In the present work, reductive alkylation of proteins and peptides with glutaraldehyde (reductive glutaraldehydation) is reported. The reaction is highly efficient and forms piperidine at the N-terminus as well as the side chain of lysine residues. The complete modification of protein amines was achieved by reductive glutaraldehydation in solution or in the gel in less than 15 min. The glutaraldehyde-modified peptides display an enhanced intensity in mass spectra and show higher retention time in reversed phase chromatography in comparison to unmodified peptides. Fragmentation of glutaraldehyde-modified proteins and peptides generates a1 fragment ions with enhanced intensity in MS/MS spectra. Thus, a method based on reductive glutaraldehydation and LC-MS/MS analysis has been developed to determine the N-terminal residue of proteins with free N-termini.

Protein lysine monomethylation is an important post-translational modification participated in regulating many biological processes. There is growing interest in identifying these methylation events. However, the introduction of one methyl group on lysine residues has negligible effect on changing the physical and chemical properties of proteins or peptides, making enriching and identifying monomethylated lysine (Kme1) proteins or peptides extraordinarily challenging.

A challenge for shotgun proteomics is the identification of low abundance proteins, which is always hampered owing to the extreme complexity of protein digests and highly dynamic concentration range of proteins. To reduce the complexity of the peptide mixture, we developed a novel method to selectively enrich N-terminal proline peptides via hydrazide chemistry. This method consisted of ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) blocking of primary amines in peptides, reductive glutaraldehydation of N-terminal proline and solid phase hydrazide chemistry enrichment of aldehyde-modified N-terminal proline peptide.
