-Phthalaldehyde (OPA) with high reactivity to the amine group has been widely used to modify proteins. We discovered new modifications of OPA and 2-acylbenzaldehyde and proposed the reaction mechanism. Using isotope labeling mass spectrometry-based experiment, we identified new cross-linking properties of OPA and 2-acylbenzaldehyde. This reactivity revealed that OPA has the potential to probe proximal amino acids in biological systems.
