Key Event Description

?

---

The electrophilic α-diketones interact with proteins via direct covalent binding to cellular nucleophiles. The interaction occurs predominantly with the arginine residues of proteins.

How It Is Measured or Detected

?

---

The binding of α-diketones with proteins can be measured by LC-MS and ¹H- and ¹³C NMR analysis (Anders 2017, Mathews et al. 2010, Saraiva et al. 2016)
