Fast cysteine labelling of peptides promoted by an adjacent arginine has been observed with a standard labelling agent specific for amines, N-succinimidyl 4-[18F]fluorobenzoate. HMBC experiment was the key experiment to corroborate this treat. The small amounts of some peptides herein studied required the sensitivty beneffits of a 500 MHz equipped with TCI cryprobe.
