A method for the selective modification of tryptophan residues based on the reaction of malondialdehyde with the indole nitrogen of the tryptophan side chain at acidic conditions is presented. The condensation reaction is quantitative and leads to a substituted acrolein moiety with a remaining reactive aldehyde group. As is shown, this group can be further converted to a hydrazone using hydrazide compounds, but if hydrazine or phenylhydrazine are used, release of the free indole group is observed upon cleavage of the substitution. Alternatively, secondary amines such as pyrrolidine may also act as cleavage reagents. This general reaction scheme has been adapted and optimized for the derivatization of tryptophan-containing peptides and small N-heterocyclic compounds. It serves as the basis of a reversible tagging scheme for Trp-peptides or molecules of interest carrying indole structures as it allows the specific attachment and removal of a reactive group that may be used for a variety of purposes such as affinity tagging.
