59. Surprisingly, the use of lower amounts of DPAP (50 and 10mol%) were not sufficient for achieving a complete glycosylation of this peptide.

64. Indeed, the detected mass shift was lower than the value calculated for the addition of three sugar units (3x372 uma). This result is explained by the presence of a portion of 10 containing two galactose units only. As commonly observed for partially oxidized commercial batches of BSA, the BSA subjected to functionalization with la contained only a fraction of available free sulfhydryl groups at Cys34 (ca. 45% from previous studies: a) P. De, M. Li, S. R. Gondi, S. B. Sumerlin, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 11288-11289;

67. Unfortunately, pre-treatment of glycosylated BSA 10 with dithiothreitol (DTT) for protein disulfide bonds reduction followed by excess iodoacetamide (IAA) sulfhydryl groups derivatization produced tryptic fragments, which displayed the acetamido group at cysteine residues 34, 75, and, very likely, at Cys-91 in place of the expected galactoside moiety (see the Supporting Information). This outcome is tentatively explained by the formation of intermediate S-acetamido sulfonium derivatives of glycosylated cysteine peptide fragments followed by a β-elimination process, which should result in the formation of the allyl galactoside la and S-acetamido peptide fragments (see Scheme S1). The occurrence of this undesired side reaction that makes the DTT/IAA analysis method unsuitable for the characterization of glycosylated BSA 10 was also demonstrated by using the less complex glycopeptide 9 as the substrate (Supporting Information). For a deeper discussion on the β-elimination reaction of dialkylated sulfonium derivatives of Cys and the synthetic potential of related oxidative elimination of Cys for protein modification, see ref. [8].
