Amino Acids Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The nature of the products arising from a 10 days, sterile incubation at 37°C and pH 7.2 of a 1:1 mixture of N-α-(p-tosyl)-lysine-methylesterhydrochloride and anhydrous D-glucose was investigated by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and1H and13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. Differently to the reactivity usually described on the basis of other analytical techniques, FAB mass spectrometric measurements indicate the occurrence of the reaction of protected lysine with more than one D-glucose molecule.
