title: Nonenzymatic glycosylation of proteins. A warning.
abstract: Radioactively labeled glucose from several manufacturers contains radioactive impurities of to date unknown structure. These contaminants bind covalently to proteins, e.g. collagen, fibronectin, basic myelin protein, bovine serum albumin, and hemoglobin, and thus simulate nonenzymatic glycosylation.
