title: Post-translational non-enzymatic modification of proteins. I. Chromatography of marker adducts with special emphasis to glycation reactions.
abstract: Analytical methods for marker compounds formed during post-translational modifications of proteins are reviewed. Only adducts arising either in vivo or under in vitro conditions simulating the in vivo situations are discussed. All of these compounds stem from either the reaction of free amino groups (i.e., lysine, arginine or N-terminal amino acid). In most cases the reactive counterpart is an aldehydic moiety containing endogenous compound; however, other functional groups containing metabolites are considered as well. The main demand put upon such marker compounds is that they are stable in acid or enzymatic hydrolysis or, alternatively, can be stabilized by simple sample pretreatment (e.g., by reduction). Practically all categories of separation procedures can be applied provided that the chemical characteristics of a particular marker are adequately respected; frequently combination of two different separation procedures based on different principles must be used. Because of the low level of such marker compounds under in vivo conditions, an appropriate sample enrichment step must be involved. Emphasis is put upon the analysis of Amadori products, pentosidine (and pentosidine related compounds), pyrraline, furosine, N-carboxymethylamino acids, amino acid hydantoins and stabilized dicarbonyl intermediates.
