title: From DNA cross-linking to peptide labeling: on the versatility of the furan-oxidation-conjugation strategy.
abstract: Based on the incorporation of commercially available N-Fmoc-furylalanine, a new method for peptide labeling is proposed, relying on the selective oxidative transformation of the furan moiety into a reactive aldehyde and subsequent reductive amination.
