“…28 Besides, it is well documented that disulfide bond-containing peptide parent ions generate a series of predictable fragmental ions after EC reduction due to the fracture of the disulfide bond. 29 To facilitate the identification of the cross-linked products, a disulfide bond was designed inserting into the novel crosslinker. Therefore, an EC-cleavable cross-linker was designed and synthesized, namely, DBB, which contains two urazol functional groups targeting tyrosine residues in protein and one EC-labile S−S bond (Figure 1).…”
