Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides novel reactive fluorescent compounds that incorporate stable isotopic (deuterium, 13-carbon, 15-nitrogen, 18-oxygen) substitutions. The invention includes the use of these compounds, in combination with non-isotopically substituted analogs, for the purification, identification and relative quantification of proteins, peptides, saccharides, metabolites, and other biologically important compounds by combining liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS). Fluorescent labeling of target compounds in this manner provides orders-of-magnitude sensitivity enhancement over traditional stable isotope labels, and also affords the possibility of simultaneous multiplexed analysis due to the multiwavelength nature of different fluorophores.
