Pyridine borane has been reported as a superior reagent over a wide pH range, 5-9, for the reductive methylation of amino groups of proteins with formaldehyde [J. C. Cabacungan , A. I. Ahmed , and R. E. Feeney (1982) Anal.
Establishment of drug delivery system (DDS) in bone substitute materials for local treatment of bone defects still requires ambitious solutions for a retarded drug release. We present two novel DDS, a weakly cationic dendritic glycopolymer and a cationic polyelectrolyte complex
Hydroboration with pyridine borane at room temperature.

A sequential reaction methodology is employed for the complete derivatization of protein thiols, amines, and acids in high purity under denaturing conditions. Following standard thiol alkylation, protein amines are modified via reductive methylation with formaldehyde and pyridine-borane. Protein acids are
This study describes new mechanistic insights in the sequential polyassociation of streptavidin with biotinylated poly(ethyleneimine) glycopolymers and biotinylated PEGylated folic acid components for the preparation of biohybrid structures (BHS) for controlled targeting experiments. Characterization of the BHS revealed that during

Treatment of pyridine borane (Py.BH3) with iodine, bromine, or strong acids affords activated Py.BH2X complexes that are capable of hydroborating alkenes at room temperature. Evidence is presented for an unusual hydroboration mechanism involving leaving group displacement. In contrast to THF.BH3

In this note, we describe a method devised to detect, by means of mass spectrometry (MS), tryptophan-containing peptides and proteins using pyridine-borane. This reagent selectively reduces tryptophan residues, converting them to 2,3-dihydro-tryptophan, thereby enabling quantitation of tryptophans.

Efforts to couple 4 with 12 employing base mediation are problematic due to the formation of 6. To circumvent this issue, 12 was converted to the pyridine borane complex (13). Alkylation of 4 with 13 provided 3 after removal of
A novel carbon material derived from pyridine-borane.
