Thiols, simple and complex, including polypeptide and protein thiols, react rapidly and selectively with esters of propiolic acid under very mild conditions (aqueous buffer, room temperature, pH 7) to give thioacrylates. These stable derivatives exhibit strong, characteristic ultraviolet spectra, maximal
