The modified triphosphate was used as substrate for enzymatic synthesis of modified DNA probes with KOD XL DNA polymerase. The keto-ABNO radical reacted with tryptophan (Trp) and Trp-containing peptides to form a stable 3-fused hexahydropyrrolo-indole conjugates. Similarly modified ABNO-H-linked nucleotides reacted with Trp-containing peptides to form a stable conjugate in the presence but surprisingly even in the absence of NaNO2 (presumably through activation by O2). The reactive ABNO-H-modified DNA probe was used for bioconjugations and crosslinking with Trp-containing peptides or proteins.
