1. The synthesis of methyl 5-iodopyridine-2-carboximidate and its reaction with amino groups of model compounds and performic acid-oxidized insulin are described. The reagent was designed to introduce heavy atoms into specific sites in proteins. 2. Specific reaction with the amino groups of oxidized insulin can be achieved under reasonably mild conditions giving rise to the corresponding N-monosubstituted amidines. 3. The extent of reaction of this reagent with protein amino groups can be readily determined by difference spectroscopy. Modification of lysine residues inhibits tryptic cleavage at such residues, and this can be of assistance in establishing the site of modification in the primary structure. 4. Evidence is presented to show that methyl 5-iodopyridine-2-carboximidate can react specifically, at pH5.0, with the aromatic amino group of 3-amino-l-tyrosine; the final product of this reaction is a 2-arylbenzoxazole. 5. The use of this reagent as a general method for preparing heavy-atom isomorphous derivatives of proteins is discussed.
