Abstract
The detection of thiol functionality and intramolecular disulfide bond formation of peptides using the α-Keggin type polyoxometalate molybdenum–oxygen cluster (H3PMo12O40·nH2O) is described. Our method entails the addition of this polyoxometalate to solutions of thiol, whereupon the color of the solution changes from colorless to deep blue. Reduction of the polyoxometalate from Mo(VI) to Mo(V) occurs with concomitant oxidation of the thiol functionality, to form disulfide bonds. To exemplify the utility this phenomenon, we accomplished the oxidation of glutathione, reduced linear oxytocin, bactenecin, and α-conotoxin SI; all of which proceeded smoothly and in good conversion in 24 h to less and were accomplished by a change in the color of the reaction solutions.
