Notes: Conversion of N-term Cys to thiazolidine during HF deprotection of His(Bom)-containing peptides [1-3]. See structure at http://www.abrf.org/images/misc/dmass12b.gif; modification in red. This modification cannot be excluded during final deprotection/cleavage in Fmoc-chemistry in cases when His(Bum) was employed [4]. For formation of free imino acid see PubMed:1527501.
