ABSTRACT
Dimethyl labeling is a type of stable-isotope labeling suitable for creating isotopic variants of peptides and thus be utilized for quantitative proteomics experiments. Labeling is achieved through a reductive amination/alkylation reaction using the low-cost reagents formaldehyde and cyanoborohydride, resulting in dimethylation of free amine groups of Lys and N-termini. Availability of isotopomeric forms of these reagents allows for the generation of up to six different isotopic variants. Here we describe the application of dimethylation to create two isotopic variants, light and heavy, differing in 4 Da, to label the total tryptic digest peptides of cocoa pod extracted from healthy pods from cultivars susceptible and resistant to the fungal disease called "frosty pod" caused by Moniliophthora roreri.
