Abstract
A novel reporter group delivery system for the chemical modification of proteins and the investigation of enzyme mechanisms is proposed. The design of this system is based on structural analogy with pyridoxal phosphate and σ-complex adduct formation. Progress is described toward the synthesis of suitable compounds, via three different approaches involving structural modification of the pyridine nucleus. A number of new compounds have been prepared, and other directions for future investigations are indicated.
