  1. aConditions of the modifications: treatment of STSSSCNLSK 1a (0.1 mM) with isoxazolinium reagent 2a (different amounts with different loadings of AgNO3) in 50 mM PBS buffer/CH3CN (19:1) with different pH values for 2 h. bConversion of the modification was determined by LC-MS analysis. cNearly complete conversion (≥99%) was achieved after 24 h. dReagent was prepared without addition of AgNO3
