In a first instance, a general overview of the vinyl sulfone chemistry in terms of the most relevant methods of synthesis and aspects of their reactivity will be followed by a discussion of the application of this chemical behaviour with proteins. Their advantages and disadvantages with other currently available methodologies to modify amine and thiol groups naturally present in proteins will be compared. In a second section the applications of vinyl sulfones to Proteomics will be enumerated. Finally, the wide scope of the vinyl sulfone chemistry in other omic sciences will be discussed.}, organization = {The authors acknowledge Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica (DGICYT) (CTQ2008-01754) and Junta de Andalucía (P07-FQM-02899) for financial support.}, publisher = {Intech}, keywords = {Vinyl sulfone}, keywords = {Proteomics}, keywords = {Chemistry}, keywords = {Synthesis}, title = {Vinyl sulfone: a multi-purpose function in proteomics}, author = {López Jaramillo, Francisco Javier and Hernández Mateo, Fernando and Santoyo González, Francisco}, }
