HSA was treated with either seco A or seco B followed by NaBH4 reduction. SPE fractionation was performed Supporting Information Scheme 1). The majority of unmodified peptides were contained in the 30% MeCN fraction (Supporting Information Table 1). All the identified adducted peptides were found in the 60% MeCN fraction. Based on MS/MS fragmentation patterns, the final form of secosterol was identified as seco B or its dehydrated products. A separate list of adducted peptides is shown in Supporting Information Table 2. The same sites have been modified by both electrophiles repeatedly. Identified peptides were further confirmed by DDNL MS3. The mass accuracy and peptide fragmentation assignments are in good agreement with their covalent modification and sites. K* represents a seco B imine adduct on lysine. K& is a dehydrated adduct on lysine. C# is a carbamidomethyl modification on cysteine.
