1-Ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide (EDC) bioconjugations have been utilized in preparing variants for medical research. While there have been advances in optimizing the reaction for aqueous applications, there has been limited focus toward identifying conditions and side reactions that interfere with product formation. We present a systematic investigation of EDC/N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sNHS)-mediated bioconjugations on carboxylated peptides and small proteins. We identified yet-to-be-reported side products arising from both the reagents and substrates. Model peptides used in this study illustrate particular substrates are more susceptible to side reactions than others. From our studies, we found that bioconjugations are more efficient with high concentrations of amine nucleophile but not sNHS. Performing bioconjugations on a model affibody protein show that the trends established with model peptides hold for more complex systems.
