Formats and hyperlinks were adapted from the original.</strong></p><div><div><div><p>The complexities and challenges presented by the analysis of protein paint binders illustrate the need for novel methods of identification for these materials, in particular to distinguish between terrestrial and fish-animal glues. An alternative approach with great potential may be found in the neighboring field of archeology, where collagen in bones and teeth has been used as a palaeodietary indicator since the 1970s. Determination of bulk δ<sup>15</sup>N values may suggest the position of an organism in the respective food web, while δ<sup>13</sup>C values offer insight into their diet. (<a href="javascript:;">27−29</a>) Bulk δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N values of collagen are weighted averages of the δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N values of their constituent AAs, which reflect both dietary sources and metabolic processes. Serine, glycine, and alanine (Ser, Gly, and Ala) are part of the glucogenic AA group, which is biosynthesized from intermediates of glycolysis. As pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis, considered the catabolic pathway of carbohydrates, the isotopic signature of these AAs should reflect that of dietary carbohydrates. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid (Asp and Glu), asparagine (Asn), and Pro are part of the ketogenic AA group, originating from intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Due to their TCA cycle precursors, the isotopic signature of these AAs should reflect that of the whole diet, if biosynthesized <i>de novo</i>. Finally, Hyp and hydroxylysine cannot be incorporated into proteins from the diet and are formed after the polypeptides are synthesized, during posttranslational processing of collagen. Hydroxylysine is formed from lysine (Lys), whereas Hyp results from hydroxylation of Pro residues. (<a href="javascript:;">30</a>) Moreover, AAs in the “trophic group“ tend to display a large enrichment in <sup>15</sup>N with increasing trophic level, unlike those belonging to the “source group.“</p></div><div><p>Significant limitations therefore surround the interpretation of bulk stable isotope ratios, which, however, may be overcome by compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA). Individual AA δ<sup>13</sup>C values have proven invaluable for distinguishing terrestrial from marine diets of our ancestors, (<a href="javascript:;">30−35</a>) while AA δ<sup>15</sup>N values are being increasingly used in archeological trophic position studies. (<a href="javascript:;">36−39</a>) Despite the similarity in target material, CSIA has never been extended to the analysis of animal glue, or any other protein, in paintings. Reasons for this are likely linked to the sample sizes required for standard protocols for GC-combustion-isotope ratio MS (GC-C-IRMS), which, however, as illustrated by recent studies, (<a href="javascript:;">40−42</a>) may be significantly reduced by undertaking direct inlet pyrolysis (DIP)-GC-C-IRMS. Here, this technique is applied to the analysis of proteins of paintings, in particular by targeting, for the first time, the stable carbon isotope composition of DKPs, protein pyrolysates. Having confirmed that DKPs reflect the isotopic signature of their constituent AAs, DKP δ<sup>13</sup>C values may be used to distinguish terrestrial from aquatic animal glue in aged paintings.</p><h4><strong>Materials and Methods</strong></h4><h5><strong>Instrumental Analyses</strong></h5><div><p>For elemental analysis (EA)-IRMS, GC-FID, and GC-C-IRMS methods, please see SI1. All chromatograms were replotted in RStudio. DIP-GC-MS was carried out on an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=7890A"><strong>Agilent Technologies 7890A GC</strong></a> coupled to an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=5975C"><strong>Agilent Technologies 5975C MSD</strong></a> (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA), a single quadrupole MS. The GC was equipped with a nonpolar fused-silica capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm i.d. × 0.25 μm film thickness) with a BPX5 stationary phase (5% phenyl polysilphenylene-siloxane, SGE) and a TSP in the multimode inlet (MMI), operated in splitless mode. The initial TSP temperature was 50 <span>°</span>C, set to rise to 450 <span>°</span>C (900 <span>°</span>C min<sup>–1</sup>, 3 min isothermal hold), before cooling to 250 <span>°</span>C (25 <span>°</span>C min<sup>–1</sup>, 40 min isothermal hold). The oven temperature began at 40 <span>°</span>C, was increased to 200 <span>°</span>C (10 <span>°</span>C min<sup>–1</sup>), and then to 310 <span>°</span>C (6 <span>°</span>C min<sup>–1</sup>) with a final hold time of 20 min. He was used as a carrier gas at a constant flow (1.2 mL min<sup>–1</sup>).</p></div><div><p>The MS was set to acquire in full scan mode (<i>m</i>/<i>z</i> 50–650) at 0.2 scan s<sup>–1</sup>, and was operated at an EI potential of 70 eV with a solvent delay of 6.5 min. The MS transfer line temperature was set to 280 <span>°</span>C, the ion source temperature to 230 <span>°</span>C, and the quadrupole to 150 <span>°</span>C. Data acquisition was undertaken using Agilent Technologies Chemstation, and data processing with Agilent Technologies MassHunter software (version 10.0) and the AMDIS deconvolution software (NIST, version 2.66). Peaks were identified using a combination of mass spectral information, GC retention times (RTs), and comparison to the NIST mass spectral library (Mass Spectral Search Program version 2.0 and NIST 08 MS Library), published data sets, and NG databases. An <i>n</i>-alkane “ladder“ (with a characteristic bell-shaped peak profile) standard, containing C<sub>7</sub>–C<sub>40</sub> saturated alkanes (0.01 mg mL<sup>–1</sup> in <i>n</i>-hexane), was used to monitor instrument performance.</p></div><div><p>DIP-GC-QTOF-MS analysis was carried out on an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=7890B"><strong>Agilent Technologies 7890B GC</strong></a> coupled to an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=7200"><strong>Agilent Technologies 7200 Accurate Mass QTOF MS</strong></a> (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The same method was used, except that the MMI was held at 450 <span>°</span>C for 1 min only. The MS was set with an acquisition rate of 5 spectra s<sup>–1</sup>, an acquisition time of 200 ms spectrum<sup>–1</sup>, and an emission current of 2.1 μA. DIP-GC-C-IRMS analysis was carried out on an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=8890"><strong>Agilent Technologies 8890 GC</strong></a> coupled to an <strong>Elementar isoprime precisION IRMS</strong> via an Elementar GC5 combustion interface, using a combustion reactor containing CuO pellets and Ag wool (Elementar Analysensysteme GmbH, Hanau, Germany), maintained at 850 <span>°</span>C. The GC parameters were identical to those for DIP-GC-MS, except that the MMI, after being held at 450 <span>°</span>C for 3 min, was cooled to 300 <span>°</span>C (900 <span>°</span>C min<sup>–1</sup>, isothermal hold for 50 min). Additionally, the oven program was typically shortened by setting a lower maximum temperature (280 <span>°</span>C instead of 310 <span>°</span>C), where it was held for 10 min. He was used as a carrier gas at a constant flow (2 mL min<sup>–1</sup>).</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></section></div></div><h4><strong>Results and Discussion</strong></h4><h5><strong>Pyrolytic Marker Identification from DIP-GC-MS of Protein References</strong></h5><div><p>The thermal degradation of intact proteins has been shown to be a multistep reaction, (<a href="javascript:;">45</a>) where the formation of DKPs, occurring in the first degradation step (<i>T</i><sub>max</sub> = 325 <span>°</span>C), does not require high Py temperatures. (<a href="javascript:;">21</a>) Protein markers may therefore be detected through DIP-GC-MS, as testified by the analysis of a soapstone fragment from Qarmaaluit (18th–19th century CE). (<a href="javascript:;">46</a>) Nonetheless, given that this technique is not widely reported in the literature, modern protein references were analyzed by DIP-GC-MS, and pyrolytic profiles obtained were compared to published Py-GC-MS data. Studies have been undertaken with (<a href="javascript:;">22, 47, 48</a>) and without (<a href="javascript:;">22, 26</a>) TMAH, hence, both methods were carried out here. Results were scrutinized, in particular, to identify pyrolytic markers suitable for DIP-GC-C-IRMS analysis. Egg yolk, which presents a similar AA composition as egg white, was not examined, as its high fat content was deemed to interfere with the analysis.</p></div><div><p>In general, DIP-GC-MS analyses involving derivatization with TMAH, in particular for animal glues, featured many more compounds compared to the total ion chromatograms (TICs) obtained without derivatization (see <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://pubs.acs.org/ancham/article-supplement/5211080/pdf/ac5c07901_si_001/">Figure S1</a> for G1, aged gelatin spread). In this case, GC-MS TICs exhibited better baseline separation with the most abundant peaks corresponding to the targeted DKPs. Further analysis of glue samples was therefore carried out without derivatization, as good baseline resolution is central to reliable compound-specific stable isotope determinations. (<a href="javascript:;">43</a>) Analysis of rabbit skin glues (GRS1 and GRS2) and isinglass glues (GI1 and GI2) yielded GC-MS TICs identical to each other. In accordance with the literature, (<a href="javascript:;">21, 22, 49</a>) as illustrated in <a href="javascript:;">Figure 1</a>a, they are dominated by peaks corresponding to diketodipyrrole (peak 8) and cyclo(Pro-Gly) (peak 10). Because of its relatively high polarity, or overloading, the latter produces a broad (fronting) peak.

(<a href="javascript:;">15</a>) The author reported AA profiles consistent with the presence of animal glues, which, for this purpose, would be expected to be of terrestrial origin. However, given the low proportion of Pro and Hyp in NG6368, White discussed a possible aquatic origin for this glue. Analysis was repeated with the aforementioned DIP techniques, revealing very similar profiles to those of the reference animal glues (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://pubs.acs.org/ancham/article-supplement/5211080/pdf/ac5c07901_si_001/">Figure S6</a>). The protein binder in the ground layers of both paintings exhibited similar DKP stable carbon isotope signatures. In particular, δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>Pro-Gly</sub> values were determined to be −18.4‰ (±0.1) and −17.6‰ (±0.1) for NG599 and NG6368, respectively. The δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>Pro-Hyp</sub> values were found to equal −19.8‰ (±0.4) and −18.6‰ (±0.001), respectively.</p></div><div><p>It should be noted that the SD observed for these determinations is lower than what was reported for some of the reference binders discussed above. These errors are in line with those observed for standard GC-C-IRMS methods. As these paint fragments were in the form of very fine powder, typical of paint samples, these results support that sample inhomogeneities might be primarily responsible for wide SDs, rather than the DIP-GC-C-IRMS method itself. In the case of marine animal glues, more enriched δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>DKP</sub> values would be expected than those observed here, especially for cyclo(Pro-Gly). Instead, the determined δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>DKP</sub> values suggest a terrestrial origin for the glues in both paintings. Indeed, by plotting the values as described above, as shown in <a href="javascript:;">Figure 7</a>, both paintings fall extremely close to the reference rabbit skin glues. Hence, for NG599, these results are in agreement with the previous analysis by White (1984). However, regarding the origin of the binder from NG6368, these findings support a similar terrestrial origin, suggesting that a lower-than-average concentration of Pro and Hyp is not characteristic of fish glues.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Anal_Chem_2026_98_29_21183_21196_Figure_7_a_d13_C_Pro_Gly_values_for_the_ground_layers_from_paintings_NG_599_purple_star_and_NG_6368_pink_star_bb585e6957.jpg" alt="Anal.

Given the challenges currently faced by this field to differentiate fish glues from other animal glues, this innovative technique might enable new information to be gathered on artist techniques and the history of use of these materials. It is important to note that the method can be applied to many other fields of research. In addition to painting analysis, this minimally invasive protocol is pertinent to any discipline that involves the analysis of degraded proteins, heterogeneous and complex matrices, or where access to samples is restricted due to ethical implications or lack of material. This includes environmental and forensic sciences, paleo- and zooarcheology, paleoecology, and anthropology.</p></div><h4><strong>Conclusions</strong></h4><div><p>Aged proteins encountered in painted cultural heritage have usually undergone extreme structural changes from the freshly applied material, often rendering unambiguous protein source determination unattainable. In particular, the distinction between terrestrial and aquatic animal glues is typically not possible without proteomics approaches. Nonetheless, this paper demonstrates that, with minimal sample sizes, DIP-GC-C-IRMS permits determination of δ<sup>13</sup>C values of DKPs arising from pyrolysis of aged proteinaceous material, providing the first record of the isotopic signature of these compounds. In this study, δ<sup>13</sup>C values of DKPs were shown to reflect the δ<sup>13</sup>C values of the parent AAs and, therefore, to permit unambiguous differentiation between terrestrial and marine animal glues, analogous to the use of CSIA of archeological collagen for palaeodietary reconstruction.</p></div><div><p>Remarkably, DIP-GC-C-IRMS, requiring a considerably smaller sample (in the microgram range) than typical GC-C-IRMS methods (in the milligram range), renders CSIA accessible for the investigation of proteinaceous material in painted cultural heritage for the first time. This widens the application of CSIA to precious, unique, and fragile objects in cultural heritage and beyond. Moreover, the rapidity of the analysis places DIP-GC-C-IRMS as a useful screening method to identify materials of interest for further proteomic analyses.</p></div><div><p>First, the isotopic imprint of modern references for rabbit skin glues, isinglass glues, casein, chicken, and duck eggs was confirmed through established EA-IRMS and GC-C-IRMS methods. As expected, bulk and individual AA δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N values for terrestrial animal glues exhibited a higher depletion in <sup>13</sup>C and <sup>15</sup>N than the marine glues. The δ<sup>13</sup>C values of DKPs arising from DIP-GC-C-IRMS of the same materials were found to retain this relationship. Furthermore, the ground layers of two 16th-century Italian paintings from the National Gallery collection, known to contain animal glue, yielded δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>DKP</sub> values consistent with the terrestrial variety, confirming that the isotopic signature of these compounds is retained through aging and degradation.</p></div>
