Isocyanates are good electrophiles that have been used for protein modification. However, they have limited stability in water.
As a result isothiocyanates have been developed at less hydrolytically sensitive variants. Molecules like fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) have been used extensively to fluorescently modify proteins. Draw the product of a lysine side chain with FITC. (for the sake of simplicity we are just using a model for lysine's side chain butyl amine)

21.86582KJ
Explanation:
The graphical form of the Arrhenius equation is shown on the image attached. Remember that in the Arrhenius equation, we plot the rate constant against the inverse of temperature. The slope of this graph is the activation energy and its y intercept is the frequency factor.
Applying the equation if a straight line, y=mx +c, and comparing the given equation with the graphical form of the Arrhenius equation shown in the image attached, we obtain the activation energy of the reaction as shown.
