Description
Application
H-L-Photo-Phe-OH is a diazirine-containing phenylalanine amino acid and multifunctional
photo-crosslinker. Its incorporation into peptides or small-molecule probes and tools allows for photoaffinity labeling of cellular targets and protein-protein interactions upon UV light (∼360 nm) irradiation to form a covalent bond. This and other multifunctional probe building blocks will continue to accelerate drug discovery research for probing cellular mechanisms, target ID/validation, and understanding traditionally undruggable targets. An Fmoc-protected version is also available as 907294.
Product can be used with our line of photoreactors: Including Penn PhD (Z744035) & SynLED 2.0 (Z744080)
