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)

Photoaffinity labeling is a reliable analytical method for biological functional analysis. Three major photophores--aryl azide, benzophenone and trifluoromethyldiazirine--are utilized in analysis. Photophore-bearing L-phenylalanine derivatives, which are used for biological functional analysis, were inoculated into a Klebsiella sp. isolated from the

The Boc-protected derivative of a photoactivatable, carbene-generating analogue of phenylalanine, L-4'-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]phenylalanine [(Tmd)Phe], was used to acylate 5'-O-phosphorylcytidylyl(3'-5')adenosine (pCpA). A diacyl species was isolated which upon successive treatments with trifluoroacetic acid and 0.01 M HCl yielded a 1:1 mixture of 2'(3')-O-(Tmd)phenylalanyl-pCpA

Cell signaling pathways are essentially organized through the distribution of various types of binding domains in signaling proteins, with each domain binding to specific target molecules. Although identification of these targets is crucial for mapping the pathways, affinity-based or copurification

Alternative one-pot synthesis of 3-(trifluoromethyl)-3-phenyldiazirine derivatives from corresponding tosyloximes is developed. The deprotonation of intermediate diaziridine by NH2(-) is a new approach for construction of diazirine. Moreover, a novel synthesis of optically pure (trifluoromethyl)diazirinylphenylalanine derivatives was attempted involving these methods.
