Application

Photoactive, heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent. Typically, initial reaction couples via ester to primary amine by amide bond formation in the pH range 6.5-8.5. Second bonding occurs during UV irradiation (250-350 nm) via reactive nitrene. The latter bonding is rapid and non-specific.

Caution

Reducing agents such as thiols may reduce the azide to amine and should be avoided. Initial manipulations and coupling should be performed under reduced light.

Other Notes

Note that the nitro substituent provides an absorption band at a longer wavelength compared to simple aryl azide.

Reaction of rabbit skeletal muscle F-actin with the lysine-directed photolabile cross-linker, N-5-azido-2-nitrobenzoyloxy succinimide was limited to Lysine-328 and Lysine-326, with Lysine-328 being labelled to a greater extent.

We characterized structurally the receptors for somatostatin in rat cerebral cortex by affinity labeling with [125I-Tyr1] somatostatin. [125I-Tyr1] somatostatin was cross-linked to cerebrocortical membranes using photoreactive cross-linker: N-5-azido-2-nitrobenzoyloxy-succinimide. Analysis by autoradiography revealed a broad band centered at Mr = 72,000
