Application

Photoactive, heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent. Typically, the initial reaction couples to sulfhydryl in the pH range 7.0-8.0. Second bonding occurs during UV irradiation (250 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.

An azidophenacyl derivative of a chemically synthesized consensus signal peptide has been prepared. The peptide, when photoactivated in the presence of rough or high-salt-stripped microsomes from pancreas, leads to inhibition of their activity in cotranslational processing of secretory pre-proteins translated
