3-[3-(but-3-yn-1-yl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]propanoic acid

3-[3-(But-3-yn-1-yl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]propanoic acid (CAS: 1450754-37-6)

Description:
This compound is a versatile chemical probe used in biochemical research, featuring three functional groups:

1. Diazirine Group: Photoactivates under UV light to form a highly reactive carbene, which binds covalently to nearby biomolecules.
2. Alkyne Group: Enables bioorthogonal conjugation via click chemistry, allowing attachment of tags or labels.
3. Carboxylic Acid Group: Conjugates with amine-containing molecules, such as proteins, through standard amide bond formation.

Applications:

• Photoaffinity Labeling: Identifies protein-ligand interactions by forming bonds under UV activation.
• Chemical Probe Development: Attaches selectively to biomolecules for detection or isolation.
• Crosslinking Studies: Stabilizes transient protein-protein or protein-nucleic acid interactions for analysis.

Storage:
Store in the dark under inert gas, below -20°C, to preserve stability and reactivity.
