Application
H-L-Photo-leucine HCl is a diazirine-containing leucine 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 907391.

Local side-chain interactions in lyophilized protein formulations were mapped using solid-state photolytic labeling-mass spectrometry (ssPL-MS). Photoactive amino acid analogues (PAAs) were used as probes and either added to the lyophilized matrix or incorporated within the amino acid sequence of a

We report a protein labeling method using nonselective carbene reactions of sufficiently high efficiency to permit detection by mass spectrometric methods. The approach uses a diazirine-modified amino acid (l-2-amino-4,4'-azipentanoic acid, "photoleucine") as a label source, which is converted to a
