4-Azido-L-phenylalanine  (Synonyms: p-Azidophenylalanine; p-Azido-L-phenylalanine)

Cat. No.: HY-16714 Purity: 99.93%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

4-Azido-L-phenylalanine is an unnatural amino acid, which is used as an effective vibrational reporter of local protein environments. 4-Azido-L-phenylalanine is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
