Abstract

Photoaffinity labeling is a useful methodology for determining the active site of a given enzyme. It is also a very important tool in discovering what roles different enzymes play in the human body. Our research group has been involved in a continuous effort to develop new and more effective photoaffinity labeling reagents. I A photoaffinity labeling model compound currently under investigation is the target molecule 4-nitro-3-trifluoromethylbenzyl phenyl sulfide.
