Application

Methyl-o-nitropiperonyllysine (mNPK) trifluoroacetic acid is a photo-responsive unnatural amino acid (UAA) for spatiotemporal control of biological molecules or processes as reported by Kneuttinger et al. Irradiation with UV light decages the Lys amino acid, freeing the residue or protein for biological activity. Tools such as mNPK will find wide utility in light regulation of activity, allostery, and enzyme pathways.

Product can be used with our line of photoreactors: Including Penn PhD (Z744035) & SynLED 2.0 (Z744080)

Controlled manipulation of proteins and their function is important in almost all biological disciplines. Here, we demonstrate control of protein activity with light. We present two different applications-light-triggered transcription and light-triggered protease cleavage-both based on the same concept of protein

Selective manipulation of protein kinases under living conditions is highly desirable yet extremely challenging, particularly in a gain-of-function fashion. Here we employ our recently developed bioorthogonal cleavage reaction as a general strategy for intracellular activation of individual kinases. Site-specific incorporation

Viruses utilize distinct binding interactions with a variety of host factors to gain entry into host cells. A chemical strategy is described to precisely perturb a specific molecular interaction between adeno-associated virus and its host cell, which can be rapidly
