Abstract

Hydrophobic photoaffinity labeling is a powerful strategy to identify hydrophobic segments within molecules, in particular membrane proteins. Here we report the design and synthesis of a novel family of fluorescent and photosensitive lipid tools, which have a common amino acid scaffold functionalized by three groups:(i) a first fatty acid chain grafted with a photoactivatable benzophenone moiety (Fatty Acid BenzoPhenone, FABP),(ii) a second ...
