Abstract

The photoreactions of 4-nitroveratrole (NVT) and 2-fluoro-4-nitroanisole (FNA) with bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNAase A) and with model nucleophiles are described. From them it is concluded that 2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl ethers constitute improved alternative biochemical photoprobes, specially for proteins where a number of good nucleophiles are present.
