Photoaffinity Labels

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of photoaffinity labels for use in various applications. Photoaffinity labels are specialized chemical probes used in molecular biology and biochemistry to study the interactions between biomolecules. These compounds incorporate a photoactivatable group that, upon exposure to ultraviolet light, forms a covalent bond with nearby molecules. Researchers utilize photoaffinity labels to investigate the binding sites, structure, and dynamics of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. By using these labels, scientists can capture transient interactions and map the molecular environment of binding sites with high precision. Photoaffinity labels are essential for studying complex biological pathways and characterizing protein-ligand interactions. They are also employed in proteomics to analyze protein complexes and discover new protein-protein interactions. By providing a comprehensive selection of high-quality photoaffinity labels, Santa Cruz Biotechnology supports advanced research in fields such as structural biology and biochemistry. These products enable scientists to conduct precise and reproducible experiments, driving innovations in understanding molecular mechanisms.
