Chloroacetyl-L-tyrosine (CAS 1145-56-8)
QUICK LINKS
Chloroacetyl-L-tyrosine is a compound that is utilized in biochemical research, particularly in the study of enzyme kinetics and mechanisms. The chloroacetyl group attached to the L-tyrosine amino acid serves as an electrophilic moiety, which can be used to modify nucleophilic sites on proteins and enzymes, thereby providing insights into active site geometries and amino acid reactivity. Researchers use chloroacetyl-L-tyrosine to synthesize peptides with specific modifications, which are then studied to understand protein-protein interactions and protein function. Additionally, this compound is of interest in the field of proteomics, where it can be employed as a chemical probe to label and identify proteins under various conditions. The L-tyrosine residue of chloroacetyl-L-tyrosine also enables investigations into the role of aromatic side chains in protein structure and ligand recognition.
