O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-L-tyrosine Hydrochloride is used in the synthesis of caged peptides. In peptide synthesis, it serves as a building block that can be selectively deprotected under light exposure, enabling the stepwise construction of complex peptide chains. This methodology supports the creation of peptides with precise structural and functional characteristics, facilitating research into protein structure-function relationships and the development of bioactive peptides. When exposed to light in the range of 300-350 nm it undergoes rapid photolysis resulting in the release of tyrosine. This feature is especially useful in the development of photoresponsive materials and in the study of biological systems where spatial and temporal control of molecule release is crucial.
