N. Soundararajan et al., SYNTHESIS AND BINDING OF NEW POLYFLUORINATED ARYL AZIDES TO ALPHA-CHYMOTRYPSIN - NEW REAGENTS FOR PHOTOAFFINITY-LABELING, Bioconjugate chemistry, 4(4), 1993, pp. 256-261
The preparation of several new, water-soluble, polyfluorinated aryl az
ide reagents for use in photoaffinity labeling studies is described. T
he ability of some of these reagents and their nonfluorinated controls
to noncovalently bind to alpha-chrymotrypsin is reported. It is found
that polyfluorination does not interfere with ligand binding.
