DiAzKs hydrochloride_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	DiAzKs (H-L-Photo-lysine) hydrochloride is a diazirine-containing lysine amino acid and is a photo-cross-linker. DiAzKs hydrochloride can site-selective incorporated into proteins and is used to crosslink protein-protein interactions in vitro and in living cells. DiAzKs hydrochloride acts as a UV light-activated photo-crosslinking probe[1][2][3].
Invitro	Photo-lysine, which is readily incorporated into proteins by native mammalian translation machinery, can be used to capture and identify proteins that recognize lysine post-translational modifications (PTMs), including 'readers' and 'erasers' of histone modifications[2].
