A self-immobilizing and fluorogenic unnatural amino acid that mimics phosphotyrosinef

摘要

Synthesis of the first self-immobilizing, fluorogenic unnatural amino acid that mimics phosphotyrosine (pTyr) is reported. By using solid-phase peptide synthesis, it was subsequently incorporated into peptide-based probes which found applications in bioimaging and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS).
