SDA alkyne

SDA alkyne contains both diazirine photoaffinity moiety and alkyne functional group. It is an excellent building block to introduce photoaffinity function into an azide-modified biomolecule via the well-known click chemistry. Diazirines are known for their ability to undergo photochemical reactions when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, specifically by forming highly reactive carbene intermediates that react with nearby molecules, forming covalent bonds. This property makes diazirines useful for studying protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid interactions, ligand-receptor binding, and other biomolecular interactions. It's important to note that diazirines are highly reactive and can be challenging to handle due to their instability. They require careful storage and handling, typically in a controlled environment. Additionally, the choice of diazirine-containing compound and the conditions of the photolabeling experiment must be carefully optimized to achieve desired results while minimizing non-specific reactions.

SDA maleimide effectively combines two established chemical modalities, thiol-selective maleimide chemistry and diazirine-based photoaffinity labeling. Its maleimide group forms covalent thioether bond with thiol groups on one protein, while the diazirine moiety exhibit efficient photoreactivity towards amino acid side chains or peptide backbones on another protein within the prescribed spacer arm distance, once activated by long-wave UV light (330-370 nm).
