3-Methyl-3H-diazirine-3-propanol（Cat No.:M131573） is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C5H10N2O. It is a diazirine derivative, containing a diazirine ring (a three-membered ring with two nitrogen atoms and one carbon atom) attached to a propane chain with a hydroxyl group. This compound is widely used in photoaffinity labeling studies in biochemistry and molecular biology. Upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, the diazirine ring undergoes a photochemical reaction, forming a highly reactive carbene intermediate that can covalently cross-link with nearby biomolecules.
