4-Azatryptophan(CAT: L011545) is a modified amino acid where a nitrogen atom is incorporated into the indole ring of tryptophan, replacing one of the carbon atoms, creating an azole ring. This compound is used in biochemical and pharmaceutical research, particularly as a tool for probing protein structure and function due to its ability to influence fluorescence and binding properties compared to natural tryptophan. It is also valuable in studies involving enzyme mechanisms, protein folding, and drug design, as the nitrogen substitution can alter the interaction of the molecule with biological systems, making it useful in developing novel therapeutic agents or biochemical probes.
