4-Azido-L-phenylalanine（Cat No.:I003194）is a synthetic amino acid analog characterized by the presence of an azido group at the para position of the phenyl ring. This modification makes it a versatile tool in biochemistry and molecular biology for site-specific protein labeling and crosslinking studies. The azido group can undergo bioorthogonal reactions, such as click chemistry, enabling the incorporation of probes and other functional groups into proteins. This property is particularly useful for studying protein interactions, dynamics, and functions in complex biological systems, contributing significantly to advanced research in proteomics and structural biology.
