  • Patent number: 11913944
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for photoaffinity labeling of molecular targets. In particular, probes that specifically interact with cellular targets based on their affinity and are then covalently linked to the cellular target via a photoreactive group (PRG) on the probe.

  • Publication number: 20230357266
    Abstract: Provided herein are compounds, compositions, systems, and methods for photoactivatable labeling, which can be actuated within biological systems. In particular, compounds disclosed herein include vinyl-extended-aryl azide moieties that undergo photoactivation to generate reactive intermediates, which can form covalent linkages with biomolecules. The photoactivation can be conducted by a variety of mechanisms including ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, visible light irradiation, or energy transfer (e.g., from a photocatalyst). The compounds also include functional moieties that provide useful functionalities, for example detection of biomolecules, such as fluorophores, capture elements (e.g., biotin), or reactive moieties (e.g., click handles) and bifunctional moieties comprising a bioactive compound and a detection/capture element.
