Application

2-Nitrobenzyl bromide was used for caging unprotected cysteine-containing or thiophosphorylated peptides in aqueous solution. It can be used in the synthesis of (R)- and (S)-3-amino-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinolin-2-one.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2-Nitrobenzyl bromide reacts with L-cysteine to form S-2-nitrobenzyl-cysteine which was used for modification of ultra-low-gelling-temperature (ULGT) agarose.

Photoreleasable molecules are important in studies of various biological phenomena, especially cell signaling. Here we report a generally applicable approach for 'caging' unprotected cysteine-containing or thiophosphorylated peptides in aqueous solution with 2-nitrobenzyl bromides. Photolysis of the caged peptides was achieved

Tissue engineering aims to replace, repair or regenerate tissue/organ function, by delivering signalling molecules and cells on a three-dimensional (3D) biomaterials scaffold that supports cell infiltration and tissue organization. To control cell behaviour and ultimately induce structural and functional tissue

Photoresponsive polymers have attracted increasing interest for a variety of applications. Here, we report a family of photoresponsive polypeptoid-based copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N-(S-(o-nitrobenzyl)-thioethyl) glycine)-co-poly(N-(2-phenylethyl) glycine) (PEG-b-PNSN-co-PNPE) synthesized by the controlled ring-opening polymerization (ROP) technique. The key feature of the design is
