Application

Methyl-o-nitropiperonyllysine (mNPK) trifluoroacetic acid is a photo-responsive unnatural amino acid (UAA) for spatiotemporal control of biological molecules or processes as reported by Kneuttinger et al. Irradiation with UV light decages the Lys amino acid, freeing the residue or protein for biological activity. Tools such as mNPK will find wide utility in light regulation of activity, allostery, and enzyme pathways.

Product can be used with our line of photoreactors: Including Penn PhD (Z744035) & SynLED 2.0 (Z744080)
