Beschreibung

4-Formyl-6-methoxy-3-nitrophenoxyacetic acid is a photolabile formylated nitrophenol that is used to study the formation of concentration gradients across cell membranes. 4-Formyl-6-methoxy-3-nitrophenoxyacetic acid has been found to react with proton gradients and formyl groups in the membrane, which produces formaldehyde. The reaction mechanism for this process is not well understood, but it has been proposed that the reaction proceeds through a transducing step in which an electron from the formyl group reacts with a proton gradient to produce a formate ion. This mechanism is supported by experiments that show that the rate of photochemical reactions increases as the pH gradient across the membrane decreases.
