Product Information

• Name: N6-[(2-Azidoethoxy)carbonyl]-l-lysine
• Synonyms: Nε-2-Azidoethyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N6-[(2-Azidoethoxy)carbonyl]-l-lysine is a triazole that is chemically synthesized. It has been used to label recombinant proteins and it can be used as a fluorescent probe for labeling DNA or RNA. N6-[(2-Azidoethoxy)carbonyl]-l-lysine can be used to introduce site-specific intramolecular crosslinks in proteins by reacting with an amine group on the protein and a nucleophilic group on the same protein. This chemical reaction results in the formation of a covalent bond between two amino acid residues, causing a change in the topology of the protein. The introduction of this chemical moiety into erythromycin A was shown to decrease its antibiotic activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, and Enterococcus faecium.
