Description

4-Aminophenylsuccinic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that is synthetized from the amino acid phenylalanine. It is an acidic, hydrophobic compound that interacts with enzymes such as azido-dicarboxylate transaminase. 4-Aminophenylsuccinic acid can be used as a photoaffinity label for the study of protein synthesis and mitochondrial function. The aminophenyl group of 4-aminophenylsuccinic acid reacts with an azido group to form an amide bond. This reaction is reversible and will break down when exposed to light or heat, making it a useful labeling reagent.
