Abstract

The study of the structure of biofunctional proteins and receptors has become one of the most exciting and rapidly moving areas of life sciences. These fields are undergoing a rapid advancement with a tremendous growth of studies at the molecular level. The molecular resolution of the receptor protein reguires working with chemical methodologies and techniques. Photoaffinity labeling is a promising chemical approach for investigation of the structure of ligand binding sites within receptor proteins. The properties of various photogenerated reactive intermediates and its precursors are evaluated, while application of properly designed photolabeling reagents are discussed to highlight the potential of the method.
