Abstract
Abstract7‐Azatryptophan is proposed as an alternative to tryptophan as a photophysical probe in the study of protein structure and dynamics. Not only are the spectral characteristics of 7‐azatryptophan easily distinguishable from those of tryptophan, but this nonnatural amino acid is shown to be amenablc to incorporation into peptides. We present the first synthesis and purification of a synthetic peptide containing 7‐azatryptophan, NAc‐Pro‐7‐azatryptophan‐Asn‐NH2, which is shown to be a competitive inhibitor of α‐chymotrysin.
