2(S)-Amino-4-azido-butanoic Acid

Description

L-azidohomoalaine provides a fast, sensitive, non-toxic and non-radioactive alternative to the traditional radioactive technique, 35S-methionine for the detection of nascent protein. L-azidohomoalaine is an amino acid analog that contains a small modification and its azido moiety can be fed to cultured cells and incorporated into proteins during active protein synthesis.
