Tyrosine-azide

The azide group allows for selective labeling of proteins and peptides, enabling tagging for visualization or tracking in biological systems.It can be part of a platform for the synthesis of novel pharmaceuticals, where the azide functionality can impact the bioactivity or pharmacokinetics of the compound.

Tyrosine-azide/Azide-Tyrosine/Tyrosine-N3 can be used in the preparation of functionalized polymers or biomaterials through click chemistry, enabling the development of new materials with specific properties.

Tapping into its bioorthogonal characteristics, tyrosine-azide can participate in specific reactions in complex biological systems without interfering with normal cellular functions, which is useful in drug delivery and diagnostics.
