This chemical is widely used in bioconjugation and crosslinking applications, particularly in the modification of biomolecules. It serves as a photoactivatable crosslinker, enabling the formation of covalent bonds between molecules upon exposure to UV light. This property makes it valuable in protein labeling, immobilization of biomolecules on surfaces, and the study of protein-protein interactions. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of biosensors and affinity probes, where precise attachment of molecules is required. Its azide group allows for click chemistry reactions, facilitating efficient and selective conjugation with alkyne-functionalized compounds. This versatility makes it a key reagent in biochemical research and biotechnological applications.
