2-amino-4-phosphonobutanoic acid (nhpSer) nhpSer Used to produce proteins that mimic site-specific phosphorylation at a serine residue - where the phosphate group cannot by hydrolyzed - via genetic code expansion versus other protein phosphorylation strategies. Published: Under Review
acridonylalanine acridonylalanine It is a blue-wavelength fluorescent probe used for monitoring conformational changes and other molecular dynamics in proteins. The 2013 and 2021 foundational publications provide information on its properties, and a 2023 paper (doi: 10.1002/pro.4633) provides examples of its use in FRET studies. Published: Under Review

p-benzoyl-l-phenylalanine Image showing the ChemDraw Structure of p-benzoyl-l-phenylalanine Used as a photocrosslinker, allowing for crosslinking and bioorthogonal ligation of protein. Published: Under Review
phosphoserine pSer Used to produce site-specifically phosphorylated proteins at a serine residue via genetic code expansion versus other protein phosphorylation strategies. Published: Under Review
phosphothreonine pThr Used to produce site-specifically phosphorylated proteins at a threonine residue via genetic code expansion versus other protein phosphorylation strategies. Published: Under Review
phosphotyrosine pTyr Used to produce site-specifically phosphorylated proteins at a tyrosine residue via genetic code expansion versus other protein phosphorylation strategies. Published: Under Review
Tet2-Et Tet2-Et An amino acid that contains a 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-ethyl group that can be used for bioorthogonal, click-chemistry reactions (bioconjugation) when reacted with trans-cyclooctenes (TCOs) which can themselves be bound to various moieties such as PEG linkers, fluorophores, spin labels, etc.. These click reactions require no catalysts and can be carried out either in vivo or in vitro. Also, when reacted with strained TCOs (sTCOs), the reaction rates are extremely fast, achieving second order rate constants in excess of 10,000 per molar per second. Published: Under Review
Tet3-butyl Tet3-butyl An amino acid that contains a 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-butyl group that can be used for bioorthogonal, click-chemistry reactions (bioconjugation) when reacted with strained trans-cyclooctenes (which can themselves be bound to various moieties such as PEG linkers, fluorophores, spin labels, etc.) either in vivo for eukaryotic systems or in vitro.
