Description

Application

Phenylalanine-4′-azobenzene HCl (AzoF) is a phenylalanine derivative with an azo bond that isomerizes upon UV irradiation from its E isomer to its Z isomer and reverts back at light above 400 nm. When incorporated into proteins or chemical probes, this reversibility is utilized as a photoswitch with spatial and temporal regulation within biological systems.

Product can be used with our line of photoreactors: Including Penn PhD (Z744035) & SynLED 2.0 (Z744080)
