Abstract

A bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN)-based cyclooctyne reagent bearing a photocrosslinking diazirine (DAz) group and a biotin affinity handle, named BCN-DAz-Biotin, is reported. BCN-DAz-Biotin is the first reagent capable of simultaneously delivering photocrosslinking and affinity functionalities to azide-labeled biomolecules in living cells, which allows photoactivated capture and enrichment/detection of interacting species. Thus, for biomolecules that can be azide-labeled for bioorthogonal chemistry applications, BCN-DAz-Biotin can facilitate the study of their interactions in native settings.
