With the commitment of being your best drug discovery partner, Lynxbioscience can provide our clients with a variety of customized services in photoaffinity labeling (PAL) for target identification and protein function analysis. Equipped with a team of professional scientists, we have won a good reputation among our customers for successfully accomplishing numerous challenging projects in this field.
Photoaffinity Labeling (PAL)
Photoaffinity labeling (PAL) has been regarded as a powerful tool for identifying candidate targets and specific molecules in drug discovery. In general, PAL can be widely used to covalently bind several chemical tags to different types of proteins, and ultraviolet light is commonly used to active a motif of the active sites in various proteins. Pilot studies have shown that PAL plays an important role in studying protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in the process of drug discovery.
The results suggest that PAL can monitor a wide collection of proteins without triggering side effects or inhibiting their functions in disease therapy. Meanwhile, recent research have demonstrated that photo crosslinking has become a perfect technique for detecting the biological functions of proteins in chemical proteomics.
A series of photo crosslinkers, such as benzophenone (BP), have been developed for capturing direct covalent or noncovalent modification in proteins. For example, BP is one of the most popular photo crosslinkers because it has high affinity and less protein damage in studying PPIs both in vitro and in vivo.
Our Services for Photoaffinity Labeling (PAL)
The covalently binding of PAL to specific targets has shown promising data in drug discovery for novel candidate drugs and potential binding sites. It has a high photolabeling efficiency and stability, a broad wavelength range, as well as a minimal protein structure damage in many biological systems. Currently, Lynxbioscience offers a diverse range of PAL services to analyze the PPIs of drug targets and molecules in drug development. Photo crosslinkers, including aryl azides (AZs), diazirines (DAs), are available for identifying the binding proteins by the chemical capture.
