Isotope-coded Fluorous PALs

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Marv

Prof. Qisheng Zhang at UNC-Chapel Hill has published several papers about the synthesis and use of fluorous tagged photoaffinity labels (PALs) and has just published another report in Chemical Communications.  The general strategy is to attach a photosensitive reactive group … Continue reading →

Biomolecule Labeling: Fluorous Luminescence

Posted on September 1, 2011 by Marv

The labeling of biomolecules with exogenous reagents is generally done for one of two purposes either enrichment or detection.  Enrichment labeling is generally in the form of some sort of affinity tag such as biotin, a His tag, and yes, … Continue reading →

Fluorous Photoaffinity Labeling

Posted on July 26, 2011 by Marv

Photoaffinity labeling reagents is a valuable way by which to study the interactions between two molecular entities.  Often times this is a ligand and it’s receptor.  The strategy is to attach the photolabel to a ligand, incubate with it’s binding … Continue reading →

Upon Further Review

Posted on April 20, 2011 by Marv

Over the past month or two several reviews have been published which mention or have fluorous sections within them.  None of these reviews are dedicated to fluorous techniques, but rather to other topics where fluorous methods are just a part. … Continue reading →
