Photo-activation of the hydrophobic probe iodonaphthylazide in cells alters membrane protein function leading to cell death
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Photo-activation of the hydrophobic membrane probe 1, 5 iodonaphthylazide (INA) by irradiation with UV light (310–380 nm) results in the covalent modification of transmembrane anchors of membrane proteins. This unique selectivity of...
