  • * Hang & Ploegh describe azido-E-64, a cell permeable activity based-probe that provided insight into how the pathogen Salmonella eludes destruction by the immune system.

  • They then confirmed the presence of azido with fourier transform infrared (FTIR) difference spectroscopy, which measures stretching frequencies of the atoms in the amino acids that make up a protein.

  • Extensive genetic screening allowed the team to target the azido probes efficiently.

  • To apply their copper-free click chemistry to living mice, Bertozzi and her group delivered azides to the surfaces of target cells within the mice via a metabolic precursor, then labeled select glycans (those that bore corresponding azido sialic acids) by covalent reaction in vivo with a panel of cyclooctyne-FLAG peptide conjugates.

  • Because azido has a unique vibration frequency that is sensitive to its surroundings, the team was able to use the spectroscopic data to confirm structural changes rhodopsin undergoes in light versus dark.

  • The three-nitrogen-atom azido is an especially good probe for three reasons: In contrast to other tags, azido does not exist naturally in mammals, which makes it easier to "see," or distinguish from other molecules in the cell; it is small enough to not interfere with a protein's normal functioning; and it has chemical properties that make it a good handle on which to hang other molecules, like fluorescent probes.
