Investigation of an unnatural amino acid for use as a resonance Raman probe: Detection limits, solvent and temperature dependence of the νC≡N band of 4-cyanophenylalanine
{{output}}
The incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins that act as spectroscopic probes can be used to study protein structure and function. One such probe is 4-cyanophenylalanine (PheCN), the nitrile group of which has a stretching mode that occurs in a reg... ...
