High impact information on p-Azidobenzoic acid

These compounds were tested on T1 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), which recognize the Plasmodium berghei circumsporzoite peptide 252-260 (SYIPSAEKI) containing photoreactive 4-azidobenzoic acid on Lys(259) in the context of H-2K(d) [1].
To elucidate the structural basis of T cell recognition of hapten-modified antigenic peptides, we studied the interaction of the T1 T cell antigen receptor (TCR) with its ligand, the H-2Kd-bound Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite peptide 252-260 (SYIPSAEKI) containing photoreactive 4-azidobenzoic acid (ABA) on P. berghei circumsporozoite Lys259 [2].
The photoreactive insulin derivatives N epsilon B29-(azidobenzoyl)insulin (MAB-insulin) and N alpha A1, N epsilon B29-di(azidobenzoyl)insulin (DAB-insulin) were synthesized by reacting bovine insulin with the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of 4-azidobenzoic acid [3].

Anatomical context of p-Azidobenzoic acid

The Kd-restricted Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite peptide 253-260 (YIPS-AEKI) was conjugated with iodo-4-azidosalicylic acid at the N terminus and with 4-azidobenzoic acid at the T cell receptor residue Lys-259 [4].
