3-Ethyl-3-methyl-3H-diazirine（Cat No.:M131119） is a small, highly reactive diazirine compound often used in chemical biology and photoaffinity labeling studies. Its unique diazirine group (–N=N–) can be activated by ultraviolet (UV) light, leading to the formation of a highly reactive carbene species that can covalently crosslink to nearby biomolecules. This property makes it a valuable tool for studying protein-protein interactions, ligand-receptor interactions, and protein structure. However, its high reactivity and potential toxicity require careful handling and experimentation.
