DMNB-caged-Serine（Cat No.:I015229）is a photolabile, protected form of the amino acid serine, modified with a 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl (DMNB) caging group. This modification renders serine biologically inactive until exposure to UV light, which triggers rapid photolysis and releases the free amino acid in situ. Such “caged” compounds are powerful tools in chemical biology and neuroscience, enabling spatiotemporal control of protein function, enzymatic activity, and metabolic pathways. DMNB-caged-Serine is widely applied in optogenetics, protein engineering, and studies requiring precise regulation of amino acid availability.
