Abstract

An unnatural amino acid was synthesized to incorporate a quinone methide-generating activity-based probe for protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and then integrated into a PTP1B-specific substrate. The resulting probe led to preferential labeling of PTP1B in cell lysates in the presence of PTP4A3.
