3-Benzoylquinoxalinone as a photoaffinity labelling derivative with fluorogenic properties allowing reaction monitoring under “no-wash” conditions

Described herein is a quinoxalinone-based photoaffinity probe with caged fluorescence properties. Upon visible blue LED irradiation (λ_max 450 nm), this photo-crosslinker is able to covalently capture proteins with concomitant fluorescence labelling. This process enables monitoring applications under "no wash" conditions.
