https://www.selleckchem.com/MEK.html Fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP) has demonstrated the ability to inform on the higher order structure of proteins. Recent technological advances have extended FPOP to live cells (IC-FPOP) using multiple cell lines and in vivo (IV-FPOP) using C. elegans. These innovations allow proteins to be studied in their native cellular environment. Hydroxyl radicals are generated via the photoloysis of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a signaling molecule that can induce changes to some proteins in the cell limiting the proteins that can be studied by IC-FPOP. Here, we evaluate the sulfate radical anion as a footprinting label in IC-FPOP with sodium persulfate as the precursor. Our findings show a 1.5-fold increase in the number of modified proteins compared to IC-FPOP using hydroxyl radicals at the same precursor concentration demonstrating the amenability of this radical with IC-FPOP.We introduce a novel grafting-through polymerization strategy to synthesize dynamic bottlebrush polymers and elastomers in one step using light to construct a disulfide-containing backbone. The key starting material-α-lipoic acid (LA)-is commercially available, inexpensive, and biocompatible. When installed on the chain end(s) of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), the cyclic disulfide unit derived from LA polymerizes under ultraviolet (UV) light in ambient conditions. Significantly, no additives such as initiator, solvent, or catalyst are required for efficient gelation. Formulations that include bis-LA-functionalized cross-linker yield bottlebrush elastomers with high gel fractions (83-98%) and tunable, supersoft shear moduli in the ∼20-200 kPa range. An added advantage of these materials is the dynamic disulfide bonds along each bottlebrush backbone, which allow for light-mediated self-healing and on-demand chemical degradation. These results highlight the potential of simple and scalable synthetic routes to generate unique bottlebrush poly
