Synthesis of photoreactive phosphatidylethanolamine and its interaction with phospholipase A2.

A photoreactive derivative of phosphatidylethanolamine, N-(4-azidobenzoyl)phosphatidylethanolamine (AB-PE), was synthesized by acylation of phosphatidylethanolamine with an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of 4-azidobenzoic acid. The substantial photosensitivity exhibited by AB-PE correlated with a marked...
