Popis: Dynorphin A derivatives containing S-(3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl)-cysteine(Cys(Npys)) were designed and synthesized for affinity labeling of kappa opioid receptors. Derivatives with Cys(Npys) residue at the 8 position were highly potent and specific to kappa receptors and bound to receptors through disulfide bond formation.
