Notes: L-Homopropargyl glycine is a reactive methionine analog that contains an alkyne moiety. It is readily inserted into newly-synthesized proteins in place of methionine.{28085,28082,28083} L-Homopropargyl glycine can then be labeled or captured through click chemistry.{28082,28084} This approach represents a fast, sensitive, and non-radioactive alternative to [35S]-methionine for the detection of nascent protein synthesis.
