Photoaffinity labeling has been demonstrated to be a remarkably efficient method for studying the interaction of biologically significant compounds (ligands) with their target macromolecules. The method allows identification of the target and also the binding domain within the target protein. An appropriate photoaffinity probe is usually prepared by attachment of a photoreactive labeling group and an indicator such as a biotin tag to the ligand molecule.
