[g32P]GTPgAA is a nonhydrolyzable GTP analog which has a phenyl azide group substituted off the gamma phosphate. [g32P]GTPgAA has been reported to be useful for the study G-proteins (see G-Protein Methods, ALT Tech Brief 1 and 2511428). With these two structural photoaffinity isomers of GTP, it is possible to completely map out both the guanine base binding portion as well as the triphosphate binding domain of the active site of virtually any GTP binding protein. The active site site peptides of a protein can be easily determined using a combination of photoaffinity labeling, proteolytic digestion, immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) followed by reverse phase HPLC (see 8106359, 8439545).
