Meaningful selected analogues of cyclic AMP are extremely useful for mapping studies of different cAMP receptor proteins in order to get information about the essential corresponding molecular forces and their positions in the cyclic AMP moiety:
Besides important insights in the binding principles of the receptor, the practical results of successful mapping studies include the determination of positions where a spacer for affinity chromatography is tolerated, where fluorescent markers can be attached and which chemical modifications are allowed for potential analogues.
BIOLOG offers so many different analogues of cyclic AMP, that modifications for nearly each position of the second messenger are available.
The following table gives examples for cyclic AMP analogues suitable for mapping studies (Link to corresponding cyclic GMP anlogues).
