Abstract
N-(3-Iodopropyl)isatoic anhydride (IPIA) has been demonstrated to serve as an efficient substrate for the development of an extended bioconjugation platform. Derivatives of IPIA are water-soluble and adaptable and share a common chromophore, rendering them easily quantifiable. We demonstrate the preparation of the readily diversified bioconjugation platform technology and application of the reagents in RNA-SHAPE analysis.
