Biochem Physiol Actions
5-Fluoro-DL-tryptophan (5-F-TRP), a fluorine-containing analogue of tryptophan, may be incorporated into proteins such as cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) from Escherichia coli to study changes in ligand binding. 5-F-TRP may be used as an internal reference for chromatographic analysis of tryptophan and its derivatives found in whole blood.
