Farnesylpyrophosphate (FPP) is involved in a large number of cellular processes including the prenylation of transforming mutants of Ras proteins implicated in cancer. Photoactive analogs could provide useful information about enzyme active sites that bind farnesylpyrophosphate; however, the availability of such compounds is extremely limited. Molecules that incorporate benzophenone moieties are
