A photoreactive analogue of coelenteramide (light emitting species in aequorin bioluminescence) has been synthesized for photoaffinity labeling studies of aequorin. Photolysis of this compound in methanol gave a formal OH insertion product in 62% yield without damage of the main skeleton of coelenteramide, indicating a potential use for mapping the coelenterazine binding site in aequorin.
