4′-Aminomethyl-4,5′,8-trimethylpsoralen is a bifunctional photoreactive agent for crosslinking nucleic acids.{28101,28103} In the dark, it intercalates into double-stranded regions in DNA or RNA. Upon long wavelength UV irradiation (e.g., 365 nm), 4′-aminomethyl-4,5′,8-trimethylpsoralen first forms a covalent monoadduct with a pyrimidine base, followed by covalently linking with an adjacent pyrimidine on the opposite strand.{28101,28103} Short wavelength UV irradiation (e.g., 254 nm) reverses this reaction. 4′-Aminomethyl-4,5′,8-trimethylpsoralen has a high binding affinity for RNA and has been used to study different types of RNA from diverse organisms, including viruses.{28099,28100,28102}
