Photosensitive tyrosine analogues unravel site-dependent phosphorylation in TrkA initiated MAPK/ERK signaling

Using genetic code expansion, Zhao, Shi et al. generate light-sensitive tyrosine analogues to obtain insights into the activation of the NGF receptor, TrkA. They identify light-sensitive and NGF-insensitive phosphorylation sites, validating the approach and providing insights into TrkA signaling
