What Does PAM Stand For?

PAM stands for Photolabile Attachment Molecules

Photolabile Attachment Molecules (PAM) are specialized chemical entities designed to form stable covalent bonds with target biomolecules under specific conditions. These molecules can be cleaved by light exposure, allowing for controlled release and manipulation of attached compounds in biological systems. PAMs are particularly useful in areas such as drug delivery, biomolecular labeling, and the study of dynamic interactions in cellular processes. Their ability to facilitate precise spatial and temporal control makes them valuable tools in research and therapeutic applications.
