Cytokinins have well defined structure-function relationships (for example, see [37] indicating that this hormone, like others, binds to specific receptors. In the effort to identify candidate hormone receptors, a number of laboratories have searched for cytokinin binding proteins (CBPs) (see [6]). Unfortunately, no one has found a CBP that...

Another azidopyridine derivative, l-(2-azido-6-ehloropyrid-4-yl)-3-phenylurea was used as photoaffinity labeling reagent for cytokinin-binding proteins [112], In the absenee of the 6-ehloro substituent, the tetrazole form was the only existing tautomer. The corresponding compound did not exhibit cytokinin activity and was not photolysable.
