Methyltetrazine-PEG4-Maleimide
Tetrazine-PEG4-Maleimide is a mid-length, sulfhydryl-reactive labeling reagent with enhanced water-solubility provided by a PEG4 spacer.
Highlights:
- Biocompatible – click reaction occurs efficiently under mild buffer conditions; requires no accessory reagents such as a copper catalyst or reducing agents (e.g. DTT)
- Chemoselective – tetzines and trans-cyclooctene groups do not react or interfere with other functional groups found in biological samples but conjugate to one another with high efficiency
- Unprecedented kinetics – inverse-electron demand Diels-Alder chemistry is the fastest bioorthogonal ligation available, delivering conjugates within 30 min at 1 mg/mL concentrations
- Sulfhydryl-reactive – maleimide reacts rapidly with reduced cysteines and other molecules that contain reduced thiols (–SH groups), attaching TCO moiety via a stable thioether bond
- Extended PEG4 Spacer – reduces aggregation, minimizes steric hindrance, and enhances solubility
- Highly stable – tetrazine functional group remains stable in aqueous buffered media (weeks at 4C, pH 7.5)
Tetrazine-PEG4-Maleimide enables simple and efficient incorporation of a tetrazine moiety onto antibodies, cysteine-containing peptides and other thiol-containing molecules. The hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer arm imparts water-solubility that is transferred to the labeled molecule, thus reducing aggregation of labeled proteins stored in solution. The PEG spacer arm provides a long and flexible connection that minimizes steric hindrance involved with ligation to complementary TCO-containing molecules.
