Methyltetrazine-PEG4-NHS Ester

Tetrazine-PEG4-NHS ester is an amine-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
  • Primary amine reactivity – modify amine-containing molecules with tetrazine moiety for use in advanced crosslinking experiments
  • Highly stable – tetrazine functional group remains stable in aqueous buffered media (weeks at 4C, pH 7.5)
  • Extended PEG4 Spacer – reduces aggregation, minimizes steric hindrance, and enhances solubility

Tetrazine-PEG4-NHS ester reacts specifically and efficiently with a primary amine (e.g., side chain of lysine residues or aminosilane-coated surfaces) at pH 7-9 to form a covalent bond. 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.
