TCO-PEG3-Maleimide
Trans-Cyclooctene (TCO)-PEG3-Maleimide is a mid-length, sulfhydryl-reactive labeling reagent containing a 3-unit polyethylene glycol spacer arm for increased water-solubility.
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 the TCO moiety via a stable thioether bond
- Highly stable – TCO functional group remains stable in aqueous buffered media (weeks at 4C, pH 7.5)
- Extended PEG3 Spacer – reduces aggregation, minimizes steric hindrance, and enhances solubility
TCO-PEG3-Maleimide enables simple and efficient incorporation of TCO 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 tetrazine-containing molecules.
