Description
TCO-amino-tri-(acid-ethoxymethyl) is a compound featuring a TCO (trans-cyclooctene) group, amino functionalities, and three acid-ethoxymethyl moieties. The TCO group enables bioorthogonal chemistry for specific labeling and conjugation applications.
Applications
TCO-amino-tri-(acid-ethoxymethyl) can be used in bioconjugation reactions, particularly in the context of click chemistry. The TCO group facilitates rapid and selective reactions with tetrazine or strained alkene partners, enabling site-specific labeling of biomolecules or surface modification of substrates. Additionally, the amino groups offer versatility for further functionalization, while the acid-ethoxymethyl groups provide protection during synthesis and can be selectively cleaved under mild conditions for subsequent modifications.
