Description
N-(Methyltetrazine-PEG4)-N-biotin-PEG4-NHS is a specialized biotinylation reagent featuring a branched structure with a terminal NHS ester group and a methyltetrazine moiety. The NHS ester enables selective and efficient conjugation to primary amines on biomolecules, such as lysine residues or N-terminal amino groups, under mild physiological conditions (pH 7-9), forming stable amide bonds.
Applications
N-(Methyltetrazine-PEG4)-N-biotin-PEG4-NHS is an invaluable tool in various bioconjugation applications and chemical biology studies. It can be utilized for site-specific labeling of biomolecules, such as proteins, peptides, or nucleic acids, with biotin tags via- NHS ester chemistry, enabling subsequent detection, purification, or immobilization using streptavidin or avidin-based affinity methods.
