Description
DBCO-amine TFA salt is a fundamental building block comprising a DBCO moiety and an amine group, conveniently presented as a trifluoroacetate (TFA) salt. This versatile reagent enables the facile derivatization of carboxyl groups or activated esters, such as the NHS ester, via- stable amide bond formation in the presence of activators like EDC or HATU. Renowned for its bioorthogonal reactivity, DBCO facilitates efficient and specific labeling through copper-free Click Chemistry reactions, making DBCO-amine TFA salt a valuable tool for various bioconjugation applications.
Applications
DBCO-amine TFA salt can be used in bioconjugation studies and the synthesis of functionalized biomolecules. Its amine functionality enables conjugation with carboxyl-containing molecules or activated esters, allowing for the modification of peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. By utilizing the bioorthogonal reactivity of DBCO, DBCO-amine TFA salt enables the selective labeling of biomolecules with azide-bearing compounds under mild conditions, without the need for copper catalysts.
