3rd Generation Click Chemistry: Tetrazine and TCO Derivatives for Copper-free Conjugation

The reaction between a tetrazine (Tz) and a trans-cyclooctene (TCO) is the innovative third generation Click reaction that proceeds without the use of copper or other catalyst. It is rapid, fully bioorthogonal and excels at very low concentrations.

Fast and Easy Protease Kinetics with Asymmetric Rhodamine 110 Substrates

Asymmetric Rhodamine 110 protease substrates are used for the determination of protease kinetics. The asymmetric structure of these dyes greatly simplifies the determination of enzyme kinetics, while the properties of Rhodamine 110 facilitate an uncomplicated readout.

THPTA: Ligand-accelerated Click Chemistry in Aqueous Solution

Polytriazole ligands such as THPTA accelerate the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), or “Click”, reaction. Moreover, with the use of further additives, polytriazoles facilitate CuAAC even in live cells by significantly lowering the bioavailability of the copper catalyst.

Markers for the Quality of Food

Maillard Reaction Products (MRPs) result from the reaction of Arg and Lys side chains with reducing carbohydrates. MRPs are valuable markers for food quality and are used in many different branches of industry such as food, pharma, cosmetics and biochemistry.
