BC-N3

CLIP-tag is a modified version of the SNAP-tag. It is also a self-labeling protein derived from human O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase. Unlike the SNAP-tag, which reacts with benzylguanine (BG)or chloropyrimidine (CP) derivatives, the CLIP-tag is engineered to specifically interact with benzylcytosine (BC)derivatives. This modification allows for distinct labeling applications, enabling researchers to use both SNAP-tag and CLIP-tag in the same experiment, providing flexibility in protein labeling and tracking. BC-N3 is a CLIP-tag substrate containg an azide group for click chemistry applications. In click chemistry, azides are commonly used in azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions, such as the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and the strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC). These reactions are efficient and selective, forming a triazole ring and often used in drug development, molecular biology, and bioconjugation. Product Name BC-N3 Synonyms CL
