PTAD-Alkyne 97%

PTAD-Alkyne is a selective bioconjugation reagent for the modification of tyrosine residues with a terminal alkyne. Subsequent modification can then be afforded via the copper catalyzed azide/alkyne click chemistry reaction with an azide containing compound or biomolecule. This reagent has been shown to selectively introduce poly(ethylene glycol) or PEG chains onto proteins with surface exposed tyrosine residues. PTAD-Alkyne has also been used in the formation of antibody-drug conjugates. This reagent is compatible with different buffer systems such as PBS, Tris and mixed PBS/Tris buffer (preferred). The linkage with tyrosine has been shown to be stable to pH and temperature extremes as well as blood plasma.
