BC-GLA-NHS

BC-GLA-NHS (CLIP-GLA-NHS) is a NHS-labeled CLIP tag, which is an amine-reactive crosslinker and can achieve site-specific protein labeling. The NHS ester of BC-GLA-NHS reacts with the primary amine of the target molecule (such as antibodies, quantum dots) in a pH 7.5-8.5 buffer solution to form a stable amide bond. After coupling, the BC molecule undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction with the active site (Cys) of the CLIP-tagged fusion protein, releasing benzylcytosine and forming an irreversible thioether bond, achieving covalent labeling. BC-GLA-NHS can be used for click chemistry labeling[1].
