Description
Whilst biotin is a highly effective affinity label, fluorescent labels provide a more sensitive, quantitative, and convenient method for visualizing proteins. Trifunctional click chemistry probes that incorporate a ligation handle, a biotin and a fluorophore straightforwardly extended to combine the complementary benefits of both types of label. Dual-label Cy5 Biotin Azide probe can be readily incorporated into alkyne-tagged biomolecules through CuAAC ligation. For example, dual-labeled newly synthesized proteins, glycans, lipids, or DNA/RNA can be readily isolated by affinity purification and visualized by in-gel fluorescence.
