AF 555 DBCO

Description

Dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO, DBCO, ADIBO) is one of the most reactive cycloalkynes for copper-free click reaction (SPAAC, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition). The rate of interaction of DBCO with azides is significantly higher than that of other cyclooctynes, as well as Cu-catalyzed click reaction (CuAAC). Unlike other cyclooctynes, DBCO does not interact with tetrazines, which makes it possible to use it in bioorthogonal reactions together with trans-cyclooctenes and tetrazines.

AF 555 is a hydrophilic fluorophore with high fluorescence quantum yield and high photostability, an alternative to tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA, TMR) or Cyanine3 dyes.

AF 555 DBCO allows fluorescent labeling of azide-containing biomolecules inside living cells, whole organisms, and inanimate samples.
