Tide Fluor™ 4 azide
TF4 azide
TF4 is designed to be a superior fluorophore alternative to ROX and Texas Red®. TF4 has (a). stronger fluorescence intensity; (b). higher conjugation yield; and (c). longer shelf life. Additionally their fluorescence is pH-independent from pH 3 to 11. These characteristics make this new dye family a superior alternative to ROX and Texas Red®. In pairing with our Tide Quencher™ 4 (TQ4), a variety of FRET peptides and nucleotides can be developed for detecting proteases and molecular beacons with enhanced sensitivity and stability. This TF4 product is reactive to alkynes, and useful for click chemistry.
<p>Click chemistry is a method for attaching a&nbsp;probe&nbsp;or&nbsp;substrate&nbsp;of interest to a specific biomolecule, a process called&nbsp;bioconjugation. The possibility of attaching&nbsp;fluorophores&nbsp;and other&nbsp;reporter molecules&nbsp;has made click chemistry a very powerful tool for identifying, locating, and characterizing both old and new biomolecules. The classic click reaction is the copper-catalyzed reaction of an&nbsp;azide&nbsp;with an&nbsp;alkyne&nbsp;to form a 5-membered&nbsp;heteroatom&nbsp;ring, this reaction is commonly called Cu(I)-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne&nbsp;Cycloaddition&nbsp;(CuAAC).</p>
