BCN Linkers

The advent of bioorthogonal chemical biology tools for imaging and tracking of biomolecules (proteins, lipids, glycans) in their native environment is providing unique insights into cellular processes that are not achievable with traditional biochemical or molecular biology tools. Metal-free click chemistry between strain-promoted alkyne, so called cyclooctynes, with azide (SPAAC), tetrazines or nitrones (SPANC) have been widely applied in this field. Among the cyclooctynes reported, bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN) displays excellent reaction kinetics and better solubility. Conju-Probe has many BCN Linkers with a large variety of functional groups to meet your research needs.
