S9233S, CLIP-Surface 547 - 50 nmol

CLIP-Surface™ 547 is a photostable red fluorescent substrate that can be used to label CLIP-tag™ fusion proteins on the surface of living cells or in vitro.

• This is a cell impermeable substrate (BC-547) based on the Dyomics dye DY-547
• It is suitable for use with standard TAMRA or Cy3 filter sets
• It has an excitation maximum at 554 nm and emission maximum at 568 nm

This package includes 50 nmol of CLIP-Surface 547 substrate, sufficient to make 10 ml of a 5 µM CLIP-tag fusion protein labeling solution.

The CLIP-tag protein labeling system enables the specific, covalent attachment of virtually any molecule to a protein of interest. CLIP-tag is a protein tag based on human O⁶-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (hAGT). CLIP-tag substrates are derivatives of benzylcytosine (BC). In the labeling reaction, the substituted benzyl group of the substrate is covalently attached to the reactive cysteine of CLIP-tag forming a stable thioether bond. Although CLIP-tag is based on the same protein as SNAP-tag^®, the benzylcytosine substrates form a separate class of substrates, different from the benzylcytosine substrates form a separate class of substrates, different from the benzylguanine substrates recognized by SNAP-tag. CLIP-tag and SNAP-tag can be used for orthogonal and complementary labeling of two proteins simultaneously in the same cells.
