ncAA Utility
An amino acid that contains a 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-butyl group that can be used for bioorthogonal, click-chemistry reactions (bioconjugation) when reacted with strained trans-cyclooctenes (which can themselves be bound to various moieties such as PEG linkers, fluorophores, spin labels, etc.) either in vivo for eukaryotic systems or in vitro.
