N-TCO-L-lysine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
N-TCO-L-lysine is a non-canonical amino acid. N-TCO-L-lysine contains a trans-cyclooctene (TCO) bioorthogonal reactive linker. N-TCO-L-lysine undergoes a bioorthogonal click reaction with SiR-Tz to enable fluorescent labeling of endogenously expressed proteins with site-specific incorporation. When used in combination with SiR-Tz, N-TCO-L-lysine allows super-resolution and live-cell imaging of endogenous proteins.

Biological Activity
Guidelines (The following is our recommended protocol, which serves only as a guideline and should be modified according to your specific needs).
1.1 Preparation of Stock Solution[1]
Prepare a 250 mM N-TCO-L-lysine solution as the stock solution.
1.2 Preparation of Working Solution
Dilute the 250 mM N-TCO-L-lysine solution 1000-fold with McCoy’s 5a medium.
1.3 Experimental Procedures
1) Add the N-TCO-L-lysine working solution to cells to reach a final concentration of 250 μM.
2) Culture the cells at 37 °C under 5% CO2 for 48 hours, followed by washing with fresh medium. To remove excess N-TCO-L-lysine, wash the cells three times with fresh medium (1 hour each time).
3) Then incubate the cells with a tetrazine dye (5 μM) diluted in fresh medium at 37 °C under 5% CO2 for 10 minutes.
4) After labeling, wash the cells twice with fresh medium, then continue culturing them at 37 °C under 5% CO2 for 2-3 hours.
5) Image the resulting live cells using a confocal laser scanning microscope.
