Methyl palmitoleate

BDP FL-PEG3-Methyltetrazine is a BDP dye linker containing a methyltetrazine group and a hydrophilic PEG spacer arm. Methyltetrazine is reactive toward trans-cyclooctenes. The additional methyl on the methyltetrazine enhances the stability of the group. The hydrophilic PEG spacer arm increases water solubility, membrane permability, and conjugation efficiency. This dye is used for protein and peptide labeing and is photostable. BDP FL-PEG3-Methyltetrazine is a green-fluorescent dye and has several characteristics that make it potentially superior in some applications, including high extinction coefficient, high fluorescence quantum yield, narrow emission bandwidth, red shift in fluorescence emission at high dye concentrations, relatively long excited-state lifetime, etc. Reagent grade, for research purpose.
