39 Keep the mixture at room temperature for 8 hours. Quench with 250 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8) to passivate any unreacted SCNE. 8 Bioorthogonal Reactions The selective conjugation or derivatization of biomolecules has long been a significant barrier due to the vast array of functionality present in biological milieu. Many side reactions and nonspecific labeling are unavoidable. The vast complexity of the cellular systems renders the study of biomolecules in their native environments very challenging.
Aldehydes will react with hydrazides and amines at pH 5–7 to form hydrazone and imine linkages respectively. Imine linkage can be subsequently reduced by NaBH3 CN to the more stable amine bond. The reaction with hydrazides is typically faster than with amines, rendering them vital for site-specific cross-linking. 34). Glutaraldehyde’s popularity is mainly due to its commercial availability, low cost, high reactivity, and thermally and chemically stable cross-links [217]. In this case also, the twostep experimental protocol is more efficient than the singlestep bioconjugation method [216].
Note: The general precaution for amine conjugation is to avoid buffers containing amines such as Tris or glycine. Coupling through thiol (sulfhydryl) groups is advantageous since it can be site directed, allow for sequential coupling and yield cleavable products. Usually, a protein in a complex mixture can be specifically labeled if it is the only one with a free thiol group on its surface. 4 for more details). 5) to afford stable irreversible thioether linkages. Maleimides are unreactive toward tyrosine, histidine, or methionine residues.
