CP-SiR

SNAP-tag is a self-labeling protein derived from human O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase. At 20 kDa, SNAP-tag is smaller than HaloTag (33 kDa), potentially reducing interference with the tagged protein’s function. SNAP-tag reacts with covalently with benzylguanine (BG)or chloropyrimidine (CP) derivatives, forming a stable thioether bonds that ensures durability for long-term experiments or harsh conditions. SNAP-tag can be used alongside other tags like CLIP-tag for multicolor labeling. Chloropyrimidine (CP) derivatives generally exhibit better cell permeability compared to their benzylguanine (BG) derivatives. CP-SiR is a SNAP-tag substrate containg SiR dye. It forms a covalent bond with the SNAP-tag protein, ensuring stable labeling for long-term tracking. The SiR dye (short for Silicon Rhodamine dye, 643Ex/662Em) offers several advantages, including high photostability, far-red fluorescence, and cell permeability, making it ideal for live-cell imaging and long-term studies. This enables researchers to visualize and track proteins or other cellular structures with minimal background interference.
