The inverse electron demand Diels-Alder pyridazine elimination reaction between tetrazines and allylic substituted trans-cyclooctenes (TCOs) is a key player in bioorthogonal bond cleavage reactions. Determining the rate of elimination of alkylamine substrates has so far proven difficult. Here, we report a fluorogenic tool consisting of a TCO-linked EDANS fluorophore and a DABCYL quencher for accurate determination of both the click and release rate constants for any tetrazine at physiologically relevant concentrations.
四嗪与烯丙基取代的反式环辛烯(TCO)之间的逆电子需求 Diels-Alder 嘧啶消除反应是生物正交键断裂反应中的关键因素。迄今为止,确定烷基胺底物的消除速率一直很困难。在这里,我们报告了一种包含 TCO 连接的 EDANS 荧光团和 DABCYL 猝灭剂的荧光探针,可用于在生理相关浓度下准确测定任何四嗪的点击和释放速率常数。
