Amino-11-dCTP (Amino-11-2′-deoxycytidine-5′-triphosphate) is a modified nucleotide used for labeling and modification in molecular biology. It features an amino group attached to the cytidine through an 11-atom linker. This allows easy attachment of labels like fluorescent dyes or biotin.
Key Features:
- Amine Group: The amino group makes it simple to attach different labels for detection or modification.
- Spacer Arm: The 11-atom linker keeps the label away from the nucleotide, reducing interference during reactions.
Applications:
- Incorporates into DNA during synthesis or amplification.
- Ideal for labeling DNA with various tags like fluorescent dyes or biotin.
- Works well in PCR, DNA hybridization, and sequencing.
Typical Usage:
- DNA Labeling: Amino-11-dCTP adds labels during DNA synthesis for easy detection.
- Conjugation: The amino group enables quick attachment of labels like biotin or dyes.
This product is perfect for labeling DNA in experiments that need clear detection or tracking.
