Tetrazine-SSPy is a cleavable heterobifunctional linker designed for advanced bioconjugation. It combines a methyltetrazine moiety, ideal for inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reactions, with an activated thiol for forming disulfide bonds. This innovative linker is fast, selective, and highly compatible with complex biological systems, making it perfect for cutting-edge research and therapeutic applications.
