TBTA (tris(benzyltriazolylmethyl)amine) is a tertiary amine containing a 1,2,3-triazole group[1]. TBTA complexes with copper(I) and promotes click reaction catalysis by stabilizing the copper(I) oxidation state[2]. TBTA is one of the most widely used water-insoluble ligands in copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC)[3].
Click chemistry is a versatile reaction that can be used for the synthesis of a variety of conjugates. Virtually any biomolecule can be easily labeled with small molecules, such as fluorescent dyes, biotin, etc using the click chemistry method.
Click chemistry reaction takes place between two components: azide and alkyne (terminal acetylene). Both azido and alkyne groups are nearly never encountered in natural biomolecules. Hence, the reaction is highly bioorthogonal and specific.

2. Dissolve alkyne-modified oligonucleotide or DNA in water in a pressure-tight vial.
3. Add 2M triethylammonium acetate buffer, pH 7.0, to final concentration 0.2 M.
4. Add DMSO, and vortex.
5. Add azide stock solution (10 mM in DMSO), and vortex.
6. Add the required volume of 5mM Ascorbic Acid Stock solution to the mixture, and vortex briefly.
7. Degass the solution by bubbling inert gas in it for 30 seconds. Nitrogen, argon, or helium can be used.
8. Add the required amount of 10 mM Copper (II)-TBTA Stock in 55% DMSO to the mixture. Flush the vial with inert gas and close the cap.
9. Vortex the mixture thoroughly. If significant precipitation of azide is observed, heat the vial for 3 minutes at 80°C, and vortex.
10. Keep at room temperature overnight.
11. Precipitate the conjugate with acetone (for oligonucleotides) or with ethanol (for DNA). Mix thoroughly and keep at −20 °C for 20 minutes.
To precipitate an oligonucleotide conjugate: add to the mixture at least a 4-fold excess volume of 3% lithium perchlorate in acetone (if the volume of the mixture is large, split in several vials).
To precipitate a DNA conjugate: add to the mixture sodium acetate to a final concentration of 0.3M; add 2.5 volumes of ethanol (or 0.8 volumes of isopropanol).
12. Centrifuge at 10000 rpm for 10 minutes.
13. Discard the supernatant. Wash the pellet with acetone (1 mL), centrifuge at 10000 rpm for 10 minutes.
14. Discard the supernatant, dry the pellet, and purify the conjugate by RP-HPLC or PAGE.

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
