[Description]

  CloverDirect TM tRNA Reagent for Site-Directed Protein Labeling allows the pin-point labeling by fluorescence dyes or biotin at a defined position of protein in E.coli cell-free translation.
  The labeled protein will be produced by just adding CloverDirect TM reagent and the DNA template which is replaced at a particular position with amber stop codon (UAG) to in vitro translation system.



[Features]

Labeling position is decided by an amber codon which is the one of stop codons.
Pin-point labeling allows selection of a labeling position which hardly interferes with protein structure and function in comparison to other methods (e.g., chemical labeling and GFP fusion production).
Labeled aminoacyl-tRNAs are able to choose from three fluorescent dyes (HiLyte Fluor 488, TAMRA, ATTO633) for 488 nm, 543 nm and 633 nm excitation lasers, respectively.
Pin-point fluorescence labeled proteins greatly facilitate analyses in single molecule fluorescence analysis, fluorescence energy transfer (FRET), cell imaging, and other applications.
Pin-point biotin labeled proteins can be used for efficient immobilization by biotin-avidin interaction.
