TCO-PEG2-acid is a click chemistry linker containing a TCO (trans-cycloctene) and a terminal carboxylic acid. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators such as EDC. TCO reagent is highly reactive with tetrazine in an inverse electron demand Diels Alder (IEDDA) reaction followed by a retro-DA reaction. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. The half-life of TCO is short as it will naturally isomerize into CCO (cis-cycloctene) and lose the reactivity. TCO compound is not recommended for long term storage.
