Puromycin conjugates for in vitro and in vivo labeling of proteins
![]() |
Traditionally, the protein(s) under investigation need to be expressed, purified and subsequently labeled by chemical methods which is often time consuming and cumbersome.
A new and significantly faster approach, using biotin- and dye-labeled puromycin conjugates, can be applied to in vitro (using established cell free expression systems)[6-7] as well as in vivo labeling (protein expression in cells)[8].
A labeled puromycin analog is incorporated into the C-terminus during protein synthesis on the ribosome to yield the corresponding labeled full-length protein. The synchronization of protein expression and labeling will eliminate the need for subsequent protein purification and chemical labeling.
