Dexterity Kits
Dexterity Kits are an easy, all-in-one method to perform high sensitivity proximity labeling for any protein as long as there is a known antibody or small molecule specific for their protein of interest (POI). These protein labeling kits allow you to perform precise micromapping within 4 nm of your POI. Dexterity Kits provide:
- Facile incorporation of small molecules as an amide linkage, either with an amine or acid group
- Short labeling radius
- Benign method of activation (visible light)
- Catalytic signal amplification
