TCO* for single-molecule super-resolution imaging
Gerti Beliu et al. from the University of Würzburg use SiChem’s unnatural amino acid Trans-Cyclooct-2-en-L-Lysine (TCO*A; SC-8008 labelled with tetrazine dyes) for dSTORM experiments. A complete labelling and imaging pipeline has been developed to visualize transmembrane proteins in living neurons.
