StreptaClick® Precision for Click Chemistry
StreptaClick® Precision — Monovalently Binding Streptavidin for Click Chemistry
Customize StreptaClick® to match your precise requirements. Our product range includes the novel StreptaClick® Precision – 1 Azide molecule, specifically designed for Copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or copper-free Strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) click chemistry. This enables the precise attachment of exactly one molecule, catering to applications requiring a 1:1 ratio of reporter to binder. The azide reactive group provides flexibility to attach your biomolecules via different chemistries, adapting StreptaClick® Precision to complement your assays, target-seeking systems, or production enhancements. Furthermore, StreptaClick® Precision maintains its remarkable biotin-binding capability and effortlessly connects to any biotinylated antibody or protein via its two clustered biotin binding sites in cis-position. The dual binding sites ensure biotin binding is not blocked by bulky molecules such as oligonucleotides.
Possible applications include antibody-oligonucleotide conjugate based methods such as immuno-PCR, immuno-RCA, Proximity Ligation Assay, Proximity Extension Assay as well as others such as prototyping antibody-drug conjugates or targeting antibodies conjugated to delivery systems such as lipid nanoparticles or extracelluar vesicles.
Should you require a greater ratio of reporters per binder we are currently developing StreptaClick® Precision versions with exactly three or seven reactive groups.

StreptaClick® Precision - a cis-divalent streptavidin primed for Click Chemistry
Introducing StreptaClick® Precision – 1 Azide, your ultimate tool for precise protein labeling. Our engineered cis-divalent yet monovalently binding streptavidin features exactly one azide functional group strategically attached with maximum distance from the dual biotin binding sites to minimize the risk of bulky reporter molecules obscuring biotin-streptavidin binding reaction. This offers unparalleled control in your labeling process.
StreptaClick® Precision differs from our previous StreptaClick® Color and StreptaClick® HRP molecules in that it has been redesigned with dual biotin binding sites clustered in cis-position. This design still exhibits monovalent binding properties to antibodies while conserving its native binding affinity to biotin, ensuring unmatched specificity in molecular interactions. In early experiments we observed that monovalent StreptaClick® could have its biotin binding obscured by bulky molecules such as oligonucleotides, a problem that has now been solved with StreptaClick® Precision.

Click Chemistry
How it works
With StreptaClick® Precision, the labeling process becomes seamless.
Easily attach the azide labeled StreptaClick® Precision molecule to your reporter molecule of choice via click chemistry. The azide functionalization enables either Copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or copper-free Strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) click chemistry, ensuring accurate and specific labeling in many different types of experiments. We primarily recommend SPAAC with DBCO- functionalized reporters, but alkyne functionalized reporters also work well.
Achieve high conjugation efficiency
Conjugating reporters to StreptaClick® Precision via CuAAC or SPAAC click chemistry typically results in 90-100% labeling efficiency with only 1.3X excess of reporter to StreptaClick® molecules.

Attach StreptaClick® Precision conjugate to any biotinylated antibody or surface
After the click chemistry reaction, add the newly formed StreptaClick® Precision construct to your biotinylated protein or surface of interest for near immediate conjugation. We also have a convenient biotinylation kit available for purchase, BiotinPureTM, if you lack access to biotinylated antibodies.
This innovation grants you exquisite control over labeling positions and ratios, enabling detailed exploration of protein behaviors, interactions, and localization.
The image below shows an example of a fresh frozen mouse spleen tissue in which StreptaClick® Precision – 1 Oligo bound to an anti B220 biotinylated antibody from Biolegend interacts with B220 proteins on B-lymphocytes. The interaction is visualized via immunofluorescence imaging by hybridization of an antisense oligo with a 647nm fluorochrome to StreptaClick® Precision – 1 Oligo. Other possible readouts for antibody-oligonucleotide conjugate based methods include q-PCR and DNA sequencing.
