Table 1.

Second-order reaction rate constants (k2) of tetrazine ncAAs with sTCO-OH

Tetrazine Amino Acid Reaction Rate (× 104 M−1s−1)
Free amino acid GFP-incorporated (TAG site)
Tet-v3.0Bu 2.1 ± 0.06 7.8 ± 0.30 (N150)
Tet-v4.0Me 1.1 ± 0.14 –––
Tet-v4.0Ph 2.4 ± 0.20 22 ± 1.3 (N150)
20 ± 1.1 (L222)
Tet-v4.0Pyr 8.6 ± 1.2 120 ± 7.3 (N150)

Second-order rate constants (k2) were obtained from plots of measured, pseudo-first order rate constants (k′) against sTCO-OH concentration (see Figures S1 and S6).
