SNAP-tag® and CLIP-tag™ Substrate Selection Chart

NEB® offers a large selection of fluorescent labels (substrates) for SNAP- and CLIP-tag fusion proteins. SNAP-tag® substrates consist of a fluorophore conjugated to guanine or chloropyrimidine leaving groups via a benzyl linker, while CLIP-tag™ substrates consist of a fluorophore conjugated to a cytosine leaving group via a benzyl linker. These substrates will label their respective tags without the need for additional enzymes. Cell-permeable substrates (SNAP-Cell® and CLIP-Cell™) are suitable for both intracellular and cell-surface labeling, whereas non-cell-permeable substrates (SNAP-Surface® and CLIP-Surface™) are specific for fusion proteins expressed on the cell surface only.
