Thiophosphoro alkyne dichloridate (TPAC) is a highly reactive phosphorothioate reagent designed for chemoselective histidine bioconjugation. The molecule contains two electrophilic P—Cl bonds and a terminal alkyne handle, enabling direct covalent modification of histidine residues in native proteins followed by bioorthogonal functionalization.
The reagent selectively targets the imidazole side chain of histidine under near-neutral aqueous conditions, forming a stable phosphorothioimidazolide linkage. Compared to conventional acylating or alkylating reagents, thiophosphoryl dichloridates exhibit a strong preference for histidine over lysine, serine, and tyrosine residues, enabling controlled, site-specific protein modification without global denaturation.
The incorporated terminal alkyne group remains inert during the conjugation step and serves as a versatile handle for subsequent click chemistry (CuAAC) with azide-containing fluorophores, affinity tags, or other functional payloads.
