Product Description
Tris-NTA is a His-tagged protein ligand that may be utilized to bind His-tagged proteins.
Tris-NTA (862778-60-7) is a high-affinity metal chelator composed of three nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) groups connected by a tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) backbone. It is a His-tagged protein ligand that can be used to bind polyhistidine (His)-tagged proteins with much higher affinity than standard Ni-NTA, enabling purification and immobilization of recombinant proteins.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Target: His-tagged proteins (polyhistidine tag, typically 6xHis or 10xHis). Tris-NTA contains three NTA groups that coordinate Ni2+ ions. When Ni2+ is loaded, Tris-NTA forms a trivalent chelating platform that interacts with the His-tag on recombinant proteins with dramatically increased avidity (picomolar KD) compared to monovalent NTA (micromolar KD). This enables purification, immobilization, and detection of His-tagged proteins.
ln Vitro
His-tagged proteins can be bound by the His-tagged protein ligand Tris-NTA [1][2].
In vitro, Tris-NTA is a His-tagged protein ligand used to bind and capture His-tagged proteins from cell lysates or conditioned media. The compound can be used in affinity chromatography, protein pull-down assays, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors, and protein labeling. It dramatically increases the affinity and selectivity for His-tagged proteins (KD in the picomolar range) compared to monovalent Ni-NTA (KD ∼10-20 uM). No direct pharmacological activity is reported.
ln Vivo
No in vivo studies have been performed with Tris-NTA. This compound is not intended for in vivo administration; it is a biochemical reagent for protein purification and analysis in vitro. It is used exclusively in laboratory research for protein biochemistry and molecular biology applications. No animal studies have been reported.
Enzyme Assay
For cell-free assays (protein purification): Tris-NTA resin or beads are equilibrated with lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 300 mM NaCl, 10 mM imidazole, 0.1% Triton X-100). Cell lysates containing His-tagged protein are added to the resin and incubated for 30-60 min at 4degC with rotation. Beads are washed with wash buffer (20-40 mM imidazole) to remove non-specifically bound proteins. Bound protein is eluted with elution buffer (250-500 mM imidazole, pH 8.0). Purified fractions are analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. For SPR immobilization: Tris-NTA is immobilized on a gold sensor chip via thiol groups, loaded with Ni2+, and used to capture His-tagged proteins for kinetic analysis.
Cell Assay
No cell-based assays are performed with Tris-NTA. This reagent is used for protein purification from cell lysates, not for direct addition to living cells. His-tagged proteins purified using Tris-NTA may be subsequently added to cells for functional studies, but the Tris-NTA reagent itself is not used in cell-based assays.
Animal Protocol
No animal studies are conducted with Tris-NTA. The compound is used exclusively in vitro for protein biochemistry research. It is not administered to animals for efficacy or safety studies. Its use is confined to laboratory bench applications.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
PK properties are not applicable for Tris-NTA, as it is not a drug candidate and is not intended for systemic administration. It is a research reagent used in vitro. No absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion studies have been performed. The compound is for research use only.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data are available for Tris-NTA. As a biochemical reagent used in protein purification, it is not intended for human consumption. The compound contains NTA groups, which can chelate metal ions and may have mild toxicity if ingested. However, no formal toxicity studies have been performed. The compound is for research use only and should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions.

Additional Infomation
Tris-NTA is a research reagent, not a drug. It is not FDA-approved for clinical use. It is widely used in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, and biophysics for purification, immobilization, and analysis of His-tagged recombinant proteins. Applications include affinity chromatography, protein interaction studies (SPR, BLI), protein labeling (fluorescent tags), and biosensor development. The high-affinity Tris-NTA platform enables robust and sensitive detection of His-tagged proteins even in complex biological samples.
