A novel ligand (6) for copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) in bioconjugation has been developed. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments indicate that 6 is more efficient and less cytotoxic than the canonical CuAAC ligands. Besides, 6 is easily accessible and can be prepared at gram scale. Our study reveals that 6 might be an ideal CuAAC ligand for bioconjugations.

Since its conceptualization, click chemistry in all its variants has proven to be a superior synthesis protocol, compared to conventional methods, for forming new covalent bonds under mild conditions, orthogonally, and with high yields. If a term like reactive resilience could be established, click reactions would be good examples, as they perform better under increasingly challenging conditions. Particularly, highly hindered couplings that perform poorly with conventional chemistry protocols-such as those used to conjugate biomacromolecules (e.

A collagen-inspired helical protein-mimic has been synthesized via topochemical polymerization of a designed tripeptide monomer. In the monomer crystal, molecules arrange in a head-to-tail manner, forming supramolecular helices. The azide and alkyne of adjacent molecules in the supramolecular helix are proximally preorganized in a ready-to-react arrangement.

Small-molecule fluorophores are invaluable tools for fluorescence imaging. However, means for their covalent conjugation to the target proteins limit applications in multicolor imaging. Here, we identify 2-[(alkylhio)(ryl)ethylene]alononitrile (TAMM) molecules reacting with 1,2-aminothiol at a labeling rate over 10 M s through detailed mechanistic investigation.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold promise in heterogeneous metal catalysis benefiting from their robust, crystalline, and porous structures. However, synthetic challenges persist in prolonged crystallization times, limited metal loading, and uncertain coordination environments. Here, we present the rapid crystallization and versatile metalation of new acetylhydrazone-linked COFs (AH-COFs) by condensation of ketone and hydrazide components, featuring full conversion within 30 min under open-air and mild conditions.

Metal mediated several organic reactions are known which can be used inside the cellular medium for protein modifications, eventually for targeting diseases. Indeed, due to their ease of handling, rapid solubility, and effective cell penetration, metals are superior than any other competitor as a stimulus/mediator in organic reactions relevant with protein modifications. Metal mediated most effective reactions as a chemical biology tool are Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition(CuAAC)/click reactions or Pd mediated multiple chemical reactions for intra/extra cellular protein modifications etc.
