We report a new positively charged azidoamino acid for strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) applications that overcomes possible solubility limitations of commonly used azidolysine, especially in systems with numerous ligation sites. The residue is easily synthesized, is compatible with Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis employing a range of coupling conditions, and offers efficient second-order rate constants in SPAAC ligations employing DBCO (0.34 M s) and BCN (0.28 M s).

Owing to its hydrophobic properties and reactivity, triarylphosphines (PAr ) are promising precursors for the development of new amphiphiles. However, an efficient and reliable synthetic method for amphiphiles based on highly hydrophobic PAr is still required. Herein, a straightforward transformation of highly hydrophobic PAr into amphiphiles via the Staudinger reaction is reported.

Droplet-based microfluidics is leading the development of miniaturized, rapid, and sensitive version of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), a central method for protein detection. These assays involve the use of a functionalized surface able to selectively capture the desired analyte. Using the droplet's oil water interface as a capture surface requires designing custom-perfluorinated fluorosurfactants bearing azide-containing polar groups, which spontaneously react when forming the droplet with strain-alkyne-functionalized antibodies solubilized in the aqueous phase.

Mechanically tunable hydrogels are attractive platforms for 3D cell culture, as hydrogel stiffness plays an important role in cell behavior. Traditionally, hydrogel stiffness has been controlled through altering either the polymer concentration or the stoichiometry between crosslinker reactive groups. Here, an alternative strategy based upon tuning the hydrophilicity of an elastin-like protein (ELP) is presented.

Block copolymers (BCPs) that can self-assemble into particles and be triggered by disease-specific molecules such as hydrogen sulfide (HS) have the potential to impact on drug delivery, decreasing off-target toxicities while increasing drug efficacy. However, the incorporation of HS-responsive aryl azides into BCPs for self-assembly has been limited by heat, light, and radical sensitivities. In this study, a robust activator regenerated by the electron-transfer atom-transfer radical polymerization reaction was used to synthesize aryl-azide-containing BCPs under ambient conditions.
