Bioconjugation by Copper(I)-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne [3 + 2] Cycloaddition

Abstract

The copper-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction between azides and alkynes functions efficiently in aqueous solution in the presence of a tris(triazolyl)amine ligand. The process has been employed to make rapid and reliable covalent connections to micromolar concentrations of protein decorated with either of the reactive moieties. The chelating ligand plays a crucial role in stabilizing the Cu(I) oxidation state and protecting the protein from Cu(triazole)-induced denaturation. Because the azide and alkyne groups themselves are unreactive with protein residues or other biomolecules, their ligation is of potential utility as a general bioconjugation method.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
