Click Reagents by Application

Click Chemistry[1] describes pairs of functional groups that rapidly and selectively react ("click") with each other under mild, aqueous conditions. The concept of Click Chemistry has been transformed into convenient, versatile and reliable two-step coupling procedures of two molecules A and B[1-5] that are widely used in biosciences[6-8], drug discovery[9] and material science[10].

Advantages of Click Chemistry:

  • Highly selective, low background labeling:
    CLICK-functional groups are inert to naturally occurring functional groups ("bioorthogonal") such as amines
  • Rapid and quantitative labeling
  • Allows non-radioactive analysis of enzymatic activities both in vitro and in vivo:
    Small-sized CLICK functional groups possess excellent substrate properties
