Abstract

(Figure Presented) Reactive but biologically inert: The bioorthogonal title reaction enables highly specific chemical modifications, such as lipidation, of engineered proteins containing a diphenyltetrazole group (see scheme). The cycloaddition in biological media is extremely fast (≤1 min) and tolerant of proteinaceous groups. Strongly fluorescent pyrazoline cycloadducts are generated with simple alkenes.
