Site-specific one-pot triple click labeling for DNA and RNA

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Oct 16;54(83):11781-11784. doi: 10.1039/c8cc04520h.

Abstract

We report site-specific triple click labeling for DNA and RNA in a one-pot setup by performing inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction and strain-promoted and copper catalyzed click reactions sequentially. Our methodology can be applied to long and short nucleic acids alike, and could have broader potential for labeling other (bio-)molecules.
