5. Phosphines and azides react to form azaylide intermediate 1. In the classic Staudinger reduction, pathway (a), the aza-ylide decomposes in the presence of water to afford a phosphine oxide and amine products. In the Staudinger ligation, pathway (b), the aza-ylide rearranges to form an amide bond and the corresponding phosphine oxide, while an alcohol is extruded.

In Figure 2, Part (C) is a schematic depicting the strategy employed for imaging membrane-associated glycans in developing zebrafish. In the first step, zebrafish embryos are metabolically labeled with the azidosugar Ac4GalNAz to install azides into cell-surface mucin-type O-glycans, and, in the second step, the azide-labeled glycans are detected by reaction with a DIFO-fluorophore conjugate. Time-resolved populations of glycans can be visualized by an additional sequence of metabolic labeling and copper-free click chemistry using a spectrally distinct DIFO-fluorophore conjugate. Parts (D-H): Brightfield (D) and fluorescence (E-H) images of 3-day-old zebrafish embryos labeled as described in (C), with one hour of metabolic labeling in between the two copper-free click reactions. Part (E) Olfactory pit; (F-H) jaw epithelium. The red areas represent "old" glycans labeled with DIFO-647; the green areas represent "new" glycans labeled with DIFO-488.

Target proteins (shown in purple in Figure 3)-engineered to contain a short lipoate acceptor peptide at one terminus-are site-specifically labeled with an azido lipoic acid analogue by the action of lipoic acid ligase (LplA). In a second step, the azide-labeled protein is detected by copper-free click chemistry using a cyclooctyne-fluorophore conjugate.

In Figure 4, azido- and cyclooctyne-containing analogues of pantetheine are chemoenzymatically appended onto separate NRPS polypeptide chains in place of the natural cofactor. Upon mixing of the two labeled NRPS polypeptides, a protein-protein interaction between communication-mediating (COM) domains (shown in green) brings the azide and cyclooctyne in proximity. The resultant triazole formation, which only occurs in the presence of a cognate COM domain pair, can be detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

In Figure 5, mixing of soluble tetraazido star polymers (red) and biscyclooctyne- containing cross-linkers (blue) causes the formation of a 3D gel network (triazole linkages are shown in purple). The use of different star polymers and cross-linkers enables the modulation of gel properties (e.g., solubility, ability to be degraded by UV light, ability to be further functionalized post-gelation with imaging agents, drugs, or other probes). Incorporation of different cyclooctynes into the cross-linker (e.g., MOFO vs DIFO) allows for the tuning of gelation kinetics. See also reference 48.
