Click-electron microscopy for imaging metabolically tagged non-protein biomolecules
EM has long been the main technique for imaging cell structures with nanometer resolution but has lagged behind light microscopy in the crucial ability to make specific molecules stand out. Here we introduce click-EM, a labeling technique for correlative light microscopy and EM imaging of nonprotein biomolecules. In this approach, metabolic labeling substrates containing bioorthogonal functiona...
متن کاملLive-cell stimulated Raman scattering imaging of alkyne-tagged biomolecules.
Alkynes can be metabolically incorporated into biomolecules including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and glycans. In addition to the clickable chemical reactivity, alkynes possess a unique Raman scattering within the Raman-silent region of a cell. Coupling this spectroscopic signature with Raman microscopy yields a new imaging modality beyond fluorescence and label-free microscopies. The bioo...
متن کاملAll-in-One azides: empowered click reaction for in vivo labeling and imaging of biomolecules.
We designed and synthesized All-in-One (AIO) reactive azide reagents for bioorthogonal reactions with highly efficient Cu(I) ligand moieties, an azido group, and functional tags for imaging or purification. The AIO reagents displayed fast and efficient click ligation and can be applied in a wide range of in vivo systems.
متن کاملSequential “Click” – “Photo-Click” Cross-Linker for Catalyst-Free Ligation of Azide-Tagged Substrates
Heterobifunctional linker allows for selective catalyst-free ligation of two different azide-tagged substrates via strained-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC). The linker contains an azadibenzocyclooctyne (ADIBO) moiety on one end and a cyclopropenone-masked dibenzocyclooctyne (photo-DIBO) group on the other. The first azide-derivatized substrate reacts only at the ADIBO end of the lin...
متن کاملNondestructive imaging of individual biomolecules.
Radiation damage is considered to be the major problem that still prevents imaging an individual biological molecule for structural analysis. So far, all known mapping techniques using sufficient short wavelength radiation, be it x rays or high energy electrons, circumvent this problem by averaging over many molecules. Averaging, however, leaves conformational details uncovered. Even the antici...
