Post-biotinylation of photocrosslinking by Staudinger-Bertozzi ligation of preinstalled alkylazide tag.

Small gold nanoparticles for interfacial Staudinger-Bertozzi ligation.

Small gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that possess interfacial methyl-2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoate moieties have been successfully synthesized (Staudinger-AuNPs) and characterized by multi-nuclear MR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In particular, XPS was remarkably sensitive for charac...

Probing mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in living animals.

Changes in O-linked protein glycosylation are known to correlate with disease states but are difficult to monitor in a physiological setting because of a lack of experimental tools. Here, we report a technique for rapid profiling of O-linked glycoproteins in living animals by metabolic labeling with N-azidoacetylgalactosamine (GalNAz) followed by Staudinger ligation with phosphine probes. After...

A FRET-based fluorogenic phosphine for live-cell imaging with the Staudinger ligation.

DNA Conjugation by the Staudinger Ligation: New Thymidine Analogues

Two novel modified 2'-deoxyuridine triphosphates carrying an azide functionality linked to the nucleobase were synthesized. For probing the sterical influence on enzymatic incorporation and Staudinger ligation, differently sized flexible linkers were chosen. Both nucleotides can completely replace natural thymidine in primer extension as well as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using Pyrococcus ...

DNA conjugation by Staudinger ligation.

Two 5 modified 2'-deoxyuridin triphosphates and a 7 modified 2'-deoxy-7-deazaadenosine were synthesized carrying a terminal azide linked to the base. For probing the sterical influence on incorporation and Staudinger ligation different sized flexible linkers were chosen. All three nucleotides can completely replace their natural counterparts in primer extension as well as polymerase chain react...
