Abstract
Fluorogenic bioorthogonal reactions enable biomolecule visualization in real time. These reactions comprise reporters that "light up" upon reaction with complementary partners. While the spectrum of fluorogenic chemistries is expanding, few transformations are compatible with live cells due to cross-reactivities or insufficient signal turn-on. To address the need for more suitable chemistries for cellular imaging, we developed a fluorogenic reaction featuring cyclopropenone reporters and phosphines. The transformation involves regioselective activation and cyclization of cyclopropenones to form coumarin products. With optimal probes, the reaction provides >1600-fold signal turn-on, one of the highest fluorescence enhancements reported to date. The bioorthogonal motifs were evaluated in vitro and in cells. The reaction was also found to be compatible with other common fluorogenic transformations, enabling multicomponent, real-time imaging. Collectively, these data suggest that the cyclopropenone-phosphine reaction will bolster efforts to track biomolecule targets in their native settings.

Abstract
A FRET-based fluorescence turn-on probe is designed, which employs a sydnonimine as the linker to match specific fluorophore and quencher pairs and releases the fluorescence after the "click-and-release" reaction. Furthermore, we realized selective fluorescence labeling by exploiting the mutual orthogonality between sydnonimine-DIBAC and tetrazine-1,3-Cp cycloaddition pairs.

Abstract
A series of novel [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4,5]tetrazines has been synthesized through oxidation reaction of the corresponding 3,6-disubstituted 1,2,4,5-tetrazines bearing amidine fragments. It is shown that the heterocyclic systems obtained can be modified easily at C(3) position in the reactions with aliphatic alcohols and amines. Also, the reactivity of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4,5]tetrazines towards CH-active compounds has been studied. The obtained triazolo[1,5-b]annulated 1,2,4,5-tetrazines proved to be active in micromolar concentrations in vitro against filamentous anthropophilic and zooanthropophilic dermatophyte fungi (Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermofiton), which cause skin and its appendages (hair, nails) diseases.

Abstract
Described is the spatiotemporally controlled labeling and patterning of biomolecules in live cells through the catalytic activation of bioorthogonal chemistry with light, referred to as "CABL". Here, an unreactive dihydrotetrazine (DHTz) is photocatalytically oxidized in the intracellular environment by ambient O2 to produce a tetrazine that immediately reacts with a trans-cyclooctene (TCO) dienophile. 6-(2-Pyridyl)dihydrotetrazine-3-carboxamides were developed as stable, cell permeable DHTz reagents that upon oxidation produce the most reactive tetrazines ever used in live cells with Diels-Alder kinetics exceeding k2 of 106 M-1 s-1. CABL photocatalysts are based on fluorescein or silarhodamine dyes with activation at 470 or 660 nm. Strategies for limiting extracellular production of singlet oxygen are described that increase the cytocompatibility of photocatalysis. The HaloTag self-labeling platform was used to introduce DHTz tags to proteins localized in the nucleus, mitochondria, actin, or cytoplasm, and high-yielding subcellular activation and labeling with a TCO-fluorophore were demonstrated. CABL is light-dose dependent, and two-photon excitation promotes CABL at the suborganelle level to selectively pattern live cells under no-wash conditions. CABL was also applied to spatially resolved live-cell labeling of an endogenous protein target by using TIRF microscopy to selectively activate intracellular monoacylglycerol lipase tagged with DHTz-labeled small molecule covalent inhibitor. Beyond spatiotemporally controlled labeling, CABL also improves the efficiency of "ordinary" tetrazine ligations by rescuing the reactivity of commonly used 3-aryl-6-methyltetrazine reporters that become partially reduced to DHTzs inside cells. The spatiotemporal control and fast rates of photoactivation and labeling of CABL should enable a range of biomolecular labeling applications in living systems.

Abstract
An unprecedented intramolecular [4 + 2] tetrazine-olefin cycloaddition with α,β-unsaturated substrates was discovered. The reaction produces unique coumarin-dihydropyridazine heterocycles that exhibited strong fluorescence with large Stokes shifts and excellent photo- and pH-stability. This property can be used for reaction analysis. The rate of cycloaddition was found to be solvent dependent and was determined using experimental data with a kinetic modeling software (COPASI) as well as DFT calculations (k1 = 0.64 ± 0.019 s−1 and 4.1 s−1, respectively). The effects of steric and electronic properties of both the tetrazine and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl on the reaction were studied and followed the known trends characteristic of the intermolecular reaction. Based on these results, we developed a “release-then-click” strategy for the ROS triggered release of methylselenenic acid (MeSeOH) and a fluorescent tracer. This strategy was demonstrated in HeLa cells via fluorescence imaging. Tetrazines rapidly react with tethered acrylates/acrylamides to produce fused coumarin derivatives. This template can be used in prodrug designs by depleting toxic α,β-unsaturated byproducts while also producing an imaging agent.![]()

Abstract
Click chemistry-enabled DNA barcoding of cells provides a universal strategy for sample multiplexing in single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). However, current ClickTags are limited to fixed samples as they only label cells efficiently in methanol. Herein, we report the development of a new protocol for barcoding live cells with improved ClickTags. The optimized reactions barcoded live cells without perturbing their physiological states, which allowed sample multiplexing of live cells in scRNA-seq. The general applicability of this protocol is demonstrated in diversified types of samples, including murine and human primary samples. Up to 16 samples across these two species are successfully multiplexed and demultiplexed with high consistency. The wide applications of this method could help to increase throughput, reduce cost and remove the batch effect in scRNA-seq, which is especially valuable for studying clinical samples from a large cohort. A versatile and highly reproducible approach for live cell sample multiplexing is achieved by DNA barcoding via “click chemistry” in single-cell RNA-seq.![]()

Abstract
Natural products have traditionally been a fruitful source of chemical matter that has been developed into novel therapeutics. Actinomycetes and several other bacterial taxa are especially gifted in biosynthesizing natural products. However, many decades of intense bioactivity-based screening led to a large rediscovery problem, rendering industrial natural product discovery pipelines uneconomical. Numerous methods for circumventing the rediscovery problem have been developed, among them various chemistry-focused strategies, including reactivity-based screening. Emerging from the field of chemical proteomics, reactivity-based screening relies on a reactive probe that chemoselectively modifies a functional group of interest in the context of a complex biological sample. Reactivity-based probes for several distinct functional groups have been deployed to discover new polyketide and peptidic natural products. This chapter describes the protocols to conduct a reactivity-based screening campaign, including bacteria cultivation and screening of cellular extracts with phenylglyoxal-, tetrazine-, thiol-, and aminooxy-functionalized probes, which respectively target primary uriedo, electron-rich olefins, Michael acceptors, and reactive carbonyls. In addition, a recent case study is presented that employs reactivity-based screening as a component of a forward genetics screen to identify a previously unknown peptidyl arginine deiminase. We anticipate that these methods will be useful for those interested in discovering natural products that evade detection by traditional, bioassay-guided methods and others who wish to rapidly connect metabolic chemotype with genotype.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry is a set of methods using the chemistry of non-native functional groups to explore and understand biology in living organisms. In this review, we summarize the most common reactions used in bioorthogonal methods, their relative advantages and disadvantages, and their frequency of occurrence in the published literature. We also briefly discuss some of the less common but potentially useful methods. We then analyze the bioorthogonal-related publications in the CAS Content Collection to determine how often different types of biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, glycans, and lipids have been studied using bioorthogonal chemistry. The most prevalent biological and chemical methods for attaching bioorthogonal functional groups to these biomolecules are elaborated. We also analyze the publication volume related to different types of bioorthogonal applications in the CAS Content Collection. The use of bioorthogonal chemistry for imaging, identifying, and characterizing biomolecules and for delivering drugs to treat disease is discussed at length. Bioorthogonal chemistry for the surface attachment of proteins and in the use of modified carbohydrates is briefly noted. Finally, we summarize the state of the art in bioorthogonal chemistry and its current limitations and promise for its future productive use in chemistry and biology.

Abstract
A series of naphthalimide-tetrazines were developed as bioorthogonal fluorogenic probes, which could produce significant fluorescence enhancement, notable aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characters and multicolor emissions after bioorthogonal reaction with strained dienophiles. Manipulating the π-bridge in the fluorophore skeleton allows fine-tuning of the emission wavelength and influences the AIE-active properties. With these probes, we succeeded in no-wash fluorogenic protein labeling and mitochondria-selective bioorthogonal imaging in live cells.

Abstract
Triazines are an important class of six-membered aromatic heterocycles possessing three nitrogen atoms, resulting in three types of regio-isomers: 1,2,4-triazines (a-triazines), 1,2,3-triazines (v-triazines), and 1,3,5-triazines (s-triazines). Notably, the application of triazines as cyclic aza-dienes in inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) cycloaddition reactions has been established as a unique and powerful method in N-heterocycle synthesis, natural product preparation, and bioorthogonal chemistry. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the advances in the construction of these triazines via annulation and ring-expansion reactions, especially emphasizing recent developments and challenges. The synthetic transformations of triazines are focused on IEDDA cycloaddition reactions, which have allowed access to a wide scope of heterocycles, including pyridines, carbolines, azepines, pyridazines, pyrazines, and pyrimidines. The utilization of triazine IEDDA reactions as key steps in natural product synthesis is also discussed. More importantly, a particular attention is paid on the bioorthogonal application of triazines in fast click ligation with various strained alkenes and alkynes, which opens a new opportunity for studying biomolecules in chemical biology.

Abstract
Sydnones are highly stable mesoionic 1,3‐dipoles that react with cyclooctynes through strain‐promoted sydnone‐alkyne cycloaddition (SPSAC). Although sydnones have been shown to be valuable bioorthogonal chemical reporters for the labeling of proteins and complex glycans, nucleic acids have not yet been tagged by SPSAC. Evaluation of SPSAC kinetics with model substrates showed fast reactions with cyclooctyne probes (up to k=0.59 M−1 s−1), and two different sydnones were effectively incorporated into both 2’‐deoxyuridines at position 5, and 7‐deaza‐2’‐deoxyadenosines at position 7. These modified nucleosides were synthetically incorporated into single‐stranded DNAs, which were successfully postsynthetically labeled with cyclooctyne probes both in vitro and in cells. These results show that sydnones are versatile bioorthogonal tags and have the premise to become essential tools for tracking DNA and potentially RNA in living cells.

Abstract
A smart fluorescence "turn-on" probe which contained a dansyl amide fluorophore and an N-oxide group was designed based on the bioorthogonal decaging reaction between N-oxide and the boron reagent. The reaction proceeds in a rapid kinetics (k2 =57.1±2.5 m-1 s-1 ), and the resulting reduction product showcases prominent fluorescence enhancement (up to 72-fold). Time dependent density functional theoretical (TD-DFT) calculation revealed that the process of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the N-oxide moiety to the dansyl amide fluorophore accounts for the quenching mechanism of N-oxide. This probe also showed high selectivity over various nucleophilic amino acids and good biocompatibility in physiological conditions. The successful application of the probe in HaloTag protein labeling and HepG2 live-cell imaging proves it a valuable tool for visualization of biomolecules.

Abstract
A comprehensive study of the reaction scope of methyl 1,2,3-triazine-5-carboxylate (3a) with alkyl and aryl amidines is disclosed, reacting at room temperature at remarkable rates (<5 min, 0.1 M in CH3CN) nearly 10000-fold faster than that of unsubstituted 1,2,3-triazine and providing the product pyrimidines in high yields. C4 Methyl substitution of the 1,2,3-triazine (3b) had little effect on the rate of the reaction, whereas C4/C6 dimethyl substitution (3c) slowed the room-temperature reaction (<24 h, 0.25 M) but displayed an unaltered scope, providing the product pyrimidines in similarly high yields. Measured second-order rate constants of the reaction of 3a-c, the corresponding nitriles 3e and 3f, and 1,2,3-triazine itself (3d) with benzamidine and substituted derivatives quantitated the remarkable reactivity of 3a and 3e, verified the inverse electron demand nature of the reaction (Hammett ρ = -1.50 for substituted amidines, ρ = +7.9 for 5-substituted 1,2,3-triazine), and provided a quantitative measure of the impact of 4-methyl and 4,6-dimethyl substitution on the reactivity of the methyl 1,2,3-triazine-5-carboxylate and 5-cyano-1,2,3-triazine core heterocycles.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal reactions are rapid, specific and high yield reactions that can be performed in in vivo microenvironments or simulated microenvironments. At present, the main biorthogonal reactions include Staudinger ligation, copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition, strain-promoted [3 + 2] reaction, tetrazine ligation, metal-catalyzed coupling reaction and photo-induced biorthogonal reactions. To date, many reviews have reported that bioorthogonal reactions have been used widely as a powerful tool in the field of life sciences, such as in target recognition, drug discovery, drug activation, omics research, visualization of life processes or exogenous bacterial infection processes, signal transduction pathway research, chemical reaction dynamics analysis, disease diagnosis and treatment. In contrast, to date, few studies have investigated the application of bioorthogonal reactions in the analysis of biomacromolecules in vivo. Therefore, the application of bioorthogonal reactions in the analysis of proteins, nucleic acids, metabolites, enzyme activities and other endogenous molecules, and the determination of disease-related targets is reviewed. In addition, this review discusses the future development opportunities and challenges of biorthogonal reactions. This review presents an overview of recent advances for application in biomolecular analysis and disease diagnosis, with a focus on proteins, metabolites and RNA detection.

Abstract
Chemically modified biomacromolecules-i.e., proteins, nucleic acids, glycans, and lipids-have become crucial tools in chemical biology. They are extensively used not only to elucidate cellular processes but also in industrial applications, particularly in the context of biopharmaceuticals. In order to enable maximum scope for optimization, it is pivotal to have a diverse array of biomacromolecule modification methods at one's disposal. Chemistry has driven many significant advances in this area, and especially recently, numerous novel visible-light-induced photochemical approaches have emerged. In these reactions, light serves as an external source of energy, enabling access to highly reactive intermediates under exceedingly mild conditions and with exquisite spatiotemporal control. While UV-induced transformations on biomacromolecules date back decades, visible light has the unmistakable advantage of being considerably more biocompatible, and a spectrum of visible-light-driven methods is now available, chiefly for proteins and nucleic acids. This review will discuss modifications of native functional groups (FGs), including functionalization, labeling, and cross-linking techniques as well as the utility of oxidative degradation mediated by photochemically generated reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, transformations at non-native, bioorthogonal FGs on biomacromolecules will be addressed, including photoclick chemistry and DNA-encoded library synthesis as well as methods that allow manipulation of the activity of a biomacromolecule.

Abstract
![]()
Pyridyl tetrazines
coordinated to metals like rhenium have been
shown to be more reactive in [4 + 2] cycloadditions than their uncomplexed
counterparts. Using density functional theory calculations, we found
a more favorable interaction energy caused by stronger orbital interactions
as the origin of this increased reactivity. Additionally, the high
regioselectivity is due to a greater degree of charge stabilization
in the transition state, leading to the major product.

Abstract
While a diverse set of design strategies have produced various chemical tools for biomolecule labeling in aqueous media, the development of nonaqueous, biomolecule-compatible media for bioconjugation has significantly lagged behind. In this report, we demonstrate that an aprotic ionic liquid serves as a novel reaction solvent for protein bioconjugation without noticeable loss of the biomolecule functions. The ionic liquid bioconjugation approach led to discovery of a novel triphenylphosphine-mediated amine-azide coupling reaction that forges a stable tetrazene linkage on unprotected peptides and proteins. This strategy of using untraditional media would provide untapped opportunities for expanding the scope of chemical approaches for bioconjugation.

Abstract
Chromophores that absorb in the tissue-penetrant far-red/near-infrared window have long served as photocatalysts to generate singlet oxygen for photodynamic therapy. However, the cytotoxicity and side reactions associated with singlet oxygen sensitization have posed a problem for using long-wavelength photocatalysis to initiate other types of chemical reactions in biological environments. Herein, silicon-Rhodamine compounds (SiRs) are described as photocatalysts for inducing rapid bioorthogonal chemistry using 660 nm light through the oxidation of a dihydrotetrazine to a tetrazine in the presence of trans-cyclooctene dienophiles. SiRs have been commonly used as fluorophores for bioimaging but have not been applied to catalyze chemical reactions. A series of SiR derivatives were evaluated, and the Janelia Fluor-SiR dyes were found to be especially effective in catalyzing photooxidation (typically 3%). A dihydrotetrazine/tetrazine pair is described that displays high stability in both oxidation states. A protein that was site-selectively modified by trans-cyclooctene was quantitatively conjugated upon exposure to 660 nm light and a dihydrotetrazine. By contrast, a previously described methylene blue catalyst was found to rapidly degrade the protein. SiR-red light photocatalysis was used to cross-link hyaluronic acid derivatives functionalized by dihydrotetrazine and trans-cyclooctenes, enabling 3D culture of human prostate cancer cells. Photoinducible hydrogel formation could also be carried out in live mice through subcutaneous injection of a Cy7-labeled hydrogel precursor solution, followed by brief irradiation to produce a stable hydrogel. This cytocompatible method for using red light photocatalysis to activate bioorthogonal chemistry is anticipated to find broad applications where spatiotemporal control is needed in biological environments.

Abstract
The merging of click chemistry with discrete photochemical processes has led to the creation of a new class of click reactions, collectively known as photoclick chemistry. These light-triggered click reactions allow the synthesis of diverse organic structures in a rapid and precise manner under mild conditions. Because light offers unparalleled spatiotemporal control over the generation of the reactive intermediates, photoclick chemistry has become an indispensable tool for a wide range of spatially addressable applications including surface functionalization, polymer conjugation and cross-linking, and biomolecular labeling in the native cellular environment. Over the past decade, a growing number of photoclick reactions have been developed, especially those based on the 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions and Diels-Alder reactions owing to their excellent reaction kinetics, selectivity, and biocompatibility. This review summarizes the recent advances in the development of photoclick reactions and their applications in chemical biology and materials science. A particular emphasis is placed on the historical contexts and mechanistic insights into each of the selected reactions. The in-depth discussion presented here should stimulate further development of the field, including the design of new photoactivation modalities, the continuous expansion of λ-orthogonal tandem photoclick chemistry, and the innovative use of these unique tools in bioconjugation and nanomaterial synthesis.

Abstract
Click chemistry has been established rapidly as one of the most valuable methods for the chemical transformation of complex molecules. Due to the rapid rates, clean conversions to the products, and compatibility of the reagents and reaction conditions even in complex settings, it has found applications in many molecule-oriented disciplines. From the vast landscape of click reactions, approaches have emerged in the past decade centered around oxidative processes to generate in situ highly reactive synthons from dormant functionalities. These approaches have led to some of the fastest click reactions know to date. Here, we review the various methods that can be used for such oxidation-induced "one-pot" click chemistry for the transformation of small molecules, materials, and biomolecules. A comprehensive overview is provided of oxidation conditions that induce a click reaction, and oxidation conditions are orthogonal to other click reactions so that sequential "click-oxidation-click" derivatization of molecules can be performed in one pot. Our review of the relevant literature shows that this strategy is emerging as a powerful approach for the preparation of high-performance materials and the generation of complex biomolecules. As such, we expect that oxidation-induced "one-pot" click chemistry will widen in scope substantially in the forthcoming years.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to gain insight into the reaction mechanism of the Brønsted acid-catalyzed unsymmetrical 1,2,4,5-tetrazine synthesis. Various possible reaction pathways were considered, and the most favorable one can be characterized via sequential six steps, including addition of DCM to hydrazine 1 giving complex IM4, N-H bond activation in IM4 mediated by sulfur, AcOH-assisted substitution of 3 with sulfur-activated hydrazine 2, HNO2-assisted addition of nitrile to intermediate 8, cyclization, and intramolecular elimination leading to the final product 7. Among the six steps, sulfur activation of IM4 N-H bond is found to be the rate-determining step (RDS). The mechanism rationalizes the experimental observation that 2 equiv of sulfur leads to the best yield of product. Furthermore, we disclosed that the Brønsted acid additives (i.e., acetic acid and nitrous acid) served triple roles as catalyst, proton shuttle, and hydrogen bond donor and acceptor in the whole catalysis.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an alternative modality for the therapy of diseases such as cancer in a minimally invasive manner. The essential photosensitizer, which acts as a catalyst when absorbing light, converts oxygen into cytotoxic reactive oxygen species that ablate malignant cells through apoptosis and/or necrosis, destroy tumor microvasculature, and stimulate immunity. An activatable photosensitizer whose photoactivity could be turned on by a specific disease biomarker is capable of distinguishing healthy cells from diseased cells, thereby reducing off-target photodamage. In this Minireview, we highlight progress in activatable organic photosensitizers over the past five years, including: (i) biorthogonal activatable BODIPYs; (ii) activatable Se-rhodamine with single-cell resolution; (iii) silicon phthalocyanine targeting oxygen tension; (iv) general D-π-A scaffolds; and (v) AIEgens. The potential challenges and opportunities for developing new types of activatable organic photosensitizers to overcome the hypoxia dilemmas of photodynamic therapy are discussed.

Abstract
We reported a series of nitroso-modified naphthylene-based fluorophores as novel bioorthogonal fluorescence turn-on probes. The cycloadducts from nitroso-diene Diels-Alder reaction could be either photochemically or spontaneously transformed into highly fluorescent rearrangement products with remarkable photophysical properties including significant fluorescence enhancement, large Stokes shift, high fluorescence quantum yield, superior photostability, and distinct solvatochromic effect. This strategy is suitable for selective labeling of diene-modified proteins and visualizing specific organelles in live mammalian cells under no-wash conditions.

Abstract
Transferases have emerged as among the best catalysts for enzyme-mediated bioorthogonal functional group installation to advance innovative in vitro, cell-based and in vivo chemical biology applications. This review introduces the key considerations for selecting enzyme catalysts and chemoselective reactions most amenable to bioorthogonal platform development and highlights relevant key technology development and applications for one ubiquitous transferase subclass - methyltransferases (MTs). Within this context, recent advances in MT-enabled bioorthogonal labeling/conjugation relevant to DNA, RNA, protein, and natural products (i.e. complex small molecule metabolites) are highlighted.

Abstract
The two main strategies for enzyme engineering, directed evolution and rational design, have found widespread applications in improving the intrinsic activities of proteins. Although numerous advances have been achieved using these ground-breaking methods, the limited chemical diversity of the biopolymers, restricted to the 20 canonical amino acids, hampers creation of novel enzymes that Nature has never made thus far. To address this, much research has been devoted to expanding the protein sequence space via chemical modifications and/or incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs). This review provides a balanced discussion and critical evaluation of the applications, recent advances, and technical breakthroughs in biocatalysis for three approaches: (i) chemical modification of cAAs, (ii) incorporation of ncAAs, and (iii) chemical modification of incorporated ncAAs. Furthermore, the applications of these approaches and the result on the functional properties and mechanistic study of the enzymes are extensively reviewed. We also discuss the design of artificial enzymes and directed evolution strategies for enzymes with ncAAs incorporated. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and future perspectives for biocatalysis using the expanded amino acid alphabet.

Abstract
Various bioorthogonal chemistries have been used for fluorescent imaging owing to the advantageous reactions they employ. Recent advances in bioorthogonal chemistry have revolutionized labeling strategies for fluorescence imaging, with inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reactions in particular attracting recent attention owing to their fast kinetics and excellent specificity. One of the most interesting features of the iEDDA labeling strategy is that tetrazine-functionalized dyes are known to act as fluorogenic probes. In this review, we will focus on the synthesis, molecular-design strategies, and bioimaging applications of tetrazine-functionalized fluorogenic probes. Traditional Pinner reaction and "Pinner-like" reactions for tetrazine synthesis are discussed here, as well as metal-catalyzed C-C bond formations with convenient tetrazine intermediates and the fabrication of tetrazine-conjugated fluorophores. In addition, four different quenching mechanisms for tetrazine-modified fluorophores are presented.

Abstract
The nucleophilic addition of silyl-enol ethers to nitrogen in 3-monosubstituted s-tetrazines mediated by BF3 is reported. The preference for this azaphilic addition over the usually observed inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reactions was evaluated theoretically and corroborated by experiments. The substrate dependency of this unusual reaction was rationalized by determination of the activation barriers and on the basis of the activation strain model by employing density functional theory.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry comprises chemical reactions that can take place inside complex biological environments, providing outstanding tools for the investigation and elucidation of biological processes. Its use in combination with nanotechnology can lead to further developments in diverse areas of biomedicine, such as molecular bioimaging, targeted delivery, in situ drug activation, study of cell-nanomaterial interactions, biosensing, etc. Here, we summarise the recent efforts to bring together the unique properties of nanoparticles and the remarkable features of bioorthogonal reactions to create a toolbox of new or improved biomedical applications. We show how, by joining forces, bioorthogonal chemistry and nanotechnology can overcome some of the key current limitations in the field of nanomedicine, providing better, faster and more sensitive nanoparticle-based bioimaging and biosensing techniques, as well as therapeutic nanoplatforms with superior efficacy.

Abstract
A facile, catalyst-free synthesis of a norbornylated cellulosic material (NC) with a high degree of substitution (2.9) is presented by direct reaction of trimethylsilyl cellulose with norbornene acid chloride. The resulting NC is highly soluble in organic solvents and its reactive double bonds were exploited for the copper-free inverse-electron demand Diels–Alder (iEDDA) “click” reaction with 3,6-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine. Reaction kinetics are comparable to the well-known Huisgen type 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azide with alkynes, while avoiding toxic catalysts.

Abstract
The development of abiotic chemical reactions that can be performed in an organelle-specific manner can provide new opportunities in drug delivery and cell and chemical biology. However, due to the complexity of the cellular environment, this remains a significant challenge. Here, we introduce structurally redesigned bioorthogonal tetrazine reagents that spontaneously accumulate in mitochondria of live mammalian cells. The attributes leading to their efficient accumulation in the organelle were optimized to include the right combination of lipophilicity and positive delocalized charge. The best performing mitochondriotropic tetrazines enable subcellular chemical release of TCO-caged compounds as we show using fluorogenic substrates and mitochondrial uncoupler niclosamide. Our work demonstrates that a shrewd redesign of common bioorthogonal reagents can lead to their transformation into organelle-specific probes, opening the possibility to activate prodrugs and manipulate biological processes at the subcellular level by using purely chemical tools.

Abstract
Although 1,2,4,5-tetrazines or s-tetrazines have been known in the literature for more than a century, their coordination chemistry has become increasingly popular in recent years due to their unique redox activity, multiple binding sites and their various applications. The electron-poor character of the ring and stabilization of the radical anion through all four nitrogen atoms in their metal complexes provide new aspects in molecular magnetism towards the synthesis of new high performing Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs). The scope of this review is to examine the role of s-tetrazine radical ligands in transition metal and lanthanide based SMMs and provide a critical overview of the progress thus far in this field. As well, general synthetic routes and new insights for the preparation of s-tetrazines are discussed, along with their redox activity and applications in various fields. Concluding remarks along with the limitations and perspectives of these ligands are discussed.

Abstract
Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is a powerful technique to label and detect active enzyme species within cell lysates, cells, or whole animals. In the last two decades, a wide variety of applications and experimental read-out techniques have been pursued in order to increase our understanding of physiological and pathological processes, to identify novel drug targets, to evaluate selectivity of drugs, and to image probe targets in cells. Bioorthogonal chemistry has substantially contributed to the field of ABPP, as it allows the introduction of tags, which may be bulky or have unfavorable physicochemical properties, at a late stage in the experiment. In this review, we give an overview of the bioorthogonal reactions that have been implemented in ABPP, provide examples of applications of bioorthogonal chemistry in ABPP, and share some thoughts on future directions.

Abstract
Live-cell imaging with fluorescent probes is an essential tool in chemical biology to visualize the dynamics of biological processes in real-time. Intracellular disease biomarker imaging remains a formidable challenge due to the intrinsic limitations of conventional fluorescent probes and the complex nature of cells. This work reports the in cellulo assembly of a fluorescent probe to image cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). We developed celecoxib-azide derivative 14, possessing favorable biophysical properties and excellent COX-2 selectivity profile. In cellulo strain-promoted fluorogenic click chemistry of COX-2-engaged compound 14 with non/weakly-fluorescent compounds 11 and 17 formed fluorescent probes 15 and 18 for the detection of COX-2 in living cells. Competitive binding studies, biophysical, and comprehensive computational analyses were used to describe protein-ligand interactions. The reported new chemical toolbox enables precise visualization and tracking of COX-2 in live cells with superior sensitivity in the visible range.

Abstract
Highly fluorogenic tetrazine bioorthogonal probes emitting at near-infrared wavelengths are in strong demand for biomedical imaging applications. Herein, we have developed a strategy for forming a palette of novel Huaxi-Fluor probes in situ, whose fluorescence increases hundreds of times upon forming the bioorthogonal reaction product, pyridazine. The resulting probes show large Stokes shifts and high quantum yields. Manipulating the conjugate length and pull-push strength in the fluorophore skeleton allows the emission wavelength to be fine-tuned from 556 to 728 nm. The highly photo-stable and biocompatible probes are suitable for visualizing organelles in live cells without a washing step and for imaging of tumors in live small animals to depths of 500 μm by two-photon excitation.

Abstract
Prodrugs, which remain inert until they are activated under appropriate conditions at the target site, have emerged as an attractive alternative to drugs that lack selectivity and show off-target effects. Prodrugs have traditionally been activated by enzymes, pH or other trigger factors associated with the disease. In recent years, bioorthogonal chemistry has allowed the creation of prodrugs that can be chemically activated with spatio-temporal precision. In particular, tetrazine-responsive bioorthogonal reactions can rapidly activate prodrugs with excellent biocompatibility. This review summarized the recent development of tetrazine bioorthogonal cleavage reaction and great promise for prodrug systems.

Abstract
Chemical probes have been instrumental in microbiology since its birth as a discipline in the 19th century when chemical dyes were used to visualize structural features of bacterial cells for the first time. In this review article we will illustrate the evolving design of chemical probes in modern chemical biology and their diverse applications in bacterial imaging and phenotypic analysis. We will introduce and discuss a variety of different probe types including fluorogenic substrates and activity-based probes that visualize metabolic and specific enzyme activities, metabolic labeling strategies to visualize structural features of bacterial cells, antibiotic-based probes as well as fluorescent conjugates to probe biomolecular uptake pathways.
