Abstract
The isocyano group is a structurally compact bioorthogonal functional group that reacts with tetrazines under physiological conditions. Now it is shown that bulky tetrazine substituents accelerate this cycloaddition. Computational studies suggest that dispersion forces between the isocyano group and the tetrazine substituents in the transition state contribute to the atypical structure-activity relationship. Stable asymmetric tetrazines that react with isonitriles at rate constants as high as 57 L mol-1 s-1 were accessible by combining bulky and electron-withdrawing substituents. Sterically encumbered tetrazines react selectively with isonitriles in the presence of strained alkenes/alkynes, which allows for the orthogonal labeling of three proteins. The established principles will open new opportunities for developing tetrazine reactants with improved characteristics for diverse labeling and release applications with isonitriles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since its introduction in the field of biological imaging, the use of copper-free click chemistry has been extended to produce improved materials for vascular surgery, ophthalmology, environmental, and automotive applications. This wide applicability suggests that larger quantities of the chemical reagents for copper-free click chemistry will be required in the future. However, the large-scale synthesis of such chemicals has been barely investigated. A possible reason is the shortage of reliable synthetic protocols to obtain large quantities of these building blocks. We therefore present in this paper an improved synthetic protocol to obtain a cyclopropene-based carbonate, a key building block for the well-known copper-free click chemistry. METHOD Our protocol builds upon an already available method to obtain a cyclopropene-based carbonate. When scaled up, several parameters of this method were changed in order to obtain an improved yield. First, the use of lower temperatures and slower addition rates of the chemicals avoided the formation of detrimental hotspots in the reaction system. Second, the use of less hygroscopic solvents minimized the decomposition of the cyclopropene carbonate. Finally, chromatographic purifications were minimized and improved by using deactivated silica. RESULTS We obtained the compound (2-methylcycloprop-2-en-1-yl)methyl (4-nitrophenyl) carbonate, a key building block for copper-free click chemistry, in an unprecedented 60% overall yield on a six-gram scale. CONCLUSIONS Our improved synthetic protocol demonstrates the potential of large-scale production of improved materials using click chemistry, with potential future applications in the fields of molecular imaging, vascular surgery, ophthalmology, and theranostics.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal reactions that proceed readily under physiological conditions without interference from biomolecules have found widespread application in the life sciences. Complementary to the bioorthogonal reactions that ligate two molecules, reactions that release a molecule or cleave a linker are increasingly attracting interest. Such dissociative bioorthogonal reactions have a broad spectrum of uses, for example, in controlling bio-macromolecule activity, in drug delivery, and in diagnostic assays. This review article summarizes the developed bioorthogonal reactions linked to a release step, outlines representative areas of the applications of such reactions, and discusses aspects that require further improvement.

Abstract
The metabolic oligosaccharide engineering (MOE) strategy using unnatural sialic acids has recently enabled the visualization of the sialome in living systems. However, MOE only reports on global sialylation and dissected information regarding subsets of sialosides is missing. Described here is the synthesis and utilization of sialic acids modified with a sydnone reporter for the metabolic labeling of sialoconjugates. The positioning of the reporter on the sugar significantly altered its metabolic fate. Further in vitro enzymatic assays revealed that the 9-modified neuraminic acid is preferentially accepted by the sialyltransferase ST6Gal-I over ST3Gal-IV, leading to the favored incorporation of the reporter into linkage-specific α2,6-N-linked sialoproteins. This sydnone sugar presents the possibility of investigating the roles of specific sialosides.

Abstract
The bioorthogonal reaction toolbox contains approximately two-dozen unique chemistries that permit selective tagging and probing of biomolecules. Over the past two decades, significant effort has been devoted to optimizing and discovering bioorthogonal reagents that are faster, fluorogenic, and orthogonal to the already existing bioorthogonal repertoire. Conversely, efforts to explore bioorthogonal reagents whose reactivity can be controlled in space and/or time are limited. The "activatable" bioorthogonal reagents that do exist are often unimodal, meaning that their reagent's activation method cannot be easily modified to enable activation with red-shifted wavelengths, enzymes, or metabolic-byproducts and ions like H2O2 or Fe3+. Here, we summarize the available activatable bioorthogonal reagents with a focus on our recent addition: modular caged cyclopropenes. We designed caged cyclopropenes to be unreactive to their bioorthogonal partner until they are activated through the removal of the cage by light, an enzyme, or another reaction partner. To accomplish this, their structure includes a nitrogen atom at the cyclopropene C3 position that is decorated with the desired caging group through a carbamate linkage. This 3-N cyclopropene system can allow control of cyclopropene reactivity using a multitude of already available photo- and enzyme-caging groups. Additionally, this cyclopropene scaffold can enable metabolic-byproduct or ion activation of bioorthogonal reactions.

Abstract
Cyclopropenes have been proven valuable chemical reporter groups for metabolic glycoengineering (MGE). They readily react with tetrazines in an inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (DAinv) reaction, a prime example of a bioorthogonal ligation reaction, allowing their visualization in biological systems. Here, we present a comparative study of six cyclopropene-modified hexosamine derivatives and their suitability for MGE. Three mannosamine derivatives in which the cyclopropene moiety is attached to the sugar by either an amide or a carbamate linkage and that differ by the presence or absence of a stabilizing methyl group at the double bond have been examined. We determined their DAinv reaction kinetics and their labeling intensities after metabolic incorporation. To determine the efficiencies by which the derivatives are metabolized to sialic acids, we synthesized and investigated the corresponding cyclopropane derivatives because cyclopropenes are not stable under the analysis conditions. From these experiments, it became obvious that N-(cycloprop-2-en-1-ylcarbonyl)-modified (Cp-modified) mannosamine has the highest metabolic acceptance. However, carbamate-linked N-(2-methylcycloprop-2-en-1-ylmethyloxycarbonyl)-modified (Cyoc-modified) mannosamine despite its lower metabolic acceptance results in the same cell-surface labeling intensity due to its superior reactivity in the DAinv reaction. Based on the high incorporation efficiency of the Cp derivative we synthesized and investigated two new Cp-modified glucosamine and galactosamine derivatives. Both compounds lead to comparable, distinct cell-surface staining after MGE. We further found that the amide-linked Cp-modified glucosamine derivative but not the Cyoc-modified glucosamine is metabolically converted to the corresponding sialic acid.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal ligations have been designed and optimized to provide new experimental avenues for understanding biological systems. Generally, these optimizations have focused on improving reaction rates and orthogonality to both biology and other members of the bioorthogonal reaction repertoire. Less well explored are reactions that permit control of bioorthogonal reactivity in space and time. Here we describe a strategy that enables modular control of the cyclopropene-tetrazine ligation. We developed 3-N-substituted spirocyclopropenes that are designed to be unreactive towards 1,2,4,5-tetrazines when bulky N-protecting groups sterically prohibit the tetrazine's approach, and reactive once the groups are removed. We describe the synthesis of 3-N spirocyclopropenes with an appended electron withdrawing group to promote stability. Modification of the cyclopropene 3-N with a bulky, light-cleavable caging group was effective at stifling its reaction with tetrazine, and the caged cyclopropene was resistant to reaction with biological nucleophiles. As expected, upon removal of the light-labile group, the 3-N cyclopropene reacted with tetrazine to form the expected ligation product both in solution and on a tetrazine-modified protein. This reactivity caging strategy leverages the popular carbamate protecting group linkage, enabling the use of diverse caging groups to tailor the reaction's activation modality for specific applications.

Abstract
Click chemistry has great potential for use in binding between nucleic acids, lipids, proteins, and other molecules, and has been used in many research fields because of its beneficial characteristics, including high yield, high specificity, and simplicity. The recent development of copper-free and less cytotoxic click chemistry reactions has allowed for the application of click chemistry to the field of medicine. Moreover, metabolic glycoengineering allows for the direct modification of living cells with substrates for click chemistry either in vitro or in vivo. As such, click chemistry has become a powerful tool for cell transplantation and drug delivery. In this review, we describe some applications of click chemistry for cell engineering in cell transplantation and for drug delivery in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Sulfonamide derivatives have been used in pharmaceutics for decades. Here we report a new approach to release sulfonamides efficiently using a bioorthogonal reaction of sulfonyl sydnonimines and dibenzoazacyclooctyne (DIBAC). The second-order rate constant of the cycloaddition reaction can be up to 0.62 M-1 s-1, and the reactants are highly stable under physiological conditions. Most significantly, we also discovered the mutual orthogonality between the sydnonimine-DIBAC and benzonorbornadiene-tetrazine cycloaddition pairs, which can be used for selective and simultaneous liberation of sulfonamide and primary amine drugs.

Abstract
Two hydrophilic spiroalkenes, azaspiro[2.3]hex-1-ene and azaspiro[2.4]hept-1-ene, were designed and synthesized. Compared to the previously reported spiro[2.3]hex-1-ene, the azaspiroalkenes exhibited greater water solubility and reactivity as dipolarophiles in the photoinduced tetrazole-alkene cycloaddition reaction. In addition, an azaspiro[2.3]hex-1-ene-containing amino acid, AsphK, was found to be charged by an engineered pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase into proteins via amber codon suppression in E. coli as well as in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal strategies are continuing to pave the way for new analytical tools in biology. Although a significant amount of progress has been made in developing covalent reaction based bioorthogonal strategies, balanced reactivity, and stability are often difficult to achieve from these systems. Alternatively, despite being kinetically beneficial, the development of noncovalent approaches that utilize fully synthetic and stable components remains challenging due to the lack of selectivity in conventional noncovalent interactions in the living cellular environment. Herein, we introduce a bioorthogonal assembly strategy based on a synthetic host-guest system featuring Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and adamantylamine (ADA). We demonstrate that highly selective and ultrastable host-guest interaction between CB[7] and ADA provides a noncovalent mechanism for assembling labeling agents, such as fluorophores and DNA, in cells and tissues for bioorthogonal imaging of molecular targets. Additionally, by combining with covalent reaction, we show that this CB[7]-ADA based noncovalent interaction enables simultaneous bioorthogonal labeling and multiplexed imaging in cells as well as tissue sections. Finally, we show that interaction between CB[7] and ADA fulfills the demands of specificity and stability that is required for assembling molecules in the complexities of a living cell. We demonstrate this by sensitive detection of metastatic cancer-associated cell surface protein marker as well as by showing the distribution and dynamics of F-actin in living cells.

Abstract
Protein O-GlcNAcylation is a non-canonical glycosylation of nuclear, mitochondrial, and cytoplasmic proteins with the attachment of a single O-linked β-N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) moiety. Advances in labeling and identifying O-GlcNAcylated proteins have helped improve the understanding of O-GlcNAcylation at levels that range from basic molecular biology to cell signaling and gene regulation to physiology and disease. This review describes these advances in chemistry involving chemical reporters and their bioorthogonal reactions utilized for detection and construction of O-GlcNAc proteomes in a molecular mechanistic view. This detailed view will help better understand the principles of the chemistries utilized for biology discovery and promote continued efforts in developing new molecular tools and new strategies to further explore protein O-GlcNAcylation.

Abstract
Metabolic Oligosaccharide Engineering (MOE) is a groundbreaking strategy which has been largely used in the last decades, as a powerful strategy for glycans understanding. The present review aims to highlight recent studies that are pushing the boundaries of MOE applications.
Glycans form one of the four classes of biomolecules, are found in every living system and present a huge structural and functional diversity. As an illustration of this diversity, it has been reported that more than 50% of the human proteome is glycosylated and that 2% of the human genome is dedicated to glycosylation processes. Glycans are involved in many biological processes such as signalization, cell–cell or host pathogen interactions, immunity, etc. However, fundamental processes associated with glycans are not yet fully understood and the development of glycobiology is relatively recent compared to the study of genes or proteins. Approximately 25 years ago, the studies of Bertozzi's and Reutter's groups paved the way for metabolic oligosaccharide engineering (MOE), a strategy which consists in the use of modified sugar analogs which are taken up into the cells, metabolized, incorporated into glycoconjugates, and finally detected in a specific manner. This groundbreaking strategy has been widely used during the last few decades and the concomitant development of new bioorthogonal ligation reactions has allowed many advances in the field. Typically, MOE has been used to either visualize glycans or identify different classes of glycoproteins. The present review aims to highlight recent studies that lie somewhat outside of these more traditional approaches and that are pushing the boundaries of MOE applications.

Abstract
Lipidated cyclopropenes serve as useful bioorthogonal reagents for imaging cell membranes due to the cyclopropene's small size and ability to ligate with pro-fluorescent tetrazines. Previously, the lipidation of cyclopropenes required modification at the C3 position because methods to append lipids at C1/C2 were not available. Herein, we describe C1/C2 lipidation with the biologically active lipid ceramide and a common phospholipid using a cyclopropene scaffold whose reactivity with 1,2,4,5-tetrazines has been caged.

Abstract
![]()
Bioorthogonal
reactions are selective transformations that are
not affected by any biological functional group and are widely used
for chemical modification of biomolecules. Recently, we reported that
vinylboronic acids (VBAs) gave exceptionally high reaction rates in
the bioorthogonal inverse electron-demand Diels–Alder (iEDDA)
reaction with tetrazines bearing a boron-coordinating pyridyl moiety
compared to tetrazines lacking such a substituent. In this integrated
experimental and theoretical study, we show how the reaction rate
of the VBA-tetrazine ligation can be accelerated by shifting the equilibrium
from boronic acid to the boronate anion in the reaction mixture. Quantum
chemical activation strain analyses reveal that this rate enhancement
is a direct consequence of the excellent electron-donating capability
of the boronate anion in which the π HOMO is pushed to a higher
energy due to the net negative potential of this species. We have
explored the second-order rate constants of several tetrazines containing
potential VBA-coordinating hydroxyl substituents. We observed an increase
in rate constants of several orders of magnitude compared to the tetrazines
lacking a hydroxyl substituent. Furthermore, we find the hydroxyl-substituted
tetrazines to be more selective toward VBAs than toward the commonly
used bioorthogonal reactant norbornene, and more stable in aqueous
environment than the previously studied tetrazines containing a pyridyl
substituent.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal reactions have found widespread use in applications ranging from glycan engineering to in vivo imaging. Researchers have devised numerous reactions that can be predictably performed in a biological setting. Depending on the requirements of the intended application, one or more reactions from the available toolkit can be readily deployed. As an increasing number of investigators explore and apply chemical reactions in living systems, it is clear that there are a myriad of ways in which the field may advance. This article presents an outlook on the future of bioorthogonal chemistry. I discuss currently emerging opportunities and speculate on how bioorthogonal reactions might be applied in research and translational settings. I also outline hurdles that must be cleared if progress toward these goals is to be made. Given the incredible past successes of bioorthogonal chemistry and the rapid pace of innovations in the field, the future is undoubtedly very bright.

Abstract
A deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP) analogue for DNA labeling was synthesized with the 1-methylcyclopropene (1MCP) group at the 7-position of 7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine and applied for primer extension experiments. The real-time kinetic data reveals that this 1MCP-modified dATP analogue is incorporated into DNA much faster than that of the similarly 1MCP-modified deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP) analogue. The postsynthetic fluorescent labeling of these oligonucleotides works efficiently according to PAGE analysis, and can be applied for immobilization of a functional antibody on a surface. Site-specific labeling at two different positions in DNA was achieved and the bioorthogonality of the postsynthetic fluorescent labeling was demonstrated in living HeLa cells.

Abstract
Novel click reactions are of continued interest in fields as diverse as bio-conjugation, polymer science and surface chemistry. Qualification as a proper "click" reaction requires stringent criteria, including fast kinetics and high conversion, to be met. Herein, we report a novel strain-promoted cycloaddition between cyclopropenes and o-quinones in solution and on a surface. We demonstrate the "click character" of the reaction in solution and on surfaces for both monolayer and polymer brush functionalization.

Abstract
Uridine diphosphate N-acetyl muramic acid (UDP NAM) is a critical intermediate in bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) biosynthesis. As the primary source of muramic acid that shapes the PG backbone, modifications installed at the UDP NAM intermediate can be used to selectively tag and manipulate this polymer via metabolic incorporation. However, synthetic and purification strategies to access large quantities of these PG building blocks, as well as their derivatives, are challenging. A robust chemoenzymatic synthesis was developed using an expanded NAM library to produce a variety of 2 -N-functionalized UDP NAMs. In addition, a synthetic strategy to access bio-orthogonal 3-lactic acid NAM derivatives was developed. The chemoenzymatic UDP synthesis revealed that the bacterial cell wall recycling enzymes MurNAc/GlcNAc anomeric kinase (AmgK) and NAM α-1 phosphate uridylyl transferase (MurU) were permissive to permutations at the two and three positions of the sugar donor. We further explored the utility of these derivatives in the fluorescent labeling of both Gram (-) and Gram (+) PG in whole cells using a variety of bio-orthogonal chemistries including the tetrazine ligation. This report allows for rapid and scalable access to a variety of functionalized NAMs and UDP NAMs, which now can be used in tandem with other complementary bio-orthogonal labeling strategies to address fundamental questions surrounding PG's role in immunology and microbiology.

Abstract
A nature-inspired bioorthogonal reaction has been developed, hinging on an inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction of tetrazine with β-caryophyllene. Readily accessible from the cheap starting material through a scalable synthesis, the newly developed β-caryophyllene chemical reporter displays appealing reaction kinetics and excellent biocompatibility, which renders it applicable to both in vitro protein labeling and live cell imaging. Moreover, it can be used orthogonally to the strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition for dual protein labeling. This work not only provides an alternative to the existing bioorthogonal reaction toolbox, but also opens a new avenue to utilize naturally occurring scaffolds as bioorthogonal chemical reporters.

Abstract
A new class of bioorthogonal reagents based on the cyclopentadiene scaffold is described. The diene 6,7,8,9-tetrachloro-1,4-dioxospiro[4,4]nona-6,8-diene (a tetrachlorocyclopentadiene ketal, TCK) is ambiphilic and self-orthogonal with remarkable stability. The diene reacts rapidly with a trans-cyclooctene and an endo-bicyclononyne, but slowly with dibenzoazacyclooctyne (DIBAC), allowing for tandem labeling studies with mutually orthogonal azides that react rapidly with DIBAC. TCK analogues are synthesized in three steps from inexpensive, commercially available starting materials.

Abstract
Chemical tools are transforming our understanding of biomolecules and living systems. Included in this group are bioorthogonal reagents-functional groups that are inert to most biological species, but can be selectively ligated with complementary probes, even in live cells and whole organisms. Applications of these tools have revealed fundamental new insights into biomolecule structure and function-information often beyond the reach of genetic approaches. In many cases, the knowledge gained from bioorthogonal probes has enabled new questions to be asked and innovative research to be pursued. Thus, the continued development and application of these tools promises to both refine our view of biological systems and facilitate new discoveries. Despite decades of achievements in bioorthogonal chemistry, limitations remain. Several reagents are too large or insufficiently stable for use in cellular environments. Many bioorthogonal groups also cross-react with one another, restricting them to singular tasks. In this Account, we describe our work to address some of the voids in the bioorthogonal toolbox. Our efforts to date have focused on small reagents with a high degree of tunability: cyclopropenes, triazines, and cyclopropenones. These motifs react selectively with complementary reagents, and their unique features are enabling new pursuits in biology. The Account is organized by common themes that emerged in our development of novel bioorthogonal reagents and reactions. First, natural product structures can serve as valuable starting points for probe design. Cyclopropene, triazine, and cyclopropenone motifs are all found in natural products, suggesting that they would be metabolically stable and compatible with a variety of living systems. Second, fine-tuning bioorthogonal reagents is essential for their successful translation to biological systems. Different applications demand different types of probes; thus, generating a collection of tools that span a continuum of reactivities and stabilities remains an important goal. We have used both computational analyses and mechanistic studies to guide the optimization of various cyclopropene and triazine probes. Along the way, we identified reagents that are chemoselective but best suited for in vitro work. Others are selective and robust enough for use in living organisms. The last section of this Account highlights the need for the continued pursuit of new reagents and reactions. Challenges exist when bioorthogonal chemistries must be used in concert, given that many exploit similar mechanisms and cannot be used simultaneously. Such limitations have precluded certain multicomponent labeling studies and other biological applications. We have relied on mechanistic and computational insights to identify mutually orthogonal sets of reactions, in addition to exploring unique genres of reactivity. The continued development of mechanistically distinct, biocompatible reactions will further diversify the bioorthogonal reaction portfolio for examining biomolecules.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry has found increased application in living systems over the past decade. In particular, tetrazine bioorthogonal chemistry has become a powerful tool for imaging, detection, and diagnostic purposes, as reflected in the increased number of examples reported in the literature. The popularity of tetrazine ligations are likely due to rapid and tunable kinetics, the existence of high quality fluorogenic probes, and the selectivity of reaction. In this Account, we summarize our recent efforts to advance tetrazine bioorthogonal chemistry through improvements in synthetic methodology, with an emphasis on developing new routes to tetrazines and expanding the range of useful dienophiles. These efforts have removed specific barriers that previously limited tetrazine ligations and have broadened their potential applications. Among other advances, this Account describes how our group discovered new methodology for tetrazine synthesis by developing a Lewis acid-promoted, one-pot method for generating diverse symmetric and asymmetric alkyl tetrazines with functional substituents in satisfactory yields. We attached these tetrazines to microelectrodes and succeeded in controlling tetrazine ligation by changing the redox state of the reactants. Using this electrochemical control process, we were able to modify an electrode surface with redox probes and enzymes in a site-selective fashion. This Account also describes how our group improved the ability of tetrazines to act as fluorogenic probes by developing a novel elimination-Heck cascade reaction to synthesize alkenyl tetrazine derivatives. In this approach, tetrazine was conjugated to fluorophores to produce strongly quenched probes that, after bioorthogonal reaction, are "turned on" to enhance fluorescence, in many cases by >100-fold. These probes have allowed no-wash fluorescence imaging in living cells and intact animals. Finally, this Account reviews our efforts to expand the range of dienophile substrates to make tetrazine bioorthogonal chemistry compatible with specific biochemical and biomedical applications. We found that methylcyclopropene is sufficiently stable and reactive in the biological milieu to act as an efficient dienophile. The small size of the reactive tag minimizes steric hindrance, allowing cyclopropene to serve as a metabolic reporter group to reveal biological dynamics and function. We also used norbornadiene derivatives as strained dienophiles to undergo tetrazine-mediated transfer (TMT) reactions involving tetrazine ligation followed by a retro-Diels-Alder process. This TMT reaction generates a pair of nonligating products. Using nucleic acid-templated chemistry, we have combined the TMT reaction with our fluorogenic tetrazine probes to detect endogenous oncogenic microRNA at picomolar concentrations. In a further display of dienophile versatility, we used a novel vinyl ether to cage a near-infrared fluorophore in a nonfluorescent form. Then we opened the cage in a "click to release" tetrazine bioorthogonal reaction, restoring the fluorescent form of the fluorophore. Combining this label with a corresponding nucleic acid probe allowed fluorogenic detection of target mRNA. In summary, this Account describes improvements in tetrazine and dienophile synthesis and application to advance tetrazine bioorthogonal chemistry. These advances have further enabled application of tetrazine ligation chemistry, not only in fundamental research but also in diagnostic studies.

This methodology enables the functionalization of a wide range of terminal or internal alkynes under ambient, aerobic, and solvent-free conditions.

Abstract
Small carbocycles are structurally rigid and possess high intrinsic energy due to their ring strain. These features lead to broad applications but also create challenges for their construction. We report the engineering of hemeproteins that catalyze the formation of chiral bicyclobutanes, one of the most strained four-membered systems, via successive carbene addition to unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds. Enzymes that produce cyclopropenes, putative intermediates to the bicyclobutanes, were also identified. These genetically encoded proteins are readily optimized by directed evolution, function in Escherichia coli, and act on structurally diverse substrates with high efficiency and selectivity, providing an effective route to many chiral strained structures. This biotransformation is easily performed at preparative scale, and the resulting strained carbocycles can be derivatized, opening myriad potential applications.

Abstract
In pursuit of fast bioorthogonal reactions, reactive moieties have been increasingly employed for selective labeling of biomolecules in living systems, posing a challenge in attaining reactivity without sacrificing selectivity. To address this challenge, here we report a bioinspired strategy in which molecular shape controls the selectivity of a transient, highly reactive nitrile imine dipole. By tuning the shape of structural pendants attached to the ortho position of the N-aryl ring of diaryltetrazoles-precursors of nitrile imines, we discovered a sterically shielded nitrile imine that favors the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition over the competing nucleophilic addition. The photogenerated nitrile imine exhibits an extraordinarily long half-life of 102 s in aqueous medium, owing to its unique molecular shape that hinders the approach of a nucleophile as shown by DFT calculations. The utility of this sterically shielded nitrile imine in rapid (∼1 min) bioorthogonal labeling of glucagon receptor in live mammalian cells was demonstrated.

Abstract
The emerging inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction stands out from other bioorthogonal reactions by virtue of its unmatchable kinetics, excellent orthogonality and biocompatibility. With the recent discovery of novel dienophiles and optimal tetrazine coupling partners, attention has now been turned to the use of IEDDA approaches in basic biology, imaging and therapeutics. Here we review this bioorthogonal reaction and its promising applications for live cell and animal studies. We first discuss the key factors that contribute to the fast IEDDA kinetics and describe the most recent advances in the synthesis of tetrazine and dienophile coupling partners. Both coupling partners have been incorporated into proteins for tracking and imaging by use of fluorogenic tetrazines that become strongly fluorescent upon reaction. Selected notable examples of such applications are presented. The exceptional fast kinetics of this catalyst-free reaction, even using low concentrations of coupling partners, make it amenable for in vivo radiolabelling using pretargeting methodologies, which are also discussed. Finally, IEDDA reactions have recently found use in bioorthogonal decaging to activate proteins or drugs in gain-of-function strategies. We conclude by showing applications of the IEDDA reaction in the construction of biomaterials that are used for drug delivery and multimodal imaging, among others. The use and utility of the IEDDA reaction is interdisciplinary and promises to revolutionize chemical biology, radiochemistry and materials science.

Abstract
Hydrogels are commonly used as engineered extracellular matrix (ECM) mimics in applications ranging from tissue engineering to in vitro disease models. Ideal mechanisms used to crosslink ECM-mimicking hydrogels do not interfere with the biology of the system. However, most common hydrogel crosslinking chemistries exhibit some form of cross-reactivity. The field of bio-orthogonal chemistry has arisen to address the need for highly specific and robust reactions in biological contexts. Accordingly, bio-orthogonal crosslinking strategies have been incorporated into hydrogel design, allowing for gentle and efficient encapsulation of cells in various hydrogel materials. Furthermore, the selective nature of bio-orthogonal chemistries can permit dynamic modification of hydrogel materials in the presence of live cells and other biomolecules to alter matrix mechanical properties and biochemistry on demand. In this review, we provide an overview of bio-orthogonal strategies used to prepare cell-encapsulating hydrogels and highlight the potential applications of bio-orthogonal chemistries in the design of dynamic engineered ECMs.

Abstract
A method of cysteine alkylation using cyclopropenyl ketones is described. Due to the significant release of cyclopropene strain energy, reactions of thiols with cyclopropenyl ketones are both fast and irreversible and give rise to stable conjugate addition adducts. The resulting cyclopropenyl ketones have a low molecular weight and allow for simple attachment of amides via N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-esters. While cyclopropenyl ketones do display slow background reactivity toward water, labeling by thiols is much more rapid. The reaction of a cyclopropenyl ketone with glutathione (GSH) proceeds with a rate of 595 M-1 s-1 in PBS at pH 7.4, which is considerably faster than α-halocarbonyl labeling reagents, and competitive with maleimide/thiol couplings. The method has been demonstrated in protein conjugation, and an arylthiolate conjugate was shown to be stable upon prolonged incubation in either GSH or human plasma. Finally, cyclopropenyl ketones were used to create PEG-based hydrogels that are stable to prolonged incubation in a reducing environment.

Abstract
Homogeneous antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), generated by site-specific toxin linkage, show improved therapeutic indices with respect to traditional ADCs. However, current methods to produce site-specific conjugates suffer from low protein expression, slow reaction kinetics, and low yields, or are limited to particular conjugation sites. Here we describe high yielding expression systems that efficiently incorporate a cyclopropene derivative of lysine (CypK) into antibodies through genetic-code expansion. We express trastuzumab bearing CypK and conjugate tetrazine derivatives to the antibody. We show that the dihydropyridazine linkage resulting from the conjugation reaction is stable in serum, and generate an ADC bearing monomethyl auristatin E that selectively kills cells expressing a high level of HER2. Our results demonstrate that CypK is a minimal bioorthogonal handle for the rapid production of stable therapeutic protein conjugates.

Abstract
![]()
Bioorthogonal chemistry
can be used for the selective modification
of biomolecules without interfering with any other functionality present
in the cell. The tetrazine ligation is very suitable as a bioorthogonal
reaction because of its selectivity and high reaction rates with several
alkenes and alkynes. Recently, we described vinylboronic acids (VBAs)
as novel hydrophilic bioorthogonal moieties that react efficiently
with dipyridyl-s-tetrazines and used them for protein
modification in cell lysate. It is not clear, however, whether VBAs
are suitable for labeling experiments in living cells because of the
possible coordination with, for example, vicinal carbohydrate diols.
Here, we evaluated VBAs as bioorthogonal reactants for labeling of
proteins in living cells using an irreversible inhibitor of the proteasome
and compared the reactivity to that of an inhibitor containing norbornene,
a widely used reactant for the tetrazine ligation. No large differences
were observed between the VBA and norbornene probes in a two-step
labeling approach with a cell-penetrable fluorescent tetrazine, indicating
that the VBA gives little or no side reactions with diols and can
be used efficiently for protein labeling in living cells.

Abstract
Protein glutathionylation is one of the major cysteine oxidative modifications in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS). We recently developed a clickable glutathione approach for detecting glutathionylation by using a glutathione synthetase mutant (GS M4) that synthesizes azido-glutathione (γGlu-Cys-azido-Ala) in situ in cells. In order to demonstrate the versatility of clickable glutathione and to increase the chemical tools for detecting glutathionylation, we sought to develop clickable glutathione that uses tetrazine-alkene bioorthogonal chemistry. Here we report two alkene-containing glycine surrogates (allyl-Gly and allyl-Ser) for the biosynthesis of clickable glutathione and their use for detection, enrichment, and identification of glutathionylated proteins. Our results provide chemical tools (allyl-Gly and allyl-Ser for GS M4) for versatile characterization of protein glutathionylation. In addition, we show that the active site of GS can be tuned to introduce a small size chemical tag on glutathione for exploring glutathione function in cells.
