Abstract
Viruses are simple yet highly pathogenic microorganisms that parasitize within cells and pose serious threats to the health, economic development, and social stability of both humans and animals. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the dynamic mechanism of virus infection in hosts. One effective way to achieve this is through virus tracking technology, which utilizes fluorescence imaging to track the life processes of virus particles in living cells in real-time, providing a comprehensively and detailed spatiotemporal dynamic process and mechanism of virus infection. This paper provides a broad overview of virus tracking technology, including the selection of fluorescent labels and virus labeling components, the development of imaging microscopes, and its applications in various virus studies. Additionally, we discuss the possibilities and challenges of its future development, offering theoretical guidance and technical support for effective prevention and control of the viral disease outbreaks and epidemics.

Abstract
Selective modification of peptides and proteins is of foremost importance for the development of biopharmaceuticals and exploring biochemical pathways, as well as other applications. Here, we present a study on the development of a general and easily applicable selective method for N-terminal acylation of biomolecules, applying a new type of phenol esters. Key to the success was the development of highly tunable phenol activators bearing in the ortho-position, sulfonic acid or sulfonamide, acting as a steric shield for hydrolysis, and electron-withdrawing groups in the other ortho- and para-position for controlling the reactivity of the activated phenol esters. A library of heptapeptides, testing all 20 natural amino acids positioned at the N-terminal, were acylated in a selective manner at the N-terminus. The majority showed high conversion and excellent Nα-selectivity. Several biologically relevant biomolecules, including DesB30 insulin and human growth hormone, could also be modified at the N-terminal in a highly selective way, exemplified by either a fluorophore or a fatty acid sidechain. Finally, taking advantage of the possibility to accurately adjust the reactivity of the phenol esters, we present a potential strategy for the construction of dual active biopharmaceuticals through the employment of a bifunctional acylation linker and demonstrate its use in the creation of a GLP-1 insulin analogue, coupled through the lysine residue of GLP-1 and the N-terminal PheB1 amine of DesB30 insulin.

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
Controlled surface functionalization with azides to perform on surface "click chemistry" is desired for a large range of fields such as material engineering and biosensors. In this work, the stability of an azido-containing self-assembled monolayer in high vacuum is investigated using in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The intensity of the antisymmetric azide stretching vibration is found to decrease over time, suggesting the degradation of the azido-group in high vacuum. The degradation is further investigated at three different temperatures and at seven different nitrogen pressures ranging from 1 × 10-6 mbar to 5 × 10-3 mbar. The degradation is found to increase at higher temperatures and at lower nitrogen pressures. The latter supporting the theory that the degradation reaction involves the decomposition into molecular nitrogen. For the condition with the highest degradation detected, only 63% of azides is found to remain at the surface after 8 h in vacuum. The findings show a significant loss in control of the surface functionalization. The instability of azides in high vacuum should therefore always be considered when depositing or postprocessing azido-containing layers.

Abstract
COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has developed into a global health crisis, causing over 2 million deaths and changing people's daily life the world over. Current main-stream diagnostic methods in the laboratory include nucleic acid PCR tests and direct viral antigen tests for detecting active infections, and indirect human antibody tests specific to SARS-CoV-2 to detect prior exposure. In this Perspective, we briefly describe the PCR and antigen tests and then focus mainly on existing antibody tests and their limitations including inaccuracies and possible causes of unreliability. False negatives in antibody immunoassays can arise from assay formats, selection of viral antigens and antibody types, diagnostic testing windows, individual variance, and fluctuation in antibody levels. Reasons for false positives in antibody immunoassays mainly involve antibody cross-reactivity from other viruses, as well as autoimmune disease. The spectrum bias has an effect on both the false negatives and false positives. For assay developers, not only improvement of assay formats but also selection of viral antigens and isotopes of human antibodies need to be carefully considered to improve sensitivity and specificity. For clinicians, the factors influencing the accuracy of assays must be kept in mind to test patients using currently imperfect but available tests with smart tactics and realistic interpretation of the test results.

Abstract
Photoactivatable fluorophores are emerging optical probes for biological applications. Most photoactivatable fluorophores are relatively large in size and need to be activated by ultraviolet light; this dramatically limits their applications. To introduce photoactivatable fluorophores into proteins, recent investigations have explored several protein-labeling technologies, including fluorescein arsenical hairpin (FlAsH) Tag, HaloTag labeling, SNAPTag labeling, and other bioorthogonal chemistry-based methods. However, these technologies require a multistep labeling process. Here, by using genetic code expansion and a single sulfur-for-oxygen atom replacement within an existing fluorescent amino acid, we have site-specifically incorporated the photoactivatable fluorescent amino acid thioacridonylalanine (SAcd) into proteins in a single step. Moreover, upon exposure to visible light, SAcd can be efficiently desulfurized to its oxo derivatives, thus restoring the strong fluorescence of labeled proteins.

Abstract
Cell-surface functionality is largely programmed by genetically encoded information through modulation of protein expression levels, including glycosylation enzymes. Genetic tools enable control over protein-based functionality, but are not easily adapted to recruit non-native functionality such as synthetic polymers and nanomaterials to tune biological responses and attach therapeutic or imaging payloads. Similar to how polymer-protein conjugation evolved from nonspecific PEGylation to site-selective bioconjugates, the same evolution is now occurring for polymer-cell conjugation. This Viewpoint discusses the potential of using metabolic glycan labeling to install bio-orthogonal reactive cell-surface anchors for the recruitment of synthetic polymers and nanomaterials to cell surfaces, exploring the expanding therapeutic and diagnostic potential. Comparisons to conventional approaches that target endogenous membrane components, such as hydrophobic, protein coupling and electrostatic conjugation, as well as enzymatic and genetic tools, have been made to highlight the huge potential of this approach in the emerging cellular engineering field.

Abstract
Sortase-mediated ligation is a powerful method for generating site-specifically modified proteins. However, this process is limited by the inherent reversibility of the ligation reaction. To address this, here we report the continued development and optimization of an experimentally facile strategy for blocking reaction reversibility. This approach, which we have termed metal-assisted sortase-mediated ligation (MA-SML), relies on the use of a solution additive (Ni2+) and a C-terminal tag (LPXTGGHH5) that is widely used for converting protein targets into sortase substrates. In a series of model systems utilizing a 1:1 molar ratio of sortase substrate and glycine amine nucleophile, we find that MA-SML consistently improves the extent of ligation. This enables the modification of proteins with fluorophores, PEG, and a bioorthogonal cyclooctyne moiety without the need to use precious reagents in excess. Overall, these results demonstrate the potential of MA-SML as a general strategy for improving reaction efficiency in a broad range of sortase-based protein engineering applications.

Abstract
![]()
Uncovering
the mechanisms of virus infection and assembly is crucial
for preventing the spread of viruses and treating viral disease. The
technique of single-virus tracking (SVT), also known as single-virus
tracing, allows one to follow individual viruses at different parts
of their life cycle and thereby provides dynamic insights into fundamental
processes of viruses occurring in live cells. SVT is typically based
on fluorescence imaging and reveals insights into previously unreported
infection mechanisms. In this review article, we provide the readers
a broad overview of the SVT technique. We first summarize recent advances
in SVT, from the choice of fluorescent labels and labeling strategies
to imaging implementation and analytical methodologies. We then describe
representative applications in detail to elucidate how SVT serves
as a valuable tool in virological research. Finally, we present our
perspectives regarding the future possibilities and challenges of
SVT.

Abstract
We have developed new benign palladium nanoparticles able to catalyze the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction on human thyroglobulin (Tg), a naturally iodinated protein produced by the thyroid gland, in homogenates from patients' tissues. This represents the first example of a chemoselective native protein modification using transition metal nanoobjects in near-organ medium.

Abstract
Peptides and proteins are involved in almost all biological events. In this review, three chemical biology tools, which were developed for peptide/protein sciences from a viewpoint of peptide/amide bond cleavage, are overviewed. First, study on an artificial amino acid that enables stimulus-responsive functional control of peptides/proteins is briefly described. Two N-S acyl transfer reaction-based tools, one a linker molecule for facile identification of target proteins of bioactive compounds and the other a reagent for selective labeling of proteins of interest, are then discussed.

Abstract
Inflammation is ubiquitous in the body, triggering desirable immune response to defend against dangerous signals or instigating undesirable damage to cells and tissues to cause disease. Nanomedicine holds exciting potential in modulating inflammation. In particular, cell membranes derived from cells involved in the inflammatory process may be used to coat nanotherapeutics for effective targeted delivery to inflammatory tissues. Herein, the recent progress of rationally engineering cell membrane-based nanotherapeutics for inflammation therapy is highlighted, and the challenges and opportunities presented in realizing the full potential of cell-membrane coating in targeting and manipulating the inflammatory microenvironment are discussed.

Bio-additive-based screening: toward evaluation of the biocompatibility of chemical reactions. Nat Protoc 2019; 14:2599-2626.

Abstract
A requirement for biochemical labeling strategies is a pronounced biocompatibility of the underlying reaction methodology. This protocol enables a systematic evaluation of the biocompatibility of (new) reaction methodologies that are potentially attractive for biochemical applications. The cellular environment for in vitro and in vivo applications is mimicked by the one-by-one addition of diverse bio-additives to the reaction. The influence of the bio-additives on the product yield, termed bio-robustness, is quantified by gas chromatography (GC) or NMR techniques, whereas qualitative analysis of the level of biomolecule preservation by ultra-HPLC-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) or gel electrophoresis enables monitoring of the effects of the reaction conditions on the biomolecule stability, e.g., bio-additive modification or degradation. The 22 chosen bio-additives and the required controls can be completely evaluated within 5-7 working days, depending on reaction time, instrument and the general equipment availability of the lab. We illustrate this protocol by assessing the reaction biocompatibility of a copper-catalyzed N-arylation of sulfonamides. The hereby obtained results are compared to those for a reaction that is characterized by high reaction biocompatibility: the energy-transfer-enabled disulfide-ene reaction.

Abstract
We reported an useful protocol for the labeling of the second domain of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 1 (VEGFR1D2), a small protein ligand able to bind VEGF, the main regulator of angiogenesis. We developed a bioconjugation strategy based on the use of oxime-ligation reaction conjugating an aldehyde derivative of the VEGFR1D2 to a molecular probe harboring an alkoxyamine functional group. We applied the synthetic protocol to prepare a biotinylated conjugate of VEGFR1D2 and we demonstrate that the bioconjugate retains its ability to specifically bind its natural ligand, VEGF, with high affinity. The biotinylated VEGFR1D2 could be useful to detect and quantify VEGF for diagnostic purposes as well as a tool for the screening of new molecules targeting VEGFRs for therapeutic applications. The labeling protocol is versatile and can be extended to different molecular probes, such as fluorophores, chelators or multimeric scaffolds, affording a biomedical platform for VEGF targeting.

Abstract
Re-engineering of mammalian cell surfaces with polymers enables the introduction of functionality including imaging agents, drug cargoes or antibodies for cell-based therapies, without resorting to genetic techniques. Glycan metabolic labeling has been reported as a tool for engineering cell surface glycans with synthetic polymers through the installation of biorthogonal handles, such as azides. Quantitative assessment of this approach and the robustness of the engineered coatings has yet to be explored. Here, we graft poly(hydroxyethyl acrylamide) onto azido-labeled cell surface glycans using strain-promoted azide-alkyne "click" cycloaddition and, using a combination of flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, evaluate the various parameters controlling the outcome of this "grafting to" process. In all cases, homogeneous cell coatings were formed with >95% of the treated cells being covalently modified, superior to nonspecific "grafting to" approaches. Controllable grafting densities could be achieved through modulation of polymer chain length and/or concentration, with longer polymers having lower densities. Cell surface bound polymers were retained for at least 72 h, persisting through several mitotic divisions during this period. Furthermore, we postulate that glycan/membrane recycling is slowed by the steric bulk of the polymers, demonstrating robustness and stability even during normal biological processes. This cytocompatible, versatile and simple approach shows potential for re-engineering of cell surfaces with new functionality for future use in cell tracking or cell-based therapies.

Abstract
Bioconjugation chemistry has been used to prepare modified biomolecules with functions beyond what nature intended. Central to these techniques is the development of highly efficient and selective bioconjugation reactions that operate under mild, biomolecule compatible conditions. Methods that form a nucleophile-sp2 carbon bond show promise for creating bioconjugates with new modifications, sometimes resulting in molecules with unparalleled functions. Here we outline and review sulfur, nitrogen, selenium, oxygen, and carbon arylative bioconjugation strategies and their applications to modify peptides, proteins, sugars, and nucleic acids.

[DOI: 10.2174/1570179416666190104141454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2018] [Revised: 10/04/2018] [Accepted: 12/28/2018] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Background:
1,2,3-triazoles are an important class of organic compounds and because of their
aromatic stability, they are not easily reduced, oxidized or hydrolyzed in acidic and basic environments.
Moreover, 1,2,3-triazole derivatives are known by their important biological activities and have drawn
considerable attention due to their variety of properties. The synthesis of this nucleus, based on the click
chemistry concept, through the 1,3-dipolar addition reaction between azides and alkynes is a well-known
procedure. This reaction has a wide range of applications, especially on the development of new drugs.
Methods:
The most prominent eco-friendly methods for the synthesis of triazoles under microwave irradiation
published in articles from 2012-2018 were reviewed.
Results:
In this review, we cover some of the recent eco-friendly CuAAC procedures for the click synthesis of
1,2,3-triazoles with remarks to new and easily recoverable catalysts, such as rhizobial cyclic β-1,2 glucan;
WEB (water extract of banana); biosourced cyclosophoraose (CyS); egg shell powder (ESP); cyclodextrin (β-
CD); fish bone powder; nanoparticle-based catalyst, among others.
Conclusion:
These eco-friendly procedures are a useful tool for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles, providing
many advantages on the synthesis of this class, such as shorter reaction times, easier work-up and higher yields
when compared to classical procedures. Moreover, these methodologies can be applied to the industrial
synthesis of drugs and to other areas.

Abstract
The novel "double strained alkyne" 3 has been prepared and evaluated in strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions with azides. The X-ray crystallographic structure of 3, which was prepared in one step from 1,1'-biphenyl-2,2',6,6'-tetrol 4, reveals the strained nature of the alkynes. Dialkyne 3 undergoes cycloaddition reactions with a number of azides, giving mixtures of regiosiomeric products in excellent yields. The monoaddition products were not observed or isolated from the reactions, suggesting that the second cycloaddition proceeds at a faster rate than the first, and this is supported by molecular modeling studies. Dialkyne 3 was successfully employed for "peptide stapling" of a p53-based diazido peptide, whereby two azides are bridged to give a product with a stabilized conformation.

Abstract
Site-selective lysine post-translational modifications such as acetylation, methylation, hydroxylation, and isopeptide formation mediate the precise control of important signaling events in cells with unmistakable accuracy. This unparalleled site selectivity (modification of a single lysine in a particular protein in the proteome) is still a challenge for non-enzymatic protein reactions; the difficulty lies in the differentiation of the lysine ε-amino group from other reactive groups and in the precise pinpointing of one particular lysine ε-amino group out of many other lysine ε-amino groups and the N-terminal amine of the protein that have similar chemical reactivity. Here, we have explored proximal lysine conjugation reactions through peptide-guided fluorodinitrobenzene, isothiocyanate, and phenyl ester reactions and have validated the site-specific targeting of the ε-amino group of one single lysine in natural proteins that contain multiple lysine residues. This precise site selectivity is a result of the proximity-induced reactivity guided by a specific protein-peptide interaction: the binding interaction preorganizes an amine-reactive group in the peptide and one of the lysine side chain ε-amino groups of the protein into close proximity, thereby confining the reactivity to a selected area of the target protein. The binding-guide lysine reactions were first examined on an SH3 domain and then tested on several ubiquitin-like proteins such as SUMO, Atg8 protein family, plant ATG8, and mammalian LC3 proteins that contain at least seven lysine residues on the surface. Exquisite site selectivity was confirmed in all of the proteins tested. A set of amine reactions were tested for their feasibility in the site-selective lysine reaction. Selected amine-reactive groups were optimized, and the reaction sites on the LC3 protein were confirmed by mass spectrometry.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of a bipyridyl reagent containing a strained alkyne, which significantly restricts its flexibility. Upon strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) with an azide, which does not require a Cu catalyst, the structure becomes significantly more flexible and an increase in fluorescence is observed. Upon addition of Zn(ii), the fluorescence is enhanced further. The reagent has the potential to act as a fluorescent labelling agent with azide-containing substrates, including biological molecules. A bipyridyl reagent containing a strained alkyne 7, reacts with benzyl azide to give a significantly more flexible product 10 and an increase in fluorescence is observed. Upon addition of Zn(ii), the fluorescence is enhanced further.![]()

Abstract
Methods for site-selective chemistry on proteins are in high demand for the synthesis of chemically modified biopharmaceuticals, as well as for applications in chemical biology, biosensors and more. Inadvertent N-terminal gluconoylation has been reported during expression of proteins with an N-terminal His tag. Here we report the development of this side-reaction into a general method for highly selective N-terminal acylation of proteins to introduce functional groups. We identify an optimized N-terminal sequence, GHHHn- for the reaction with gluconolactone and 4-methoxyphenyl esters as acylating agents, facilitating the introduction of functionalities in a highly selective and efficient manner. Azides, biotin or a fluorophore are introduced at the N-termini of four unrelated proteins by effective and selective acylation with the 4-methoxyphenyl esters. This Gly-Hisn tag adds the unique capability for highly selective N-terminal chemical acylation of expressed proteins. We anticipate that it can find wide application in chemical biology and for biopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Fluorogenic probes can be used to minimize the background fluorescence of unreacted and nonspecifically adsorbed reagents. The preceding years have brought substantial developments in the design and synthesis of bioorthogonally applicable fluorogenic systems mainly based on the quenching effects of azide and tetrazine moieties. The modulation power exerted by these bioorthogonal motifs typically becomes less efficient on more conjugated systems; that is, on probes with redshifted emission wavelength. To reach efficient quenching, that is, fluorogenicity, even in the red range of the spectrum, we present the synthesis, fluorogenic, and conjugation characterization of bistetrazine-cyanine probes with emission maxima between 600 and 620 nm. The probes can bind to genetically altered proteins harboring an 11-amino acid peptide tag with two appending cyclooctyne motifs. Moreover, we also demonstrate the use of these bistetrazines as fluorogenic, covalent cross-linkers between monocyclooctynylated proteins.

Abstract
We report a strategy to introduce a reactive electrophile into proteins through the conversion of a chemically inert group into a bioreactive group in response to an inducer molecule. This strategy was demonstrated by oxidation-induced and proximity-enhanced protein-protein crosslinking in the presence of a large excess of free nucleophile.

Abstract
A hallmark of cancer cells is a reversed transmembrane pH gradient, which could be exploited for robust and convenient intraoperative histopathological analysis. However, pathologically relevant pH changes are not significant enough for sensitive detection by conventional Henderson-Hasselbalch-type pH probes, exhibiting an acid-base transition width of 2 pH units. This challenge could potentially be addressed by a pH probe with a reduced acid-base transition width (i.e., Hill-type probe), appropriate p Ka, and membrane permeability. Yet, a guideline to allow rational design of such small-molecule Hill-type pH probes is still lacking. We have devised a novel molecular mechanism, enabled sequential protonation with high positive homotropic cooperativity, and synthesized small-molecule pH probes (PHX1-3) with acid-base transition ranges of ca. 1 pH unit. Notably, PHX2 has a p Ka of 6.9, matching the extracellular pH of cancer cells. Also, PHX2 is readily permeable to cell membrane and allowed direct mapping of both intra- and extracellular pH, hence the transmembrane pH gradient. PHX2 was successfully used for rapid and high-contrast distinction of fresh unprocessed biopsies of cancer cells from normal cells and therefore has broad potentials for intraoperative analysis of cancer surgery.

Abstract
Chemically constructed biosensors consisting of a protein scaffold and an artificial small molecule have recently been recognized as attractive analytical tools for the specific detection and real-time monitoring of various biological substances or events in cells. Conventionally, such semisynthetic biosensors have been prepared in test tubes and then introduced into cells using invasive methods. With the impressive advances seen in bioorthogonal protein conjugation methodologies, however, it is now becoming feasible to directly construct semisynthetic biosensors in living cells, providing unprecedented tools for life-science research. We discuss here recent efforts regarding the in situ construction of protein-based semisynthetic biosensors and highlight their uses in the visualization and quantification of biomolecules and events in multimolecular and crowded cellular systems.

Abstract

Virus
capsids, i.e., viruses devoid of their genetic material,
are suitable nanocarriers for biomedical applications such as drug
delivery and diagnostic imaging. For this purpose, the reliable encapsulation
of cargo in such a protein nanocage is crucial, which can be accomplished
by the covalent attachment of the compounds of interest to the protein
domains positioned at the interior of the cage. This approach is particularly
valid for the capsid proteins of the cowpea chlorotic mottle virus
(CCMV), which have their N-termini located at the inside of the capsid
structure. Here, we examined several site-selective modification methods
for covalent attachment and encapsulation of cargo at the N-terminus
of the CCMV protein. Initially, we explored approaches to introduce
an N-terminal azide functionality, which would allow the subsequent
bioorthogonal modification with a strained alkyne to attach the desired
cargo. As these methods showed compatibility issues with the CCMV
capsid proteins, a strategy based on 2-pyridinecarboxaldehydes for
site-specific N-terminal protein modification was employed. This method
allowed the successful modification of the proteins, and was applied
for the introduction of a bioorthogonal vinylboronic acid moiety.
In a subsequent reaction, the proteins could be modified further with
a fluorophore using the tetrazine ligation. The application of capsid
assembly conditions on the functionalized proteins led to successful
particle formation, showing the potential of this covalent encapsulation
strategy.

Abstract
N3-functionalized monolayers on silicon wafer substrates are prepared via the controlled vapor-phase deposition of 11-azidoundecyltrimethoxysilanes at reduced pressure and elevated temperature. The quality of the layer is assessed using contact angle, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and ellipsometry measurements. At 60 °C, longer deposition times are needed to achieve monolayers with similar N3 density compared to depositions at 145 °C. The monolayers formed via the vapor phase are denser compared to those formed via a solvent-based deposition process. ATR-FTIR measurements confirm the incorporation of azido-alkyl chains in the monolayer and the formation of siloxane bridges with the underlying oxide at both deposition temperatures. X-ray photon spectroscopy shows that the N3 group is oriented upward in the grafted layer. Finally, the density was determined using total reflection X-ray fluorescence after a click reaction with chlorohexyne and amounts to 2.5 × 1014 N3 groups/cm2. In summary, our results demonstrate the formation of a uniform and reproducible N3-containing monolayer on silicon wafers, hereby providing a functional coating that enables click reactions at the substrate.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry largely relies on the use of abiotic metals to catalyze new-to-nature reactions in living systems. Over the past decade, metal complexes and metal-encapsulated systems such as nanoparticles have been developed to unravel the reactivity of transition metals, including ruthenium, palladium, iridium, copper, iron, and gold in biological systems. Thanks to these remarkable achievements, abiotic catalysts are able to fluorescently label cells, uncage or form cytotoxic drugs and activate enzymes in cellulo/vivo. Recently, strategies for the delivery of such catalysts to specific cell types, cell compartments or proteins were established. These studies reveal the enormous potential of this emerging field and its application in both medicinal chemistry and in synthetic biology.

Abstract
To understand basic principles of living organisms one has to know many different properties of all cellular components, their mutual interactions but also their amounts and spatial organization. Live-cell imaging is one possible approach to obtain such data. To get multiple snapshots of a cellular process, the imaging approach has to be gentle enough to not disrupt basic functions of the cell but also have high temporal and spatial resolution to detect and describe the changes. Light microscopy has become a method of choice and since its early development over 300 years ago revolutionized our understanding of living organisms. As most cellular components are indistinguishable from the rest of the cellular contents, the second revolution came from a discovery of specific labelling techniques, such as fusions to fluorescent proteins that allowed specific tracking of a component of interest. Currently, several different tags can be tracked independently and this allows us to simultaneously monitor the dynamics of several cellular components and from the correlation of their dynamics to infer their respective functions. It is, therefore, not surprising that live-cell fluorescence microscopy significantly advanced our understanding of basic cellular processes. Current cameras are fast enough to detect changes with millisecond time resolution and are sensitive enough to detect even a few photons per pixel. Together with constant improvement of properties of fluorescent tags, it is now possible to track single molecules in living cells over an extended period of time with a great temporal resolution. The parallel development of new illumination and detection techniques allowed breaking the diffraction barrier and thus further pushed the resolution limit of light microscopy. In this review, we would like to cover recent advances in live-cell imaging technology relevant to bacterial cells and provide a few examples of research that has been possible due to imaging. This article is part of the themed issue ‘The new bacteriology’.

Abstract
Herein we present the synthesis and fluorogenic characterization of a series of double-quenched bisazide cyanine probes with emission maxima between 565 and 580 nm that can participate in covalent, two-point binding bioorthogonal tagging schemes in combination with bis-cyclooctynylated peptides. Compared to other fluorogenic cyanines, these double-quenched systems showed remarkable fluorescence intensity increase upon formation of cyclic dye-peptide conjugates. Furthermore, we also demonstrated that these bisazides are useful fluorogenic cross-linking platforms that are able to form a covalent linkage between monocyclooctynylated proteins.
