Abstract
The manuscript reports on 7-deazapurine and pyrimidine nucleoside and oligonucleotide cycloadducts formed by the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reaction with 3,6-di(pyrid-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine. Cycloadducts were constructed from ethynylated and vinylated nucleobases. Oligonucleotides were synthesized containing iEDDA modifications, and the impact on duplex stability was investigated. iEDDA reactions were performed on nucleoside triple bond side chains. Oxidation was not required in these cases as dihydropyridazine intermediates are not formed. In contrast, oxidation is necessary for reactions performed on alkenyl compounds. This was verified on 5-vinyl-2'-deoxyuridine. A diastereomeric mixture of 1,2-dihydropyridazine cycloadduct intermediates was isolated, characterized, and later oxidized. 12-mer oligonucleotides containing 1,2-pyridazine inverse Diels-Alder cycloadducts and their precursors were hybridized to short DNA duplexes. For that, a series of phosphoramidites was prepared. DNA duplexes with 7-functionalized 7-deazaadenines and 5-functionalized pyrimidines display high duplex stability when spacer units are present between nucleobases and pyridazine cycloadducts. A direct connectivity of the pyridazine moiety to nucleobases as reported for metabolic labeling of vinyl nucleosides reduced duplex stability strongly. Oligonucleotides bearing linkers with and without pyridazine cycloadducts attached to the 7-deazaadenine nucleobase significantly reduced mismatch formation with dC and dG.

Abstract
The use of unprotected carbohydrate-derived nitrones as partners in strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloadditions was investigated as a new tool for bioconjugation. The observed second-order reactions displayed rate constants of 3.4 × 10-4-5.8 × 10-2 M-1 s-1, which is the common order of magnitude of reaction kinetics with other simple aliphatic or aromatic nitrones. Applicability of this method to aqueous media was demonstrated by performing a one-pot protocol, which combines sequential formation of the nitrone and cycloaddition with cyclooctyne in water.

Abstract
While most FDA-approved peptide drugs are cyclic, robust cyclization chemistry of peptides and the deconvolution of the cyclic peptide sequences using tandem mass spectrometry render cyclic peptide drug discovery difficult. In this chapter, the protocol for the successful synthesis of tetrazine-linked cyclic peptide library in solid phase, which shows both robust cyclization and easy sequence deconvolution, is described. The protocol for the linearization and cleavage of cyclic peptides from the solid phase by simple UV light irradiation, followed by accurate sequencing using tandem mass spectrometry, is described. We describe the troubleshooting for this dithiol bis-arylation reaction and for the successful cleavage of the aryl cyclic peptide into linear form. This method for efficient solid-phase macrocyclization can be used for the rapid production of loop-based peptides and screening for inhibition of protein-protein interactions, by using the covalent inverse electron-demand Diels Alder reaction to supplement the non-covalent interaction between a protein and its peptide binder, isolating highly selective peptides in the process.

Abstract
We report a new reactivity for the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reaction between norbornene and tetrazine. Instead of simple 1:1 condensation between norbornene- and tetrazine-conjugated biomolecules, we observed that dimeric products were preferentially formed. As such, an olefinic intermediate formed after the addition of the first tetrazine unit to norbornene rapidly undergoes a consecutive cycloaddition reaction with a second tetrazine unit to result in a conjugate with a 1:2 stoichiometric ratio. This unexpected dimer formation was consistently observed in the reactions of both small-molecule norbornenes and tetrazines, as well as oligonucleotide conjugates. When norbornene was replaced with bicyclononyne to bypass the formation of this olefinic reaction intermediate, the reactions resulted exclusively in rapid formation of the expected 1:1 stoichiometric conjugates.

Abstract
While most FDA-approved peptide drugs are cyclic, the robust cyclization chemistry of peptides and the deconvolution of cyclic peptide sequences by using tandem mass spectrometry render cyclic peptide drug discovery difficult. Here we present the successful design of cyclic peptides on solid phase that addresses both of these problems. We demonstrate that this peptide cyclization method using dichloro-s-tetrazine on solid phase allows successful cyclization of a panel of random peptide sequences with various charges and hydrophobicities. The cyclic peptides can be linearized and cleaved from the solid phase by simple UV light irradiation, and we demonstrate that accurate sequence information can be obtained for the UV-cleaved linearized peptides by using tandem mass spectrometry. The tetrazine linker used in the cyclic peptides can further be explored for inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reactions for screening or bioconjugation applications in the future.

Abstract
Reactive RNA probes are useful for studying and identifying RNA-binding proteins. To that end, we designed and synthesized chloroacetamide-linked 7-deaza-ATP which was a good substrate for T7 RNA polymerase in in vitro transcription assay to synthesize reactive RNA probes bearing one or several reactive modifications. Modified RNA probes reacted with thiol-containing molecules as well as with cysteine- or histidine-containing peptides to form stable covalent products. They also reacted selectively with RNA-binding proteins to form cross-linked conjugates in high conversions thanks to proximity effect. Our modified nucleotide and RNA probes are promising tools for applications in RNA (bio)conjugations or RNA proteomics.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15121445.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal pretargeted imaging using the inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction between a tetrazine (Tz) and a trans-cyclooctene (TCO) represents an attractive strategy for molecular imaging via antibodies. The advantages of using a pretargeted imaging approach are on the one hand the possibility to achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio and imaging contrast; on the other hand, the method allows the uncoupling of the biological half-life of antibodies from the physical half-life of short-lived radionuclides. A brain-penetrating antibody (mAb) specific for β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques was functionalized with TCO moieties for pretargeted labeling of Aβ plaques in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo by a tritium-labeled Tz. The overall aim was to explore the applicability of mAbs for brain imaging, using a preclinical model system. In vitro clicked mAb-TCO-Tz was able to pass the blood-brain barrier of transgenic PS2APP mice and specifically visualize Aβ plaques ex vivo. Further experiments showed that click reactivity of the mAb-TCO construct in vivo persisted up to 3 days after injection by labeling Aβ plaques ex vivo after incubation of brain sections with the Tz in vitro. An attempted in vivo click reaction between injected mAb-TCO and Tz did not lead to significant labeling of Aβ plaques, most probably due to unfavorable in vivo properties of the used Tz and a long half-life of the mAb-TCO in the blood stream. This study clearly demonstrates that pretargeted imaging of CNS targets via antibody-based click chemistry is a viable approach. Further experiments are warranted to optimize the balance between stability and reactivity of all reactants, particularly the Tz.

Abstract
CRISPR-Cas technology has revolutionized genome editing. Its broad and fast-growing application in biomedical research and therapeutics has led to increased demand for guide RNAs. The synthesis of chemically modified single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) containing >100 nucleotides remains a bottleneck. Here we report the development of a tetrazine ligation method for the preparation of sgRNAs. A tetrazine moiety on the 3'-end of the crRNA and a norbornene moiety on the 5'-end of the tracrRNA enable successful ligation between crRNA and tracrRNA to form sgRNA under mild conditions. Tetrazine-ligated sgRNAs allow efficient genome editing of reporter and endogenous loci in human cells. High-efficiency editing requires structural optimization of the linker.

Abstract
RNA plays critical roles in a wide range of physiological processes. For example, it is well known that RNA plays an important role in regulating gene expression, cell proliferation, and differentiation, and many other chemical and biological processes. However, the research community still suffers from limited approaches that can be applied to readily visualize a specific RNA-of-interest (ROI). Several methods can be used to track RNAs; these rely mainly on biological properties, namely, hybridization, aptamer, reporter protein, and protein binding. With respect to covalent approaches, very few cases have been reported. Happily, several new methods for efficient labeling studies of ROIs have been demonstrated successfully in recent years. Additionally, methods employed for the detection of ROIs by RNA modifying enzymes have also proved feasible. Several approaches, namely, phosphoramidite chemistry, in vitro transcription reactions, co-transcription reactions, chemical post-modification, RNA modifying enzymes, ligation, and other methods targeted at RNA labeling have been revealed in the past decades. To illustrate the most recent achievements, this review aims to summarize the most recent research in the field of synthesis of RNAs-of-interest bearing a variety of unnatural nucleosides, the subsequent RNA labeling research via biocompatible ligation, and beyond.

Abstract
The introduction of chemical modifications into long RNA molecules at specific positions for visualization, biophysical investigations, diagnostic and therapeutic applications still remains challenging. In this review, we present recent approaches for covalent internal labeling of long RNAs. Topics included are the assembly of large modified RNAs via enzymatic ligation of short synthetic oligonucleotides and synthetic biology approaches preparing site-specifically modified RNAs via in vitro transcription using an expanded genetic alphabet. Moreover, recent approaches to employ deoxyribozymes (DNAzymes) and ribozymes for RNA labeling and RNA methyltransferase based labeling strategies are presented. We discuss the potentials and limits of the individual methods, their applicability for RNAs with several hundred to thousands of nucleotides in length and indicate future directions in the field.

Abstract
Labeling of nucleic acids is required for many studies aiming to elucidate their functions and dynamics in vitro and in cells. Out of the numerous labeling concepts that have been devised, covalent labeling provides the most stable linkage, an unrivaled choice of small and highly fluorescent labels and - thanks to recent advances in click chemistry - an incredible versatility. Depending on the approach, site-, sequence- and cell-specificity can be achieved. DNA and RNA labeling are rapidly developing fields that bring together multiple areas of research: on the one hand, synthetic and biophysical chemists develop new fluorescent labels and isomorphic nucleobases as well as faster and more selective bioorthogonal reactions. On the other hand, the number of enzymes that can be harnessed for post-synthetic and site-specific labeling of nucleic acids has increased significantly. Together with protein engineering and genetic manipulation of cells, intracellular and cell-specific labeling has become possible. In this review, we provide a structured overview of covalent labeling approaches for nucleic acids and highlight notable developments, in particular recent examples. The majority of this review will focus on fluorescent labeling; however, the principles can often be readily applied to other labels. We will start with entirely chemical approaches, followed by chemo-enzymatic strategies and ribozymes, and finish with metabolic labeling of nucleic acids. Each section is subdivided into direct (or one-step) and two-step labeling approaches and will start with DNA before treating RNA.

Abstract
Inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reactions between s-tetrazines and strained dienophiles have numerous applications in fluorescent labeling of biomolecules. Herein, we investigate the effect of the dienophile on the fluorescence enhancement obtained upon reaction with a tetrazine-quenched fluorophore and study the possible mechanisms of fluorescence quenching by both the tetrazine and its reaction products. The dihydropyridazine obtained from reaction with a strained cyclooctene shows a residual fluorescence quenching effect, greater than that exerted by the pyridazine arising from reaction with the analogous alkyne. Linear and ultrabroadband two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy experiments reveal that resonance energy transfer is the mechanism responsible for the fluorescence quenching effect of tetrazines, whereas a mechanism involving more intimate electronic coupling, likely photoinduced electron transfer, is responsible for the quenching effect of the dihydropyridazine. These studies uncover parameters that can be tuned to maximize fluorogenic efficiency in bioconjugation reactions and reveal that strained alkynes are better reaction partners for achieving maximum contrast ratio.

Abstract
Chemoselective transformations that work under physiological conditions have emerged as powerful tools to label nucleic acids in cell-free and cellular environments. However, detailed studies investigating the influence of nucleic acid conformation on the performance of such chemoselective nucleic labeling methods are less explored. Given that nucleic acids adopt complex structures, it is highly important to study the scope of the chemical modification method in the context of nucleic acid conformations. Here we report a systematic study on the effect of local conformation on the postsynthetic Suzuki-Miyaura functionalization of human telomeric (H-Telo) DNA repeat oligonucleotide (ON) sequences, which form multiple G-quadruplex (GQ) structures. 5-Iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IdU)-modified H-Telo ONs were synthesized by the solid-phase method, and when subjected to Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, its efficiency was found to depend on the type of conformation and the position of IdU label in different loops of the GQ structure. IdU-labeled GQs gave better yields as compared to single-stranded random coil structures. However, the IdU-labeled duplex under different ionic conditions did not undergo the coupling reaction. Further, using this method, we directly installed an environment-sensitive fluorescent probe, which photophysically reported the formation as well as distinguished different GQ topologies of telomeric repeat. Collectively, this systematic study underscores the influence of nucleic acid conformation, which has to be taken into account when establishing postsynthetic chemoselective functionalization strategies.

Abstract
6-Ethynyl-1,2,4-triazine is a small bioorthogonally reactive group we applied for fluorescent labeling of oligonucleotides by Diels-Alder reactions with inverse electron demand. We synthetically attached this functional group to the 7-position of 7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine triphosphate and to the 5-position of 2'-deoxyuridine triphosphate. Both modified nucleotide triphosphates were used in comparison for primer extension experiments (PEX) and PCR amplification to finally yield multilabeled oligonucleotides by the postsynthetic reaction with a highly reactive bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne-rhodamine conjugate. These experiments show that 6-ethynyl-1,2,4-triazine is much better tolerated by the DNA polymerase when attached to the 7-position of 7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine in comparison to the attachment at the 5-position of 2'-deoxyuridine. This became evident both by PAGE analysis of the PCR products and real-time kinetic observation of DNA polymerase activity during primer extension using switchSENSE. Generally, our results imply that bioorthogonal labeling strategies are better suited for 7-deaza-2'-adenosines than conventional and available 2'-deoxyuridines.

Abstract
RNA is often considered as being the vector for the transmission of genetic information from DNA to the protein synthesis machinery. However, besides translation RNA participates in a broad variety of fundamental biological roles such as gene expression and regulation, protein synthesis, and even catalysis of chemical reactions. This variety of function combined with intricate three-dimensional structures and the discovery of over 100 chemical modifications in natural RNAs require chemical methods for the modification of RNAs in order to investigate their mechanism, location, and exact biological roles. In addition, numerous RNA-based tools such as ribozymes, aptamers, or therapeutic oligonucleotides require the presence of additional chemical functionalities to strengthen the nucleosidic backbone against degradation or enhance the desired catalytic or binding properties. Herein, the two main methods for the chemical modification of RNA are presented: solid-phase synthesis using phosphoramidite precursors and the enzymatic polymerization of nucleoside triphosphates. The different synthetic and biochemical steps required for each method are carefully described and recent examples of practical applications based on these two methods are discussed.

Abstract
We synthesized a small library of eighteen 5-substituted pyrimidine or 7-substituted 7-deazapurine nucleoside triphosphates bearing methyl, ethynyl, phenyl, benzofuryl or dibenzofuryl groups through cross-coupling reactions of nucleosides followed by triphosphorylation or through direct cross-coupling reactions of halogenated nucleoside triphosphates. We systematically studied the influence of the modification on the efficiency of T7 RNA polymerase catalyzed synthesis of modified RNA and found that modified ATP, UTP and CTP analogues bearing smaller modifications were good substrates and building blocks for the RNA synthesis even in difficult sequences incorporating multiple modified nucleotides. Bulky dibenzofuryl derivatives of ATP and GTP were not substrates for the RNA polymerase. In the case of modified GTP analogues, a modified procedure using a special promoter and GMP as initiator needed to be used to obtain efficient RNA synthesis. The T7 RNA polymerase synthesis of modified RNA can be very efficiently used for synthesis of modified RNA but the method has constraints in the sequence of the first three nucleotides of the transcript, which must contain a non-modified G in the +1 position.

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
Pd-catalyzed C-C bond formation, an important vertebra in the spine of synthetic chemistry, is emerging as a valuable chemoselective transformation for post-synthetic functionalization of biomacromolecules. While methods are available for labeling protein and DNA, development of an analogous procedure to label RNA by cross-coupling reactions remains a major challenge. Herein, we describe a new Pd-mediated RNA oligonucleotide (ON) labeling method that involves post-transcriptional functionalization of iodouridine-labeled RNA transcripts by using Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. 5-Iodouridine triphosphate (IUTP) is efficiently incorporated into RNA ONs at one or more sites by T7 RNA polymerase. Further, using a catalytic system made of Pd(OAc)2 and 2-aminopyrimidine-4,6-diol (ADHP) or dimethylamino-substituted ADHP (DMADHP), we established a modular method to functionalize iodouridine-labeled RNA ONs in the presence of various boronic acid and ester substrates under very mild conditions (37°C and pH 8.5). This method is highly chemoselective, and offers direct access to RNA ONs labeled with commonly used fluorescent and affinity tags and new fluorogenic environment-sensitive nucleoside probes in a ligand-controlled stereoselective fashion. Taken together, this simple approach of generating functional RNA ON probes by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling will be a very important addition to the resources and tools available for analyzing RNA motifs.

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
Cell-specific proteomics in multicellular systems and whole animals is a promising approach to understand the differentiated functions of cells and tissues. Here, we extend our stochastic orthogonal recoding of translation (SORT) approach for the co-translational tagging of proteomes with a cyclopropene-containing amino acid in response to diverse codons in genetically targeted cells, and create a tetrazine-biotin probe containing a cleavable linker that offers a way to enrich and identify tagged proteins. We demonstrate that SORT with enrichment, SORT-E, efficiently recovers and enriches SORT tagged proteins and enables specific identification of enriched proteins via mass spectrometry, including low-abundance proteins. We show that tagging at distinct codons enriches overlapping, but distinct sets of proteins, suggesting that tagging at more than one codon enhances proteome coverage. Using SORT-E, we accomplish cell-specific proteomics in the fly. These results suggest that SORT-E will enable the definition of cell-specific proteomes in animals during development, disease progression, and learning and memory. A tetrazine-biotin probe containing a cleavable linker was created Proteomes labeled with cyclopropene amino acids were enriched and identified Proteome coverage is increased by targeting the amino acids to multiple codons Cell-specific proteomics was accomplished in the fly

Abstract
A new method for the post-synthetic modification of nucleic acids was developed that involves mixing a phenyl triazolinedione (PTAD) derivative with DNA containing a vinyl nucleobase. The resulting reactions proceeded through step-wise mechanisms, giving either a formal [4+2] cycloaddition product, or, depending on the context of nucleobase, PTAD addition along with solvent trapping to give a secondary alcohol in water. Catalyst-free addition between PTAD and the terminal alkene of 5-vinyl-2'-deoxyuridine (VdU) was exceptionally fast, with a second-order rate constant of 2×103 m-1 s-1 . PTAD derivatives selectively reacted with VdU-containing oligonucleotides in a conformation-selective manner, with higher yields observed for G-quadruplex versus duplex DNA. These results demonstrate a new strategy for copper-free bioconjugation of DNA that can potentially be used to probe nucleic acid conformations in cells.

Abstract
The development of modular and efficient methods to functionalize RNA with biophysical probes is very important in advancing the understanding of the structural and functional relevance of RNA in various cellular events. Herein, we demonstrate a two-step bioorthogonal chemical functionalization approach for the conjugation of multiple probes onto RNA transcripts using a 5-vinyl-modified uridine nucleotide analog (VUTP). VUTP, containing a structurally noninvasive and versatile chemoselective handle, was efficiently incorporated into RNA transcripts by in vitro transcription reactions. Furthermore, we show for the first time the use of a palladium-mediated oxidative Heck reaction in functionalizing RNA with fluorogenic probes by reacting vinyl-labeled RNA transcripts with appropriate boronic acid substrates. The vinyl label also permitted the post-transcriptional functionalization of RNA by a reagent-free inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction in the presence of tetrazine substrates. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the incorporation of VUTP provides newer possibilities for the modular functionalization of RNA with variety of reporters.

Abstract
Bio-orthogonal labelling schemes based on inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) cycloaddition have attracted much attention in chemical biology recently. The appealing features of this reaction, such as the fast reaction kinetics, fully bio-orthogonal nature and high selectivity, have helped chemical biologists gain deeper understanding of biochemical processes at the molecular level. Listing the components and discussing the possibilities and limitations of these reagents, we provide a recent snapshot of the field of IEDDA-based biomolecular manipulation with special focus on fluorescent modulation approaches through the use of bio-orthogonalized building blocks. At the end, we discuss challenges that need to be addressed for further developments in order to overcome recent limitations and to enable researchers to answer biomolecular questions in more detail.

Abstract
The development of robust tools and practical RNA labeling strategies that would facilitate the biophysical analysis of RNA in both cell-free and cellular systems will have profound implications in the discovery of new RNA diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies. In this context, we describe the development of a new alkyne-modified UTP analog, 5-(1,7-octadinyl)uridine triphosphate (ODUTP), which serves as an efficient substrate for the introduction of a clickable alkyne label into RNA transcripts by bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase and mammalian cellular RNA polymerases. The ODU-labeled RNA is effectively used by reverse transcriptase to produce cDNA, a property which could be utilized in expanding the chemical space of a RNA library in the aptamer selection scheme. Further, the alkyne label on RNA provides a convenient tool for the posttranscriptional chemical functionalization with a variety of biophysical tags (fluorescent, affinity, amino acid and sugar) by using alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction. Importantly, the ability of endogenous RNA polymerases to specifically incorporate ODUTP into cellular RNA transcripts enabled the visualization of newly transcribing RNA in cells by microscopy using click reactions. In addition to a clickable alkyne group, ODU contains a Raman scattering label (internal disubstituted alkyne), which exhibits characteristic Raman shifts that fall in the Raman-silent region of cells. Our results indicate that an ODU label could potentially facilitate two-channel visualization of RNA in cells by using click chemistry and Raman spectroscopy. Taken together, ODU represents a multipurpose ribonucleoside tool, which is expected to provide new avenues to study RNA in cell-free and cellular systems.

Abstract
Cycloaddition reactions for site-specific or global modification of nucleic acids have enabled the preparation of a plethora of previously inaccessible DNA and RNA constructs for structural and functional studies on naturally occurring nucleic acids, the assembly of nucleic acid nanostructures, therapeutic applications, and recently, the development of novel aptamers. In this chapter, recent progress in nucleic acid functionalization via a range of different cycloaddition (click) chemistries is presented. At first, cycloaddition/click chemistries already used for modifying nucleic acids are summarized, ranging from the well-established copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction to copper free methods, such as the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition, tetrazole-based photoclick chemistry and the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction between strained alkenes and tetrazine derivatives. The subsequent sections contain selected applications of nucleic acid functionalization via click chemistry; in particular, site-specific enzymatic labeling in vitro, either via DNA and RNA recognizing enzymes or by introducing unnatural base pairs modified for click reactions. Further sections report recent progress in metabolic labeling and fluorescent detection of DNA and RNA synthesis in vivo, click nucleic acid ligation, click chemistry in nanostructure assembly and click-SELEX as a novel method for the selection of aptamers.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal reactions have been widely used over the last 10 years for imaging, detection, diagnostics, drug delivery, and biomaterials. Tetrazine reactions are a recently developed class of inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reactions used in bioorthogonal applications. Given their rapid tunable reaction rate and highly fluorogenic properties, tetrazine bioorthogonal reactions have come to be considered highly attractive tools for elucidating biological functions and messages in vitro and in vivo. In this chapter, we present recent advances expanding the scope of precursor reactivity and we introduce new biomedical methodology based on bioorthogonal tetrazine chemistry. We specifically highlight novel applications for different kinds of biomolecules, including nucleic acid, protein, antibodies, lipids, glycans, and bioactive small molecules, in the areas of imaging, detection, and diagnostics. We also briefly present other recently developed inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder bioorthogonal reactions. Lastly, we consider future directions and potential roles that inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reactions may play in the fields of bioorthogonal and biomedical chemistry.

Abstract
Labeling RNAs is of particular interest for elucidating localization, transport, and regulation of specific transcripts, ideally in living cells. Numerous methods have been developed ranging from hybridizing probes to genetically encoded reporters and chemo-enzymatic approaches. This review focuses on covalent labeling approaches that rely on the introduction of a small reactive group into the nascent or completed transcript followed by bioorthogonal click chemistry. State of the approaches for labeling RNA in fixed and living cells will be presented and emerging strategies with great potential for application in the complex cellular environment will be discussed.
