A variety of new chemical methods which can be combined with biological techniques have been actively investigated, for example, the Cu-mediated Meldal/Sharpless click reaction with azide genetically introduced at desired positions within proteins.

A Hydrophilic Azacyclooctyne for Cu-Free Click Chemistry

Generated in nine steps from a glucose analogue, DIMAC reacted with azide-labeled proteins and cells similarly to cyclooctynes, however, its superior polarity and water solubility reduced nonspecific binding, thereby improving the sensitivity of azide detection.

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

There has been a lack of analogous labeling techniques available for imaging biomolecules not directly encoded by the genome, including glycans, lipids and other metabolites, as a result of a lag in cell-based studies of these molecules.
