Chemists uncover powerful new click chemistry reactivity

Chemists led by Nobel laureate K. Barry Sharpless at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have used his click chemistry to uncover unprecedented, powerful reactivity for making new drugs, diagnostics, plastics, smart materials ...

New 'click' reaction: Chemistry applicable to living organisms

Two CEA-Ibitec-S teams have developed a new "click" chemistry process for specific assembly of two components without modifying their properties or the medium in which the reaction takes place. The process can be carried ...

Click chemistry with copper -- a biocompatible version

Berkeley Lab researchers have found a way to make copper-catalyzed click chemistry biocompatible. By adding a ligand that minimizes the toxicity of copper but still allows it to catalyze the click chemistry reaction, the ...

Copper-Free Click Chemistry Used in Mice

(PhysOrg.com) -- For the first time, the widely used molecular synthesis technique known as click chemistry has been safely applied to a living organism. A team of Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley researchers has developed a ...
