Azides, which are extremely rare in biological systems, are emerging as attractive chemical handles for bioconjugation.[1–5] In particular, the CuI catalyzed 1, 3-dipolar cyclization of azides with terminal alkynes to give stable triazoles [6, 7] has been employed for the tagging of a variety of biomolecules,[8–12] activity-based protein profiling,[13] and the chemical synthesis of microarrays and small molecule libraries.[14]An attractive approach for installing azides into biomolecules is based on metabolic labeling whereby an azide-containing biosynthetic precursor is incorporated into biomolecules using the cells’ biosynthetic machinery.[15] This approach has been employed for tagging proteins, glycans, and lipids of living systems with a variety of reactive probes. These probes can facilitate the mapping of saccharide-selective glycoproteins and identify glycosylation sites.[16] Alkyne probes have also been used for cell surface imaging of azide-modified bio-molecules and a particularly attractive approach involves the generation of a fluorescent probe from a non-fluorescent precursor by a [3+ 2] cycloaddition.[17]
