Click chemistry describes a powerful set of chemical reactions that are rapid, selective, and produce high yields.[1] The most recognized of these reactions is the copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, which has been applied to diverse areas, ranging from materials science to chemical biology.[2–8] For biological applications, both azido and alkyne groups are considered to be bioorthogonal chemical reporters because they do not interact with any native biological functional groups. As a result, these bioorthogonal reporters can be incorporated into a target biomolecule using the cell’s biosynthetic machinery to provide chemical handles that can be subsequently tagged with exogenous probes. The bioorthogonal reporters are complementary to genetically encoded tags, such as green fluorescent protein (GFP),[9] and provide a powerful approach to tag biomolecules without the need of direct genetic encoding. Bioorthogonal labeling via click chemistry is highly sensitive with low background despite the complex cellular environment. In practice, however, the sensitivity is constrained by the abundance of the target molecules, the labeling efficiency of the chemical reporters, and the performance of the exogenous probes.[7] In almost all cases, bright and photostable probes are highly desirable, particularly for longterm tracking and sensitive detection of low-abundance biomolecules.Fluorescent nanoparticles such as quantum dots (Qdots) exhibit improved brightness and photostability over traditional fluorescent dyes.[10–12] In the context of click chemistry, however, the copper catalyst irreversibly quenches Qdot fluorescence and prevents their usage in the various applications based on copper-catalyzed click chemistry.[13] Because of copper’s cytotoxicity, copper-free bioorthogonal approaches, such as the Staudinger ligation and the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition, have been developed for live cell and in vivo applications.[7] Qdots can be employed in the copper-free methods,[13, 14] where their instability caused by copper is not an issue. However, Qdots’ intrinsic toxicity, caused by the leaching of heavy metal ions, is still a critical concern.
