The Enzymatic Transfer of Strained Ring Containing Bioorthogonal Tags
The most common ways to conduct bioorthogonal reactions— reactions that can proceed independently despite being in the midst of other potentially reactive materials— involves copper catalysts and can be toxic for the biological system being studied. This project looks at new ways to conduct bioorthogonal reactions without toxic copper catalysts. It will specifically determine the concentrations of material that is necessary for such reactions to occur.
This project is funded by a Small-scale 3M Collaborative Student-Faculty Research Grant.
