Things To Know About Dibenzocyclooctyne Groups

By Janet Barnes


There are several elements in chemistry which were given quite much attention because of the properties they posses which were suitable for many kind of experiment. One of which is the dibenzocyclooctyne or DBCO because this element is known to be thermally stable in terms of high specific reactivity towards the azide group. This is done through a strain promoted of click reactions without any presence of catalyst on the process. This ligation reaction is quite fast and its result shows in a quantitative yield of some stable triazoles. This is proven so long as its within the physiological temperatures as well as some pH ranges.

These groups are not usually to react on the amines or hydroxyls which were typically seen and present on some if not all biomolecules. Thus, it has found a broad application in means of studying the dynamic biological systems like the live cells, whole organisms as well as the liv animals.

There said to be a ligation reaction in which responsible for the fast result that has been showing in the quantitative yield of several triazoles which were known to be stable. But, there were few considerations which could make it successful though. Like for example, it has to have a physiological temperature and have pH range.

These groups are as well found to be highly reactant to hydroxyls or amines. Such materials are mostly on biomolecules but not all these has the same amount. Because of that, they have found out that its application could help in improving the dynamics of biological systems. That marks a valid point in the study of live cells and the organisms on liv animals they were studying along.

It also has a mild condition which can be considered in contrast to other elements. It shows on the conjugation of which to the aqueous buffered media at a relatively low temperature. The result sure is quite minimal and mild which somehow is not compatible to other forms of reaction.

That is not only the case, it has also been done while they are turning over to nucleic acid and its immobilization to make the tracking. This also has a strange capability of allowing a lipid labeling mostly on the living cells. These cells are usually of live animals which were part of the certain study.

The conjugation chemistry is merely based on reaction of the dibenzocyclooctyne groups with the azide linker which then can form the stable triazole. It is quite rapid when done in a room temperature. It would normally nor require the catotoxic to even react that way.

All in all, this has a really unique and one of a kind covalent bond which were created when it is conjugated with some type of biomolecules. It then will react to a new azide linker which is incorporated to a second biomolecule. To compare it with other dibenzocyclooctyne reagents, its longer stability would pop out of its capability and characteristic.

But, it is different when exposed to the azide moieties. This shows a strong stability that is in fact known to last a long term. They have successfully implied an efficiency characteristic and property to that. As a result, they have created triazoles highly stable in a quantitative yield and that right there is already something remarkable.
