Selective Cell Labeling through Enzyme-Mediated Click Reactions

Abstract

Selective cell labeling is the key to understanding of life processes. Here, we report an enzyme-mediated click reaction for selective cell labeling. Overexpressed alkaline phosphatase on target cells converts phosphorylated ascorbic acid, reducing Cu(II) to Cu(I), thereby catalyzing the click reaction for precise labeling.
