Abstract:Dual labeling of an RNA can provide FRET sensors for studying RNA folding, miRNA maturation, and RNAprotein interactions. Here we report the development of a highly efficient strategy for direct dual-terminal labeling of any RNA of interest. We explored new Michael cycloaddition for facile labeling of 5'-terminal RNA with improved efficiency. Direct chemical tetrazinylation of RNA at 3'-terminus was achieved with the highly efficient and catalysis-free tetrazine-cycloalkyne ligation. The both single-terminal l… Show more
“…5 a Researchers have also achieved multiple labelling and imaging of glycans, 6 plant cell walls, 7 and nucleic acids. 8 In prior work, we reported a new Michael cycloaddition and its application for dual labelling of an RNA in one pot. 8 c Here, we report mechanistic insights into the reaction of DPCP ( 1 ) with 1,2-aminothiol and the dual labelling of N -terminal Cys ( N -Cys).…”
Selective reaction of diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) and 1,2-aminothiol in water at pH 7.4 produces an amide conjugate with releasing the thiol. In addition, structural modifications of DPCP enable the coupling rate...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
