N3-TEMPO is a click chemistry reagent containing an azide group. It can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing alkyne groups, and ring strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups. Click chemistry is utilized in many research fields due to its high yield, high specificity, and simplicity, and has great potential for use in binding between nucleic acids, lipids, proteins, and other molecules.
