Aqueous synthesis of a small-molecule lanthanide chelator amenable to copper-free click chemistry.
The lanthanides (Ln3+), or rare earth elements, have proven to be useful tools for biomolecular NMR, X-ray crystallographic, and fluorescence analyses due to their unique 4f orbitals. However, their utility in biological applications has been limited because site-specific incorporation of a chelatin...
