“Clickable” Nanoparticles for Targeted Imaging

Nanomaterials functionalized with targeting ligands are increasingly recognized as useful materials for molecular imaging and drug delivery. Here we describe the development and validation of azide–alkyne reactions (“click chemistry”) for the rapid, site-specific modification of nanoparticles with s...
