Dibenzocyclooctyne (ADIBO, DBCO) is one of the most reactive cycloalkynes for strain-promoted alkyne azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) – a copper-free click chemistry reaction.

DBCO reacts instantly with azides. The reaction rate is much higher than that of copper-catalyzed reaction, and reactions with many other cyclooctynes. Unlike some other cyclooctynes, DBCO does not react with tetrazines - this allows to carry out orthogonal conjugation of azides with DBCO, and trans-cyclooctenes with tetrazines.

This amine-reactive NHS ester provides easy attachment of the reactive moiety to almost any primary or secondary amine group, such as protein, peptide, or small molecule amine.

AmdU (5-Azidomethyl-2'-deoxyuridine)

Azidomethyldeoxyuridine (AmdU) is an azide-contained nucleoside that is incorporated into nascent DNA by cellular polymerases. The azide groups attached to DNA this way can be subsequently modified with alkynes or cycloalkynes via copper-catalyzed or strain-promoted click reaction.
