Bioorthogonal Chemistry in Biology and Medicine

Abstract

Chakraborty P

Bioorthogonal chemistry and reactions developed from innovations in chemistry, having their excellent biocompatibility can be applied in various biological reactions. As these reactions, does not interfere with other reactions in the biological system, they can be used as excellent tools for tracking and studying dynamics of various biological processes. In this mini review, only the applications of bioorthogonal chemistry in host-microbe interaction and targeted therapy are discussed.
