Diazoacetyl groups have been shown to undergo spontaneous cycloaddition reactions with strained alkenes and alkynes. The rates of reaction are similar to the equivalent reactions of azide groups. This allows diazo groups to be used as bioorthogonal reporter groups. This is demonstrated by fluorescent labelling of a diazoacetylated protein and of cell-surface glycans via metabolic incorporation of a diazoacetylated sugar. This journal is

Page/Page column 38; 39, (2020/05/28)
The invention provides conjugates that comprise a bivalent targeting moiety, a nucleic acid, and optional linking groups as well as synthetic intermediates and synthetic methods useful for preparing the conjugates, compositions comprising the bidentate targeting ligands and the conjugates, as well as methods for targeting therapeutic nucleic acids with the bidentate conjugates. The conjugates are useful to target therapeutic nucleic acids.

The invention provides methods and compositions for delivering a nucleic acid to a cell or the cytosol of the target cell. The method includes contacting the cell with, 1) a membrane-destabilizing polymer; and 2) a nucleic acid conjugate. The nucleic acid conjugate includes a targeting ligand bound to an optional linker and a nucleic acid.

Eight N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate and N-acetylgalactosamine-1-phosphate analogs have been synthesized chemically and were tested for their recognition by the GlmU uridyltransferase enzyme. Among these, only substrates that have an amide linkage to the C-2 nitrogen were transferred by GlmU to afford their corresponding uridine diphosphate(UDP)-sugar nucleotides. Resin-immobilized GlmU showed comparable activity to nonimmobilized GlmU and provides a more facile final step in the synthesis of an unnatural UDP-donor. The synthesized unnatural UDP-donors were tested for their activity as substrates for glycosyltransferases in the preparation of unnatural glycosaminoglycans in vitro. A subset of these analogs was useful as donors, increasing the synthetic repertoire for these medically important polysaccharides.
