Riboflavin as a bioorthogonal photocatalyst
Chemistry • Condensed matter • DIPC Biochemistry • DIPC Photochemistry • Pharmacy
The combination of catalysis and bioorthogonality promises have an impact on drug discovery and bioimaging. Bioorthogonality, a term coined by Carolyn R. Bertozzi in 2003, refers to any chemical reaction that can occur inside of living systems without interfering with native biochemical processes. Hence, catalytic turnover can boost the efficiency of bioorthogonal chemical reactions, unveiling […]
