Click chemistry in solving protein 3-D structures

Long live protein chemistry! Early days saw the use of cross-linking reagents such as DCC to lock in spatially adjacent amino groups within proteins. Nowadays the progress of mass spectrometry and proteomics has greatly enhanced the ability to study protein 3-D structures and protein interactions. Here a group of researchers went to click chemistry for additional assistance. Anal Chem 2012, 2662

1. the first, main option, central and most authoritative publication in click chemistry

2. a new hub, new forum and breeding ground for collaborations between disciplines united by the philosophy of click chemistry 

Journal Editor   Dominic V. McGrath, Universityof Arizona, USA
ISSN: 2299-3932 (electronic version); 
Owner: Versita, Warsaw, Poland
