3-Azidopropyl-1-maleimide
1-(3-Azidopropyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione is a maleimide derivative with a 3-azidopropyl substituent, used to introduce an azide functional group to bovine serum albumin (BSA). 1-(3-Azidopropyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione reacts with the free, solvent-accessible thiol group of BSA to produce azide-functionalized BSA, which is used in click chemistry to form a TLL-BSA hetero-dimer.

EdU Incorporation Assay (Click Chemistry-Based DNA Synthesis Measurement)
The EdU incorporation assay measures DNA synthesis by adding the thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine to cells or tissues, where it is incorporated into newly synthesized DNA during S phase. Incorporated EdU is detected by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, in which a fluorescent azide covalently reacts with the ethynyl group on EdU, allowing S-phase cells to be detected by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or high-content imaging. EdU detection does not require DNA denaturation or anti-BrdU antibody access, which preserves sample structure and improves compatibility with immunostaining and multiparameter cytometry compared with BrdU-based detection. EdU can be cytotoxic in a cell-type- and exposure-dependent manner, so pulse duration, concentration, and continuous-labeling designs should be validated for each cell type.
