BG-Tetrazine
BG-Tetrazine (BG-Tz; SNAP-Tetrazine) is a SNAP tag substrate that contains a methyl tetrazine group. BG-Tetrazine can specifically covalently label the target protein of the intracellular SNAP-tag fusion. The tetrazine group it carries can rapidly and efficiently undergo a bioorthogonal reaction with functional groups such as trans cyclooctene (TCO), thereby enabling multiple labeling, functionalization or enrichment of proteins. BG-Tetrazine can be applied in click chemistry.

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.
