Description
In Vitro
DMPE-PEG5000-Azide is used as a core component in the preparation of liposomes or lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to encapsulate drugs or genes. Containing the Azide group, DMPE-PEG5000-Azide can undergo a copper-catalyzed azido-alkynylene cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo a ring-strain-driven alkynylene-azido cycloaddition reaction (SPAAC) with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Further protocols information, click here.

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.
