A method is described for modifying the surface of upconverting microparticles (UCμPs) and nanoparticles (UCNPs) such that they become amenable to click chemistry. Respective reagents are presented and used in both kinds of particles, either directly or in combination with tetraethoxysilane. The particles also were labeled by using the click reaction, a) with fluorophores to yield materials that have emission colors that depend on the wavelength of excitation ; b) with maleinimido groups (so to obtain labels for thiols), and c)with biotin (to make them useful for affinity studies based on the biotin-streptavidin system). We believe that both the UCμPs and UCNPs have the potential of being used in numerous areas including upconversion imaging, biolabeling, and derivatization, but also in encoding and security.

Cell-cell interactions play a crucial role in the development and function of multicellular organisms. To study cell-cell interactions in vitro, it is a big challenge for researchers to artificially build up cell junctions to bridge different types of cells for this purpose. Herein, by employing two orthogonal click reactions, we rationally designed four click reagents Mal-CBT, Mal-Cys, Mal-Alkyne, and Mal-N3 and successfully applied them to bridge cells of three colors. Orthogonality between these two click reactions was validated in solution and characterized with HPLC and ESI-MS analyses. After modifications of fluorescent protein-expressing prokaryotic Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells (or eukaryotic HEK 293T cells) of three colors with the reagents Mal-Cys, Mal-CBT and Mal-Alkyne, or Mal-N3, the cells were sequentially bridged. The HEK 293T cells showed a higher efficiency of cell bridging than the E. coli cells. Finally, using optical tweezers, we quantitatively measured the bridging probability between Mal-Cys-modified and Mal-CBT-modified HEK 293 cells, as well as the rupture force between two bridged cells. We found that the CBT-Cys click reaction markedly improved the efficiency of cell bridging and the rupture force between two bridged cells was measured to be 153.8 pN at a force-loading rate of 49 pN s-1. Our results demonstrate that it is possible to use two (or n) orthogonal click reactions to bridge three (or n + 1) types of cells. Taking the biological importance of cell junctions into consideration, we anticipate that our method of bridging three types of cells with two bio-orthogonal click reactions will be a useful tool for biologists to study cell-cell interactions with more convenience and efficiency.

The ligation of gold(I) metalloamphiphiles with biomolecules is reported, using water-soluble AuI-N-alkynyl substituted maleimide complexes. For this purpose, two different polar ligands were applied: 1) a neutral, dendritic tetraethylene glycol-functionalized phosphane and 2) a charged, sulfonated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC). The retro Diels–Alder reaction of a furan-protected maleimide gold(I) complex, followed by cycloaddition with a diene-functionalized biotin under mild conditions leads to a novel gold(I) metalloamphiphile. The strong streptavidin–biotin binding affinity in buffered aqueous solution of the resulting biotin alkynyl gold(I) phosphane conjugate remains intact. The cytotoxicity of the biotinylated gold(I) complex against a T47D human breast cancer cell line is higher than for cisplatin.
