Description

Krishanu Ghosal, Swarup Krishna Bhattacharyya, Vivek Mishra and Han Zuilhof review click chemistry for biofunctional polymers in this 2024 Europe PMC paper. Click reactions are prized because they are high-yielding, mild and need little cleanup, which makes them ideal for building and decorating polymer materials for biology.

The review walks through reaction families, from azide-alkyne cycloadditions and thiol clicks to Diels-Alder, tetrazole and sulfur fluoride exchange reactions. It then surveys uses split into passive roles such as biosensing and bioimaging, and active roles that steer living systems, including drug delivery, antiviral action and tissue engineering. Future challenges for medicine and clinical use close the survey.
