Radiolabelling of proteins with fluorine-18 via click chemistry

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Dec 28:(48):7521-3. doi: 10.1039/b916075b. Epub 2009 Nov 4.

Abstract

The study describes for the first time the application of Cu(I)-mediated 1,3-dipolar [3+2]cycloaddition for the labelling of proteins with the short-lived positron emitter fluorine-18 as exemplified with azide-functionalized human serum albumin (HSA).
