Significance

The introduction of bioorthogonal reactions has enabled tremendous advances in chemical biology. The authors designed two new, mutually orthogonal pairs by electronic tuning of S-, N-, and O-containing cyclooctynes (SNO-OCTs). The reported system should prove to be a useful tool for future in cellulo investigations.

Comment

Using computational and experimental studies, the authors were able to design cyclooctynes with orthogonal reactivities. By including a previously reported boronic acid/hydrazine pair, the authors were able to obtain a triple ligation system and demonstrated its utility through protein and cellular labeling assays.
