Abstract: | Herein, we give the very first example for the development of a fluorogenic molecular probe that combines the two‐point binding specificity of biarsenical‐based dyes with the robustness of bioorthogonal click‐chemistry. This proof‐of‐principle study reports on the synthesis and fluorogenic characterization of a new, double‐quenched, bis‐azide fluorogenic probe suitable for bioorthogonal two‐point tagging of small peptide tags by double strain‐promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition. The presented probe exhibits remarkable increase in fluorescence intensity when reacted with bis‐cyclooctynylated peptide sequences, which could also serve as possible self‐labeling small peptide tag motifs. |
