Chemoselective Labeling Techniques

Chemoselective labeling techniques involve attaching a specific tag or marker to a particular type of molecule within a complex mixture, such as a protein or hormone, without affecting other molecules. This process relies on unique chemical properties of the target molecule, allowing scientists to identify, track, or isolate it efficiently. These methods are essential in research and diagnostics, enabling precise study of biological systems, detection of diseases, or development of targeted therapies. By selectively labeling only the desired molecules, chemists can analyze complex samples with greater accuracy and specificity.
