General description

Azidobenzene is an aromatic azide generally used in copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions.
Azidobenzene solution can undergo click reaction with alkyne-functionalized oligomers to form O-ester-functionalized o-phenylenes, a group of aromatic foldamers with a good folding tendency in most solvents.

We have used photo-crosslinking to investigate the structure and dynamics of four-way junction hairpin ribozyme constructs. Four phenylazide photo-crosslinkers were coupled to 2'-NH2-modified U+2 in the substrate and irradiated at different Mg2+ concentrations and temperatures. Consistent with the role of
