  • Title: A fast and activatable cross-linking strategy for hydrogel formation.
    Author: Jonker AM, Borrmann A, van Eck ER, van Delft FL, Löwik DW, van Hest JC.
    Journal: Adv Mater; 2015 Feb 18; 27(7):1235-40. PubMed ID: 25535032.
    Abstract:
    Strain-promoted oxidation-controlled cyclo-octyne-1,2-quinone cycloaddition (SPOCQ) is a fast and activatable cross-linking strategy for hydrogel formation. Gelation is induced by oxidation, which is performed both chemically using sodium periodate and enzymatically using mushroom tyrosinase. Due to the fast reaction kinetics, SPOCQ-formed hydrogels can be functionalized in one-pot with an azido-containing moiety using SPAAC cross-linking.
