# Click chemistry

Click chemistry describes a class of fast, selective, high-yielding reactions suited to joining molecular building blocks, the best known being the copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. Peptides bearing azide or alkyne handles can be conjugated to labels, polymers or other peptides under mild conditions with click chemistry.
