Click chemistry, also known as rapid coupling or modular chemistry, is a synthetic method that rapidly combines two molecules in aqueous environments. Due to its high synthetic efficiency and green chemistry characteristics, it is currently a highly popular and novel field in chemistry.
Click chemistry occurs continuously within organisms, playing a crucial role in life's survival and metabolism, primarily involving amino acids and carbohydrates. With just over twenty types of molecules, amino acids can generate millions of complex molecules. Amino acids possess foundational yet versatile characteristics, akin to assembling building blocks, inspiring scholars in the application and research of click chemistry.
We have discovered for the first time that amino acid molecules can be catalyzed under specific conditions to exhibit the ability to spatially recognize and bind to particular molecules. They demonstrate characteristics resembling self-assembly and synthesis akin to molecular factories. This discovery challenges previous understandings of amino acid science and click chemistry. We have named it the Metal Amino Click Synthesis system (MACS).
Metal Amino Click Synthesis (MACS) technology is an innovative method that uses click chemistry principles to seamlessly integrate amino acids with target molecules. This technology enables the mass production of high-purity, eco-friendly amino acid chelates.
MACS enables rapid coupling of amino acids with highly water-insoluble metal molecules.
MACS is a synthesis technology that produces pure products without contaminating by-products.
MACS demonstrates the ability of molecules to self-assemble in aqueous environments, yielding products with high water solubility. This high solubility and bioavailability potential make it highly promising for biomedical applications.
MACS technology has the potential to revolutionize the amino acid industry in biotechnology-related sectors, creating significant opportunities for advancement and commerce!
