Chemists have developed a new “click” chemistry process for specific assembly of two components without modifying their properties or the medium in which the reaction takes place. The process can be carried out under any conditions, whatever the characteristics of the medium. This new click reaction can be used to connect two components (molecules, proteins, nanoparticles, etc.) in biological media as complex as human blood.
