Abstract

This invention discloses a novel method for conjugating macromolecules to other molecular entities. Specifically, this invention discloses a method for conjugating or derivatizing macromolecules, such as oligonucleotides and proteins, using cycloaddition reactions, such as the Diels-Alder reaction or 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. Included in the invention are the novel bioconjugated macromolecules that can be prepared according to the method of the invention.
