unusual facts about functional group


Functional group

The International Union of Crystallography in its Crystallographic Information File dictionary defines "moiety" to represent discrete non-bonded components.


Bioconjugation

One strategy is to first install a unique functional group onto a protein, and then a bioorthogonal or click type reaction is used to couple a biomolecule with this unique functional group.
