F-ara-EdU (2’-deoxy-2’-fluoro-5-ethynyluridine) is a synthetic analog of thymidine used to study de novo DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. It is a less cytotoxic alternative for BrdU (5-Bromo-2’-deoxyuridine) and EdU (5-Ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine).

F-ara-EdU incorporates into replicating DNA during the S-phase of the cell cycle instead of natural thymidine. Metabolic incorporation of F-ara-EdU into DNA can be detected by copper-catalyzed click reaction with fluorescent or biotin-labeled azides.

In contrast to EdU, F-ara-EdU causes little or no cellular arrest or DNA synthesis inhibition. Therefore, F-ara-EdU is ideally suited for pulse-chase experiments aimed at birth-dating DNA in vivo and long-term cell survival estimation.

EdU (5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine)

EdU is a nucleoside that is incorporated into replicated DNA by cellular enzymes. After it, DNA contained in the cells can be developed by click chemistry reaction with fluorescent dye azides to reveal cell proliferation.

FCCP, ATPase inhibitor

FCCP is a strong uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria that disrupts ATP production by transporting protons across cellular membranes.

BTTAA ligand

BTTAA is the newest generation of water-soluble ligands for the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) that dramatically accelerates reaction rates and suppresses cell cytotoxicity.
