L-Azidohomoalanine (AHA) is a noncanonical amino acid analog of methionine that contains an azide moiety. AHA-labeling is a fast, sensitive, non-toxic, and non-radioactive alternative to the traditional technique for detecting nascent protein synthesis.
AHA is the cell-permeable compound randomly incorporated into synthesizing protein instead of methionine during translation. The resulting azide-labeled full-length proteins can be detected via copper-catalyzed click reaction (with fluorescent or biotin-labeled alkynes) or copper-free click reaction (with cycloalkynes) and used for subsequent microscopic imaging or purification tasks.

Fluo-4 AM, green fluorescent calcium indicator
Fluo-4 AM is a cell-permeable calcium ion indicator that is metabolized by intracellular esterase, leading to a bright green fluorescent signal upon calcium ion binding. Fluo-4 AM is well suited for fluorometric and imaging applications.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.HPG (L-Homopropargylglycine)
