3-Azido-7-hydroxycoumarin has the special property to become fluorescent only when it is click ligated. The formed triazole expands the electron system of the dye and enables fluorescence. Therefore, there is no background signal of the click unligated leftover dye. This dye is a valuable tool for nucleic acid labeling.
