It seems “simple” from a chemistry perspective. But as pointed out, the special part is that this is simple chemistry, _that also works in standard biological conditions_ without harming biology: bio-orthogonal. So it allows complex chemistries to be brought into biological contexts easily and completely. So the discoveries made with this novel chemistry will be biological in nature. That makes for an awkward audience when one is siloed either on the chemistry side or the biology side and can’t quite see how much of a door is opened when you combine the disciplines.
