Abstract:
A novel easily available turn-on fluorescent chemosensor RPU based on a rhodamine-phenylurea conjugate was synthesized, which showed highly selective and sensitive recognition toward Pb(2+) in CH(3)CN and Hg(2+) in aqueous media over a wide range of tested metal ions with remarkably enhanced fluorescent intensities and also clear color changes from colorless to pink.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
