Abstract:
A chromogenic and fluorogenic detection of aldehydes was achieved via analyte triggered opening of the deoxylactam of N-(rhodamine B)-deoxylactam-ethylenediamine (dRB-EDA). The utility of the sensor was demonstrated by fluorescent labeling of aldehyde-displaying sialoproteins on cell surfaces.
