Abstract:
Tandem fluorogenic reaction: A new platform for the direct, selective and sensitive detection of formaldehyde and/or secondary aliphatic amines, based on a tandem Mannich-electrophilic amination reaction, is described. Biological applications of hydrophilic, water-soluble fluorescent 2,2-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-2-ium-8-carboxylates (Safarinium P probes) are exemplified by labeling of the amine-containing Ac-AKF-NH2 peptide and Bacillus subtilis spores in aqueous solution.

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...
Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
