Thiol-reactive Derivatives of the Solvatochromic 4-N,N-Dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide Fluorophore: A Highly Sensitive Toolset for the Detection of Biomolecular Interactions

The solvatochromic fluorophore 4-N,N-dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide (4-DMN) possesses extremely sensitive emission properties due largely to the low intrinsic fluorescence it exhibits in polar protic solvents such as water. This makes it well suited as a probe for the detection of a wide range of b...
