摘要:
The quenching compounds of the invention are weakly luminescent cyanines that are substituted by one or more heteroaromatic quenching moieties. The quenching compounds of the invention exhibit little or no observable luminescence and efficiently quench a broad spectrum of luminescent compounds. The chemically reactive quenching compounds possess utility for labeling a wide variety of substances, including biomolecules. These labeled substances are highly useful for a variety of energy-transfer assays and applications.
摘要:
Chemically reactive carbocyanine dyes that are intramolecularly crosslinked between the 1-position and 3′-position, their bioconjugates and their uses are described. 1,3′-crosslinked carbocyanines are superior to those of conjugates of spectrally similar 1,1′-crosslinked or non-crosslinked dyes. The invention includes derivative compounds having one or more benzo nitrogens.

摘要:
The invention encompasses kits for an improved method for measuring membrane potential using compounds of the formula I as potentiometric probes. These probes may be used in combination with other fluorescent indicators such as Indo-1, Fura-2, and Fluo-3, such probes may be used in microplate reading devices such as FLIPR™, fluorescent imaging plate reader, sold by Molecular Devices Corp., of Sunnyvale, Calif.; flow cytometers; and fluorometers. Such probes are used to measure membrane potential in live cells wherein X is O or S; and n is 1 or 2.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to the detection and measurement of transmembrane potentials using an N,N,N′-trialkyl thiobarbituric acid-derived polymethine oxonol (shown below). In particular, the present invention is directed to compositions and optical methods for determining transmembrane potentials across the plasma membrane of biological cells using a slightly hydrophobic N,N,N′-trialkyl thiobarbituric acid-derived polymethine oxonols. The method comprises a slightly hydrophobic N,N,N′-trialkyl thiobarbituric acid-derived polymethine oxonol anion capable of redistributing from a first face of the membrane to a second face of the membrane in response to changes in the potential of the membrane. In one aspect the method is used to identify compounds which modulate membrane potentials in biological membranes. wherein R1, R2, and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, haloalkyl and heteroalkyl; n is an integer from 1 to 3; Z is Na, K, ammonium or other biologically acceptable salt.
