Abstract:
Alkynyl-derivatized cap analogs, alkynyl-modified capped RNA, 1,4-disubstituted triazole-derivatized capped RNA, methods of preparation, methods of isolation, and uses thereof are provided. The “click” modification facilitates detection and isolation of capped RNAs and the 1,4-disubstituted triazole derivatives formed by the “click” reaction are useful for producing RNA transcripts and encoded protein.
Abstract:
A new class of pH sensitive fluorescent dyes and assays relating thereto are described. The dyes and assays are particularly suited for biological applications including phagocytosis and monitoring intracellular processes. The pH sensitive fluorescent dyes of the present invention include compounds of Formula I:
wherein the variables are described throughout the application.
Abstract:
Provided herein are compounds, enzyme substrates, compositions, kits, uses, and methods for detecting the presence or absence of a caspase enzyme, measuring the activity of a caspase enzyme, or detecting the presence or absence of apoptosis. The detection or measurement can occur through intracellular cleavage of a compound or enzyme substrate, which can lead to an increase in fluorescence, e.g., in the violet or red channel, through liberation of a nucleic acid binding dye from a peptide, such as liberation of a DNA-binding dye from a negatively charged peptide comprising a sequence recognized and cleaved by a caspase.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed dye compounds containing a hydrazinyl substituent and optionally, one or more negatively charged groups, such as sulfonate, phosphate, phosphonate, and/or carboxylate groups and dye compounds containing an aminooxy substitutent. The compounds are useful in the detection of analytes containing aldehyde and ketone groups, including, for example, glycans.
Abstract:
Low-copper click chemistry, 1.3-dipolar cycloadditions, and Staudinger ligations for modifying biomolecules is provided. Compositions, methods, and kits relating to low-copper click chemistry, 1.3-dipolar cycloadditions, and Staudinger ligations are also provided.
Abstract:
