Lw. Deady et al., Far-red dibenzo[a,j]perylene-8,16-dione dyes as fluorescent enzyme substrates and tags for biomolecules, SYN COMMUN, 30(5), 2000, pp. 803-820
The synthesis of fluorescent 2,10-derivatives of the title chromophore are
described. The substituents contain amino-reactive N-hydroxysuccinimde eate
r and thiol-reactive iodoacetamide groups for attachment to biomolecules. A
phosphate derivative was also prepared as an enzyme substrate.
