BODIPY-NHS CAS:150173-73-2 is a chemical compound that is frequently used as a fluorescent probe in biochemistry and molecular biology research. It is a derivative of BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene), a fluorophore that is known for its bright and photostable fluorescence.
BODIPY-NHS contains an N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester group, which allows for specific and efficient labeling of amino groups on proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules. The NHS ester reacts with primary amines to form a stable and covalent amide bond, resulting in a fluorescently labeled biomolecule.
BODIPY-NHS is often used as a fluorescent probe for studying protein-protein interactions, as the BODIPY fluorophore can be excited by light and emit fluorescence in response to binding events. It has also been used in the development of biosensors and other analytical tools for detecting and quantifying biomolecules.
BODIPY-NHS is a useful tool for a variety of biochemical applications, particularly in the areas of protein labeling and detection where fluorescence-based techniques and specific labeling of amino groups are desired.
