A new thiol-specific reagent introduces a small bis(methylamino)terephthalic acid fluorophore into proteins. The noninvasive probe with distinct spectroscopic properties offers many advantages for protein labeling, purification, and mechanistic work promising to serve as a powerful tool in studies of protein folding and heme redox reactions.
一种新的巯基特异性试剂将一个小的双(甲基氨基)对苯二甲酸荧光团引入蛋白质中。这种具有独特光谱特性的非侵入性探针为蛋白质标记、纯化和机制研究提供了许多优势,有望成为研究蛋白质折叠和血红素氧化还原反应的有力工具。
