Abstract
Fluorescent dyes possess reactive linkers for conjugating to nucleic acids, carbohydrates and peptides. The conjugates fluoresce in the visible and UV spectrum and have an excellant solvochromatic response as compared to other fluorescence or chromatic labels. The conjugates are stable but also have medium sensitive. The fluorescent dyes have little triplet state formation and are not photoreactive, making them an excellent substance for biological investigations. Uses for the dyes include protein labelling, DNA labelling, single molecule spectroscopy and fluorescence. A synthesis of the dyes is disclosed. Methods of use include the detection of carbohydrate-protein interactions.
