BODIPY-TS (also known as Thiol-green 2) is a highly efficient thiol-specific turn-on probe with a fast response. It incorporates a thiosulfonate scaffold as its thiol recognition unit. BODIPY-TS displays excellent selectivity, low detection limit, and quantitative reactivity towards thiols. Moreover, it exhibits low toxicity. Notably, BODIPY-TS exhibits excitation at 490 nm and emission at 515 nm.
NIR dye-1 is a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye which has absorption and emission in the NIR region while retaining an optically tunable hydroxyl group.
Acrylodan, when subjected to thiol reactions, exhibits sensitivity to the dipolarity and dynamics of its surrounding binding pocket, specifically those surrounding Cys 34.
6-Iodoacetamidofluorescein is a sulphhydryl-specific fluorescent dye utilized for selective labeling of -SH groups present in nuclear matrix polypeptides and proteins.
Tetramethylrhodamine-5-iodoacetamide (5-TMRIA) is a thiol-selective reactive dye that is used to non-specifically label proteins via the cysteine residues and covalently label DNA fragments[1].
