2,4‐Dinitrobenzenesulfonyl Fluoresceins as Fluorescent Alternatives to Ellman's Reagent in Thiol‐Quantification Enzyme Assays 论文

摘要

Fluorescent sensor for thiols: Deprotection of nonfluorescent 1 by thiols (R′SH) proceeds rapidly and near-quantitatively in aqueous solution (pH 7.4) to produce highly fluorescent 2. Assays performed in the presence of 1 provide a rapid and simple method for the determination of inhibitory constants for inhibitors such as donepezil toward acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterases.
