摘要 |
Embodiments of compounds for selectively detecting a thiol are disclosed. In some embodiments, the compounds are bridged viologens, and the compounds are capable of reacting with homocysteine and/or glutathione in a buffered solution to produce a change in the solution's absorbance spectrum and/or emission spectrum. Also disclosed are embodiments of methods and kits for detecting homocysteine and/or glutathione with the disclosed bridged viologens. |
