QUENCHED FLUOROPHORES CONJUGATED TO PEPTIDES VIA LINKERS CONTAINING DITHIO GROUPS

摘要

Disclosed are dithio compounds that include a quenched fluorophore and a non-fluoropbore peptide linked via a dithio bond to the fluorophore The dithio compounds may be used in methods for detecting thiol-containing compounds or dithio-containing compounds The dithio compounds al&o may be used as cellular probes where the peptide portion of the compounds targets the compounds to a specific cellular location.
