USE OF A PHYCOBILIPROTEIN-BINDING PEPTIDE COMPLEX AS A FLUORESCENT TRACER

摘要

The use of a phycobiliprotein-binding peptide complex as a fluorescent tracer in a method using fluorescence to sense and/or determine an analyte in a medium thought to contain said analyte, is disclosed. Fluorescent conjugates consisting of said complex covalently bonded to one of the elements in a ligand/receptor specific binding pair, are also disclosed.
