BDP R6G carboxylic acid is a borondipyrromethene dye (Excitation: 530 nM; Emission: 548 nM). BDP R6G carboxylic acid terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators to form a stable amide bond, for subsequent labeling reactions like Steglich esterification[1].

ChEBI: BODIPY R6G is a BODIPY dye having a phenyl substituent at the 5-position and a (2-carboxyethyl) substituent at the 3-position. It has a role as a fluorochrome. It is a BODIPY dye and a monocarboxylic acid. It is functionally related to a 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene.
