BDP R6G carboxylic acid

Description

BDP R6G carboxylic acid is a BDP R6G linker with a carboxylic acid. The BDP R6G dye is popular for the microscopy and fluorescence polarization assays. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. EDC, or HATU) to form a stable amide bond.

Definition

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.
