Nitrobenzoxadiazolealanine is a fluorescent dinitrophenyl analogue.
Uses
NBDA (4-(α-N-L-alanine)-NBD) is a structural and functional analogue of the 2,4-dinitrophenyl group (DNP). NBDA can be used to detect and characterize antinitroaromatic antibodies, even in crude preparations, and possibly on cell surfaces[1].
