Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to unsymmetrical cyanine dyes comprising a substituted benzazolium ring system linked by a methine bridge to a quinolinium ring that contains a heteroatom. Compounds of formula (I) are provided herein. The compounds can be useful for fluorescent detection or quantification of nucleic acids. Related methods, uses, and kits are disclosed.
Abstract:
Provided herein are compounds, enzyme substrates, compositions, kits, uses, and methods for detecting the presence or absence of a caspase enzyme, measuring the activity of a caspase enzyme, or detecting the presence or absence of apoptosis. The detection or measurement can occur through intracellular cleavage of a compound or enzyme substrate, which can lead to an increase in fluorescence, e.g., in the violet or red channel, through liberation of a nucleic acid binding dye from a peptide, such as liberation of a DNA-binding dye from a negatively charged peptide comprising a sequence recognized and cleaved by a caspase.
