Nanostructure formation-induced fluorescence turn-on for selectively detecting protein thiols in solutions, bacteria and live cells

Abstract

We report the design and synthesis of a light-up probe of DBT-2(EEGK-maleimide), which can serve as a unique probe for selectively detecting protein thiols in various environments, including aqueous solutions, bacteria and live cells.
