- Tool name: Fluorescent probe for Copper
- Tool sub type: Fluorescent Probe
- Description: Copper is an essential trace element that is central to a broad range of biological processes, including cellular respiration, connective tissue formation, pigment synthesis, antioxidant defense, and photosynthesis in plants and bacteria. The measurement of reliable Cu(I) protein binding affinities requires competing reference ligands with similar binding strengths; however, the literature on such reference ligands is not only sparse but often conflicting. Here, Dr. Farhrni has designed a wat...
