Title: Chemical Tools for Biology
Author: Fessler, Adam
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry
Description: Reagents for biotinylation that are innately water-soluble and can be tracked by both UV-vis spectroscopy and fluorescence (330nm/420nm) have been developed. These reagents are based on the isatoic anhydride platform, which gives rise to their val...
