Three new benzazole isothiocyanate fluorescent dyes, 2-(4'-isothiocyanate-2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole, 2-(4'-isothiocyanate-2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole and 2-(4'-isothiocyanate-2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole were synthesised, purified until optical purity grade and characterised by spectroscopic techniques. UV/VIS and steady-state fluorescence were also applied to characterise the photophysical behaviour of the dyes. These dyes exhibit an intense fluorescence emission with a large Stokes shift, inherent to the class of benzazoles which relax by the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism. The dyes were studied for labeling bovine serum albumin (BSA), resulting conjugates BSA-dye with a remarkable photostability under UV/VIS radiation in relation to classical protein labels. The resulting conjugates presented fluorescence in the blue-green region. Direct fluorescence detection of protein-labeled with those dyes after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicates their potential use as fluorescent probes for proteins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011522 Protons Stable elementary particles having the smallest known positive charge, found in the nuclei of all elements. The proton mass is less than that of a neutron. A proton is the nucleus of the light hydrogen atom, i.e., the hydrogen ion. Hydrogen Ions,Hydrogen Ion,Ion, Hydrogen,Ions, Hydrogen,Proton
D005456 Fluorescent Dyes Chemicals that emit light after excitation by light. The wave length of the emitted light is usually longer than that of the incident light. Fluorochromes are substances that cause fluorescence in other substances, i.e., dyes used to mark or label other compounds with fluorescent tags.
