A simple design of fluorescent probes for indirect detection of β-lactamase based on AIE and ESIPT processes
A novel fluorescent probe DNBS-CSA is developed for light-up detection of β-lactamase. The probe design is based on an indirect detection approach with three step reactions. β-Lactamase can react with the lactam of its substrate (cefazolin sodium) to prod
A fluorescent probe for thiols based on aggregation-induced emission and its application in live-cell imaging
A turn-on fluorescent probe DNBS-CSA is reported here with selective detection of thiols over other amino acids. Probe DNBS-CSA possesses the widely-used thiol-selective 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) group to react with thiols and release the fluoresc
