Green-Emitting 4,5-Diaminonaphthalimides in Activity-Based Probes for the Detection of Thrombin
Abstract
The natures of electron-donating groups as well as the bridge between them determine the fate of substituted 1,8-naphthalimide molecules in the excited state. An activity-based probe constructed from a selective peptide sequence, a reactive warhead, and the brightest green-emitting fluorophore displays impressive performance for thrombin protease detection in a newly constructed series of 1,8-naphthalimides.
