摘要: Polymethine cyanine dyes have been widely recognized as promising chemical tools for a range of life science and biomedical applications, such fluorescent staining DNA proteins in gel electrophoresis, fluorescence guided surgery, or ratiometric probes probing biochemical pathways. The photophysical properties can be tuned through the synthetic modification conjugated backbone, example, by altering aromatic cores varying length polymethine chain. Alternative routes to shaping absorption, emission, photostability this family are centered around modifications on This Minireview aims discuss strategies introduction substituents meso-position, their effect these some structure-activity correlations which could help overcome common limitations state art synthesis.
