Dansylglycine
Dansylglycine (CAS: 1091-85-6, Formula: C14H16N2O4S) is a specialised biochemical reagent with a molecular weight of 308.35 g/mol. It functions as a fluorescent probe and a drug site II probe for human serum albumin (HSA). This compound is instrumental in the analysis of albumin binding sites and in the development of chemosensors through the generation of chromophore-modified cyclodextrins. Stored at -20°C, it is suitable for advanced biochemical research applications.

HSA Drug Site II Probe
Dansylglycine serves as a fluorescent probe to investigate and differentiate specific binding sites, particularly site II, on human serum albumin. Its fluorescence properties aid in understanding drug-protein interactions.
Chemosensor Development
This compound is employed in the creation of chemosensors by facilitating the synthesis of chromophore-modified cyclodextrins. These modified cyclodextrins can then be used for the detection and quantification of target analytes.
Biochemical Research
As a modified amino acid and fluorescent conjugate, Dansylglycine is valuable in various biochemical studies, including protein binding assays and the development of fluorescent labelling techniques.
