NVOC2-Q-rhodamine-5-PEG3-azide
NVOC2-Q-rhodamine-5-PEG3-azide (CAS: 1352809-21-2; C55H56N8O19) is a photoactivatable, caged rhodamine derivative. It features a PEG3 spacer and an azide group for conjugation via click chemistry. Upon UV irradiation, the NVOC cage is cleaved, releasing the fluorescent Q-rhodamine dye. This compound is primarily utilized in chemical biology and conjugation chemistry for creating fluorescent probes and sensors that can be activated spatially and temporally.
