Work with us on data science and visualisation projects, and deploy your project as an app on top of Graph Search.
We show that the equilibrium of intramolecular spirocyclization of coumarin-hemicyanine hybrid fluorophores can be finely tuned by means of chemical modifications. We used this scaffold to develop activatable fluorescent probes with large Stokes shifts for gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase and esterase.
