Monobromobimanes are essentially nonfluorescent until conjugated and readily react with low molecular weight thiols. Unlike common monobromobimanes, this carries a positive charge, thus permitting separation of conjugates by electrophoresis or cation-exchange chromatography

The distribution of thiols and disulfides in the guinea pig spermatozoon during maturation and capacitation was studied using both membrane-permeable (mBBr) and impermeable (qBBr) forms of bromobimane, a specific fluorescent probe for thiol groups. In conjunction with the disulfide (SS)-reducing

The acrosome of marsupial spermatozoa is a robust structure which, unlike its placental counterpart, resists disruption by detergent or freeze/thawing and does not undergo a calcium ionophore induced acrosome reaction. In this study specific fluorescent thiol labels, bromobimanes, were used
The single cysteinyl residue 26 of spinach calmodulin was labelled with the thiol-specific bimane fluorescence probe. Following application of stoichiometric quantities of Ca2+ or aluminum ions to the protein, temperature-dependent fluorescence changes (anisotropy, lifetime) could be monitored via the label.

Techniques have been developed to measure the reactivity of free thiols in the HLA class I antigen-binding cleft. HLA-B27, which sequencing predicts has a free cysteine at position 67, reacts rapidly with the positively charged thiol reagent monobromotrimethyl-ammoniobimane bromide (qBBr)
