General description

Atto 488 is a labeling dye with high molecular absorption (90,000) and quantum yield (0.80) as well as sufficient Stokes shift between excitation and emission maximum. It is optimized for excitation with an argon laser, and is characterized by high photostability.

Application

Atto fluorescent labels are designed for high sensitivity applications, including single molecule detection. Atto labels have rigid structures that do not show any cis-trans-isomerization. Thus these labels display exceptional intensity with minimal spectral shift on conjugation. Atto 488 is suitable for preparation of fluorescence labeling reagents and the study of its physicochemical properties.

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is increasingly being used to assess the movement of particles diffusing in complex, optically dense surroundings, in which case measurement conditions may complicate data interpretation. It is considered how a single-photon FCS measurement can be affected

Curved membranes are an essential feature of dynamic cellular structures, including endocytic pits, filopodia protrusions and most organelles. It has been proposed that specialized proteins induce curvature by binding to membranes through two primary mechanisms: membrane scaffolding by curved proteins
