A fluorescence immune assay designed to measure anti-nucleotide antibody activity is described based on the synthesis of a fluorescent nucleotide probe possessing a low fluorescence quantum yield when free in aqueous solution (neutral pH). The fluorophore, AmNS (1-naphthylamine-5-sulfonic acid), was

In the previous paper we demonstrated that uridine-5'-beta-1-(5-sulfonic acid) naphthylamidate (UDPAmNS) is a stacked and quenched fluorophore that shows severalfold enhancement of fluorescence in a stretched conformation. UDPAmNS was found to be a powerful competitive inhibitor (Ki = 0.2 mM)

Physical interactions between pyridoxal kinase and aspartate aminotransferase were detected by means of emission anisotropy and affinity chromatography techniques. Binding of aspartate aminotransferase (apoenzymes) to pyridoxal kinase tagged with a fluorescent probe was detected by emission anisotropy measurements at pH

Aggregation of proteins and peptides has been shown to be responsible for several diseases known as amyloidoses, which include Alzheimer disease (AD), prion diseases, among several others. AD is a neurodegenerative disorder caused primarily by the aggregation of beta-amyloid peptide
