2-[(1E,3E)-6-[3-(dimethylamino)pyridine]-1,3-butadien-1-yl]-4,5-dihydro-(4S)-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid sodium salt (DP3-Na) is a new NIR emission luciferin analog having luminescence peak at 670 ~ 680 nm with a peak range in the near-infrared (NIR) region with the enhanced solubility in water. Luciferin is a generic term for the light-emitting compound found in organisms that generate bioluminescence.
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) systems allows for high-sensitive and noninvasive monitoring of cell proliferation, activity of signaling pathways and protein-protein interactions in living tissues.
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are quasi-one-dimensional narrow strips of graphene comprised of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms arranged into hexagonal honeycomb lattice configurations.
Organic electronics utilizes organic conductors and semiconductors for applications in organic photovoltaics, organic light-emitting diodes, and organic field-effect transistors.
