General description

ANSA (8-Anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid) is a hydrophobic polarity sensitive fluorescent dye useful as a site probe to detect conformational changes in cell and micelle membranes and molecules such as proteins. ANSA is also used as a fluorescent probe for the estimation of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of surfactants.

Features and Benefits

Fluorescent probe for the estimation of the CMC of surfactants.

Hydrophobic sites on the surface of protein molecules are thought to have important functional roles. The identification of such sites can provide information about the function and mode of interaction with other cellular components. While the fluorescence enhancement of polarity-sensitive

Protein aggregation is believed to be due to conformers that expose hydrophobic clusters that promote protein association. Such conformers can be detected using a fluorescent probe like 8-anilino 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANSA). Here we show that urease exposed to 1.0 M
