Follow on Google News | CopperGREEN: A Fluorogenic Compound for the Specific Detection of Copper(I) Ions in Living CellsCopper is one of the trace metals essential for living organisms. Copper is an essential cofactor for enzyme activities of cytochrome c, superoxide dismutase, and tyrosinase. Copper homeostasis plays a crucial role in health or disease.
By: MoBiTec GmbH CopperGREEN, manufactured by Goryo Chemical, Japan, distributed in Europe by MoBiTec GmbH, Germany, is a fluorescent probe to detect copper(I), which is a dominant redox state of copper in an intracellular reducing environment. CopperGREEN is suitable for live cell imaging. CopperGREEN is a colorless material with intrinsically no fluorescence. When CopperGREEN chelates Cu(I) ions, it is easily hydrolyzed to generate a fluorescent compound with excitation maximum at ~480 nm and emission maximum at ~510 nm. As the reaction is irreversible the fluorescence signal remains after mild fixation. Features of CopperGREEN: • High specificity to copper ion: Low reactivity with other trace metal ions and reactive oxygen species (ROS). • High S/N: Fluorescence increase of >100 times can be observed upon reaction with copper (I) ion. CopperGRREN is part of Goryo's MetalloFluor™ • CopperGREEN for specific detection of Cu(I) • FeRhoNox™-1 for specific detection of Fe2+ • ZnAF-2 for the detection of zinc ions • ZnAF-2DA for live cell imaging of zinc ions Next to Goryo's MetalloFluor™ About MoBiTec GmbH MoBiTec GmbH (Goettingen, Germany) is a privately held company (founded in 1987) that offers research tools for molecular and cell biology.
