| Enzyme Assay |
For fluorescence characterization, 1,4-Dichloro 5-carboxytetramethylrhodamine is dissolved in an appropriate solvent (e.g., DMSO, methanol, or aqueous buffer) and its absorption and emission spectra are measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrometer, respectively. Excitation and emission maxima are determined (Ex=541 nm, Em=568 nm). For labeling reactions, the compound is activated by converting the carboxy group to an NHS ester using EDC and NHS. The activated ester is then reacted with the target biomolecule (e.g., protein, antibody, or nucleic acid) in a buffer at pH 7.0-8.5 for 1-2 hours at room temperature. The labeled product is purified by dialysis, size exclusion chromatography, or other methods. The labeling efficiency is assessed by measuring the absorbance or fluorescence of the labeled product.
