| Targets |
Acrylodan targets thiol (-SH) groups on proteins, specifically cysteine residues. The compound does not target a specific protein or enzyme but rather serves as a covalent labeling reagent that attaches the environment-sensitive fluorophore to cysteine residues on proteins for studying protein structure and dynamics.

Guidelines (This is our suggested protocol; it should be adjusted based on your unique requirements as it just offers as a guideline). Act 1: 1. Purification and Labeling: 1. After adding a 20-fold molar excess of acrylodan (Anaspec) to the polymerized actin, it was let to sit on ice for an entire night. 2. After centrifuging 100,000 × g of labeled actin for two hours at 4 °C, the pellet was resuspended in 10 mm Tris buffer with pH 7.5, 0.5 mm β-mercaptoethanol, 0.2 mm CaCl2, and 50 μm ATP. The mixture was subsequently dialyzed for seventy hours at 4 °C. 3. After collecting the supernatant, the extinction coefficients of 26,600 M 1 cm 1 for actin at 290 nm, 18,500 M 1 cm 1 for acrylodan at 385 nm, and 71,000 M 1 cm 1 for Alexa Fluor 488 at 494 nm were used to compute the actin content and degree of labeling. 4. The emission spectra of EDTA-unfolded AcrylAct1 (AcrylAct1I3), which has a very similar emission spectrum to CCT-bound AcrylAct1, differs significantly from that of Acrylodan-labeled Act1 (AcrylAct1NAT).
The in vitro activity of Acrylodan is its function as an environment-sensitive fluorescent probe for protein studies. The compound reacts with thiol groups on cysteine residues, forming a covalent bond. The fluorescence of Acrylodan is extremely sensitive to the local environment polarity and dynamics, changing in response to conformational changes in the labeled protein. This property makes it valuable for studying protein structural changes, protein-protein interactions, and protein folding. |
| ln Vivo |
Acrylodan is not used as a therapeutic agent. Its in vivo utility is limited to research applications involving protein structural analysis. The compound is not intended for systemic therapeutic use.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro labeling assays for Acrylodan involve incubating the thiol-reactive probe with proteins containing free cysteine residues in appropriate buffer conditions. The reaction forms a covalent bond between the acryloyl group of Acrylodan and the thiol group of the cysteine residue. The labeled protein can then be analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy to study conformational changes and environmental sensitivity.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular experiments, Acrylodan is used to label proteins in cell lysates or purified preparations. The labeled proteins can be studied using fluorescence spectroscopy to investigate conformational changes and protein dynamics.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with Acrylodan are not typically performed, as the compound is primarily used as a research tool for in vitro protein structural studies. The compound is intended for research use only.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of Acrylodan have not been characterized, as the compound is a research-use fluorescent probe rather than a drug candidate. The compound has a molecular weight of 225.29 g/mol and should be stored at 4°C, protected from light. It is a solid at room temperature.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for Acrylodan has not been systematically evaluated, as the compound is intended for research applications only and not for therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed when handling this chemical reagent.
