Molecular biology dyes

Molecular biology dyes are widely used in the labeling and detection of nucleic acids, proteins and related molecules. They include the Hoechst series that specifically binds to DNA/RNA, dyes that fluorescently label nucleic acids, and antibodies and protein labeling reagents for Western blot analysis. In addition, there are analytical tools for collagen, amino acids, amyloid proteins, β-amyloid proteins and polysaccharides. Fluorescent labels include Janelia Fluor, BODIPY, biotin, coumarins, cyanines, fluoresceins and rhodamines, etc., which are suitable for oligonucleotide labeling, coupling and functional modification (such as amine, azide, thiol). These dyes provide important means for molecular structure analysis, functional research and biological coupling.
