Their photo-physical properties and the specificity to sulfhydryl group in the 2-mercapto-ethanol as well as the L-cysteine adducts were indicated by fluorescence intensity. Preliminary tests revealed that the probes could react selectively with the cysteine molecules, suggesting that these probes might be generally useful in biomedical researches.展开更多
