Chameleon Labels for Staining and Quantifying Proteins

Abstract: Glowing marks: A new class of protein stains, the pyrylium dyes, undergo a strong color change (typically from blue to red, see picture) on covalently binding to proteins. While the free stains are almost nonfluorescent, the protein‐conjugated forms are highly fluorescent. The dyes do not alter the charge of a protein, and thus do not change its electrophoretic properties. The stains also can be used in quantitative protein assays.

“…The manufacturer's literature quotes excitation and emission maxima of 644 nm and 732 nm, respectively, for the unconjugated dye and 465 nm and 629 nm, respectively, for the reaction product of the reagent with a protein. This reagent appears to be identical to the Py-5 reagent introduced by Wolfbeis [11]. In particular, we consider the detection limits and dynamic range, and electrophoretic behavior in different separation buffers.…”

“…Labels L-1, 26 Py-1, 27 and Py-4 28 were synthesized as described in literature. Label Py-6 was synthesized by analogy to the protocol for Py-1 in a single reaction step from 1,1,3-trimethyl-1,3-dihydro-benz[e]indol-2-yliden)-acetaldehyde and 2,4,6-trimethylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate.…”

“…Finally, the fourth group of fusion molecules comprised either a SiFA 46−48 or DOTA moiety (for radiolabeling with 18 For 68 Ga) as well as the nearinfrared-emitting fluorescent dye, Py5. 49 These fusion molecules could, in principle, be applicable in in vivo PET imaging or combined PET/optical imaging of hD 2 receptors. From these conjugates, it should be possible to determine if the binding affinity of the fallypride moiety to the hD 2 receptor tolerates complex structure elements essential for radiolabeling and in vivo imaging such as SiFA, DOTA, and fluorescent dyes introduced within the carrier peptide part of the molecule.…”
