Bromocresol green is a cationic surfactant that is used as a fluorescent indicator dye. It binds to proteins and can be detected with an optical sensor. Bromocresol green has been shown to react with hydrochloric acid, which may be due to the protonation of the cationic group. This reaction is reversible and depends on pH. The binding of bromocresol green to serum proteins results in a decrease in fluorescence intensity due to quenching by adsorption at the protein-protein interface. The kinetic data for this dye have been found to depend on α1-acid glycoprotein concentration.

5-Aminovaleric acid is a cyclic peptide that is an antagonist of the enzyme 5-aminovaleric acid hydrolase that catalyzes the conversion of 5-aminovaleric acid to succinic semialdehyde. The physiological function of 5-aminovaleric acid hydrolase is not known, but it has been implicated in a number of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The reaction solution contains 5-aminovaleric acid (5AVA), hydrogen fluoride (HF), and l-lysine (Lys). Upon addition of HF to the solution, it reacts with Lys to form a dinucleotide phosphate intermediate. This intermediate then reacts with 5AVA to form an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the amino group of Lys and release hydrogen gas. The detection sensitivity for this reaction can be increased by using a cyclic peptide inhibitor.

Bromocresol green is a dye that is used in biological assays to measure the kinetics of fluorescence. It is a type of tryptophan-releasing compound that releases a yellowish-green light when it absorbs light at wavelengths between 350 and 450 nm. Bromocresol green has been quantified by measuring the intensity of the fluorescence emission as a function of time. This can be done visually or using an instrument called a fluorometer, which detects changes in light intensity over time. Bromocresol green can be used to detect the presence of amino acid residues in proteins through protonation reactions with their tryptophan residues and subsequent quenching with acetonitrile. The bromocresol green dye is also used in lithographic printing, where it serves as an acceptor for electrons from an arene (aromatic hydrocarbon). This process generates energy for lithography and also provides contrast between regions with different electron densities.
