Description

1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene is a reactive polymer that can be used in the detection of light emission and fluorescence. It has been shown to have an activation energy of 130 kJ/mol and a detection sensitivity of 1.5 x 10-8 mol/l. This compound is typically used as a fluorescent probe for nucleic acid replication in plastids, such as Solanum tuberosum. The light emission from 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene is caused by the excitation of electrons from their ground state to higher energy levels. This excitation leads to the emission of radiation, which is detected with a spectrophotometer.br>
1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene has also been shown to inhibit DNA replication in bacteria by binding to dna gyrase through the naphthalene moiety and preventing it from performing its function as a type II topoisomerase. In addition, this compound binds to
