Product Information

• Name: 4-Azidocoumarin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Azidocoumarin is a fluorescent molecule that binds to human serum albumin with a high affinity. The binding constants for the 4-azidocoumarin-albumin complexes are dependent on the pH and the concentration of the protein. It is also used as a fluorophore in research to study biomolecular interactions. 4-Azidocoumarin has an enhancement effect on other molecules, such as benzophenone, which fluoresces at a longer wavelength than it would without the presence of 4-azidocoumarin. The hydroxyl group of 4-azidocoumarin acts as an acceptor for electrons from other molecules, while the dipole constant determines how easily electrons can be transferred between molecules. The microenvironment around 4-azidocoumarin affects its fluorescence properties by influencing its electron transfer rate, which in turn depends on the distance between the donor and acceptor molecules and their relative orientation to
