Description

4-Oxo-4-pyren-1-yl-butyric acid is a fluorescent molecule that interacts with the surface of proteins. It has been used to monitor hydrogen bonding interactions between proteins and other molecules. 4-Oxo-4-pyren-1yl butyric acid has also been used in fluorescence assays, techniques and reduction processes. The fluorescence properties of this molecule allow it to be used in quantifying interactions between proteins and other molecules. This technique provides a way to measure the affinity of various molecules for each other. This process can be done by measuring the amount of energy released when 4-oxo4 pyren 1yl butyric acid is reduced to form 4,5dihydrobenzoquinone (4,5DBQ). The intensity of the fluorescence is proportional to the amount of energy released.
