• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 7-Bromo-1-methylnaphthalene is a fluorescent dye that can be used to measure the concentration of DNA, RNA, and proteins. This compound is an intercalator, which means that it can bind to double stranded DNA or RNA near the center of the molecule where there is a space for binding. It has been used in the study of the thymic gland because it binds to DNA and RNA in cells from this organ. 7-Bromo-1-methylnaphthalene has also been used as a skeleton for organic compounds, such as dimethylammonium. The bromine atom in this compound can be replaced with other atoms like iodine or chlorine to make different colored dyes.
