Description

Methyl (2S)-2-amino-3-[(triphenylmethyl)sulfanyl]propanoate is a bioluminescent compound that emits light upon oxidation. Methyl (2S)-2-amino-3-[(triphenylmethyl)sulfanyl]propanoate has been used as a reporter in bioluminescence imaging experiments, where it was shown to be an effective analogue of luciferin and had high quantum yields. It was also shown to have high photostability, which is important for long-term use. The methyl group on the side chain of the molecule can be replaced with other organic groups, leading to analogues that emit different wavelengths of light. These analogues are also useful in bioluminescence imaging experiments, as they are more sensitive than the parent compound.
