AdipoGen 2 6-TNS

Supplier: AdipoGen CDXT0008M250

Chemical. CAS 7724-15-4. Formula C17H15NO3S. Molecular Weight 313.37. 6-p-Toluidino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid TNS is a widely recognized aminonaphthalene-based fluorescent probe characterized for its solvatochromic effect. TNS is found to be almost fluorescence silent in aqueous medium whereas shows a high quantum yield in organic solvents with a hypsochromic shift, as the polarity of the medium decreases. This property has been exploited in biological studies to probe the micellation properties of surfactants, membrane fluidity, hydrophobic surfaces on proteins, conformational changes upon ligand binding, ligand binding events, protein-surfactant interactions, multimeric protein assembly or aggregation, fibril formation and others. TNS has been used in many studies as environmentally sensitive fluorescent probe for the conformational state of proteins.
