Abstract

We report here the development of a novel fluorescein-based probe which shows selective fluorescence enhancement on binding to a hexahistidine-tagged protein. No fluorescence change was observed with untagged protein. This probe is excitable with visible light and is considered to be suitable for use in biological applications.
