Propargylamine-selective dual fluorescence turn-on method for post-synthetic labeling of DNA

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Mar 12;56(21):3199-3202. doi: 10.1039/d0cc00255k.

Abstract

We have developed a propargylamine-selective dual fluorescence turn-on system, using ylidenemalononitrile enamines, for post-synthetic DNA labeling, allowing the direct monitoring of DNA using dual emission in living cells.
