    Product Description

    5-IAF is a fluorescent probe for labeling proteins.1 It has been used to label proteins through a reaction with sulfhydryl groups. 5-IAF displays excitation/emission maxima of 491/518 nm, respectively, which can shift during protein labeling or changes in hydrophobicity and can be quenched by potassium iodide. 5-IAF has been used to monitor ligand binding and conformational changes of the Na+/K+-ATPase.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
