Publisher's Synopsis
Fluorescent Probes in Cellular and Molecular Biology presents the most comprehensive evaluation of the theory, instrumentation, and practical applications of fluorescent probes available. It covers basic principles and discusses the use of fluorescent dyes as probes for solvent polarity, solvent viscosity, membrane fluidity, membrane potential, and ionic intracellular composition. This important also describes various applications of fluorescent labels and photolabels, fluorescent analogs, and fluorogenic substrates.
No similar publication is devoted exclusively to fluorescent probes, making this an essential guide for anyone working with modern fluorescence techniques. The book is perfect for individuals working in the areas of photochemistry, photobiology, biology, biophysics, or biochemistry. It is also an excellent textbook for graduate students in biology, biophysics, and medicine.
