Abstract

Turning off the light. A fluorescence quencher based on azulene was synthesized which absorbs light in the range of 650 to 800 nm. Since protease sensing was possible with the derivative shown (Alexa Fluor680 is the fluorochrome), applications in vivo for imaging molecular targets can be expected.
