CY5-Glycine

Cy5-Glycine/Cyanine5-Glycine is a fluorescent amino acid conjugate, in which the near-infrared dye Cy5 (λ_ex ~650 nm,λ_em ~670 nm) is covalently attached to glycine, the simplest amino acid.This conjugate provides a minimal fluorescent building block for bioconjugation, molecular imaging, and biochemical studies.
Applications:
Fluorescent labeling in peptide or small-molecule synthesis.
Cellular imaging and biodistribution studies with low autofluorescence.
Tracer for biochemical assays involving glycine metabolism or transport.
Custom bioconjugation in drug delivery or nanomaterial development.
