Fluorophore-cored dendrimers for patterns in metalloprotein sensing

Siriporn Jiwpanich, Britto S. Sandanaraj and S. Thayumanavan

In fluorophore-cored dendrimers with peripheral binding functionalities, the effect of generation upon protein binding-induced fluorescence quenching can be unpredictable; this is because the increase in fluorophore-binding functionality distance with generation is also accompanied by an increase in the number of binding moieties and the interplay between the two features is utilized to create patterns for metalloprotein sensing.
