Pyrene: A Probe to Study Protein Conformation and Conformational Changes

Pyrene: A Probe to Study Protein Conformation and Conformational Changes

The review focuses on the unique spectral features of pyrene that can be utilized to investigate protein structure and conformation. Pyrene is a fluorescent probe that can be attached covalently to protein side chains, such as sulfhydryl groups. The spectral features of pyrene are exquisitely sensit...
