Product Description: BDP R6G maleimide is a borodipyrromethane fluorophore with absorption and emission wavelengths similar to those of R6G rhodamine. Sulfhydryl labelling is a common protein modification where the cysteine residues in the protein allow more site-specific labelling than the NHS ester of the amine group. BDP R6G maleimide is a thiol reactive dye that reacts with thiol groups to form thioester bonds[1].
