Small Organic Molecules-Based Fluorescent Biosensors and their Applications

This book provides an overview of organic molecule-based fluorescent compounds and their applications as sensors and biosensors. The initial chapter introduces fundamental fluorescence concepts and their significance in biosensing. The book, in turn, details the synthesis of various scaffolds including xanthene, BODIPY, julolidine, cyanine, quinoline, phenanthiridine, acridine, rhodamine, benzothiazole, coumarin, perylene, and carbazole. The subsequent section covers the use of these organi...
