Esculin functions as a fluorescent dye. It is used to detect the presence of metal ions, particularly iron, in biological samples. Esculin interacts with metal ions at the molecular level, forming complexes that emit fluorescence when exposed to specific wavelengths of light. This property allows visualization and quantification the amount of metal ions present in experimental samples. Esculin′s mechanism of action involves chelation, where it binds to metal ions and forms stable complexes, leading to the emission of fluorescence. This enables to study the distribution and concentration of metal ions within biological systems, providing insights into various biochemical processes. Esculin hydrate plays a role in facilitating the detection and analysis of metal ions in experimental, contributing to a better understanding of biological systems and processes.
