FlAsH-EDT2 is a fluorescence probe for labeling proteins. The Fluorescein Arsenical Hairpin Binder (FlAsH) method is presented for fluorescence labeling of proteins in living cells. Labeling proteins with the membrane-permeant fluorogenic biarsenical dye fluorescein arsenical hairpin binder-ethanedithiol (FlAsH-EDT2). The membrane-permeant fluorogenic biarsenicals FlAsH-EDT2 and ReAsH-EDT2 can be prepared in good yields by a straightforward two-step procedure from the inexpensive precursor dyes fluorescein and resorufin. FlAsH-EDT2 binds covalently to a tetracysteine sequence (CCPGCC).

Can FlAsH-EDT2 be stored in DMSO or DMF and if so for how long at which conditions?

Asked by: Jaro
Thank you for your question. FlAsH-EDT2 (CAS 212118-77-9) is slightly soluble in chloroform and methanol. We recommend storing it in its solid form at -20 °C and preparing working solutions fresh to prevent degradation or precipitation of the solute. For further questions please contact technical service directly.

This structure differs from ones reported elsewhere (e.g. in the original publication or on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlAsH-EDT2). These other sources report a free carboxylic group on the 3rd carbon whereas you report a lactone. Which is correct?

Asked by: AndrewH
Thank you for your question. Regarding compound FlAsH-EDT2 (CAS 212118-77-9), the structures are just tautomers of each other - they will interconvert, and both are correct.
