N-(1-Pyrenyl) Maleimide is a fluorescent dye to label and visualize proteins and other biomolecules. Its mechanism of action involves covalently binding to thiol groups on proteins, resulting in the formation of a stable fluorescent adduct. This allows for the visualization and tracking of the labeled proteins within cells and tissues using fluorescence microscopy or other imaging techniques. N-(1-Pyrenyl) Maleimide′s function as a fluorescent probe enables researchers to study the localization, dynamics, and interactions of specific proteins within biological systems. Its ability to selectively label and visualize proteins may be a useful reagent for investigating cellular processes and protein function.
