Unreferenced date November 2006 Image Aminoallyl Uridine.svg right frame The structure of aminoallyluridine Aminoallyl nucleotides are used in post labeling of nucleic acid s to be used in microarray s. These nucleotides are formally known as 5 3 amino allyl nucleotides since the aminoallyl group is usually attached to carbon 5 of the pyrimidine ring of uracil and cytosine . They are usually abbreviated as aa , such as aa dUTP. The amine group in the aminoallyl moiety is aliphatic and thus more reactive compared to the amine groups that are directly attached to the rings aromatic of the bases. Uses The aminoallyl group in aminoallyl modified nucleotides is reactive with dyes such as the cyanine series, AnaSpec HiLyte Fluor , or Alexa Fluor dyes that also been modified to be amine reactive. A problem with this method is that the dyes react with the buffering agent usually used for storage of nucleotides. Instead a carbonate buffer is used. The DNA or RNA from a sample is copied in vitro by T7 polymerase, RT polymerase or some other polymerase except of eukaryotic origin in a mix of nucleotides in which one, typically uracil RNA and also DNA , is a mix aminoallyl NTP and normal UTP. An alternative method is using thiol reactive dyes. DEFAULTSORT Aminoallyl Nucleotide Category Nucleic acids Category Nucleotides molecular cell biology stub ... more details

Image Photobleaching.ogg right thumb 150px Photobleaching The movie shows photobleaching of a fluorosphere. The movie is accelerated, the whole process happened during 4 minutes. Photobleaching is the photochemical destruction of a fluorophore . In microscopy , photobleaching may complicate the observation of fluorescent molecules, since they will eventually be destroyed by the light exposure necessary to stimulate them into fluorescing. This is especially problematic in time lapse microscopy. However, photobleaching may also be used prior to applying the primarily antibody linked fluorescent molecules, in an attempt to quench autofluorescence . This can help to improve signal to noise ratio . Photobleaching may also be exploited to study the motion and or diffusion of molecules, for example via the Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching FRAP or Fluorescence loss in photobleaching FLIP techniques. Loss of activity caused by photobleaching can be controlled by reducing the intensity or time span of light exposure, by increasing the concentration of fluorophores, by reducing the frequency and thus the photon energy of the input light, or by employing more robust fluorophores that are less prone to bleaching e.g. Alexa fluor Alexa Fluor s or DyLight Fluor s . To a reasonable approximation, a given molecule will be destroyed after a constant exposure intensity of emission X emission time X number of cycles because, in a constant environment, each absorption emission cycle has an equal probability of causing photobleaching. Lifetime Depending on the material, dyes can produce different photon numbers and therefore have different lifetimes at e.g. 10 sup 5 sup photons s Green fluorescent protein 10 sup 4 sup 10 sup 5 sup 0.1 1 s Typical organic dye 10 sup 5 sup 10 sup 6 sup 1 10 s CdSe ZnS Quantum dot 10 sup 8 sup 1000 s This use of the term lifetime is not to be confused with the lifetime measured by fluorescence lifetime imaging .
