[see reaction]. Avidin conjugates containing the covalently attached dyes QSY-7 and dabcyl were prepared and shown to quench the bioluminescence of biotinylated aequorin. Quenching efficiency was shown to be dependent on both the label-to-avidin ratio and the concentration of the avidin conjugate. These properties were exploited to develop a homogeneous ... More
