'Thiolated dimeric tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) was synthesized in a straightforward procedure utilizing commercially available 5(6)-succinimidyl TAMRA and cystamine hydrochloride. The thiol-containing TAMRA dimer displayed distinct spectral properties in reduced and oxidized forms; covalent dimer formation produced greater effects on the spectral properties than previously reported for noncovalent TAMRA dimers or dimers ...

'[structure: see text] To probe the activities of sperm ADAM protein (fertilinbeta), we devised a general synthetic strategy to generate fluorescently labeled fertilinbeta oligopeptide polymers. Immunofluorescence studies with these polymers demonstrated that fertilinbeta polymers bind specifically to a protein receptor on the mouse egg plasma membrane.' ... More
