The first book to serve as both an introduction and state-of-the-art biophysical applications of fluorescent probe, Fluorescent Analogues of Biomolecular Building Blocks focuses on design, synthesis, and implementation of new fluorescent analogues of biomolecular building blocks. Featuring a chapter by Nobelist Roger Tsien, the text focuses on designing fluorescent probes for the four major families of macromolecular building blocks and summarizes the most important and general contributions discussing fluorescent probes that were designed to shed light on biological processes.
