MedKoo Cat#: 555718 | Name: YOYO-1

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

YOYO-1 is a green fluorescent dye used in DNA staining. It belongs to the family of monomethine cyanine dyes and is a tetracationic homodimer of Oxazole Yellow (abbreviated YO, hence the name YOYO), typically available as tetraiodide salt. In aqueous buffer, free YOYO-1 dye (absorption: λmax 458 nm, emission: λmax 564 nm) has very low fluorescence quantum yield, however the intensity of fluorescence increases 3200 times upon binding through bis-intercalation to double-stranded DNA (absorption: λmax 489 nm, emission: λmax 509 nm).
