MedKoo Cat#: 146288 | Name: Prodan

Description:

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

Prodan is a fluorescent dye widely used as a polarity-sensitive probe in biophysical and biochemical studies. Its fluorescence emission shifts depending on the polarity of its environment, making it valuable for investigating membrane dynamics, protein folding, and microenvironmental changes in cells. The mechanism involves intramolecular charge transfer upon excitation, which leads to solvent-dependent fluorescence emission spectra. PRODAN is particularly useful for monitoring changes in lipid bilayers and protein conformations.
