The dye l-Anilino 8-Naphthalene Sulfonic acid (ANS) has high specificity for protein. It fluoresces only when bound to protein [30]. In smears and handsections (i.e. unembedded materials) we have never observed it to effect emulsion stability in the manner more traditional protein dyes such as Coomassie Brilliant Blue or Fast Green often do. This relative pH independence probably is due to the mode of action of this dye. It becomes fluorescent in hydrophobic pockets on protein molecules [30] in contrast to the ionic bonding necessary for Fast Green FCF and Coommassie Blue [22]. We have not observed a strong cross-reaction with lipids, either, although a fluorescence of different spectral characteristics sometimes is seen.

Anilino naphthalene sulfonic acid s (ANSA) polymerization CV (Figure 3 (d)) depicts only one pair of redox couple at about 0.5 V. The presence of a substituent on aniline also altered the CVs of PDMA-PSS in comparison with that of the pristine PANI. The successful polymerization of ANSA was confirmed by the voltammogram shown in Figure 4 (d) which exhibited similar cyclic voltammetric peaks as established for polyaniline. 

As one of the probes, fluorescence compounds are known. The fluorescence probe such as 8-anilino-l-naphthalene sulfonic acid ammonium salt(ANS) has been used as an indicator of membrane...

Also, HPLC methods with electrochemical or fluorescent detection are used (H19, M3). In proteins, dityrosine can be estimated by immunochemical methods employing dityrosine-specific antibodies (K5). Measurements of o,o -dityrosine and o-tyrosine levels in rat urine express dityrosine contents in skeletal muscle proteins, and have been proposed as the noninvasive oxidative stress test in vivo. One should be aware, however, that A-formylkynurenine, also formed in protein oxidation, has similar fluorescence properties as dityrosine (excitation 325 nm, emission at 400-450 nm) (G29). Also, oxidation of mellitin when excited at 325 nm produces an increase in fluorescence at 400—450 nm, despite the fact that mellitin does not contain tyrosine. Oxidation of noncontaining Trp residues ribonuclease A and bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor with "OH produces loss of tyrosine residues with no increase in fluorescence at 410 nm (S51). There are also methods measuring the increased hydrophobicity of oxidized proteins. Assays are carried out measuring protein binding of a fluorescent probe, 8-anilino-l-naphthalene-sulfonic acid (ANS). Increase in probe binding reflects increased surface hydrophobicity (C7). 

A number of examples of the use of host-guest chemistry in the creation of PET active systems have appeared. The reaction of P-cyclodextrin alcoholate with meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin is reported to give a hydrophilic cyclodextrin-porphyrin conjugate in 14% yield. ° In the presence of guests such as 1,4-benzoquinone, anthraquinone-2-sufonate or 8-anilino-l-naphthalene sulfonic acid, PET operates as evidenced by the fluorescence...

Abbreviations for amino acids and their derivatives follow the revised recommendation of the lUPAC-IUB Committee on Biochemical Nomenclature, entitled Nomenclature and Symbohsm for Amino Acids and Peptides (recommendations of 1983). Nomenclature of branched polypeptides is used in accordance with the recommended nomenclature of graft polymers (lUPAC-lUB recommendations, 1984). For the sake of brevity codes of branched polypeptides were constracted by us using the one-letter symbols of amino acids (Table 1). The abbreviations used in this paper are the following. AK, poly[Lys-(DL-Ala )] AXK, poly[Lys-(DL-Ala -Xi)] XAK, poly[Lys(Xi-DL-Ala )] X = Ser (SAK), Om (OAK), Glu (EAK), or Ac-Glu (Ac-EAK). All amino acids are of L-configuration unless otherwise stated.
