Fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors for detection of nucleotides, FAD and NADH: highlighted research during 2004-2010

Chem Soc Rev. 2011 May;40(5):2222-35. doi: 10.1039/c0cs00169d. Epub 2011 Feb 18.

Abstract

Due to the biological importance of nucleotides and related species, such as XNP (where X = adenosine (A), uridine (U), cytidine (C), guanosine (G), and N = mono, di, tri), FAD and NADH, the development of optical probes for these molecules has recently been an active area of research. This tutorial review focuses on the contributions between 2004-2010 concerning the fluorescent or colorimetric sensors for these biomolecules, and is organized according to their target molecule's structural classification.
