FLNRs

FLNRs, or Fluorescent Nucleoside Analogs, are synthetic molecules that mimic natural nucleosides but possess a fluorescent tag. These compounds are widely used in molecular biology and biochemical research as tools for labeling and tracking nucleic acids. The fluorescent moiety allows researchers to visualize the location and dynamics of DNA and RNA within cells or in vitro. FLNRs can be incorporated into DNA or RNA strands during synthesis, either enzymatically or chemically. Once incorporated, their fluorescence can be detected using various imaging techniques, such as microscopy or flow cytometry. The specific properties of FLNRs, including their excitation and emission wavelengths, can be tailored by choosing different fluorescent dyes. This versatility makes them useful for a range of applications, including gene expression analysis, DNA replication studies, and the development of diagnostic assays. Their ability to provide real-time, non-invasive monitoring of nucleic acid behavior has made them indispensable tools in modern life sciences.
