title: Alizarin Red S. as a general optical reporter for studying the binding of boronic acids with carbohydrates.
abstract: Alizarin Red S. displays a dramatic change in fluorescence intensity and color in response to the binding of a boronic acid and can be used as a general reporter for studying carbohydrate-boronic acid interactions, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
