Epicocconone, a novel fluorescent compound from the fungus epicoccumnigrum.
Epicocconone represents a new class of natural fluorescent probes based on a polyketide skeleton isolated from the fungus Epicoccum nigrum. Epicocconone is a small, cell permeable natural product with a high molar absorbtivity and a long Stokes' shift that will be useful in biotechnological applications.
