title: Fluorescence probes for thiol-containing amino acids and peptides in aqueous solution.
abstract: A new fluorescence probe is described using the "chemosensing ensemble" method. The probe shows high selectivity and sensitivity for thiol-containing amino acids and peptides, and can detect cysteine and homocysteine from healthy to abnormal levels under physiologically-relevant conditions.
