title: Practical syntheses of dyes for difference gel electrophoresis.
abstract: The three dyes (two indocyanine and one benzoxazolium) useful in difference gel electrophoresis-methyl Cy5 1, propyl Cy3 2, and the benzoxazolium dye Cy2 3--and their NHS esters have been prepared by efficient routes in good overall yield from inexpensive precursors.
