title: A broad spectrum dark quencher: construction of multiple colour protease and photolytic sensors.
abstract: An anthraquinone-based fluorescent quencher is described that is applicable to fluorophores throughout the visible spectrum and into the near IR. This species has been used to construct a palate of multicolour sensors of proteolysis and photolysis.
