title: Recognition of saccharides in the NIR region with a novel fluorogenic boronolectin: in vitro and live cell labeling.
abstract: This work describes a novel mono-boronic acid derivative of a tricarbocyanine. The probe is a genuine near-infrared fluorescence emitter with improved properties such as a large Stokes shift, excellent water solubility and sensitive fluorogenicity upon binding to carbohydrates under physiological conditions.
