Projects Lighting up sugars – fluorescent probes for mono-saccharides The project will involve exploring the chemistry of the fluorescent BODIPY molecule and its chemistry with sugars, focusing on mono- and disaccharides. Read more Student intake Open for Honours, Master, PhD, Summer scholar students Read more Modular fluorescent tags: clickable BODIPYs BODIPY dyes are widely used as fluorescent tags for key sites in biomolecules. An alternative approach is to develop amine-functionalised BODIPYs which could be appended to peptides or proteins via a cysteine residue.
