“…). Based on their attractive properties (described in previously published protocols, i.e., synthesis of fluorescent derivatives with high fluorescence quantum yield, compatibility of the excitation wavelength of the derivatized products with commercially available laser sources, stability of the fluorescent adducts, fast reaction rates, and low background signal for NDA and FQ), three different amine‐reactive probes have been selected to label both peptides, two fluorogenic dyes, NDA , and FQ , and one fluorescent dye, TAMRA‐SE . The performance of these dyes, based on the rate of reaction, the degree of substitution, and the detectability of fluorescent products have been compared using CE‐LIF and MS.…”
