Abstract

BACKGROUND: Fluorescent detection methods are indispensable tools for chemical biology. However, the frequent appearance of potential fluorescent compound has greatly interfered with the recognition of compounds with genuine activity. Such fluorescence interference is especially difficult to identify as it is reproducible and possesses concentration-dependent characteristic. Therefore, the development of a credible screening tool to detect fluorescent compounds from chemical libraries is urgently needed in early stages of drug discovery.
