A highly sensitive fluorescence probe for fast thiol-quantification assay of glutathione reductase.

Fast detection of cellular thiols in aqueous medium was achieved using a newly developed fluorescence probe (see picture). Based on this probe, a high-throughput fluorescence assay for glutathione reductase was developed.
