Bioactivity | 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA is a difluoro-derivative of BAPTA (HY-100168). 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA is the most widely used probe for studying cytosolic free Ca2+ by 19F NMR. 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA has high selectivity for Ca2+. 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA can inhibit the growth of pollen tube[1][2]. |
Invitro | 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA shows large 19F NMR chemical shifts upon chelating divalent cations[1].Fe2+ ion concentrations were measured following addition of 5 mM 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA to the culture medium. Fe2+ forms a complex with 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA (Kd=50 nM) that exhibits a characteristic peak down-field from biological ions such as Ca2+ and Zn2+[3]. |
