| Description | STY-BODIPY is a styrene-conjugated fluorogenic probe for radical-trapping antioxidant (RTA) activity.1 Co-autoxidation of the STY-BODIPY signal carrier and a hydrocarbon co-substrate can be quantified by monitoring the loss of absorbance at 571 nm. STY-BODIPY has been used to measure the activity of RTAs, as well as the kinetics and stoichiometry of RTA reactions in cell-free assays.1,2,3 |
