Fluorescent Peptides & Dye Labeled Peptides


Fluorescent peptides are indispensable tools in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biotechnology. These peptides, labeled with fluorescent dyes, are used extensively for protein binding and localization studies, enabling researchers to track and visualize various biological processes with high precision.
