First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fluorescent dye for labelling a biological molecule comprising:
- a donor group, said donor group comprising a UV absorbing chromophore;
at least one acceptor group, said acceptor group comprising a fluorescent emitter, wherein said UV chromophore absorbs energy at a lower wavelength than that emitted by the fluorescent emitter, and said donor group and said acceptor group are conjugated to each other such that energy transfer between the donor group and the acceptor group comprises transfer via a through bond mechanism.
