Cy5 NHS ester

Cy5 NHS ester(Cyanine5 NHS ester) is a Red emitting fluorescent dye for labeling of amino-groups in peptides, proteins, and oligonucleotides^[1]. The excitation and emission at 646 and 669nm, respectively^[2].

Cy5 NHS ester solution at 10 mg/ml in DMSO. Cy5 NHS ester amine-reactive red emitting fluorescent dye was used to react with the free amino group on the cysteine amino acid present in terminal peptides used for end-capping pBAEs backbones^[1]. On the other hand， 1 mg of Cy5 NHS ester dye was dissolved in 0.1 ml of 62.5mM sodium tetraborate buffer (pH 8.5). After adding L-methionine in saturation, the mixture was incubated overnight at 4 °C. Fluorophore (Cy5)-conjugated methionine (Cy5-Met) was purified by reverse-phase chromatography on an Agilent HPLC system using a C18 column^[3].
