3-(4-Carboxybenzoyl)quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde

3-(4-Carboxybenzoyl)quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde (CBQCA) is a fluorogenic amine labeling dye that is not fluorescent itself, but covalently reacts with primary amines to form fluorescent products.[1] It was first reported in 1991.[2]

CBQCA is largely used in the context of quantifying peptides or proteins. Either cyanide or thiols are required as a co-substrate in the fluorogenic reaction, although thiols also react with and mask the CBQCA aldehyde thereby preventing the fluorogenic reaction against the targeted primary amines.[1] Once bound to protein the excitation wavelength is 465 nm (blue) and the emission wavelength is ~550 nm (green).[3]
