Abstract
A new derivative of 4-methoxy-1,8-naphthalimide containing a chelating motif of lysine-derived mono-N-nitrilotriacetic acid effectively coordinates with Ni2+ in a HEPES-buffer solution resulting in the formation of 1 : 1 ligand-metal complex. This demonstrates the possibility to stain Hislabeled proteins on a gel after electrophoresis to make the analysis and purification of proteins more convenient.
