Abstract

A fluorogenic thiamine analogue is presented as a fluorescent probe for thiaminase activity. The emission of the fluorophore is quenched by photoinduced electron transfer (PET) to the N-substituted pyridinium portion of the probe. Action of the enzyme releases the free pyridine group causing a substantial increase in fluorescence.
