Abstract

It is shown that fluorescein is susceptible to bleaching in the presence of organic peroxides, hydroperoxides and oxyradicals. The effectiveness with which enzymes, which can inhibit oxidation processes, retard the photobleaching of fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugates indicates that dye/protein oxidation products are involved in the mechanism of dye fading.
