We supply a variety of fluorogens, each with their own spectral properties and binding affinities for particular FAPs.

For simplicity and clarity, we name the FAPs and fluorogens such that the alpha FAPs bind and activate alpha fluorogens, while the beta FAPs bind and activate beta fluorogens.

The names of our FAPs and fluorogens, and the references to them in the primary literature, are listed in the table below.
