The thiol-reactive IANBD amide can be used to create environment sensitive probes. The absorption and fluorescence emission spectra, quantum yields, and extinction coefficients of NBD conjugates are all markedly dependent on solvent. Additionally, NBD is also a function analog of the dinitrophenyl hapten, and its fluorescence is quenched upon binding to anti-dinitrophenyl (anti-DNP) antibodies.
