A coumarin-amide-dipicolylamine linkage (L) was synthesized and used as a fluorescent receptor for metal cations in water. The receptor dissolved in water with neutral pH shows almost no fluorescence due to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the amide and

A photo-switchable fluorescent flagging approach has been developed to identify photoaffinity-labeled peptides in target protein. Upon photochemical release of the ligand, the protein was newly modified with a coumarin in place of the previously attached biotin. It allowed us to
