General description

SynaptoGreen™ C4 is an oxonol dye that helps in the rapid detection of an antibiotic′s effect on bacterial viability. It is a fluorescent dye that is used in optical imaging studies to determine synaptic activity by staining synaptic vesicles at the nerve terminal or the neuromuscular junction. It is equivalent to FM1-43.

Application

SynaptoGreen™ C4 has been used to label cultured neurons grown on EM grids for fluorescent labeling, live light microscopy and imaging studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A fluorescent nerve terminal dye suitable for monitoring synaptic activity at synapses and at neuromuscular junctions.

Other Notes

Component of NTSI, also sold individually.

Uncultured microorganisms comprise most of the microbial diversity existing on our planet. Despite advances in environmental sequencing and single-cell genomics, in-depth studies about bacterial metabolism and screening of novel bioproducts can only be assessed by culturing microbes in the laboratory.

Rapsyn-deficient myasthenic syndrome is characterized by a weakness in voluntary muscle contraction, a direct consequence of greatly reduced synaptic responses that result from poorly clustered acetylcholine receptors. As with other myasthenic syndromes, the general muscle weakness is also accompanied by
