TNS sodium
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
TNS (6-(p-Tolylamino) naphthalene-2-sulfonate) sodium is a fluorescent probe used to detect the conformational state of proteins. TNS sodium binds to the central hydrophobic calyx of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) to form a 1:1 complex, which stabilizes the folded conformation of β-LG. TNS sodium shows weak fluorescent signals in aqueous solution, but its fluorescence intensity increases significantly upon binding to the hydrophobic domains of proteins, with the maximum excitation wavelength and maximum emission wavelength located at 321 nm and 446 nm, respectively.

Biological Activity
TNS (10 μM TNS, 10 μM β-LG; 298 K) sodium binds to purified bovine β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) at a distance of 2.5 nm from the Trp19 residue of β-LG at pH 7.0[1].
TNS (sodium) (25 μM TNS, 25 μM β-LG; incubated with 0-1.2 M NaCl) binding to purified bovine β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) at pH 7.0 is disrupted by increasing ionic strength (via NaCl), with the most significant disruption occurring at NaCl concentrations between 0 M and 0.25 M[1].
TNS (10 μM TNS, 10 μM β-LG; 20 min) sodium binding to purified bovine β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) at pH 7.0 stabilizes its fold, increasing the guanidine hydrochloride concentration required for unfolding from a midpoint of 2.3 M to 3.9 M[1].
