Caged compounds, i.e. synthetic chemical compounds whose chemical or biochemical activity is normally controlled by photolysis to release an active moiety to participate in a chemical or biochemical reaction, are subjected to electrical current instead of light to release the active moiety. The process is especially useful in chemiluminescent biochemical assays, where it is required to measure the light output in order to quantify the analyte under measurement, since avoids confusion between input energy to trigger the reaction, and light output for measurement purposes.
笼状化合物,即
化学或生化活性通常由光解控制的合成化合物,释放出活性分子参与
化学或生化反应。这种工艺在
化学发光生化检测中特别有用,因为它避免了引发反应的输入能量与用于测量的光输出之间的混淆。
