The Solvatochromatic properties of MDH.
(A) MDH contains a fluorescent dansyl moiety that displays strong solvatochromatic properties. (B) MDH absorption spectrum in water and methanol. (C) MDH emission in different solvents (H2O/methanol/isopropanol/sunflower seed oil); the MDH emission maxima shifted from 570 nm to 485 nm with decreasing solvent polarity (when excited with 405 nm).
