Abstract
Provided herein are a luminogen compound of formula (I) including a AIE luminophore moiety conjugated with a maleimide moiety and a use of the same for detecting thiol groups in biomolecules. Also provided is a dye molecule, a biosensor or a bioprobe comprising the luminogen compound of formula (I) in use for detecting thiol groups in biomolecules. The detection method of the present subject matter not only has high thio-selectivity and sensitivity, but also is rapid, convenient and handy.
