This book provides an overview of organic molecule-based fluorescent compounds and their applications as sensors and biosensors. The initial chapter introduces fundamental fluorescence concepts and their significance in biosensing. The book, in turn, details the synthesis of various scaffolds including Xanthene, BODIPY, Julolidine, Cyanine, Quinoline, Phenanthiridine, Acridine, Rhodamine, Benzothiazole, Coumarin, Perylene, and Carbazole. The subsequent section covers the use of these organic fluorescent molecules in sensing proteins and DNA through selective binding, ion indicators for real-time tracking, and receptor-specific ligands for interaction studies. It also explores cellular component visualization using organelle markers and membrane probes. Additionally, the book delves into the application of fluorescent organic molecules for sensing lipids, carbohydrates, and other biological molecules, fostering interdisciplinary understanding. Addressing environmental concerns, the book highlights the use of fluorescent probes for analyte analysis, providing insights into pollution monitoring and water quality assessment. This book is useful for researchers, students, and professionals seeking to understand and harness the potential of these innovative biosensing technologies.
