ABSTRACT:
The extent of binding of a moiety, such as a biomolecule, to a surface, where the local environment at the surface has a pH or surface potential which is altered upon binding of the moiety, is determined by stably incorporating at the surface a probe which contains a pH- or potential-sensitive fluorophore.
