Epicocconone is long Stokes’ shift fluorescent dye found in fungus Epicoccum nigrum. Though weakly fluorescent in water (green emission 520 nm) it reacts reversibly with protein to give strong orange emission (610 nm). This dye could be used as a sensitive quantitative determination of protein concentration.
