Note:

Extinction coefficient at their maximum absorption wavelength. The units of extinction coefficient are cm-1M-1.
FQY = fluorescence quantum yield in aqueous buffer (pH 7.2).
CF at 260 nm is the correction factor used for eliminating the dye contribution to the absorbance at 260 nm.
CF at 280 nm is the correction factor used for eliminating the dye contribution to the absorbance at 280 nm (for peptides and protein labeling).
Fluorescence intensity is significantly increased upon coupling to proteins.
