Notes: 2-NBDG is a fluorescent derivative of glucose whose uptake is competitively inhibited by D-glucose (Item No. 23733), but not L-glucose (Item No. 20829) or sucrose, in E. coli.{20027} It has been used to monitor glucose uptake by bacteria and live mammalian cells and in tumor biopsies.{20027,19928,20025,20026} 2-NBDG displays excitation/emission maxima of 475/550 nm, respectively.{20027}
