Merocyanine dyes with improved photostability.
Merocyanine dyes have proven valuable for live cell fluorescence imaging applications, but many structures have been limited by rapid photobleaching. We show that photostability is substantially enhanced for merocyanines having a cyano group at a specific position in the central polymethine chain. Evidence is presented that this is due to reduction in reactivity of the dyes with singlet oxygen....
متن کاملEnhancing the photostability of poly(3-hexylthiophene) by preparing composites with multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) degrades in organic solvents containing dissolved molecular oxygen when irradiated with ultraviolet light. Hence, it is important to develop strategies that can enhance the photostability of P3HT and enhance the device performance. In this work, we report that preparing composites of P3HT with appropriate amounts of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) results in su...
متن کاملEnhancing single-molecule photostability by optical feedback from quantum jump detection
We report an optical technique that yields an enhancement of single-molecule photostability by greatly suppressing photobleaching pathways which involve photoexcitation from the triplet state. This is accomplished by dynamically switching off the excitation laser when a quantum jump of the molecule to the triplet state is optically detected. The resulting improvement in photostability unambiguo...
متن کاملImproving brightness and photostability of green and red fluorescent proteins for live cell imaging and FRET reporting
Many genetically encoded biosensors use Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to dynamically report biomolecular activities. While pairs of cyan and yellow fluorescent proteins (FPs) are most commonly used as FRET partner fluorophores, respectively, green and red FPs offer distinct advantages for FRET, such as greater spectral separation, less phototoxicity, and lower autofluorescence. We pr...
متن کاملFourth-Generation Epac-Based FRET Sensors for cAMP Feature Exceptional Brightness, Photostability and Dynamic Range: Characterization of Dedicated Sensors for FLIM, for Ratiometry and with High Affinity
Epac-based FRET sensors have been widely used for the detection of cAMP concentrations in living cells. Originally developed by us as well as others, we have since then reported several important optimizations that make these sensors favourite among many cell biologists. We here report cloning and characterization of our fourth generation of cAMP sensors, which feature outstanding photostabilit...
