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 کاملLive cell optical sensing for high throughput applications.
Live cell optical sensing employs label-free optical biosensors to non-invasively measure stimulus-induced dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) in live cells within the sensing volume of the biosensor. The resultant DMR signal is an integrated cellular response, and reflects cell signaling mediated through the cellular target(s) with which the stimulus intervenes. This article describes the uses o...
متن کاملSubstituent effects in stilbene-based merocyanine dyes
Students in organic chemistry are taught a number of fundamental principles concerning the factors which govern the properties of organic compounds. Among these principles is the effect of substituents on the properties of aromatic rings, especially the benzene ring. For instance, we teach the students that the reactivity of the benzene molecule towards electrophilic substitution reactions is e...
متن کاملEvaluation of Chemical Fluorescent Dyes as a Protein Conjugation Partner for Live Cell Imaging
To optimize live cell fluorescence imaging, the choice of fluorescent substrate is a critical factor. Although genetically encoded fluorescent proteins have been used widely, chemical fluorescent dyes are still useful when conjugated to proteins or ligands. However, little information is available for the suitability of different fluorescent dyes for live imaging. We here systematically analyze...
متن کاملApplications of gold nanoparticles for medical imaging
Background & Aim: Molecular imaging enables us to non-invasively visualize tissue microstructures and lesion characterization, allowing accurate diagnosis of diseases at early stages. A successful molecular imaging requires a nontoxic contrast agent with high sensitivity. Nowadays, a wide range of nanoparticles have been developed as contrast agents for medical imaging modalities. Here, we revi...
