Journal ArticleDOI
Photoisomerization in different classes of azobenzene
TL;DR: This critical review details the studies completed to date on the 3 main classes of azobenzene derivatives and explains the mechanism behind the isomerization mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescent Sensors for Zn2+ Based on a Fluorescein Platform: Synthesis, Properties and Intracellular Distribution
TL;DR: The X-ray crystal structure of a 2:1 Zn(2+):Zinpyr-1 complex has been solved, and is the first structurally characterized example of a complex of fluorescein substituted with metal binding ligands, making them well-suited for intracellular applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Cell-Permeable Fluorescent Probe for Zn2+
TL;DR: Although Zn2+ is abundant in eukaryotes and most is tightly bound, pools of chelatable Zn 2+ have been imaged in living cells with concentrations ranging from sub-nM in undifferentiated mammalian cells 10 to ∼0.3 mM in hippocampal nerve synaptic vesicles, interest in the field remains high.
Journal ArticleDOI
ZP4, an Improved Neuronal Zn2+ Sensor of the Zinpyr Family
TL;DR: A second-generation fluorescent sensor for Zn(2+) from the Zinpyr family, ZP4, has been synthesized and characterized and a 5-fold fluorescent enhancement is observed under simulated physiological conditions corresponding to the binding of the Zn (2+) cation to the sensor, which inhibits a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) quenching pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meeting of the minds: Metalloneurochemistry
TL;DR: Metalochaperones help to achieve metal ion homeostasis and thus prevent neurological diseases because of metal ion imbalance and much detailed chemical information about these systems has become available recently.
