Reaction-based small-molecule fluorescent probes for chemoselective bioimaging

TL;DR: A survey of tools and tactics for using small-molecule fluorescent probes to detect biologically important chemical analytes is presented, highlighting design criteria for effective chemical tools for use in biological applications as well as gaps for future exploration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective molecular imaging of viable cancer cells with pH-activatable fluorescence probes.

TL;DR: A newly designed targeted 'activatable' fluorescent imaging probe that is highly specific for tumors with minimal background signal and can be widely adapted to cancer-specific, cell surface–targeting molecules that result in cellular internalization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small-molecule fluorescent sensors for investigating zinc metalloneurochemistry.

TL;DR: This Account summarizes work by the laboratory addressing the design, preparation, characterization, and use of small-molecule fluorescent sensors for imaging Zn(II) in living cells and samples of brain tissue, and devised sensors with varied photophysical and metal-binding properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluoride ion recognition by chelating and cationic boranes.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that Coulombic and chelate effects are additive and can be combined to boost the anion affinity of Lewis acidic hosts and to overcome the incompatibility of these systems with aqueous media.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluorescent probes for bioimaging applications.

TL;DR: This review recounts some recent achievements in the field of small-molecular fluorescent probes, and methodologies to visualize proteases are discussed, with special emphasis on activity-based probes for use in vivo.
