A dual-emission and large Stokes shift fluorescence probe for real-time discrimination of ROS/RNS and imaging in live cells†
Abstract
A novel dual-emission fluorescence probe has been developed for specific and sensitive detection of hypochlorite (ClO−). Upon addition of ClO−, significant changes in fluorescence emission intensity at two discrete wavelengths were observed. Meanwhile OONO− led to only a single-channel fluorescence enhancement. This feature makes it a clear advantage in distinguishing ClO−, RNS from other ROS.
