Fluorescent dyes of the esculetin and alizarin families respond to zinc ions ratiometrically.
Commercially available dyes of the esculetin and alizarin families are identified as lead structures for constructing ratiometric fluorescent probes for zinc ions.
متن کاملA two-photon fluorescent probe for lysosomal zinc ions.
The selective detection of zinc ions in lysosomes over that in cytosol is achieved with a fluorescent probe, which enabled the fluorescence imaging of endogenous zinc ions in lysosomes of NIH 3T3 cells as well as mouse hippocampal tissues by two-photon microscopy under excitation at 900 nm.
متن کاملBinding of zinc(II) and copper(II) to the full-length Alzheimer's amyloid-beta peptide.
There is evidence that binding of metal ions like Zn2+ and Cu2+ to amyloid beta-peptides (Abeta) may contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Cu2+ and Zn2+ form complexes with Abeta peptides in vitro; however, the published metal-binding affinities of Abeta vary in an enormously large range. We studied the interactions of Cu2+ and Zn2+ with monomeric Abeta(40) under different cond...
متن کاملAccumulation of zinc in degenerating hippocampal neurons of ZnT3-null mice after seizures: evidence against synaptic vesicle origin.
In several brain injury models, zinc accumulates in degenerating neuronal somata. Suggesting that such zinc accumulation may play a causal role in neurodegeneration, zinc chelation attenuates neuronal death. Because histochemically reactive zinc is present in and released from synaptic vesicles of glutamatergic neurons in the forebrain, it was proposed that zinc translocation from presynaptic t...
متن کاملRatiometric and intensity-based zinc sensors built on rhodol and rhodamine platforms.
A xanthene-forming condensation reaction yields rhodol and rhodamine dyes carrying a zinc-binding ligand that includes the aniline-type nitrogen donor of the fluorophores. Upon zinc coordination in neutral aqueous solution, rhodol RF3 behaves as a ratiometric sensor, and rhodamine RA1 acts as a turn-off intensity-based indicator. Both fluorescent compounds bind the divalent zinc cation with mic...
