Humans are constantly exposed to diverse chemical and physical agents that have the potential to damage DNA, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), ionizing radiation (IR), UV light, and various environmental, dietary or pollutant chemical agents. The integrity and survival of a cell is critically dependent on genome stability, and cells possess multi‐ ple pathways to repair these DNA lesions. ...

A colorimetric and fluorescent probe C-Py-1 for ONOO(-) was prepared and it could exhibit high sensitivity and excellent selectivity toward ONOO(-) among reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) with a rapid response time in 100% water solution. Meanwhile, C-Py-1 was successfully applied in the imaging of endogenous ONOO(-) in RAW264.7 cells.
