Azetidinyl Malachite Green: a superior fluorogen-activating protein probe for live-cell and dynamic SIM imaging.
Malachite Green (MG) and its fluorogen-activating protein (FAP) pair are valuable tools for live-cell and super-resolution fluorescence imaging due to their unique near-infrared absorption and signal enhancement. However, the low brightness and photostability of MG have limited its use in dynamic imaging. In this study, we introduce a novel derivative, azetidinly Malachite Green (Aze-MG), which enhances the brightness of the MG-FAP complex by 2.6-fold. This enhancement is achieved by replacing the N,N-dimethylamino group in MG with an azetidine group, which suppresses the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) effect, leading to improved quantum yield and photostability. Additionally, the reduced binding affinity of Aze-MG for FAP enables a buffering strategy, allowing the reversible exchange of photobleached fluorogens with free fluorogens, thereby ensuring stable fluorescence over time. This combination of improved brightness and buffering capability makes Aze-MG an ideal probe for live-cell and dynamic SIM imaging.
期刊介绍：
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
