This minireview highlights recent advances of research dedicated to photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles and their applications. Recently, several strategies have been developed to synthesize nanoparticles with optically switchable emission properties: either fluorescence on/off or dual‐alternating‐color fluorescence photoswitching. The underlying mechanisms of fluorescence photoswitching enable many different types of photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles to change fluorescence colors, thus validating the basis of the initial photoswitching design. Among all possible applications, the usage of photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles to empower super‐resolution fluorescence imaging and to label biological targets was subsequently reviewed. Finally, we summarize the important areas regarding future research and development on photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles. 相似文献

The photophysical properties and photoswitching scheme of the reversible photoswitchable green fluorescent protein-like fluorescent proteins Dronpa-2 and Dronpa-3 were investigated by means of ensemble and single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and compared to those of the precursor protein Dronpa. The faster response to light and the faster dark recovery of the new mutants observed in bulk also hold at the single-molecule level. Analysis of the single-molecule traces allows us to extract the efficiencies and rate constants of the pathways involved in the forward and backward switching, and we find important differences when comparing the mutants to Dronpa. We rationalize our results in terms of a higher conformational freedom of the chromophore in the protein environment provided by the beta-can. This thorough understanding of the photophysical parameters has allowed us to optimize the acquisition parameters for camera-based sub-diffraction-limit imaging with these photochromic proteins. We show that Dronpa and its mutants are useful for fast photoactivation-localization microscopy (PALM) using common wide-field microscopy equipment, as individual fluorescent proteins can be localized several times. We provide a new approach to achieve fast PALM by introducing simultaneous two-color stroboscopic illumination. 相似文献

We review fluorescent probes that can be photoswitched or photoactivated and are suited for single-molecule localization based super-resolution microscopy. We exploit the underlying photochemical mechanisms that allow photoswitching of many synthetic organic fluorophores in the presence of reducing agents, and study the impact of these on the photoswitching properties of various photoactivatable or photoconvertible fluorescent proteins. We have identified mEos2 as a fluorescent protein that exhibits reversible photoswitching under various imaging buffer conditions and present strategies to characterize reversible photoswitching. Finally, we discuss opportunities to combine fluorescent proteins with organic fluorophores for dual-color photoswitching microscopy. 相似文献

Both photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles and photoactivatable fluorescent proteins have been used for super-resolution far-field imaging on the nanometer scale, but the photoactivating wavelength for such photochemical events generally falls in the near-UV (NUV) region (<420 nm), which is not preferred in cellular imaging. However, using two near-IR (NIR) photons that are lower in energy, we can circumvent such problems and replace NUV single-photon excitations (e.g., 390 nm) with NIR two-photon excitations (e.g., 780 nm). Thus, we have demonstrated that alternating 780 nm NIR two-photon and 488 nm single-photon excitations induces reversible on-off fluorescence switching of immunotargeted nanoparticles in the human breast cancer cell line SK-BR-3. Herein, two-photon absorption not only caused spiropyran-merocyanine photoisomerization within the particles but also imparted red fluorescence. In comparison with single-photon NUV excitations, two-photon NIR laser excitations can potentially reduce absorption-related photodamage to living systems because cellular systems absorb much more weakly in the NIR. 相似文献

Fluorescence photoswitching using nanomaterials has recently emerged as a promising approach for the imaging of biological targets. However, despite intensive research efforts during the last decade, practical microscopy of biological targets using photoswitchable nanoparticles in real time remains challenging. To address this problem, we have developed live macrophage cell imaging and single particle imaging methods, using photoswitchable fluorescent diarylethene‐doped polymer nanoparticles (P‐dots) under Xe lamp irradiation. We established a 34‐times prolonged “off‐state”, using P‐dots doped with a diarylethene‐containing methoxy substituent, upon visible‐light irradiation using a Xe lamp and a green fluorescent protein filter cube. To demonstrate the practicality of doped P‐dots imaging, we imaged lysosomes in macrophage cells, and observed 11‐times slower recovery of the fluorescence from the “off‐state” to the “on‐state”, indicating their potential for cellular imaging. 相似文献

Reversibly photoswitchable 1,2‐bis(2‐ethyl‐6‐phenyl‐1‐benzothiophene‐1,1‐dioxide‐3‐yl)perfluorocyclopentenes (EBT) having fluorescent “closed” forms were decorated with four or eight carboxylic groups and attached to antibodies. Low aggregation, efficient photoswitching in aqueous buffers, specific staining of cellular structures, and good photophysical properties were demonstrated. Alternating light pulses of UV and blue light induce numerous reversible photochemical transformations between two stables states with distinct structures. Using relatively low light intensities, EBTs were applied in biology‐related super‐resolution microscopy based on the reversible saturable (switchable) optical linear fluorescence transitions (RESOLFT) and demonstrated optical resolution of 75 nm. 相似文献

Beyond-diffraction-limit optical imaging of cells will reveal biological mechanisms, cellular structures, and physiological processes in nanometer scale. Harnessing the photoswitching properties of spiropyran fluorophores, we achieved nanoresolution fluorescence imaging using photoactuated unimolecular logical switching attained reconstruction (PULSAR) microscopy. The PULSAR microscope successfully resolved nanostructures and subcellular organelles when the photoswitchable nanoparticles containing spiropyran dyes were used as fluorescent probes. 相似文献

Photoactivatable fluorescent proteins are essential players in nanoscopy approaches based on the super-localization of single molecules. The subclass of reversibly photoswitchable fluorescent proteins typically activate through isomerization of the chromophore coupled with a change in its protonation state. However, the interplay between these two events, the details of photoswitching pathways, and the role of protein dynamics remain incompletely understood. Here, by using a combination of structural and spectroscopic approaches, we discovered two fluorescent intermediate states along the on-switching pathway of the fluorescent protein Padron. The first intermediate can be populated at temperatures as low as 100 K and results from a remarkable trans-cis isomerization of the anionic chromophore taking place within a protein matrix essentially deprived of conformational flexibility. This intermediate evolves in the dark at cryotemperatures to a second structurally similar but spectroscopically distinct anionic intermediate. The final fluorescent state, which consists of a mixture of anionic and neutral chromophores in the cis configuration, is only reached above the glass transition temperature, suggesting that chromophore protonation involves solvent interactions mediated by pronounced dynamical breathing of the protein scaffold. The possibility of efficiently and reversibly photoactivating Padron at cryotemperatures will facilitate the development of advanced super-resolution imaging modalities such as cryonanoscopy. 相似文献

Advanced fluorescence imaging, including subdiffraction microscopy, relies on fluorophores with controllable emission properties. Chief among these fluorophores are the photoactivatable fluorescent proteins capable of reversible on/off photoswitching or irreversible green-to-red photoconversion. IrisFP was recently reported as the first fluorescent protein combining these two types of phototransformations. The introduction of this protein resulted in new applications such as super-resolution pulse-chase imaging. However, the spectroscopic properties of IrisFP are far from being optimal and its tetrameric organization complicates its use as a fusion tag. Here, we demonstrate how four-state optical highlighting can be rationally introduced into photoconvertible fluorescent proteins and develop and characterize a new set of such enhanced optical highlighters derived from mEosFP and Dendra2. We present in particular NijiFP, a promising new fluorescent protein with photoconvertible and biphotochromic properties that make it ideal for advanced fluorescence-based imaging applications. 相似文献

Two self-assembled monolayer (SAM) films containing the photoswitchable 4-pyridylazophenoxy chromophore have been deposited onto a gold-coated glass substrate. One film contains the chromophore as a single component, 1 SAM, and the other is doped with a nonphotoactive component as a 1:1 mixture, 2 SAM. The reversible photoswitching performances of 1 SAM and 2 SAM via the evanescence field using light of appropriate wavelengths have been investigated by UV spectroscopic and electrochemical monitoring. In principle, the trans-form SAMs present a coordinating surface, the "on" state, that can be switched "off" in the cis form. This has been illustrated by immersing both the as-deposited (trans form) SAMs and the photoswitched (predominantly cis form) SAMs into solutions of cobalt and zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (CoTPP and ZnTPP, respectively) and an octaoctyl-substituted cobalt phthalocyanine. In a further phase of this study, the remote control of binding events at the surface of the SAMs has been demonstrated through evanescent-field-driven photoswitching of trans-form SAMs coordinated at the surfaces with examples of these metallomacrocycles. This photoswitching was undertaken with the constructs immersed in neat toluene, and the macrocycles were released from the surface into the solvent. The release was measured by spectroscopic monitoring of the material remaining on the constructs. The study was extended to develop an in situ release/coordination cycle. Thus, irradiation of a construct of ZnTPP bound to the surface of trans-form 2 SAM using waveguided light at 365 nm releases the macrocycle into a toluene solution of ZnTPP. Further irradiation of the SAM, now in its cis form, with waveguided 439 nm light regenerates the trans form, which recoordinates ZnTPP from the solution. The results demonstrate the potential for using waveguided light to control molecular events within and at the surfaces of SAM constructs. 相似文献

Phytofluors are highly fluorescent proteins in which the chromophore in a phytochrome is replaced with phycoerythrobilin (PEB), the pigment precursor of the cyanobacterial light harvesting protein phycoerythrin. We examined the fluorescence spectra of the N-terminal region of the cyanobacterial phytochrome 1 from cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. Pcc 6803 bound to PEB. This protein, Cph1(N514)-PEB, displayed a good two-photon cross-section of 20–30 GM for excitation at 792 nm. This phytofluor also exhibits a high fundamental anisotropy at most practical two-photon excitation (2PE) wavelengths from 700 to 900 nm. Identical lifetimes and correlation times with one and 2PE indicates that the phytofluor is not adversely affected by the intensities needed for 2PE. The one-photon absorption extends well beyond the absorption spectrum and even beyond the emission spectrum to 700 nm. The phytofluor thus appears to be a suitable probe for 2PE and/or cellular imaging. 相似文献

Dyads consisting of a photochromic switch covalently linked to a fluorescent dye allow the emission from the dye to be controlled by reversible photoisomerization of the switch; one form of the switch quenches fluorescence by accepting energy from the dye. Here we investigate the use of dyads of this type for super-resolution imaging of lipid bilayers. Giant unilamellar vesicles stained with the dyads were imaged with about a two-fold resolution-enhancement compared with conventional confocal microscopy. This was achieved by exciting the fluorophore at 594 nm, using a switch activated by violet and red light (405/640 nm).A photoswitchable quencher can be used to reversibly turn off the emission from a fluorescent dye, generating a small molecule dyad that is effective for super-resolution RESOLFT microscopy. 相似文献

The fast and reversible on/off switching of the fluorescence emission of the GFP-like fluorescent protein Dronpa has attracted considerable interest for applications in subdiffraction imaging. In this paper we study the use of a donut-mode beam in combination with two more overlapping laser beams to increase the imaging resolution through selective switching to the nonfluorescent photoswitched state. We devise and run a series of numerical simulations to determine suitable photophysical parameters of prospective, thermally stable photoswitchable molecules, in terms of photoswitching quantum yields, fatigue resistance, and possible presence of transient nonfluorescent states. Many of our findings are applicable to other measurements that make use of donut beams, and these guidelines can be used in the synthesis and screening of novel photoswitchable compounds. We experimentally demonstrate the possibility of obtaining increased resolution by making use of the efficient and thermally stable Dronpa photoswitching, using equipment that is commonly available. 相似文献

Photoconversion of fluorescent proteins by blue and complementary near‐infrared light, termed primed conversion (PC), is a mechanism recently discovered for Dendra2. We demonstrate that controlling the conformation of arginine at residue 66 by threonine at residue 69 of fluorescent proteins from Anthozoan families (Dendra2, mMaple, Eos, mKikGR, pcDronpa protein families) represents a general route to facilitate PC. Mutations of alanine 159 or serine 173, which are known to influence chromophore flexibility and allow for reversible photoswitching, prevent PC. In addition, we report enhanced photoconversion for pcDronpa variants with asparagine 116. We demonstrate live‐cell single‐molecule imaging with reduced phototoxicity using PC and record trajectories of RNA polymerase in Escherichia coli cells. 相似文献

Single-molecule fluorescence photoswitching plays an essential role in ultrahigh-density (Tbits/inch(2)) optical memories and super-high-resolution fluorescence imaging. Although several fluorescent photochromic molecules and fluorescent proteins have been applied, so far, to optical memories and super-high-resolution imaging, their performance is unsatisfactory because of the absence of "non-destructive fluorescence readout capability". Here we report on a new molecular design principle of a molecule having non-destructive readout capability. The molecule is composed of acceptor photochromic diarylethene and donor fluorescent perylenebisimide units. The fluorescence is reversibly quenched when the diarylethene unit converts between the open- and the closed-ring isomers upon irradiation with visible and UV light. The fluorescence quenching is based on an electron transfer from the donor to the acceptor units. The fluorescence photoswitching and non-destructive readout capability were demonstrated in solution (an ensemble state) and at the single-molecule level. Femtosecond time-resolved transient and fluorescent lifetime measurements confirmed that the fluorescence quenching is attributed to the intramolecular electron transfer. 相似文献

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) emitting in the far-red region of the spectrum are highly advantageous for whole-body imaging applications because scattering and absorption of long-wavelength light is markedly reduced in tissue. We characterized variants of the red fluorescent protein eqFP611 with bright fluorescence emission shifted up to 639 nm. The additional red shift is caused by a trans-cis isomerization of the chromophore. The equilibrium between the trans and cis conformations is strongly influenced by amino acid residues 143 and 158. Pseudo monomeric tags were obtained by further genetic engineering. For the red chromophores of eqFP611 variants, molar extinction coefficients of up to approximately 150,000 were determined by an approach that is not affected by the presence of molecules with nonfunctional red chromophores. The bright fluorescence makes the red-shifted eqFP611 variants promising lead structures for the development of near-infrared fluorescent markers. The red fluorescent proteins performed well in cell biological applications, including two-photon imaging. 相似文献

A novel two-photon excited fluorescent probe for cadmium (named as TPCd) was designed and synthesized utilizing a prodan (6-acetyl-2-methoxynaphthalene) derivative as the two-photon fluorophore and an o-phenylenediamine derivative as the Cd(2+) chelator, which possessed favorable photophysical properties and good water-solubility. The probe was designed with a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism and thus was weakly fluorescent itself. After binding with Cd(2+) which blocked the PET process, the fluorescence intensity of the probe was enhanced by up to 15-fold under one-photon excitation (OPE) and 27-fold under two-photon excitation (TPE), respectively. The two-photon action cross-section (Φδ) of the TPCd-Cd complex at 740 nm reached 109 GM compared to 3.6 GM for free TPCd, indicating the promising prospect of the probe in two-photon application. TPCd chelated Cd(2+) with 1 : 1 stoichiometry, and the apparent dissociation constant (K(d)) was 6.1 × 10(-5) M for the one-photon mode and 7.2 × 10(-5) M for the two-photon mode. The probe responded to Cd(2+) over a wide linear range from 0.1 to 30 μM with a detection limit of 0.04 μM. High selectivity of the probe towards Cd(2+) was acquired in Tris-HCl/sodium phosphate buffer. The probe was pH-independent in the biologically relevant pH range and non-toxic to living cells at reasonable concentration levels, warranting its in vivo applications. Through two-photon microscopy imaging, the probe was successfully applied to detect Cd(2+) uptake in living HepG2 cells. 相似文献

The rise of antibiotic resistance causes a serious health care problem, and its counterfeit demands novel, innovative concepts. The combination of photopharmacology, enabling a light-controlled reversible modulation of drug activity, with antibiotic drug design has led to first photoswitchable antibiotic compounds derived from established scaffolds. In this study, we converted cystobactamids, gyrase-inhibiting natural products with an oligoaryl scaffold and highly potent antibacterial activities, into photoswitchable agents by inserting azobenzene in the N-terminal part and/or an acylhydrazone moiety near the C-terminus, yielding twenty analogs that contain mono- as well as double-switches. Antibiotic and gyrase inhibition properties could be modulated 3.4-fold and 5-fold by light, respectively. Notably, the sensitivity of photoswitchable cystobactamids towards two known resistance factors, the peptidase AlbD and the scavenger protein AlbA, was light-dependent. While irradiation of an analog with an N-terminal azobenzene with 365 nm light led to less degradation by AlbD, the AlbA-mediated inactivation was induced. This provides a proof-of-principle that resistance towards photoswitchable antibiotics can be optically controlled. 相似文献
