Abstract:
We report blue- and green-emitting two-photon probes derived from naphthalene and fluorene derivatives (as fluorophores) and an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retrieval peptide (KDEL; as an ER-targeting moiety) that can detect the ER in a live cell by both one-photon and two-photon microscopy (TPM) and in a live tissue by TPM.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) in eukaryotic cells is a substantial network of interconnected membranes with diverse functions, from calcium storage to biomolecule synthesis. A primary component of the endomembrane system, the ER manufactures phospholipids critical for membrane function throughout the cell. Additionally, the two distinct regions of the ER specialize in the manufacture of specific lipids and proteins.

Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
