Abstract:
Fluorescence imaging is an important method in the field of biomedicine. Fluorescence imaging is nondestructive, has high efficiency and sensitivity, high resolution and allows real-time dynamic monitoring of living cells. However, it also has some disadvantages, such as high background signals and low selectivity. Bioorthogonal reactions, with the advantages of being both nondestructive and effective, are used to trace and analyze biological interactions in vivo. This review focuses on recent progress in understanding the mechanism of action of fluorescence probes.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
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...
