摘要: The traumatic brain injury (TBI) process, a significant cause of neurodegenerative diseases, is generally thought to be accompanied by decrease in pH the intracellular environment. In this work, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based ratiometric two-photon fluorescent probe, FRET-pH, has been designed and fully characterized monitor change so as understand extent TBI process. which nearly 100% efficiency ∼100-fold ratio signal changes, constructed from naphthalene derivative ADN fluorophore SRhB recognition domain for pH. FRET-pH displays both one- responses towards aqueous solution. appropriate pKa value (5.89) supports its use subsequent biological applications. Finally, microscopic imaging living HeLa cells, BV-2 cells rat tissue achieved.
