Genetically anchored fluorescent probes for subcellular specific imaging of hydrogen sulfide

Analyst. 2016 Feb 21;141(4):1209-1213. doi: 10.1039/c5an02497h.

Abstract

Imaging hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at the subcellular resolution will greatly improve the understanding of functions of this signaling molecule. Taking advantage of the protein labeling technologies, we report a general strategy for the development of organelle specific H2S probes, which enables sub-cellular H2S imaging essentially in any organelles of interest.
