In our last contribution at ACS Sensors, we report an amazing methodology (DYNEX) to determine specific intracellular microenvironments taking advantage of excimer kinetics of acridones. Check it out! … Leer más acerca de Cover in ACS Sensors
Characterization of the first chloride-sensitive RFP!
Our group has identified and improved by rational mutagenesis the first chloride-sensitive red fluorescent protein (RFP). This protein presents a cis–trans isomerization of the chromophore that produces a dual emission band (green and red) with different chloride sensitivities, which allowed us … Leer más acerca de Characterization of the first chloride-sensitive RFP!

A couple of sensors
The combination of semi-conductor Quantum Dots (QDs) and FLIM microscopy presents countless advantages for intra-cellular imaging. With these advantages in mind, we have been working in several nanosenors in the last few years. Our latest work on intracellular nanosensors, specifically designed … Leer más acerca de A couple of sensors
Unraveling a silicon-substituted xanthene
In previous works, we used the fluorescent dye 2-Me-4-OMe-TM as intracellular phosphate sensing through fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). However, a lower sensitivity than expected was observed. The use of fluorescent dyes needs the understanding of their photophysical properties … Leer más acerca de Unraveling a silicon-substituted xanthene
