Abstract: | Cysteine (Cys) is a semi-essential amino acid that exerts a vital role in numerous biological functions. A noninvasive method for in vivo imaging of cysteine could represent a valuable tool for research cysteine and its complex contributions in living organisms. Thus, we developed a turn-on bioluminescence probe (CBP) not only for detecting exogenous and endogenous cysteine in vitro and in vivo, but also for visualizing these cysteines in whole animal. The current applications may help shed light on the complex mechanisms of cysteine in miscellaneous physiological and pathological processes. |
