A fluorescent Zn(2+) sensor based on the 2-(2'-pyridinyl)benzoimidazole (2-PBI) fluorophore has been devised by incorporation with a Zn(2+) ionophore, bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine. The sensor (PBITA) demonstrates a Zn(2+)-specific emission shift and enhancement with a 1:1 binding ratio. Due to the Zn(2+)-induced coplanation of 2-PBI via reversion/rotation, PBITA is shown to behave as a ratiometric sensor. The intracellular Zn(2+) imaging ability of the sensor has been tested in HeLa cells using a confocal microscope.
通过与锌离子载体双(吡啶 - 2 - 基甲基)胺结合,设计了一种基于2 - (2'-吡啶基)苯并咪唑(2 - PBI)荧光团的荧光锌离子传感器。该传感器(PBITA)表现出锌离子特异性的发射位移和增强,结合比为1:1。由于锌离子通过反转/旋转诱导2 - PBI共平面,PBITA被证明是一种比率传感器。使用共聚焦显微镜在HeLa细胞中测试了该传感器的细胞内锌离子成像能力。
