The synthesis of a set of new clickable fluorophores that virtually cover the whole visible spectrum reaching the near infra-red regime is presented herein. Besides dyes that are capable of participating in classical copper catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with the counterparting function we have also prepared dyes containing a cyclooctyne moiety, an alkyne derivative that enables copper free clicking to azides. The suitability of these dyes for fluorescent labeling of biomolecules is presented by examples on model frameworks representing major biopolymer building blocks. The versatility of these dyes is presented in cell labeling experiments as well as by labeling the azide modified surface glycans of CHO-cells either by copper catalyzed or copper-free click reaction. These dyes are expected to have a large variety of applications in (bio)orthogonal labeling schemes both in vivo and in vitro.

Protein S-palmitoylation is the process by which a palmitoyl fatty acid is attached to a cysteine residue of a protein via a thioester bond. A range of methodologies are available for the detection of protein S-palmitoylation. In this study, two methods for the S-palmitoylation of different proteins were compared after metabolic labeling of cells with 15-hexadecynoic acid (15-YNE) to ascertain their relative usefulness.

Inflammation is a dynamic process which importantly involves migration of immune cells. Understanding the onset, acute phase and resolution of inflammation is greatly facilitated by their imaging. However, immune cells are sensitive, difficult to genetically manipulate and prone to changes in response to contact, hindering the application of well-established cell labeling methods.

Fluorogenic probes that unmask fluorescence signals in response to bioorthogonal reactions are a powerful new addition to biological imaging. They can significantly reduce background fluorescence and minimize nonspecific signals, potentially enabling real-time, high-contrast imaging without the need to wash out excess fluorophores. While diverse classes of highly refined synthetic fluorophores are now readily available, integrating them into a bioorthogonal fluorogenic scheme still requires extensive design efforts and customized structural alterations to optimize quenching mechanisms for each specific fluorophore scaffold.

A method of choice to study the spatio-temporal dynamics of bacterial cell growth and division is to analyze the localization of cell wall synthesis regions by fluorescence microscopy. For this, nascent cell wall biopolymers need to be labeled with fluorescent reporters, like fluorescent d-alanines (FDAs) that can be incorporated into the peptidoglycan. To achieve high spatial and temporal resolution, dense, high-intensity fluorescence labeling must be obtained in the shortest possible time.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on how phosphopantetheinyl transferases (PPTases) activate carrier proteins by attaching a specific linker derived from coenzyme A.
- - Researchers developed a method using a modified HSCoA with an alkyne group, which enables a reaction to attach a fluorescent tag to monitor the activation process.
- - By applying this new method in enzyme screening, they successfully identified new PPTases that display promiscuous activity, meaning they can activate multiple proteins.
