Abstract:Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are small reactive
molecules
derived from elements in the airoxygen and nitrogen. They
are produced in biological systems to mediate fundamental aspects
of cellular signaling but must be very tightly balanced to prevent
indiscriminate damage to biological molecules. Small molecule probes
can transmute the specific nature of each reactive oxygen and nitrogen
species into an observable luminescent signal (or even an acoustic
wave) to offer sensitive and selective imaging in … Show more
