Happy to see our latest work in ChemEurJ🎉. Here we present a new way to get a photoactivatable BODIPY for cell imaging. This probe allows super-resolutive images in the green channel. Special thanks to Valentine, Maxence, Pascal and Mayeul.

Targeted Photoactivatable Green‐Emitting BODIPY Based on Directed Photooxidation‐Induced Activation and its Application to Live Dynamic Super‐Resolution Microscopy
PFB is an efficient, green-emitting, photoactivatable probe based on BODIPY. Upon irradiation with visible light (488 nm), directed photooxidation oxidizes the furanyl group and eliminates the quench....

A new, nerdy paper. We figured out (some) of the rules underlying cell-permeability of probes and designed ligands that light up, grab, and move proteins around. Awesome @hhmijanelia.bsky.social x @uwmadison.bsky.social x @stjuderesearch.bsky.social collaboration! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

What can HaloTag do for you?

Triggered fluorogenic labelling?
Molecular recording?
Photo-Chemically Induced Dimerisation?

Philipp Mauker's CHalo motif lets reagents do all three, and more.
