Mitochondrial thermodynamics is the key to understand cellular activities related to homeostasis and energy balance. Here, we report the first ratiometric fluorescent molecular probe (Mito-RTP) that is selectively localized in the mitochondria and visualize the temperature. We confirmed that Mito-RTP could work as a ratiometric thermometer in a cuvette and living cells.
线粒体热力学是理解与体内平衡和能量平衡相关的细胞活动的关键。在此,我们报告了首个选择性定位于线粒体并能可视化温度的比率荧光分子探针(Mito-RTP)。我们证实Mito-RTP可作为比色温度计在比色皿和活细胞中发挥作用。
