Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Alkali metals (sodium, potassium) play important physiological functions in organisms, but their spatiotemporal dynamics is not well understood. In this research, we developed new organic fluorescence probes for these cations, and by conjugation of the probes to tag proteins that were expressed in some organelles, we succeeded in fluorescence imaging of target ions at the organelles of interest in live cells. Because this method has generality, it will be possible to create practical imaging tools for understanding other ion dynamics in cells.
