The present invention provides photochromic compounds and derivatives thereof as shown in claim
1
and methods of use of these compounds and derivatives. The present invention also provides photochromic optical probes capable of undergoing light directed reversible transition between a first state and a second state. The invention also teaches methods of determining and controlling reversible optical biomolecular interactions, for example binding of calcium in a subject.
本发明提供了如权利要求1所示的光致变色化合物及其衍生物,以及这些化合物和衍生物的使用方法。本发明还提供了能够在第一状态和第二状态之间进行光导向可逆转换的光致变色光学探针。该发明还教授了确定和控制可逆光学生物分子相互作用的方法,例如在受试者中钙结合的方法。
