A backwards strategy for achieving Mn2+/Ca2+ selectivity was demonstrated: Instead of optimizing binding of Mn2+, the bapta ligand (upper structure in scheme) was modified by changing O to N donors to discourage association by unwanted competitor Ca2+. Attachment of a fluorophore gave a Mn2+‐selective on‐fluorescent probe for use in live cell imaging.
展示了实现 Mn 2+ /Ca 2+选择性的反向策略:通过将 O 供体更改为 N 供体来修改 bapta
配体(方案中的上部结构)以阻止不需要的竞争者 Ca 2 的结合,而不是优化 Mn 2+ 的结合+。荧光团的附着提供了用于活细胞成像的 Mn 2+选择性荧光探针。
