Mapping viscosity in cells using molecular rotors
文献信息
Marina K. Kuimova
This article describes an emerging method for quantitative measurement and spatial imaging of microviscosity within individual domains of live cells. The method is based on fluorescence detection from small synthetic molecules termed ‘molecular rotors’, which are characterised by a strong response of fluorescence lifetimes or spectra to the viscosity of their immediate environment. Alongside this new method, two complementary techniques are discussed, which provide further insights into diffusion controlled processes on a microscopic scale in a biological environment. These are time resolved fluorescence anisotropy and imaging of short-lived excited state of molecular oxygen, termed ‘singlet oxygen’. It is possible to utilise all three approaches for the quantitative determination of viscosity in individual organelles of live cells. Finally, it is discussed how the major advantage of molecular rotor imaging, fast signal acquisition, can be used to monitor changing viscosity during dynamic biological processes within cells, such as photoinduced cell death.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
