Article Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide is a biologically important molecule and developing chemical tools that enable further investigations into the functions of H S is essential. Fluorescent turn-on H S probes have been developed for use in cellulo and in vivo, but the membrane permeability of these probes can lead to probe leakage and signal attenuation over time. Here we report a cell trappable fluorescent probe for H S, CT-MeRhoAz, which is based on a methylrhodolazide scaffold derivatized with an acetoxymethyl ester group. Prior to ester cleavage, the CT-MeRhoAz probe generates a 2500-fold turn-on response to H S, which is enhanced to a 3000-fold response for the carboxylic acid form of the probe. Additionally, the probe is highly selective for H S over other biologically relevant sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen-based analytes. Live cell imaging experiments confirmed the biocompatibility of CT-MeRhoAz and also that it is cell trappable, unlike the parent MeRhoAz scaffold.

HS is a gaseous signaling molecule that is involved in many physiological and pathological processes. In general, the level of intracellular HS (<1 μM) is much lower than that of GSH (∼1-10 mM), leading to the remaining challenge of selective detection and differentiation of endogenous HS in live biosystems. To this end, we quantitatively demonstrate that the thiolysis of NBD amine has much higher selectivity for HS over GSH than that of the reduction of aryl azide.

Mitochondrial membrane-embedded redox proteins are classically perceived as deterministic "electron transport chain" (ETC) arrays cum proton pumps; and oxygen is seen as an "immobile terminal electron acceptor." This is untenable because: (1) there are little free protons to be pumped out of the matrix; (2) proton pumping would be highly endergonic; (3) ETC-chemiosmosis-rotary ATP synthesis proposal is "irreducibly complex"/"non-evolvable" and does not fit with mitochondrial architecture or structural/distribution data of the concerned proteins/components; (4) a plethora of experimental observations do not conform to the postulates/requisites; for example, there is little evidence for viable proton-pumps/pH-gradient in mitochondria, trans-membrane potential (TMP) is non-fluctuating/non-trappable, oxygen is seen to give copious "diffusible reactive (oxygen) species" (DRS/DROS) in milieu, etc. Quite contrarily, the newly proposed murburn model's tenets agree with known principles of energetics/kinetics, and builds on established structural data and reported observations.

Although near-field imaging techniques reach sub-nanometer resolution on rigid samples, it remains extremely challenging to image soft interfaces, such as biological membranes, due to the deformations induced by the probe. In photonic force microscopy, optical tweezers are used to manipulate and measure the scanning probe, allowing imaging of soft materials without force-induced artifacts. However, the size of the optically trapped probe still limits the maximum resolution.
