Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A physiologically stable fluorophore includes a terminal moiety including a terminal reactive site that reacts with a reactive group of a substrate; a stability linker covalently bonded to the terminal moiety; and a bridge moiety covalently bonded to the stability linker such that the stability linker is interposed through chemical bonds between the bridge moiety and the terminal moiety; and a fluorescent moiety covalently bonded to the bridge moiety of the redox moiety and including: an electron bandgap mediator that is covalently bonded to the bridge moiety; a coordinate center covalently bonded to the electron bandgap mediator and that forms a Zwitterionic member with an atom in the electron bandgap mediator; and a steric hinder bonded to the electron bandgap mediator to provide steric hindrance for protection of the coordinate center.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A physiologically stable fluorophore for performing fluorescence probing, the physiologically stable fluorophore comprises wherein the physiologically stable fluorophore is stable from pH=1 to pH=10 such that the photophysics of the physiologically stable fluorophore is conserved from pH=2 to pH=10. 2. A process for performing fluorescence probing with a physiologically stable fluorophore the process comprising: contacting a surface extracted cellulose nanofiber substrate with the physiologically stable fluorophore; forming a fluorophore-substrate complex from the physiologically stable fluorophore and the substrate in response to contacting the substrate with the physiologically stable fluorophore; subjecting the fluorophore-substrate complex to probe radiation; electronically exciting the physiologically stable fluorophore in the fluorophore-substrate complex in response to subjecting the fluorophore-substrate complex to the probe radiation; producing fluorescence from the physiologically stable fluorophore in the fluorophore-substrate complex in response to electronically exciting the physiologically stable fluorophore in the fluorophore-substrate complex; and determining, from the fluorescence from the physiologically stable fluorophore, the redox state of the substrate to perform single-electron transfer fluorescence probing; wherein the physiologically stable fluorophore is stable from pH=1 to pH=10 such that the photophysics of the physiologically stable fluorophore is conserved from pH=2 to pH=10.
