Red fluorescent proteins (RFPs) have emerged as valuable biological markers for
biomolecule imaging in living systems. Developing artificial fluorogenic systems that mimic …

GFP-like fluorescent proteins and their molecular mimics have revolutionized bioimaging
research, but their emissions are largely limited in the visible to far-red region, hampering …

Abstract Guanine (G) quadruplexes (G4) are nucleic acid secondary structures formed by G-
rich sequences, commonly found in human telomeric and oncogene-promoter regions, have …

Red fluorescent proteins (RFPs) are used extensively in chemical biology research as
fluorophores for live cell imaging, as partners in FRET pairs, and as signal transducers in …

To visualize the guanine-quadruplex (G4) nucleic acids in cells or in biological tissues, near-
infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes that can respond specifically to G4 nucleic acids are …

DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) in vivo have been linked to cancer and other diseases such as
neurological disorders. Nondestructive fast detection of endogenous DNA G4s can provide …

The detection and stabilization of G-quadruplexes (G4s) in living systems is of enormous
applicability in the fields of chemical biology and therapeutic materials. Whereas DNA …

Stretches of guanines in DNA and RNA can fold into guanine quadruplex structures (GQSs).
These structures protect telomeres in DNA and regulate gene expression in RNA. GQSs …

The development of site‐specific, target‐selective and biocompatible small molecule ligands
as a fluorescent tool for real‐time study of cellular functions of RNA G‐quadruplexes (G4s) …

Mounting evidence supports the presence of biologically relevant G‐quadruplexes in single‐
cell organisms, but the existence of endogenous G‐quadruplex structures in mammalian …
