• Future donors will deliver more elaborate aldehydes
and formaldehyde release to produce a fluorescent reporter
• Tokyo Magenta platform was used as it is compatible with a large majority of flagship probes for other • Later generations can also be delivered to specific
analytes and fluorescent proteins (typically green) organielles
• CF3 group (photoFAD-2 and photoFAD-3) allowed for enhanced photostability and chloros (photoFAD-3)
reduced the pKa of the uncapped Tokyo Magenta, preventing leakage of donor in the cell after release • Redder dyes coupled with upconverting nanoparticles will
• Acetal protection of the aldehyde is well-established and generalizable when elaborating to more complex allow for in vivo aldehyde delivery Figure 7 Further donors will have varied R groups for
