Fluorescent probes for detection of copper
The invention provides fluorescent sensors for the selective detection of a metal such as copper. The sensors may be considered to be derivatives of cyanine, fluorescein, rhodamine, rhodol, Tokyo green, or BODIPY. The sensors find particular use in detecting copper in cells and living animals.
