Addition of a Second Binding Site Increases the Dynamic Range but Alters the Cellular Localization of a Red Fluorescent Probe for Mobile Zinc

We report the synthesis and photophysical properties of ZBR4 and ZR1, two resorufin-based ditopic probes for mobile zinc. Upon binding Zn[superscript 2+], the sensors display 14- and 41-fold enhancements of their red fluorescence emission, respectively. In contrast to ZR1 and other members of the ZB...
