Abstract

A novel dual-channel fluorescent probe (NCR) based on differences in reactivity among H2S, Cys/Hcy, and GSH was rationally designed for simultaneously distinguishing and sequentially sensing H2S, Cys/Hcy, and GSH using two emission channels, which also demonstrated that NCR can be used for targeting mitochondria in mammalian cells.
