Lyso-VR1
Lyso-VR1 is a fluorescent probe for lysosomal viscosity detection. The detection mechanism of Lyso-VR1 relies on intramolecular rotation restriction. Due to the protonation of its indole moiety in lysosomes, this probe can specifically target lysosomes, thereby localizing to this suborganelle for viscosity monitoring. Its excitation wavelength ranges from 400-500 nm, and its emission peak under excitation at 488 nm is located at ~550 nm to ~560 nm.
