Abstract

Mitochondria-targeted peptides incorporating dual fluorescent and selective iron chelators have been designed as novel biosensors for the mitochondrial labile iron pool. The probes were demonstrated to specifically co-localize with mitochondria and their fluorescence emission was found to be sensitive to the presence of iron.
