Abstract
Photobleaching is a major challenge in fluorescence microscopy, in particular if high excitation light intensities are used. Signal‐to‐noise and spatial resolution may be compromised, which limits the amount of information that can be extracted from an image. Photobleaching can be bypassed by using exchangeable labels, which transiently bind to and dissociate from a target, thereby replenishing the destroyed labels with intact ones from a reservoir. Here, we demonstrate confocal and STED microscopy with short, fluorophore‐labeled oligonucleotides that transiently bind to complementary oligonucleotides attached to protein‐specific antibodies. The constant exchange of fluorophore labels in DNA‐based STED imaging bypasses photobleaching that occurs with covalent labels. We show that this concept is suitable for targeted, two‐color STED imaging of whole cells.

Abstract
With the advent of single-molecule methods, chemoselective and site-specific labeling of proteins evolved to become a central aspect in chemical biology as well as cell biology. Protein labeling demands high specificity, rapid as well as efficient conjugation, while maintaining low concentration and biocompatibility under physiological conditions. Generic methods that do not interfere with the function, dynamics, subcellular localization of proteins, and crosstalk with other factors are crucial to probe and image proteins in vitro and in living cells. Alternatives to enzyme-based tags or autofluorescent proteins are short peptide-based recognition tags. These tags provide high specificity, enhanced binding rates, bioorthogonality, and versatility. Here, we report on recent applications of multivalent chelator heads, recognizing oligohistidine-tagged proteins. The striking features of this system has facilitated the analysis of protein complexes by single-molecule approaches.

Abstract
Small chemical/biological interaction pairs are at the forefront in tracing protein function and interaction at high signal-to-background ratios in cellular pathways. However, the optimal design of scaffold, linker, and chelator head still deserve systematic investigation to achieve the highest affinity and kinetic stability for in vitro and especially cellular applications. We report on a library of N-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)-based multivalent chelator heads (MCHs) built on linear, cyclic, and dendritic scaffolds and compare these with regard to their binding affinity and stability for the labeling of cellular His-tagged proteins. Furthermore, we describe a new approach for tracing cellular target proteins at picomolar probe concentrations in cells. Finally, we outline fundamental differences between the MCH scaffolds and define a cyclic trisNTA chelator that displays the highest affinity and kinetic stability of all reported reversible, low-molecular-weight interaction pairs.

Abstract
Live-cell labeling, super-resolution microscopy, single-molecule applications, protein localization, or chemically induced assembly are emerging approaches, which require specific and very small interaction pairs. The minimal disturbance of protein function is essential to derive unbiased insights into cellular processes. Herein, we define a new class of hexavalent N-nitrilotriacetic acid (hexaNTA) chelators, displaying the highest affinity and stability of all NTA-based small interaction pairs described so far. Coupled to bright organic fluorophores with fine-tuned photophysical properties, the super-chelator probes were delivered into human cells by chemically gated nanopores. These super-chelators permit kinetic profiling, multiplexed labeling of His6 - and His12 -tagged proteins as well as single-molecule-based super-resolution imaging.

Abstract
Labeling proteins with high specificity and efficiency is a fundamental prerequisite for microscopic visualization of subcellular protein structures and interactions. Although the comparatively small size of epitope tags makes them less perturbative to fusion proteins, they require the use of large antibodies that often limit probe accessibility and effective resolution. Here we use the covalent SpyTag-SpyCatcher system as an epitope-like tag for fluorescent labeling of intracellular proteins in fixed cells for both conventional and super-resolution microscopy. We also applied this method to endogenous proteins by gene editing, demonstrating its high labeling efficiency and capability for isoform-specific labeling.
