Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has gradually received enthusiastic attention with the aging process, and studying its biological relevance is expected. Excitingly, fluorescence probes were considered to be powerful tools for exploring biological correlations. Therefore, a highly selective near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (DCM-Cl-Acr) for imaging cysteine (Cys) in AD was designed and synthesized. Through structural optimization, the probe exhibited high fluorescence quantum yield and low detection limit (20 nM) towards Cys. Meanwhile, based on the high selectivity and high sensitivity response exhibited by the probe to Cys, it was successfully applied to visualize endogenous and exogenous Cys in living cells and zebrafish, and showed good discrimination from homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). Further, the correlation between AD and Cys concentration was clarified by imaging studies in hippocampus tissue of AD mouse, and the abnormal accumulation of Cys in the hippocampus of AD brain was demonstrated.

Abstract
Cysteine is an important biological thiol and is closely related to cancer. It remains a challenge to develop a probe that can provide long-term fluorescence detection and imaging of Cys in cells as well as in living organisms. Here, a solid-state fluorophore HTPQ is combined with an acrylate group to construct a solid-state fluorescent probe HTPQC for Cys recognition. The fluorescence of the probe is quenched when the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process is turned on and the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process is turned off. In the presence of Cys, an obvious solid-state fluorescence signal can be observed. The double quenching mechanism makes the probe HTPQC have the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity, and high contrast of biological imaging. Due to low cytotoxicity, the probe HTPQC can be used to detect exogenous and endogenous Cys in living cells and is capable of imaging over long periods of time. By making full use of long wavelengths, the probe can be applied for the detection of Cys levels in tumor mice and equipped with the ability to conduct long-term imaging in vivo.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is a crucial biological thiol that has a vital function in preserving redox homeostasis in organisms. Studies have shown that Cys is closely related to the development of cancer. Thus, it is necessary to design an efficient method to detect Cys for an effective cancer diagnosis. In this work, a novel tumor-targeting probe (Bio-Cy-S) for dual-modal (NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic) Cys detection is designed. The probe exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity toward Cys. After reaction with Cys, both NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic signals are activated. Bio-Cy-S has been applied for the dual-modal detection of Cys levels in living cells, and it can be used to distinguish normal cells from cancer cells by different Cys levels. In addition, the probe is capable of facilitating dual-modal imaging for monitoring changes in Cys levels in tumor-bearing mice. More importantly, the excellent tumor-targeting ability of the probe greatly improves the signal-to-noise ratio of imaging. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Cys probe to combine targeting and dual-modal imaging performance for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
On the basis of classical Schiff base reaction, two novel and efficient fluorescent probes (DQNS, DQNS1) were designed and synthesized by introducing Schiff base structure into dis-quinolinone unit for structural modification, which can be used to detect Al3+ and ClO-. Because the power supply capacity of H is weaker than that of methoxy, DQNS shows better optical performance: a large Stokes Shift (132 nm), identify Al3+ and ClO- with high sensitivity and selectivity, low detection limit (29.8 nM and 25 nM) and fast response time (10 min and 10 s). Through the working curve and NMR titration experiment, the recognition mechanism of Al3+ and ClO- (PET and ICT) probes are confirmed. Meanwhile, it is speculated that the probe has continuity for the detection of Al3+ and ClO-. Furthermore, DQNS detection of Al3+ and ClO- was applied to real water samples and living cell imaging.

Abstract
Many successful stories in enzyme engineering are based on the creation of randomized diversity in large mutant libraries, containing millions to billions of enzyme variants. Methods that enabled their evaluation with high throughput are dominated by spectroscopic techniques due to their high speed and sensitivity. A large proportion of studies relies on fluorogenic substrates that mimic the chemical properties of the target or coupled enzymatic assays with an optical read-out that assesses the desired catalytic efficiency indirectly. The most reliable hits, however, are achieved by screening for conversions of the starting material to the desired product. For this purpose, functional group assays offer a general approach to achieve a fast, optical read-out. They use the chemoselectivity, differences in electronic and steric properties of various functional groups, to reduce the number of false-positive results and the analytical noise stemming from enzymatic background activities. This review summarizes the developments and use of functional group probes for chemoselective derivatizations, with a clear focus on screening for enzymatic activity in protein engineering.

Abstract
Fluorine is a necessary element for human, which is closely related to life activities, such as metabolism of teeth and bone tissue. A small amount of fluoride ions can promote the strengthen of our body. However, a large amount of fluoride ions will damage the human immune system to produce organ diseases. Sensitive and rapid detection of fluoride ions has attracted great interests for researchers. In this work, a reactive fluorescent probe SCP for detection of fluoride ions with high quantum yield was designed and synthesized based on the carbazole ring. Subsequently, the photophysical properties of the probe SCP were carefully studied. At last, SCP performed 62.8% quantum yield in physiological condition, excellent ability of quantitative analysis, well selectivity, and distinguishing features for HepG2 cell imaging.

Abstract
Based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), a ratiometric fluorescent probe (NQ) was successfully designed and synthesized, in which quinolinone moiety was selected as the energy donor and naphthalimide block as the energy acceptor. NQ has a super large Stokes shift (231 nm) and a big quantum yield (0.463). Compared with previously reported probes with similar recognition sites, NQ can high sensitively and selectively recognize ClO- with a much low limit of detection (LOD = 21 nM) and extremely rapid response time (20 s). NQ has a strong anti-interference effect and a color change in the solution which can be seen by the "naked eye". Moreover, NQ can be applied to detect ClO- in real water samples and living cells imaging.

Abstract
Early and rapid diagnosis of tumors is essential for clinical treatment or management. In contrast to conventional means, bioimaging has the potential to accurately locate and diagnose tumors at an early stage. Fluorescent probe has been developed as an ideal tool to visualize tumor sites and to detect biological molecules which provides a requirement for noninvasive, real-time, precise, and specific visualization of structures and complex biochemical processes in vivo. Rencently, the development of synthetic organic chemistry and new materials have facilitated the development of near-infrared small molecular sensing platforms and nanoimaging platforms. This provides a competitive tool for various fields of bioimaging such as biological structure and function imaging, disease diagnosis, in situ at the in vivo level, and real-time dynamic imaging. This review systematically focused on the recent progress of small molecular near-infrared fluorescent probes and nano-fluorescent probes as new biomedical imaging tools in the past 3-5 years, and it covers the application of tumor biomarker sensing, tumor microenvironment imaging, and tumor vascular imaging, intraoperative guidance and as an integrated platform for diagnosis, aiming to provide guidance for researchers to design and develop future biomedical diagnostic tools.

Abstract
In this work, we introduced the acrylate recognition group into dicyanoisophorone derivative DCI-C-OH to construct the NIR fluorescent probe DCI-C-Cys with a large Stokes shift (240 nm). DCI-C-Cys could specifically respond to Cys, resulting in a 22-fold increase in fluorescence intensity at 702 nm. Meanwhile, the probe has the advantages of good water solubility, high sensitivity (93 nM), and excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, DCI-C-Cys successfully monitored endogenous and exogenous Cys in HepG2 cells and zebrafish. Most importantly, we found that balsam pear polysaccharide could lead to the increase of intracellular Cys levels, which might be conducive to the further study of the antioxidant mechanism of balsam pear polysaccharide.

Abstract
Xanthene-modified cyanine dyes are considered to be an effective means to extend the emission wavelength and improve the photo-stability of cyanine dyes. However, the fluorophores obtained by this strategy generally have narrow Stokes shifts, which severely limits their application in biological imaging. Herein, a reasonable design strategy is adopted to provide an effective strategy to commendably improve the Stokes shift of xanthene-benzothiozolium fluorophores via the simultaneous expansion of a molecular π-conjugated system and heteroatomic substitution. Combined with density functional theory calculation guidance, the O atom is replaced with the S atom in the xanthene moiety and a π-conjugated benzene ring is introduced in the benzothiozolium moiety. Surprisingly, the results of the spectroscopic experiment showed that the fluorescence emission wavelength of PhCy-OH was extended to 803 nm, and the Stokes shift was improved to 68 nm. PhCy-Cys can effectively distinguish Cys from homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) with an extremely low detection limit of 0.166 μM. Importantly, PhCy-Cys has the ability to image endogenous Cys in mitochondria, providing the potential for exploring the specific function and mechanism of Cys in regulating oxidative stress in mitochondria.

Abstract
We reported the specific fluorescent probe (MC-BOD-XDS) with two-steps reaction based on monomercapto-coumarin-BODIPY for selective detection of cysteine,high activty mercapto-coumarin as the multiple reaction group instead of a group internal standard fluorophore. The reaction mechanism of MC-BOD-XDS for detecting cysteine was different from the reported probes about the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction (SNAr) of chlorinated BODIPY. The fluorescent color of MC-BOD-XDS changed from yellow to red, and then to orange. The linear calibration diagram showed that it can potentially be used for quantitatively detection of Cys. Its potential applications were demonstrated by employing it for detection of Cys in artificial urine and in fluorescent imaging in HeLa cells.

A Facile Probe for Fluorescence Turn-on and Simultaneous Naked-Eyes Discrimination of H 2S and biothiols (Cys and GSH) and Its Application. J Fluoresc 2021; 32:175-188.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide and biothiol molecules such as Cys and GSH acted important roles in many physiological processes. To simultaneously detect and distinguish them was quite necessary by a suitable fluorescent probe. A novel chemosensor 4-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-methoxyphenoxy)-7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole (BMNO) was designed to detect H2S/Cys/GSH using the combination of nitrobenzofurazan (NBD) and benzothiazole fluorophores linked by a facile ether bond. The probe BMNO was developed for simultaneous identification of H2S, Cys and GSH. Noticeably, the color changes (from colorless to light purple, light orange and light yellow) of probe BMNO solutions for sensing H2S, Cys and GSH could be observed by naked eyes, respectively. The probe BMNO exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for H2S, Cys and GSH showing distinct optical signal with detection limit as low as 0.15 μM, 0.03 μM and 0.14 μM, respectively. The sensing mechanism was clarified by spectrum analysis and some controlled experiments. In addition, these outstanding properties of probe BMNO enabled its practical applications in detection H2S in beer, and in cell imaging for Cys and GSH as well.

Abstract
Increasingly grim environmental pollutions are closely related with the occurrence and development of diseases. However, it's obscure how environmental stress disturbs the normal physiological process, and then how endogenous reactive species mend the cases. Hypoxia/reperfusion (H/R), a common and intractable injury in aquaculture and clinic, can induce oxidative stress and ultimately cause irreversible injury to organism. Cysteine (Cys) plays essential roles in maintaining transduction of numerous reactive species and redox homeostasis in subcellular structures, cells and organisms. A great deal of fluorescence research about Cys are focusing on development of selective probes but with poor exploration of the biofunction under environmental stress. Therefore, it is of great significance to examine the bio-effects of Cys against H/R stress. In the present work, we design a fluorescent probe BCy-AC for in situ detecting Cys, the unique Enol-Keto tautomerization of fluorophore BCy-Keto propels the reaction process which will improve the sensitivity and potential application performance of the probe. BCy-AC is conveniently applied to visualize Cys in HT-22 cells, zebrafish and mice tissues. Moreover, imaging results obtained from H/R models reveal that endogenous Cys changes with hypoxia and reperfusion time and Cys pretreatment effectively defend H/R injury in cells and in vivo.

Abstract
The latent fingerprints (LFPs) at the crime scene are unique and stable, which are considered as an important clue in criminal justice and forensic identification. Herein, a butterfly-shaped molecule DPTS with solid fluorescence plus excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) properties was used to develop for enhancing the visualization of the LFPs. Considering the solid fluorescence of DPTS, the color and efficiency of DPTS with a large Stokes shift (216 nm) can be tuned by changing the morphology of its aggregates, and gradually red-shifted (green-yellow-red) with increasing water content. Furthermore, its effectiveness for the detection of LFPs was demonstrated on various different substrates including paper box, tinfoil and weighting paper. The emissive fingerprint of DPTS obtained gave good fluorescence images with high contrast and resolution such as the core, delta, bifurcation, ridge termination, independent ridge and pores. Caging of the phenol donor of DPTS with a sensitive biomarker group provided DPTS-ONOO-, which had high sensitive with detection limit of 5 nM and the quantification limit of 21 nM toward ONOO-. Modularly derived DPTS-ONOO- was synthesized and demonstrated specific fluorescence imaging of exogenous and endogenous peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in living macrophage cells.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), a kind of small molecule biological thiol, not only involves in the regulation of physiological processes, but also is considered a marker of tumor. However, it is challenging to develop suitable probe for detecting Cys in tumors. In this paper, a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe named IX for Cys has been designed and synthesized. The probe shows a NIR emission peak at 770 nm with large Stokes shift (180 nm) upon adding Cys. It displays high sensitivity to Cys with 6-fold increase of fluorescence intensity. Meanwhile, IX has the high selectivity to Cys over other potential interference such as Hcy and GSH, which have similar structure with Cys. In addition, a possible mechanism of fluorescence enhancement is the reaction of IX with Cys to release IX-OH, which is verified by fluorescence spectra, MS and HPLC. Next, IX can selectively image Cys in HCT-116 cells thanks to the low cytotoxicity. Most important of all, the fluorescent probe IX has visualized Cys in HCT116-xenograft tumor mice due to the near-infrared properties with large Stokes shift.

Abstract
We designed a turn-off near-infrared fluorescent fluoride chemosensor NIR-BODIPY-Si through the density functional theory/time-dependent functional theory calculations. In the designed sensor, the tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy moiety responses to the fluoride-triggered desilylation process, and the BODIPY dye serves as fluorophore. The molecular design firstly showed that the possibility of photoinduced electron transfer is low/high in NIR-BODIPY-Si/NIR-BODIPY-O (the desilylation product), thus referring that the fluorescence sensing mechanism is a photoinduced electron transfer mechanism that quenched the sensor's fluorescence after detection of fluoride anions. Absorption and emission spectra further demonstrated that the designed sensor is a near-infrared chemosensor. The largest binding energy between NIR-BODIPY-Si and F- suggests that the sensor has an excellent selectivity to F- and the low barrier of the desilylation reaction accounts for the sensor's rapid response speed to F-. We also provided the synthetic routine for the molecule sensor, with the expectation that this molecular design can shed some light on the experimentally based design procedure.

Abstract
A fluorescent sensor based on coumarin-maleimide conjugate was developed for efficient discrimination of Cys from Hcy and GSH in both organic and aqueous solution. Addition of Cys to the non-fluorescent sensor solution in DMF induced bright blue fluorescence and enhanced the fluorescence intensity by 320-fold while other amino acids and biothiols (Gly, Hcy, GSH, Glu, Val, Tyr, Arg, Trp, Lys, His, Leu, Phe, Asp and Met) did not bring about remarked change. The sensor responds to Cys extremely rapidly. If Cys was added to the sensor solution, the fluorescence intensity increased by 170-fold immediately and attained the maximum value in 5 min. A linear relationship was observed between Cys concentration within 2-20 μM and the fluorescence intensity of the sensor solution. The detection limit of the sensor toward Cys is as low as 4.7 nM. The sensor is also effective for specific detection of Cys in aqueous (DMF/H2O = 9:1, v/v) solution. Practical application of the sensor to drug analysis and bioimaging of living Hela cells has been verified. Possible sensing mechanism of the sensor toward Cys has been proposed.

Abstract
Biothiols such as l-cysteine, l-homocysteine, and glutathione play essential roles in many biological processes, and are directly associated with several health conditions. Therefore, the development of fast, selective, sensitive, and inexpensive methods for quantitatively analyzing biothiols in aqueous solution, but especially in biological samples, is a very attractive research field. In this feature review, we have approached the relevance of biothiols' nucleophilicity to develop selective fluorogenic probes. Since biothiols have considerable structural similarity, relevant strategies are in full development, including several fluorescent molecular platforms, specific receptor sites, reaction conditions, and optical responses. All of these features are properly presented and discussed. Biothiol sensing protocols are based on traditional organic chemistry reactions such as (hetero)aromatic nucleophilic substitution, addition, and substitution at carbonyl carbon, conjugate addition, and nucleophilic substitution at saturated carbon, amongst others including combined processes; furthermore, mechanistic aspects are detailed herein, including some interesting historical contexts. The feasibility of related fluorogenic probes is illustrated by analysis in complex matrices such as serum, cells, tissues, and animal models. Applications of these reactions in more complex systems such as sulfhydryl-based peptides and proteins are also presented, aiming at functionalizing and detecting these nucleophiles. Most literature cited in this review is recent; however, some other prominent works are also detailed. It is believed that this review may be accessible for many academic levels and may efficiently contribute not only to popularizing science but also to the rational development of fluorogenic probes for biothiol sensing.

Cysteine (Cys), as one of the important amino acids, plays a vital role in various physiological and pathological processes. Hence, it is meaningful to develop a convenient and sensitive detection method. Herein, a novel BODIPY-based fluorescent probe (BDP-DM) was developed, which had a higher selectivity for Cys than other amino acids, including homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). Ultimately, we concluded that the BDP-DM probe could be used to successfully detected intracellular Cys in living HeLa cells.

Abstract
Hypocrellin B (HB) derived from naturally produced hypocrellins has attracted considerable attention in photodynamic therapy (PDT) because of its excellent photosensitive properties. However, the weak absorption within a "phototherapy window" (600-900 nm) and poor water solubility of HB have limited its clinical application. In this study, two HB derivatives (i. e., HE and HF) were designed and synthesized for the first time by introducing two different substituent groups into the HB structure. The obtained derivatives showed a broad absorption band covering the near-infrared (NIR) region, NIR emission (peaked at 805 nm), and singlet oxygen quantum yields of 0.27/0.31. HE-PEG-NPs were also prepared using 2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethyleneglycol)-2000] (DSPE-mPEG2000) to achieve excellent dispersion in water and further explored their practical applications. HE-PEG-NPs not only retained their 1 O2 -generating ability, but also exhibited a photothermal conversion efficiency of 25.9%. In vitro and in vivo therapeutic results revealed that the synergetic effect of HE-PEG-NPs on PDT and photothermal therapy (PTT) could achieve a good performance. Therefore, HE-PEG-NPs could be regarded as a promising phototheranostic agent.

Abstract
It's of vital importance to detect heavy metals in environment and living cells. In this work, four near-infrared regions boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) probes (QBPH, PBPH, QBP and PBP) are constructed based on two BODIPY precursors (QB, PB) for sensing of Fe3+. As expected, these four probes exhibit obvious colorimetric and ratiometric response to Fe3+. In addition, QBP and PBP display highly sensitive and selective performance for detection of Fe3+. More importantly, QBP and PBP are successfully applied to near infrared imaging and detection of Fe3+ in living A549 cells; it indicates that these novel designed probes could be a useful tool for the studies of Fe3+ in living cells.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes for biothiols have aroused increasing interest owing to their potential to enable better understanding of the diverse physiological and pathological processes related to the biothiol species. BODIPY fluorophores exhibit excellent optical properties, which can be readily tailored by introducing diverse functional units at various positions of the BODIPY core. In the present review, the development of fluorescent probes based on BODIPYs for the detection of biothiols are systematically summarized, with emphasis on the preferable detection of individual biothiols, as well as simultaneous discrimination among cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), reduced glutathione (GSH). In addition, organelle-targeting probes for biothiols are also highlighted. The general design principles, various recognition mechanisms, and biological applications are elaboratively discussed, which could provide a useful reference to researchers worldwide interested in this area.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), an important organic small molecule containing sulfhydryl groups, plays paramount functions in human pathologies and physiologies. The detection of Cys in living vivo is essential for studying its roles. Here, we designed and synthesized a novel red-emission fluorescent probe AXPI-Cys with highly sensitivity (LOD = 48.9 ± 0.23 nM), rapidly response (<7 min) and colorimetric for detection cysteine. More importantly, the AXPI-Cys was determined Cys in real cystinuria urine samples for the first time with the satisfactory results (92%-99.96%) and employed for specifically location of endogenous/exogenous Cys in living cancer/normal cells and almost non-toxic, that is very valuable for diagnosis of cystinuria and observation of the distribution of Cys in normal cells. Notably, the AXPI-Cys was applied to imaging Cys in BALB/c nude mice with good biocompatibility and desirable tissue-penetration depth. Owing to the superior capability of AXPI-Cys, it provided a desired method to detect Cys in urine samples and cells, and exhibited munificent potential usage in biosystems and imaging studies in vivo.

Abstract
Cancer is a global health issue and a leading cause of death. The discrimination of cancer cells from normal cells is of significant importance for the early diagnosis of cancers. As one of the useful biomarkers for developing cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy resistance systems, biothiols not only play an essential role in physiological and pathological processes but also exhibit cytoprotective effects in the susceptibility to carcinogenesis. It would be highly desirable to explore near-infrared biothiol-specific fluorescent probes for cancer diagnosis with outstanding specificity. In this study, a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe BPO-THAZ decorated with thiazole as a recognition site was presented for sensitive and selective detection of endogenous biothiols. BPO-THAZ can be used to not only evaluate the biothiol level in living HeLa cells upon treatment with H2O2 or anti-cancer drugs but also assess endogenous biothiols in stem cells. Furthermore, BPO-THAZ was successfully utilized to discriminate cancer cells from normal cells showing great promise for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) are essential for maintaining the cellular redox homeostasis and play critical roles in pathological and physiological processes. The development of Cys/Hcy-specific responsive fluorescent probes that are independent of the surrounding environment, equipment, and abundant endogenous GSH is critical to accurately investigate the roles of Cys/Hcy in living biological systems. In this work, a novel ratiometric and mitochondria-anchored fluorescence chemosensor, PYR, was constructed on the basis of 4-methylphenol-substituted pyronin fluorophore. The probe exhibited ratiometric fluorescence emission (F540 nm/F620 nm) for the detection of Cys/Hcy with high selectivity, sensitivity (Cys, 22 nM; Hcy, 23 nM), rapid response (Cys, 5 min), and a merit enhancement of ratio fluorescent signal (Cys, 163-fold; Hcy, 125-fold). The probe showed excellent membrane permeability and was applied to visualize mitochondrial biothiols in living cells under H2O2-induced redox imbalance, kidney tissues with a penetration depth of 100 μm, and Daphnia magna model for the first time. The results demonstrate that PYR will provide a promising platform for the diagnosis of thiol-related diseases.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) play many crucial physiological roles in organisms. Their abnormal levels can cause and indicate various diseases. In the present study, a small-molecule fluorescent probe 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)phenyl acrylate (IPPA) was designed, synthesized and characterized by NMR, FT-IR and HRMS. IPPA can selectively detect Cys over other analytes because of an approximately 76 times enhancement in fluorescence intensity. The limit of detection of IPPA for Cys was 0.33 μM. The pseudo-first-order rate constant of the reaction between IPPA and Cys was approximately 10 times that of the reaction between IPPA and Hcy (KCys 3.18 × 10-3 S-1vs KHcy 4.92 × 10-4 S-1), indicating that Cys can be distinguished from Hcy. In addition, IPPA exhibits strong anti-interference ability, small molecular weight, high efficiency, low toxicity and good cell permeability. It was successfully used in imaging HepG2 cells and zebrafish. The fluorescence response of IPPA for calf serum are powerful proofs for practical application. Therefore, IPPA has high potential for bioassay applications.

Abstract
Cysteine(Cys) is tightly related to physiological and pathological of human, and the imbalance of concentration of cysteine in the intracellular are associated with many diseases. Here, a novel NIR fluorescent probe TCF-Cys was designed and synthesized, and both the optimal excitation and emission wavelength of them were between 650 and 900 nm, that within the "optical window" of biological tissues. In aqueous solution, TCF-Cys, which with an acrylate extremity as a recognizing unit, exhibited excellent "turn-on" fluorescence response for Cys superior to other amino acids and thiols with a limit of detection of 0.1323 μM. Moreover, as an excellent naked-eye colorimetric indicator, TCF-Cys could effectively distinguishing the Cys, Hcy and GSH in aqueous solution through color change. Then, the response mechanism of TCF-Cys for Cys was revealed by TLC, 1H NMR, HPLC, HRMS and DFT calculation. Finally, TCF-Cys was successfully employed to fluorescence specifically map of exogenous and endogenous Cys in living cells and zebrafish with low toxicity.

Abstract
In view of the vital role of biothiols in many physiological processes, the development of simple and efficient probe for the detection of biothiols is of great medical significance. In this work, we demonstrate the use of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), which respond rapidly to biothiols especially to glutathione, as a new fluorescent probe for the selective detection and bioimaging of biothiols. This new fluorescent probe can distinguish glutathione from cysteine and homocysteine easily under physiological concentration and detect glutathione quickly within three minutes. This probe exhibits high selectivity to biothiols and the detection limit was determined to be 3.08 × 10−9 M for glutathione, 8.55 × 10−8 M for cysteine, and 2.17 × 10−9 M for homocysteine, respectively. The sensing mechanism was further explored by density functional theory (DFT) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment; results showed that the interaction forces between the probe and biothiols were electrostatic interaction. In addition, the probe has been successfully applied to the detection of biothiols in Eca9706 cells by fluorescence confocal imaging technology.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes with high quality for highly selective detection of cysteine (Cys) are still urgently in demand because of the indispensable roles Cys plays in the biological systems. Herein, a red-emitting fluorescent probe CP was developed for the highly selective detection of Cys over glutathione (GSH) and homocysteine (Hcy) by incorporating acryloyl group as the recognition unit into the 2-(2-(4-hydroxystyryl)-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene) malononitrile (P-OH) fluorophore which is characterized by red emission, noteworthy Stokes shift, and appreciable photostability. Basically, CP demonstrated appreciable sensing performance toward Cys including short response time of 4 min, high sensitivity with approximately 147-fold emission enhancement, low detection limit of 41.696 nM, and good selectivity both in the solution and living cells, indicating its promising potential of visualizing Cys in biological systems.

Abstract
A turn-on fluorometric method is described for selective and sensitive detection of cysteine (Cys). Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) capped with glutathione (GSH) are used as a fluorescent probe. If Ce3+ ion are present, they will bind to the carboxy groups of the GSH-capped Au NC. This results in aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE), best measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 360/575 nm. On addition of Cys, which has less steric hindrance compared with GSH and higher affinity for Ce3+, it will bind to Ce3+ through the carboxyl group and link with Au NCs via Au-S bond. Hence, the AIEE is increased and Cys can be quantified via this effect with a linear response in the 0.4-120 μmol L-1 Cys concentration range and a detection limit of 0.15 μmol L-1. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of cysteine detection via the Ce3+-triggered aggregation of glutathione capped gold nanoclusters which leads to increased yellow fluorescence.

Abstract
As an essential amino acid, cysteine is involved in various biosynthetic and metabolic processes, such as protein synthesis, hormone synthesis, and redox homeostatic maintenance. Inordinate cysteine levels are often associated with serious diseases. Thus, designing and synthesizing a novel fluorescent probe for determining the concentration of cellular cysteine, which could indirectly monitor the prevalence of these diseases, is essential. We developed a florescence probe P-Cy with good sensitivity for cysteine detection in vivo. P-Cy only exhibited good response toward cysteine but did not show response toward other biothiols, such as homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). In this study, we used P-Cy by successfully imaging cellular endogenous and exogenous cysteine levels. Furthermore, P-Cy was also performed in mice to detect cysteine level, indicating that P-Cy is a powerful tool for cysteine detection in situ.
