Abstract
To address key concerns on solid-state pyrene-based luminescent materials, we propose a novel and efficient mechanical bond strategy. This strategy results in a transformation from ACQ to AIE effect and a remarkable enhancement of pyrene emission in the solid state. Moreover, an unusual purification of emission is also achieved. Through computational calculation and experimental characterisation, finally determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, we prove that the excellent emissions result from mechanical bond induced refinement of molecular arrangements, including reduced π-π stacking, well-ordered packing and enhanced structural stability. This work demonstrates the potential of mechanical bond in the field of organic luminescent molecules, providing a new avenue for developing high-performance organic luminescent materials.

Abstract
Uracil has been modified at the 5-position to derive a small library of nucleobase-chromophores which were inspired by green fluorescent protein (GFP). The key steps in the syntheses were Erlenmeyer azlactone synthesis followed by amination by use of hexamethyl disilazane (HMDS) to produce the imidazolinone derivatives. The uracil analogues displayed emission in the green region of visible spectrum and exhibited microenvironmental sensitivity exemplified by polarity-based solvatochromism and viscosity-dependent emission enhancement. Solid-state quantum yields of approximately 0.2 and solvent dependent emission wavelengths beyond 500 nm were observed. Select analogues were incorporated into peptide nucleic acid (PNA) strands which upon duplex formation with DNA showed good response ranging from a turn-off of fluorescence in presence of an opposing mismatched residue to a greater than 3-fold turn-on of fluorescence upon binding to fully complementary DNA strand.

Abstract
meta-Fluorophores (MFs) are unique ultra-light (in terms of molecular weight (MW)) fluorophores exhibiting luminescence with a wide colour gamut ranging from blue to the NIR. Single benzenic MFs are easy to synthesize, are quite bright (with photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) as high as 63%) and exhibit very large Stokes shift (as high as 260 nm (8965 cm-1)), with large solvatochromic shift (as high as 175 nm), and very long excited-state-lifetime (as high as 26 ns) for such ultra-light fluorophores. An emission maximum of ≥600 nm has been achieved with an MF in a polar medium having a MW of only 177 g mol-1 and in a nonpolar medium having MW of only 255 g mol-1; therefore, a large-sized π-conjugated para-fluorophore is no longer a prerequisite for red/NIR emission. Structurally varied MFs pave the way for creating an ocean of opportunities and are thus promising for replacing para-fluorophores for different applications, ranging from bioimaging to LEDs.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) are of great importance in optoelectronics and biomedical fields. However, the popular design philosophy by combining rotors with traditional fluorophores limits the imagination and structural diversity of AIEgens. Inspired by the fluorescent roots of the medicinal plant Toddalia asiatica, we discovered two unconventional rotor-free AIEgens, 5-methoxyseselin (5-MOS) and 6-methoxyseselin (6-MOS). Interestingly, a slight structural difference of the coumarin isomers leads to completely contrary fluorescent properties upon aggregation in aqueous media. Further mechanism investigation indicates that 5-MOS forms different extents of aggregates with the assistance of protonic solvents, leading to electron/energy transfer, which is responsible for its unique AIE feature, i.e., reduced emission in aqueous media but enhanced emission in crystal. Meanwhile, for 6-MOS, the conventional restriction of the intramolecular motion (RIM) mechanism is responsible for its AIE feature. More interestingly, the unique water-sensitive fluorescence property of 5-MOS enables its successful application for wash-free mitochondria imaging. This work not only demonstrates an ingenious tactic to seek new AIEgens from natural fluorescent species but also benefits the structure design and application exploration of next-generation AIEgens.

Abstract
The unique tripeptide structure of green fluorescent protein (GFP), a Ser-Tyr-Gly motif, generates the mature chromophore in situ to define the emission profiles of GFP. Here, we describe the rational design and discovery of a biomimetic fluorescent emitter, MBP, by mimicking the key structure of the Ser-Tyr-Gly motif. Through systematically tailoring the tripeptide, a family of four chromophores were engineered, while only MBP exhibited bright fluorescence in different fluid solvents with highly enhanced quantum yields. Distinct to previous hydrogen-bonding-induced fluorescence quenching of GFP chromophore analogues, the emission of MBP was only slightly decreased in protic solvents. Heteronuclear multiple bond correlation techniques demonstrated the fundamental mechanism for enhanced fluorescence emission owing to the synergy of the formation of the intramolecular hydrogen-bonding-ring structure and the self-restricted effect, which was further illustrated via theoretical calculations. This work puts forward an extraordinary approach toward highly emissive biomimicking fluorophores, which gives new insights into the emission mechanisms and photophysics of GFP-like chromophores.

Abstract
Solvatofluorochromism, a solvation effect on the fluorescence color of an organic dye, is a property generally limited to fluid solutions. We demonstrate herein the concept of solid-state solvatofluorochromism by using an organogelator (1-SG), which consists of a solvatofluorochromic green fluorescence protein (GFP) chromophore (1) and a sugar gelator (SG). While 1-SG could be located in the liquid phase or in the fibrous solid matrix of the SG gel, our results show that the one in the solid matrix but near the liquid interface has superior fluorescence stability and quantum efficiency as well as solvatofluorochromicity than the one in the liquid phase. In addition, the phenomenon of fluorescence turn-on occurs when the gel is formed in protic solvents. These features have been applied to perform multicolor fluorescence patterning, chemical vapor sensing, data encryption and decryption, and real-time fluorescence cell imaging.

Abstract
The tremendous gap of fluorescence emission of synthetic green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore to the protein itself makes it impossible to use for applications in molecular and cellular imaging. Here, we developed an efficient methodology to enhance the photoluminescence response of synthetic GFP chromophore analogues by constructing dual-self-restricted chromophores. Single self-restricted chromophores were first generated with 2,5-dimethoxy substitution on the aromatic ring, which were further modified with phenyl or 2,5-dimethoxy phenyl to form dual-self-restricted chromophores. These two chromophores showed an obvious solvatofluorochromic color palette across blue to yellow with a maximum emission Stokes shift of 95 nm and dramatically enhanced fluorescence emission in various aprotic solvents, especially in hexane, where the QY reached around 0.6. Importantly, in acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide, the fluorescence QYs of both chromophores were over 0.22, which were the highest reported so far in high polar organic solvents. Meanwhile, the fluorescence lifetimes also improved obviously with the maximum of around 4.5 ns. Theoretical calculations revealed a more favorable Mülliken atomic charge translocation over the double-bond bridge and illustrated much higher energy barriers for the Z/E photoisomerization together with larger bond orders compared with the GFP core chromophore, p-HBDI. Our work significantly improved the fluorescence emission of synthetic GFP chromophore analogues in polar solvents while reserved the multicolor emitting function, providing a solid molecular motif for engineering high-performance fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) has revolutionized bioimaging and life sciences. Its successes have inspired modification of the chromophore structure and environment to tune emission properties, but outside the protein cage, the chromophore is essentially non-fluorescent. In this study, we employ the tunable femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) and transient absorption (TA) to map the energy dissipation pathways of GFP model chromophore (HBDI) in basic aqueous solution. Strategic tuning of the Raman pump to 550 nm exploits the stimulated emission band to enhance excited state vibrational motions as HBDI navigates the non-equilibrium potential energy landscape to pass through a conical intersection. The time-resolved FSRS uncovers prominent anharmonic couplings between a global out-of-plane bending mode of ∼227 cm-1 and two modes at ∼866 and 1572 cm-1 before HBDI reaches the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state on the ∼3 ps time scale. Remarkably, the wavelet transform analysis reveals a ∼500 fs delayed onset of the coupling peaks, in correlation with the emergence of an intermediate charge-separated state en route to the TICT state. This mechanism is corroborated by the altered coupling matrix for the HBDI Raman modes in the 50% (v/v) water-glycerol mixture, and a notable lengthening of the picosecond time constant. The real-time molecular "movie" of the general rotor-like HBDI isomerization reaction following photoexcitation represents a significant advance in comprehending the photochemical reaction pathways of the solvated GFP chromophore, therefore providing a crucial foundation to enable rational design of diverse nanomachines from efficient molecular rotors to bright fluorescent probes.

Abstract
A metal free topological approach is demonstrated to mimic the photophysical properties of natural gfp by synthesizing two gfp chromophore integrated conjugated microporous polymers (o-HBDI-TEB-CMP and o-MBDI-TEB-CMP). Interestingly, owing to the structural rigidity, the emission (λem = 515 nm) and excited state lifetime (4.1 ns) of hydroxy substituted o-HBDI-TEB-CMP are found to be similar to the natural gfp. The crucial role of the -OH group for the green emission is further supported by -OMe substituted o-MBDI-TEB-CMP (λem = 440 nm) and also validated theoretically.

Abstract
Complex liquid colloids hold great promise as transducers in sensing applications as a result of their tunable morphology and intrinsic optical properties. Herein, we introduce meta-amino substituted green fluorescence protein chromophore (GFPc) surfactants that localize at the organic-water interface of complex multiphase liquid colloids. The meta-amino GFPc exhibits hydrogen-bonding (HB) mediated fluorescence quenching, and are nearly nonemissive in the presence of protic solvents. We demonstrate morphology-dependent fluorescence of complex liquid colloids and investigate the interplay between GFPc surfactants and other simple surfactants. This environmentally responsive surfactant allows us to observe morphological changes of complex emulsions in randomized orientations. We demonstrate utility with an enzyme activity based fluorescence "turn-ON" scheme. The latter employs an oligopeptide-linked GFPc that functions as both a surfactant and trypsin target. The cleavage of hydrophilic peptide results in a morphology change and ultimately a fluorescence turn-on. Fluorescent complex colloids represent a new approach for biosensing in liquid environments.

Abstract
Dyad 4, comprising a triphenylamine (TPA) electron donor and 1,4-pentadien-3-one (pentadienone) electron acceptor tethered by a nonconjugated linker, displays solvatofluorochromism (SFC) and dual fluorescence associated with intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in the excited state. While the fluorescence arises from a locally excited state of 4 (LE-4*) in saturated hydrocarbon solvents, the fluorescence from the ICT state of 4 (ICT-4*) occurs in aprotic solvents. ICT-4* has a much greater dipole moment than its corresponding ground state. The results of theoretical calculations suggest that the conversion of LE-4* to ICT-4* involves a unique structural change like a leaning of the pentadienone moiety. Two factors are responsible for the significant SFC displayed by 4, the first being the high electron-donating and -accepting abilities of the respective locally excited TPA and pentadienone moieties in LE-4* and the other being a rigid ethano bridge that links the two moieties in ICT-4*. The former property facilitates photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) and the latter prevents full single electron transfer (SET) by prohibiting direct π-conjugation and the spatial approach of the two dyad components. Consequently, these electronic and geometrical features lead to SFC arising from a large dipole moment change caused by ICT and partial intramolecular SET.

Abstract
A set of different donor-π-acceptor compounds having dicyanovinyl as the acceptor and aryl moieties as donors were synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation. The UV–visible absorption and fluorescence spectra were investigated in different solvents. The optical band gab energy (Eg) was linearly correlated with the Hammett resonance effect of the donor to reveal that the higher the value of Hammett resonance effect of a donor, the lower the Eg of the molecule. The photophysical data revealed that compounds M4–M6 are typical molecular rotors with fluorescence due to twisted intramolecular charge transfer. Compound M5 revealed the largest Stokes shift (11,089 cm−1) making it a useful fluorescent sensor for the changes of the microenvironment. The effect of substituents on the optical properties of donor-π-acceptor compounds having dicyanovinyl as the acceptor are studied using density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory (DFT/TD-DFT). The optical transitions are thoroughly examined to reveal the impact of subtituents on both absorption and fluorescence, mainly through the modification of the structure in the excited state. The theoretical results have shown that TD-DFT calculations, with a hybrid exchange–correlation and the long-range corrected density functional PBEPBE with a 6–311++G** basis set, was reasonably capable of predicting the excitation energies, the absorption and the emission spectra of these molecules.

Abstract
Synthetic green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore analogues with a positive charge at the phenyl-like group have the highly electrophilic amidine carbon, smaller LUMO-HOMO energy gap, red-shifted electronic absorptions and fluorescent emissions, and accelerated E-Z thermoisomerization rates. They are water-labile and their hydrolysis results in ring-opening of the imidazolinone moiety with a half life around 25-37 h in D2O at 25 °C.

Abstract
The present work describes the photophysical properties of two newly synthesized compounds, namely (E)-10-butyl-3-(2-(thiazolo[4,5-b]quinoxalin-2-yl)vinyl)-10H-phenothiazine (PTQ) and (E)-10-butyl-3-(2-(1,1-dimethyl-1H-benzo[e]indol-2-yl)vinyl)-10H-phenothiazine (PBI). A strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) is observed in both dyes as indicated from absorption and emission studies on varying the solvent polarity. This can be concluded from the large Stokes shifts among these dyes as PTQ exhibits large Stokes shift with >270nm and PBI around 200nm. The effect of increasing polarity caused drastic increase in the charge transfer process leading to twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) process in both the dyes PTQ and PBI. Time-resolved emission studies and non-radiative decay rate constant indicates that the excited states of both dyes behave differently with respect to solvent polarity. The non-radiative decay constant increases dramatically with the solvent polarity specifying change of ICT emissive states in non-polar solvent while TICT emitting states in highly polar solvent. On the other hand, PBI follows a general trend initially exhibiting higher non-radiative decay constant in non-polar solvent like cyclohexane, lowest in moderate polarity owing to the ICT emissive state but with increase in the polarity, the non-radiative decay constant again increases indicating TICT states.

Abstract
A nucleoside bearing a solvatochromic push-pull fluorene fluorophore (dCFL ) was designed and synthesized by the Sonogashira coupling of alkyne-linked fluorene 8 with 5-iodo-2'-deoxycytidine. The fluorene building block 8 and labeled nucleoside dCFL exerted bright fluorescence with significant solvatochromic effect providing emission maxima ranging from 421 to 544 nm and high quantum yields even in highly polar solvents, including water. The solvatochromism of 8 was studied by DFT and ADC(2) calculations to show that, depending on the polarity of the solvent, emission either from the planar or the twisted conformation of the excited state can occur. The nucleoside was converted to its triphosphate variant dCFLTP which was found to be a good substrate for DNA polymerases suitable for the enzymatic synthesis of oligonucleotide or DNA probes by primer extension or PCR. The fluorene-linked DNA can be used as fluorescent probes for DNA-protein (p53) or DNA-lipid interactions, exerting significant color changes visible even to the naked eye. They also appear to be suitable for time-dependent fluorescence shift studies on DNA, yielding information on DNA hydration and dynamics.

Abstract
The effect of structural rigidity towards enhancement of fluorescence quantum yield of GFP chromophore analogues has been documented. In the present study, a new way of enhancing the fluorescence quantum yield of two ortho-meta GFP chromophore analogues meta-methoxy-ortho-hydroxy-benzylimidazolidinone (abbreviated as mOMe-HBDI) and meta-diethylamino-ortho-hydroxyl imidazolidinone (abbreviated as MOHIM) has been reported. This enhancement is controlled by the H-bond accepting ability (denoted as β value) of the solvent and happens only in the case of GFP chromophore analogues having ortho (hydroxyl)-meta (electron donating group) and not in the case of analogues having a para electron donating group. The ground state (solid) conformation of mOMe-HBDI has been obtained from single crystal X-ray analysis, exhibiting the existence of strong intramolecular H-bonding. However, in solution phase, as the solvent β value increases, the strength of intramolecular H-bonding decreases. This process has strong influence on the relative conformational orientation of phenyl and imidazolidinone rings. For mOMe-HBDI, fluorescence quantum yield increases with increase in β value of the solvents. However, the effect of solvent polarity cannot be completely ruled out. The lower wavelength emission band (∼480 nm) has been assigned to the normal charge-transferred (CT) species, whereas the highly Stokes shifted emission band (∼660 nm) has been assigned to the proton-transferred (PT) tautomer species for mOMe-HBDI. In solvents of low β value (say hexane) only the PT band and in solvents of high β value (say DMSO) only the CT band is observed. Quite interestingly, in solvents of intermediate β value both CT and PT bands, thus dual emission, are observed. For mOMe-HBDI when fluorescence decay is monitored at the normal CT emission band, it is observed to be biexponential in nature. The short component increases from ∼0.2 ns to 0.6 ns and the long component increases from 1 to 3.6 ns as the β value of the solvent increases. For a particular solvent, when fluorescence decay is monitored at the normal CT band, as the monitoring wavelength increases the amplitude of the long lifetime component increases and that of the short lifetime component decreases. Time-resolved area-normalised emission spectral (TRANES) analysis confirms the possible existence of two conformers having differential stabilisation by solvent polarity. When fluorescence decay is monitored at the PT band an instrument response limited (<60 ps) decay is noted. Strong support in favour of the above-mentioned structural, steady state and time-resolved optical observations and analyses has been obtained from the methoxy derivative mOMe-MBDI and MOMIM.

Abstract
The confinement effect of the β-barrel defines the emission profiles of the chromophores of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family. Here, we describe the design strategy and mimicking of confinement effects via the chromophore itself, termed the self-restricted effect. By systematically tailoring the GFP core, a family of 2,5-dialkoxy-substituted GFP chromophore analogues is found to be highly emissive and show remarkable solvatofluorochromism in fluid solvents. Fluorescence quantum yield (QY) and lifetime measurements, in combination with theoretical calculations, illustrate the mechanism relying on inhibition of torsional rotation around the exocyclic CC bond. Meanwhile, theoretical calculations further reveal that the electrostatic interaction between the solvent and the imidazolinone oxygen can contribute to suppress the radiationless decay channel around the exocyclic C═C double bond. Our findings put forward a universal approach toward unlocked highly emissive GFPc analogues, potentially promoting the understanding of the photophysics and biochemical application of GFP chromophore analogues.

Abstract
A reconstructive phase transition has been found and studied in ultrashort di- and tripeptide nanostructures, self-assembled from biomolecules of different compositions and origin such as aromatic, aliphatic, linear, and cyclic (linear FF-diphenylalanine, linear LL-dileucine, FFF-triphenylalanine, and cyclic FF-diphenylalanine). The native linear aromatic FF, FFF and aliphatic LL peptide nanoensembles of various shapes (nanotubes and nanospheres) have asymmetric elementary structure and demonstrate nonlinear optical and piezoelectric effects. At elevated temperature, 140-180 °C, these native supramolecular structures (except for native Cyc-FF nanofibers) undergo an irreversible thermally induced transformation via reassembling into a completely new thermodynamically stable phase having nanowire morphology similar to those of amyloid fibrils. This reconstruction process is followed by deep and similar modification at all levels: macroscopic (morphology), molecular, peptide secondary, and electronic structures. However, original Cyc-FF nanofibers preserve their native physical properties. The self-fabricated supramolecular fibrillar ensembles exhibit the FTIR and CD signatures of new antiparallel β-sheet secondary folding with intermolecular hydrogen bonds and centrosymmetric structure. In this phase, the β-sheet nanofibers, irrespective of their native biomolecular origin, do not reveal nonlinear optical and piezoelectric effects, but do exhibit similar profound modification of optoelectronic properties followed by the appearance of visible (blue and green) photoluminescence (PL), which is not observed in the original peptides and their native nanostructures. The observed visible PL effect, ascribed to hydrogen bonds of thermally induced β-sheet secondary structures, has the same physical origin as that of the fluorescence found recently in amyloid fibrils and can be considered to be an optical signature of β-sheet structures in both biological and bioinspired materials. Such PL centers represent a new class of self-assembled dyes and can be used as intrinsic optical labels in biomedical microscopy as well as for a new generation of novel optoelectronic nanomaterials for emerging nanophotonic applications, such as biolasers, biocompatible markers, and integrated optics.

Abstract
This paper provides the first example of experimentally characterized hydrogen-bond cooperativity on fluorescence quenching with a modified green fluorescence protein (GFP) chromophore that contains a 6-membered C═N···H-O and a 7-membered C═O···H-O intramolecular H-bonds. Variable-temperature (1)H NMR and electronic absorption and emission spectroscopies were used to elucidate the preference of intra- vs intermolecular H-bonding at different concentrations (1 mM and 10 μM), and X-ray crystal structures provide clues of possible intermolecular H-bonding modes. In the ground state, the 6-membered H-bond is significant but the 7-membered one is rather weak. However, fluorescence quenching is dominated by the 7-membered H-bond, indicating a strengthening of the H-bond in the excited state. The H-bonding effect is more pronounced in more polar solvents, and no intermediates were observed from femtosecond fluorescence decays. The fluorescence quenching is attributed to the occurrence of diabatic excited-state proton transfer. Cooperativity of the two intramolecular H-bonds on spectral shifts and fluorescence quenching is evidenced by comparing with both the single H-bonded and the non-H-bonded counterparts. The H-bond cooperativity does not belong to the conventional patterns of σ- and π-cooperativity but a new type of polarization interactions, which demonstrates the significant interplay of H-bonds for multiple H-bonding systems in the electronically excited states.

Abstract
Z-E Isomerisation because of rotation around the exocyclic double bond (known as the τ-twist) and not any other internal conversion has been reported to be the major nonradiative decay channel for non-hydroxylic unconstrained para and meta GFP chromophore analogues. The equation Φf + 2ΦZE = 1 has been shown to hold well for both para and meta GFP chromophore analogues. If the above equation holds true, then upon reducing the extent of Z-E isomerisation (ΦZE), the fluorescence quantum yield (Φf) should increase. To probe the above proposition two sets of non-hydroxylic unconstrained para and meta GFP chromophore analogues were synthesized. Quite interestingly by introducing the strongly electron donating -NEt2 group to the benzenic moiety these para and meta GFP chromophore analogues were shown to exhibit differential optical behaviour w.r.t. the extent of the solvatochromic shift, Φf, ΦZE, and τf. For the first time it has been shown that the well accepted equation Φf + 2ΦZE = 1 does not hold at all for these non-hydroxylic unconstrained meta analogues. Although ΦZE has been shown to be <10%, Φf is much lower than the expected near unity value for these meta analogues. After detailed investigation into the nonradiative excited state decay channel, contrary to literature reports, energy gap law governed internal conversion and not Z-E isomerisation was shown to be the major nonradiative decay channel for these meta analogues. Two models are put forward to understand the differential optical behaviour of these para and meta GFP chromophore analogues. Support from X-ray crystal structures, NMR experiments, and computational calculations has also been provided.

Abstract
We report a rapid and specific aptamer-based method for one-step cocaine detection with minimal reagent requirements. The feasibility of aptamer-based detection has been demonstrated with sensors that operate via target-induced conformational change mechanisms, but these have generally exhibited limited target sensitivity. We have discovered that the cocaine-binding aptamer MNS-4.1 can also bind the fluorescent molecule 2-amino-5,6,7-trimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine (ATMND) and thereby quench its fluorescence. We subsequently introduced sequence changes into MNS-4.1 to engineer a new cocaine-binding aptamer (38-GC) that exhibits higher affinity to both ligands, with reduced background signal and increased signal gain. Using this aptamer, we have developed a new sensor platform that relies on the cocaine-mediated displacement of ATMND from 38-GC as a result of competitive binding. We demonstrate that our sensor can detect cocaine within seconds at concentrations as low as 200 nM, which is 50-fold lower than existing assays based on target-induced conformational change. More importantly, our assay achieves successful cocaine detection in body fluids, with a limit of detection of 10.4, 18.4, and 36 μM in undiluted saliva, urine, and serum samples, respectively.

Abstract
A host framework for inclusion of various guest molecules was investigated by preparation of inclusion crystals of 1,8-bis(4-aminophenyl)anthracene (1,8-BAPA) with organic solvents. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed construction of the same inclusion space incorporating 1,8-BAPA and eight guest molecules including both non-polar (benzene) and polar guests (N,N-dimethylformamide, DMF). Fluorescence efficiencies varied depending on guest molecule polarity; DMF inclusion crystals exhibited the highest fluorescence intensity (ΦF=0.40), four times as high as that of a benzene inclusion crystal (ΦF=0.10). According to systematic investigations of inclusion phenomena, strong host–guest interactions and filling of the inclusion space led to a high fluorescence intensity. Temperature-dependent fluorescence spectral measurements revealed these factors effectively immobilised the host framework. Although hydrogen bonding commonly decreases fluorescence intensity, the present study demonstrated that such strong interactions provide excellent conditions for fluorescence enhancement. Thus, this remarkable behaviour has potential application toward sensing of highly polar molecules, such as biogenic compounds.

Abstract
A novel class of fluorescent dyes based on conformationally locked GFP chromophore is reported. These dyes are characterized by red-shifted spectra, high fluorescence quantum yields and pH-independence in physiological pH range. The intra- and intermolecular mechanisms of radiationless deactivation of ABDI-BF2 fluorophore by selective structural locking of various conformational degrees of freedom were studied. A unique combination of solvatochromic and lipophilic properties together with "infinite" photostability (due to a dynamic exchange between free and bound dye) makes some of the novel dyes promising bioinspired tools for labeling cellular membranes, lipid drops and other organelles.
