Abstract: The present disclosure provides a fluorescently-traceable amino acid derivative and a preparation method and use thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biomedicine. In the present disclosure, an amino acid skeleton of the amino acid derivative is modified mainly by a fluorescently-traceable functional group. 4-chloro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl) has low polarity and strong fluorescence, and can be used to modify an N-terminal of the amino acid skeleton to conduct subcellular imaging. Moreover, the NBD-Cl has a relatively small volume, lacks reaction orthogonality, and causes little interference with biochemical reactions of the organism itself. The results of examples show that the fluorescently-traceable amino acid derivative has a desirable biological activity and can be fluorescently traced in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract: Conventional readout of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) sets an upper bound on the output voltage to be the product of the bias current and the load impedance, IB×Zload, where Zload is limited to 50? in standard RF electronics. This limit is broken/exceeded by interfacing the 50? load and the SNSPD using an integrated superconducting transmission line taper. The taper is a transformer that effectively loads the SNSPD with high impedance without latching. The taper increases the amplitude of the detector output while preserving the fast rising edge. Using a taper with a starting width of 500 nm, a 3.6× higher pulse amplitude, 3.7× faster slew rate, and 25.1 ps smaller timing jitter was observed. The taper also makes the detector's output voltage sensitive to the number of photon-induced hotspots and enables photon number resolution.
