  • Patent number: 12259325
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to compositions and methods for the detection of zinc. Provided herein is a class of zinc-responsive probes with tunable photophysical properties that can be modified for coupling to a solid support or other chemical moieties. In particular, modifications to the 5-position of the BODIPY core allows for alteration of probe properties and functionalities.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 27, 2023
    Date of Patent: March 25, 2025
    Assignee: Northwestern University
    Inventors: Seth A. Garwin, Emily L. Que, Thomas V. O'Halloran, Teresa K. Woodruff
