Abstract

Through modular ROMP (ring-opening metathesis polymerization), biofunctional polynorbornenes are designed and fabricated from panchromatic fluorophores, bioactive peptides, and polyethylene glycol solubilizer for organelle-specific multicolor imaging. Attributed to the free permutation and combination of highly fluorescent red rhodamine B, green dichlorofluorescein and blue 9,10-diphenylanthracene fluorophores as well as signaling peptide sequences of F xrF xK and TAT, we successfully realize simultaneous multicolor imaging toward lysosomes and mitochondria in living cells first utilizing polymeric scaffolds. If more biofunctions could be incorporated, modularly designed copolymer would provide a promising opportunity to facilitate multitasking application to monitoring intracellular alterations and elucidating complex biological processes.
