KL6. Coupling Molecular Recognition and Signaling<br />

Novel recognition-signaling conjugates, which integrate molecular recognition with signaling provides a<br />

powerful tool in the study of molecular recognition events in real time. Further improvements are obtained by<br />

combining spectroscopy and microscopy to generate dynamic probes to follow cellular events as they unfold.<br />

The generality of these conjugates will be demonstrated in following diverse events including: intracellular<br />

compartmentalization, molecular trafficking and identification of secondary targets.<br />

The limitations of using several probes simultaneously will be outlined and means to overcome these limitations<br />

by developing ‘tunable’ probes capable of emitting at different wavelength will be described.<br />

Advantages and limitations will be discussed.<br />
