We have designed and developed non-fluorescent, cell-permeable photoactivatable fluorophores, photoactivatable SPiDERs (paSPiDERs), which exhibit fluorescence activation upon light irradiation, accompanied by the generation of a quinone methide intermediate that binds covalently to intracellular proteins. The fluorescence signal is durable for 24 hours, resistant to fixation and compatible with immunostaining, and selective cell labeling can be achieved at single-cell resolution.
