Spacer-free BODIPY fluorogens in antimicrobial peptides for direct imaging of fungal infection in human tissue
Functionalizing antimicrobial peptides with fluorescent groups is a useful strategy for imaging infection, but the tag can alter the performance of the probe. Here, the authors report a spacer-free method to directly functionalise an amino acid with a fluorogenic group and prepare peptide-based imag...
