Influence of fluorophore and linker length on the localization and trafficking of fluorescent sterol probes
Abstract Fluorescent sterol probes, comprising a fluorophore connected to a sterol backbone by means of a linker, are promising tools for enabling high-resolution imaging of intracellular cholesterol. In this study, we evaluated how the size of the linker, site of its attachment and nature of the fl...
