Light-regulatable compounds are finding increasing utility as spatial and temporal probes of biological behavior. An independent measure Of Successful light-induced structural change is possible when alteration (e.g., activation, deactivation, etc.) of the bioprobe can be directly linked to a fluorescent readout. We have identified a series of photolabile fluorescently quenched cassettes that display extraordinarily large fluorescence enhancements upon photolysis. A pair of cassettes has been inserted into mitochondrial localization sequences to assess an organ e I I e-targeted light-mediated release strategy for controlling biological activity. The peptide constructs are readily absorbed by mitochondria and subsequently can be cleaved in a light-dependent fashion as assessed by the predicted changes in absorbance and fluorescence.
