Sensing Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species Using Selective Fluorescent Probes

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are generally thought to be important mediators of various pathological conditions. Since fluorescent probes are promising tools for clarifying the functions of biomolecules in biological systems as demonstrated by the case of Ca2+ fluorescent probes, interest in the use of fluorescent probes for sensing ROS/RNS is increasing.
