Abstract
Dye-ing to live: Spectral limitations of common organic dyes make it difficult or impossible to visualize and follow multiple biological components in rapidly moving systems. The development of a multispectral set of improved DNA-scaffolded fluorophores is described. Their use in multicolor cellular imaging (see scheme) and in tracking of biological motions on the subsecond timescale is demonstrated.
