Tyrosinase, a copper-containing enzyme existing widely in plants, animals and microorganisms, usually serves as an important biomarker in melanoma, and is also related to hyperpigmentation of the skin, melasma, age spots and albinism. At present, only one bioluminescent probe has been applied to image tyrosinase in cells. Thus, it's of great significance to develop a new bioluminescent probe that can detect tyrosinase in living cells and in live animals. In the current work, we report a new BL probe, TyrBP-3, which not detect tyrosinase in vitro and in living cells, but can also visualize the level of tyrosinase activity in tumors of living animals. In summary, TyrBP-3 is the first bioluminescent probe that can image tyrosinase on a cellular level. Hence, we anticipate that TyrBP-3 can be a good tool to monitor tyrosinase in complex biosystems in the future.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
