    Monitoring excited-state relaxation in a molecular marker in live cells–a case study on astaxanthin
    (London : Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2021) Yang, Tingxiang; Chettri, Avinash; Radwan, Basseem; Matuszyk, Ewelina; Baranska, Malgorzata; Dietzek, Benjamin
    Small molecules are frequently used as dyes, labels and markers to visualize and probe biophysical processes within cells. However, very little is generally known about the light-driven excited-state reactivity of such systems when placed in cells. Here an experimental approach to study ps time-resolved excited state dynamics of a benchmark molecular marker, astaxanthin, in live human cells is introduced. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2021.
