Mitochondria-targeted, photo-activated protonophore.1 This novel tool consists of three structural units, a caged protonophore, a photocleavable linker coupled to a triphenylphosphonium moiety which confers selective uptake by the mitochondria.2 Cells are treated with Mito-Photo-DNP at 200 nM and irradiated with UV light at 355 nm. Mito-Photo-DNP can be employed for selective uncoupling of either individual or a small number of mitochondria within a cell when used with fluorescence imaging.1,3
