| Abstract | Fluorescent compounds based on synthetic small molecules are powerful tools to visualize biological events in living cells and organisms. Ever since the discovery of organic fluorescent compounds in the late nineteenth century, efforts have been made to “see” the behaviors of specific biomolecules in living systems by using these dyes as labels. Also, following the development of fluorescent Ca2+ indicators in the 1980s, many fluorescent probes or biosensors, which are defined as molecules that show a change in fluorescence properties in the presence of their target molecule, have been reported and applied in biological research. Today, a variety of probes are available that target metal ions, pH, enzyme activities, and signaling molecules. In this review, we first consider the history of organic fluorescent molecules and discuss their utility for labeling biomolecules and staining cells. Then, we review recent progress in small-molecule fluorescent probes for metal ions and reactive oxygen species, focusing on representative work in each category. Finally, we briefly discuss attempts to create novel kinds of probes, including hybrids of small molecules and genetically encoded proteins, with the potential to overcome some of the limitations of current probes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
