DFHBI-1T IMAGES

A.Live-cell imaging of a COS7 cell expressing CGG₆₀-Spinach2^TMin the presence of either 20 µM DFHBI or DFHBI-1T. Images of the same cell were acquired using a 100 msec exposure with a GFP filter set. B.Quantification of average DFHBI-1T brightness of 10 cells expressing CGG₆₀-Spinach^TMnormalized to the brightness of DFHBI.
