“…In contrast, quasi-reversible probes, while reacting with the oxidants irreversibly, produce products that can be reduced back to probes by cellular thiols or other nonenzymatic and/or enzymatic reductants [70, 82, 236, 237]. Many redox couples have been used for the design of such probes, including quinone-hydroquinone [238, 239], flavin-dihydroflavin [240], sulfhydryl-disulfide [241, 242], nitroxide-hydroxylamine [243, 244], selenium, and tellurium-based redox systems [245–248]. The fluorescent properties of such probes are affected by the redox state of the redox couple, which is controlled by both the rates of oxidation of the probe and of the reduction of the product.…”
