Reading both physical and chemical properties of a microenvironment from a single fluorophore remains a challenge. Here we demonstrate that two coexisting molecular equilibria within one near-infrared cyanine, CyC4, encode two mechanistically distinct ratiometric reporting channels. A meso-amino group and a pendant car...

Phase separated biomolecular condensates create subcellular niches, yet their role in client regulation remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that Bacterial Ribonucleoprotein bodies (BR-bodies) are acidic. Using ratiometric fluorescent probes in vivo, we find BR-bodies exhibit a dense-phase pH of ∼5.1, significantly lo...

It is shown that aminoglycosides are a class of small-molecule RNA condensers, and neomycin B (neoB), an FDA-approved member of the family, is taken as a representative drug through which to dissect the mechanism.
