<p>High signal-to-noise optical voltage indicators will enable simultaneous interrogation of membrane potential in large ensembles of neurons. However, design principles for voltage sensors with high sensitivity and brightness remain elusive, limiting the applicability of voltage imaging. In this paper, we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to guide the design of a bright and sensitive green-fluorescent voltage-sensitive fluorophore, or VoltageFluor (VF dye), that uses photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) as a voltage-sensing mechanism. MD simulations predict an 11% increase in sensitivity due to membrane orientation, while DFT calculations predict an increase in fluorescence quantum yield, but a decrease in sensitivity due to a decrease in rate of PeT. We confirm these predictions by synthesizing a new VF dye and demonstrating that it displays the expected improvements by doubling the brightness and retaining similar sensitivity to prior VF dyes. Combining theoretical predictions and experimental validation has resulted in the synthesis of the highest signal-to-noise green VF dye to date. We use this new voltage indicator to monitor the electrophysiological maturation of human embryonic stem cell-derived medium spiny neurons. </p>

Compounds of the type of 2-(4'-nitrobenzoyl)methylene-3-ethylbenzothiazoline (I) and 2-bis-(p-nitrobenzoyl)methylene-3-ethylbenzothiazoline (II) were studied polarographically and by ESR spectroscopy to obtain informations about their electrochemical and follow-up reactions and their conformation. Whereas with compounds of the type I the conjugation in their molecules is preserved, with type II the coplanarity of the molecules is disturbed, which is manifested in the values of the splitting constants of the ESR spectra and a slow electron transfer between both nitrophenyl substituents. These conclusions are supported by NMR spectroscopic studies.
