Abstrakt: | Studies of organometallic reactions in living cells commonly rely on ensemble-averaged measurements, which can obscure the detection of reaction dynamics or location-specific behavior. This information is necessary to guide the design of bioorthogonal catalysts with improved biocompatibility, activity, and selectivity. By leveraging the high spatial and temporal resolution of single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, we have successfully captured single-molecule events promoted by Ru complexes inside live A549 human lung cells. By observing individual allylcarbamate cleavage reactions in real-time, our results revealed that they occur with greater frequency inside the mitochondria than in the non-mitochondria regions. The estimated turnover frequency of the Ru complexes was at least 3-fold higher in the former than the latter. These results suggest that organelle specificity is a critical factor to consider in intracellular catalyst design, such as in developing metallodrugs for therapeutic applications.
