| Abstract | Despite the diverse roles of singlet oxygen ( 1 O2) in plants and animals, simple detection of 1 O2 has been limited due to technical difficulties. Here we report a colorimetric method for visualizing the generation and suppression of 1 O2 using a protein photosensitizer, mini singlet oxygen generator (miniSOG). Upon external light irradiation, miniSOG strongly produced 1 O2 and oxidized a universal chromogenic reagent, tetramethylbenzidine, leading to a rapid color change in solution. We used this finding to demonstrate the 1 O2 scavenging effects of well-known antioxidants and of natural compounds extracted from plants. Owing to its high usability and simplicity, our developed assay platform will be useful for screening potential scavengers for reactive oxygen species and will promote the development of various antioxidants. |
