Sulfonated rhodamines that endow xanthene dyes with cellular impermeability are presented. We
fuse charged sulfonates to red and far-red dyes to obtain Sulfo549 and Sulfo646, respectively, and
further link these to SNAP- and Halo-tag substrates for protein self-labelling. Cellular
impermeability is validated in live cell imaging experiments in transfected HEK cells and neurons
derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Lastly, we show that&...
