| The Photoswitchable Halo Tag (psHaloTag) is a unique chemigenetic system designed to provide reversible, light-controlled fluorescence tunable through both genetic and synthetic modifications, with promising applications for dynamic imaging in biological microscopy <ref>https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202424955</ref>. psHaloTag addresses a major gap in the availability of reliable, reversible systems suitable for live-cell imaging. Many current systems are limited in tracking long-term, cyclical processes or in refreshing the pool of observable molecules. psHaloTag combines the genetically encoded HaloTag protein with the light-sensing sAsLOV2 domain. When illuminated with 450 nm light, psHaloTag undergoes a reversible change that activates a bound rhodamine dye ligand, resulting in a significant increase in fluorescence. This strong, multiple-cycle reporter overcomes the limitations of irreversible systems. It is an important tool for achieving precise spatiotemporal control in demanding applications such as live-cell Super-Resolution Microscopy (SMLM), where many established photosensitive probes cannot be reactivated.

| This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
