MOLECULAR CONFORMATION OF IONIC SURFACTANTS IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION

The molecular conformation of ionic surfactant in aqueous solution is investigated withfluorescent probes which are intrinsic insurfactant molecules or externally introduced. Quench-lng or pyrene monomer fluorescence by alkyltriphenylphosphonium or N-alkylpyridiniumobeys Stern-Voimer equation, being diffusi6n-controlled dynamic quenching, but the behaviorof quenching with different lengths of alkyl chain is "abnormal", i.e. the longer the chain,the greater the quenching rate constant. The pyrene excimer fluorescence is observed in theaqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB), and the inhibition (for cationicquenchers) and promotion (for anionic quenchers) effects of CTMAB on the quenching ofpyrene fluorescence are also observed. The self-coiling conformation of ionic surfactantmolecules in aqueous solution is proposed to be responsible for these observations and theconformation to be dynamic.     

A Novel Fluorescent Aminoacid Designed for Fluorometric Detection of Cu （Ⅱ）

A fluorescent aminoacid was designed for selective and sensitive detection of Cu(II) in aqueous solution. The designing of this Cu(II) fluorescent chemosensing molecule, N ± (1‐naphthyl). aminoacetic acid (NAA), was based on the binding of Cu(II) to aminoacetic acid and the novel charge transfer photophysics of 1‐aminonaphthalenes. The fluorescence of NAA was found quenched by Cu (II) and several other metal ions of similar electronic structure such as Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II). The quenching was shown to occur via electron transfer within the metal‐NAA complex, which required an optimal combination of high binding affinity and favorable redox properties of the components in the metal‐NAA complex and hence afforded selective fluorometric detection of Cu(II). The calibration graph obeyed Stern‐Volmer theory and was shown for Cu(II) over the range of 0–2.75 ± 10–⁴ mol/L. The quenching constant of Cu(II) was measured as 8.0 ± 10³ mol/L that was two orders of magnitude higher than those of Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II). The 3SD limit of detection for Cu(II) was 8.00 ± 10^?6 mol/L with a coefficient of variation of 1.65%. Linear range for quantitative detection of Cu(II) was 2.67 ± 10^?5‐2.75 ± 10^?4 mol/L. The method was applied to synthetic sample measurements which gave recoveries of 105%‐112%.

A fluorescence spectroscopic study of the interaction between epristeride and bovin serum albumine and its analytical application

A new spectrofluorimetric method to determine epristeride (EP) has been developed, which based on the EP has a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of bovine serum albumin (BSA). There was the relationship between the fluorescence quenching intensity of BSA (ΔF = F_BSA − F_BSA-EP) and the concentration EP. The quenching mechanism was investigated with the quenching type, the association constants, the number of binding sites and basic thermodynamic parameters. The method had been successfully applied to the analysis of EP in real samples and the obtained results were in good agreement with the results of official method-HPLC.

Binding of the bioactive component daphnetin to human serum albumin demonstrated using tryptophan fluorescence quenching

Daphnetin (7,8-dihydroxycoumarin), one of the major bioactive components isolated from Daphne koreane Nakai, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of coagulation disorders. It is also a chelator, an antioxidant and a protein kinase inhibitor. In this paper, a combination of intrinsic fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and circular dichroic (CD) spectroscopy has been used to characterize the binding between daphnetin and human serum albumin (HSA) under physiological conditions with drug concentrations of 6.7 x 10(-6) - 2.3 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1), and a HSA concentration of 1.5 x 10(-6) mol x L(-1). Changes in the CD spectra and FT-IR spectra were observed upon ligand binding, and the degree of tryptophan fluorescence quenching did change significantly in the complexes. These data have proved the change in protein secondary structure accompanying ligand binding. The change in tryptophan fluorescence intensity was used to determine the binding constants. The thermodynamic parameters, the enthalpy change (DeltaH) and the entropy change (DeltaS) were calculated to be -12.45 kJ x mol(-1)and 52.48 J x mol(-1) x K(-1) according to the van't Hoff equation, which indicated that hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions played the main role in the binding of daphnetin to HSA, in accordance with the results of calculations performed on a Silicon Graphics Ocatane2 workstation. In addition, the binding distance between daphnetin and HSA was obtained (4.02 nm) based on the Forster energy transfer theory.

Study of approximate coupled cluster methods for first-order static properties

In this paper, we analyse the algebraic structure of the equations for calculating the first order static properties using several approximate versions of Coupled Cluster (CC) methods. In particular, the non-variational and the variational method using a CC wavefunction corresponding to an appropriately defined perturbed Hamiltonian as well as the simple expectation value expression using a CC stationary state are studied under different approximations. Two different models are proposed: (a) use of maximum overlap orbitals where the pertinent approximations are TT ₂, T ⁽¹⁾ T ₂ ⁽¹⁾, (b) use of Hartree-Fock orbitals and T(T ₁+T ₂), T ⁽¹⁾(T ₁ ⁽¹⁾ +T ₂ ⁽¹⁾ ) approximations. It is analytically shown that in both these models certain approximate versions of the methods under purview yield identical results for first order static properties.NCL Communication No. 3725     

Studies on the interaction of colloidal gold and serum albumins by spectral methods

The interactions of colloidal gold and serum albumins, including bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA), were studied by fluorescence and absorption spectrometry. Fluorescence quenching spectrometry was applied to study the interactions between colloidal gold and serum albumins. At pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the intensity of fluorescence emission spectrum of serum albumins decreased in the presence of colloidal gold, which indicated that colloidal gold quenched the fluorescence of serum albumins. Experimental results indicated that the combination reactions of colloidal gold and serum albumins were static quenching processes. Based on the effect of colloidal gold on fluorescence intensity, the binding constants, the numbers of binding sites and the acting forces between colloidal gold and serum albumins were found.
