蛋白质-四羧基铜酞菁体系的共振散射行为及其分析应用

在pH 3.0的Clark-Lub's 缓冲溶液中,蛋白质与四羧基铜酞菁(CuPc(COOH)4)作用,使体系的共振光散射增强,在λ=389 nm处光散射强度最大.增强作用的强弱与蛋白质的含量成正比,据此建立了共振光散射测定蛋白质的新方法.此方法对牛血清白蛋白(BSA)、人血清白蛋白(HSA)、免疫球蛋白G(IgG)、鱼精蛋白(Protamine)、血清总蛋白(TP)的测定范围分别为0.05～1.60 mg/L、 0.025～1.60 mg/L、 0～1.45 mg/L、 0.1～1.50 mg/L、 0～1.60 mg/L,相应检出限分别为1.12×10-2 mg/L、 1.11×10-2 mg/L、 1.95×10-2 mg/L、 3.61×10-3 mg/L、 4.34×10-3 mg/L.方法应用于实际人血清样品中总蛋白的测定,结果与考马斯亮蓝法基本一致.     

尿嘧啶和5-氯尿嘧啶1S0→1S2跃迁动态结构的共振拉曼光谱

采用含时量子波包理论的简单模型对5-氯尿嘧啶和尿嘧啶的共振拉曼光谱开展了强度分析拟合, 获得了1(π, π*)激发态的几何结构变化动态特征. 结果表明, 尿嘧啶1S0→1S2跃迁的动态结构特征因5-位氯原子取代而改变. 5-氯尿嘧啶的动态结构特征主要沿C5=C6伸缩振动+C6H12 弯曲振动和N3H9/N1H7弯曲振动+N1C6伸缩振动反应坐标展开, 而尿嘧啶的动态结构特征主要沿嘧啶环的伸缩振动+C5H11/C6H12/N1H7弯曲振动和C4=O10伸缩振动反应坐标展开. π和π*轨道中氯原子的pz电子参与嘧啶环的p-π共轭作用导致了在1(π, π*)激发态上5-氯尿嘧啶的振动重组能更多地配分给嘧啶环的弯曲振动模式和C5=C6伸缩振动模式. 尿嘧啶在甲醇中的激发态动态结构特征与在水中的基本一致, 但波包沿C5H11/C6H12/N1H7弯曲振动+N1C6伸缩振动(υ12)和环呼吸振动(υ17)反应坐标的运动明显增强.

Validity of the quantum regression theorem for resonance fluorescence in a photonic crystal

Correlation functions of a driven two‐level system embedded in a photonic crystal are analyzed. The spectral density of the photonic bands near a gap makes this system non‐Markovian. The equations of motion for two‐time correlations are derived by two different methods, the quantum regression theorem and the fluctuation dissipation theorem, and found to be the same.     

Existence and multiplicity of solutions for asymptotically linear noncooperative elliptic systems

Using the minimax methods in critical point theory and a generalized Landesman-Lazer type condition, we establish two existence results of solutions for asymptotically linear noncooperative elliptic systems at resonance. Besides this, we obtain two solutions in the case of near resonance.     

Site-specific C content by quantitative isotopic C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometry: A pilot inter-laboratory study

Isotopic ¹³C NMR spectrometry, which is able to measure intra-molecular ¹³C composition, is of emerging demand because of the new information provided by the ¹³C site-specific content of a given molecule. A systematic evaluation of instrumental behaviour is of importance to envisage isotopic ¹³C NMR as a routine tool. This paper describes the first collaborative study of intra-molecular ¹³C composition by NMR. The main goals of the ring test were to establish intra- and inter-variability of the spectrometer response. Eight instruments with different configuration were retained for the exercise on the basis of a qualification test. Reproducibility at the natural abundance of isotopic ¹³C NMR was then assessed on vanillin from three different origins associated with specific δ¹³C_i profiles. The standard deviation was, on average, between 0.9 and 1.2‰ for intra-variability. The highest standard deviation for inter-variability was 2.1‰. This is significantly higher than the internal precision but could be considered good in respect of a first ring test on a new analytical method. The standard deviation of δ¹³C_i in vanillin was not homogeneous over the eight carbons, with no trend either for the carbon position or for the configuration of the spectrometer. However, since the repeatability for each instrument was satisfactory, correction factors for each carbon in vanillin could be calculated to harmonize the results.     

Immunosensor for the Measurement of Human Serum Albumin in Urine Based on the Spreeta Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor

The application of SPR for measurement of the concentration of human serum albumin (HSA) in urine was studied using the compact integrated SPR sensing system Spreeta. HSA was immobilized via cystamine and glutaraldehyde onto the gold sensing area and a competitive assay for HSA was developed using a limited amount of the monoclonal antibody AL-01 in solution. Measurements were carried out in the flow-through mode and the interaction between immobilized HSA and antibody was observed in real time. To obtain reproducible results, different conditions of the measurement (method of immobilization of HSA, data evaluation, concentration of antibody, regeneration procedure) were tested. The calibration curve for clinically relevant concentrations of HSA in urine samples was constructed using 300-times diluted antibody in the form of ascites fluid. The measuring range was between 0.1 and 5 mg/l of HSA, the sensing surface was successfully regenerated and suitable for more than 20 assays. The developed method was tested on real samples of urine; to overcome the non-specific adsorption of urine components, the differential approach was adopted and the measured signal was corrected by subtraction of the response observed in the absence of the antibody.     

Enhanced energy transfer from diolefinic laser dyes to meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin immobilized on silver nanoparticles: DFT,TD-DFT and spectroscopic studies

Porphyrin derivatives are known singlet oxygen sensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Energy transfer from a class of diolefinic laser dyes (DOLDs) as energy donors to the sodium salt of meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TPPS) as the accepter of energy would extend the range of photon harvesting down to the UV-region. Energy transfer was substantially enhanced in the presence of metallic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), as revealed by steady-state emission spectroscopy, lifetimes, and quantum mechanics. DOLDs under investigation are 2,5-distyrylpyrazine (DSP), 1,4-bis (β-pyridyl-2 vinyl) benzene (P2VB), and 1,4 bis (2-methylstyryl) benzene (MSB) as efficient donors of intense absorption in the UV-region. AgNPs enhance the rate of energy transfer from DOLDs to TPPS via bringing donor and acceptor into close- proximity with a concomitant increase in dipole–dipole interaction between excited state donor and ground-state acceptor. The DOLDs molecular structures were optimized using the DFT/CAM-B3LYP/6-311G++ (d, p) level of theory. The calculated electronic absorption spectra for the studied DOLDs in the gaseous phase and methanol solvent were studied using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) at M06-2X/6-311G++ (2d,2p) level. The calculated absorption/emission spectra for DSP laser dye in methanol are obtained at the TD/ M06-2X/6-311G++(2d, 2p) method. Notably, all theoretical results of the molecular structures under study highly agreed with the practical optical results. Energy transfer rate constants (k_ET) amid energy donor/acceptor pairs were determined by Stern-Volmer constants (KSV) and donors' lifetime measurements. The KSV values indicate an enhanced Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) efficiencies in the presence of negatively charged AgNPs. The critical transfer distances R_o were determined from the spectral overlap between the emission spectrum of donor and absorption spectrum of TTPS. These outcomes propose the application of designed metal-enhanced FRET for energy-transfer-based assays and photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications.     

2,4-二硫代尿嘧啶的紫外吸收光谱和共振拉曼光谱

硫代嘧啶碱基是光动力疗法潜在的重要光敏剂,其最低单重激发态的光物理研究已有广泛报道。然而,其较高激发态的跃迁性质和反应动力学研究较为稀少。因此,本文采用共振拉曼光谱和密度泛函理论计算方法研究2,4-二硫代尿嘧啶的紫外光谱和几个较高单重激发态的短时结构动力学。首先,基于共振拉曼光谱强度与电子吸收带振子强度f的关系,将紫外光谱去卷积成四个吸收带,分别为358 nm(f=0.0336)中等强度吸收带(A带),338 nm(f=0.1491)、301 nm(f=0.1795)和278 nm(f=0.3532)强而宽的吸收带(B、C和D带)。这一结果既吻合密度泛函理论计算结果,又符合共振拉曼光谱强度模式对紫外光谱带的预期。据此,去卷积得到的四个吸收带被分别指认为S0→S2跃迁、S0→S6跃迁、S0→S7跃迁和S_0→S_8跃迁。同时,分别对B,C和D带共振拉曼光谱进行了详细的指认,获得了短时动力学信息。结果表明,S_8态短时动力学的显著特征是在Franck-Condon区域或附近发生了S8(ππ~*)/S(nπ~*)势能面交叉引发的、伴随超快结构扭转的非绝热过程。S7和S6态短时动力学的主要特征是反应坐标的多维性,它们分别沿C_5C_6/C_2S_8/C_4S_(10)/N_2C_3+C_4N_3H_9/N_1C_2N_3/C_2N_1C_6/C_6N_1H_7/C_5C_6H_(12)和C_5C_6/N_3C_2/C_4S_(10)/C_2S_8+C_6N_1H_7/C_5C_6H_(12)/C_5C_6N_1/C_5C_6H_(12)/C_2N_1C_6/N_1C_2N_3/C_4N_3H_9/N_1C_2N_3等内坐标演化。
