Static and dynamic quenching of biologically active coumarin derivative by aniline in benzene-acetonitrile mixtures

The fluorescence quenching of coumarin derivative, 4-(5-chloro-3-furan-2-yl-benzofuran-2-yl)-6-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (ClFBMC), in the presence of aniline in different proportion of benzene-acetonitrile mixture was studied by means of steady-state measurement (296 K). The quenching process was characterized by Stern-Volmer (S-V) plots, which display positive (upward) deviation. The positive deviation from linearity suggests that the quenching is due to the simultaneous presence of dynamic and static quenching, which is interpreted in terms of the ground-state complex formation and the sphere of action static quenching model. The sphere of action static quenching model agrees very well with experimental results. Further with the use of finite sink approximation model, it is concluded that the bimolecular quenching reactions are diffusion-limited. Various rate parameters for the fluorescence quenching process have been determined. The value of quenching constant k_q increases with increase in dielectric constant of the mixed solvent, suggesting the charge transfer character of the excited complex.

Interaction of BSA with proflavin: A spectroscopic approach

The interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with proflavin was investigated by spectroscopic tools like absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as laser flash photolysis. Absorption spectroscopy proved the formation of ground-state BSA-proflavin complex. Proflavin was found to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via static quenching. High value of quenching constant suggested that energy transfer occurred from BSA to proflavin. Distance between the fluorophore in the protein and the ligand (proflavin) was evaluated. Binding constant and number of binding site were determined for proflavin-BSA interaction both in phosphate buffer (pH∼6.8) and in sodium dodecylsulphate media. The values of the thermodynamic parameters suggested that the key interacting forces are van der Waal's interaction and hydrogen bonding. Laser flash photolysis study reconfirmed the formation of complex between BSA and proflavin.

Combined Quenching Mechanism of Anthracene Fluorescence by Cetylpyridinium Chloride in Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Micelles

The Stern-Volmer quenching constant (K_SV) for quenching of anthracene fluorescence in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles by pyridinium chloride has been reported previously to be 520 M^?1 based on steady state fluorescence measurements. However, such measurements cannot distinguish static versus dynamic contributions to the overall quenching. In the work reported here, the quenching dynamics of anthracene in SDS micelles by cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), an analogue of pyridinium chloride, were investigated using both steady state and time resolved fluorescence quenching. Concurrent measurement of the decrease in fluorescence intensity and lifetime of anthracene provide a quantitative evaluation of collision induced (i.e. dynamic) versus complex formation (i.e. static) quenching of the anthracene fluorophore. The results reveal that a combined quenching mechanism is operative with approximately equal constants of 249?±?6 M^?1 and 225?±?12 M^?1 for dynamic and static quenching, respectively.     

Fluorescence quenching of newly synthesized biologically active coumarin derivative by aniline in binary solvent mixtures

The fluorescence quenching of newly synthesized coumarin (chromen-2-one) derivative, 4-(5-methyl-3-furan-2-yl-benzofuran-2-yl)-7-methyl-chromen-2-one (MFBMC) by aniline in different solvent mixtures of benzene and acetonitrile was determined at room temperature (296 K) by steady-state fluorescence measurements. The quenching is found to be appreciable and positive deviation from linearity was observed in the Stern-Volmer (S-V) plots in all the solvent mixtures. This could be explained by static and dynamic quenching models. The positive deviation in the S-V plot is interpreted in terms of ground-state complex formation model and sphere of action static quenching model. Various rate parameters for the fluorescence quenching process have been determined by using the modified Stern-Volmer equation. The sphere of action static quenching model agrees very well with experimental results. The dependence of Stern-Volmer constant K_SV, on dielectric constant ε of the solvent mixture suggests that the fluorescence quenching is diffusion-limited. Further with the use of finite sink approximation model, it is concluded that these bimolecular quenching reactions are diffusion-limited. Using lifetime (τ_o) data, the distance parameter R′ and mutual diffusion coefficient D are estimated independently.     

Effect of temperature and pH on interaction between bovine serum albumin and cetylpyridinium bromide: Fluorescence spectroscopic approach

The fluorescence spectroscopic technique has been efficiently employed to investigate the interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) under different pH and temperature conditions. The binding constant, number of binding sites, thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG, ΔH, ΔS, and nature of binding forces between BSA and CPB were obtained by measuring the steady state fluorescence quenching of BSA by CPB. The experimental results showed that the fluorescence quenching of BSA by CPB was a result of the formation of CPB-BSA complex. The static quenching was confirmed from the Stern-Volmer quenching constant at different temperatures. The effect of CPB on the conformation of BSA was analyzed using synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy. pH dependence complex formation between BSA-CPB is due to the interaction between cationic side chain of CPB and the net charge developed on BSA. The distance ‘r’ between BSA and CPB was obtained according to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer.     

Fluorescence Quenching of 2,2″-dimethyl-p-terphenyl by Carbon Tetrachloride in Binary Mixtures

The fluorescence quenching of 2,2″-dimethyl-p-terphenyl (DMT) by carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) was investigated in different solvent mixtures of benzene and acetonitrile at room temperature (300 K). A positive deviation from linearity was observed in the Stern-Volmer plots for all the solvent mixtures. This could be explained satisfactorily by static and dynamic quenching models. The nonlinearities in the S-V plots are interpreted in terms of ground state complex model and the sphere of action static quenching model. The results suggest that positive deviations in the S-V plot are due to the presence of both static and dynamic quenching processes. To explain that bimolecular reactions are diffusion limited, we have used finite sink approximation model. Various rate parameters for the quenching process have been determined by static and dynamic quenching models. The dynamic quenching constant depends on the solvent polarity and indicates that quenching reaction is diffusion limited.

Rotamer-specific fluorescence quenching in tyrosinamide: Dynamic and static interactions

We have examined the environments of the three phenol rotamers about the C–C bond in tyrosinamide by fluorescence quenching. Steady-state acrylamide quenching yields a nonlinear stern-Volmer plot. With three distinct emitting species and no other information about the system, it is impossible to analyze the data due to the number of variables which have to be determined. We therefore reduced the number of variables by independently determining the fractional intensity and dynamic quenching constant for each rotamer through time-resolved fluorescence quenching studies. These parameters were then used to analyze the steady-state data for any contribution of static quenching. We conclude that the nonlinear Stern-Volmer plot for the quenching of tyrosinamide by acrylamide is a consequence of each rotamer having a distinct dynamic quenching constant and the presence of static quenching. The static quenching can be represented by either the sphere-of-action model involving two of the three rotamers or the ground-state complex model involving all three rotamers.     

Spectroscopic studies on the interaction between ZnSe nanoparticles with bovine serum albumin

The interaction between ZnSe nanoparticles (NPs) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by UV–vis, fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The results showed that the fluorescence of BSA was strongly quenched by ZnSe NPs and the quenching mechanism was discussed to be a static quenching procedure, which was proved by quenching constant (K_q). The recorded UV–vis data and the fluorescence data quenching by the ZnSe NPs showed that the interaction between them leads to the formation of ZnSe–BSA complex. Based on the synchronous fluorescence spectra, it was established that the conformational change of BSA was induced by the interaction of ZnSe with the tyrosine micro-region of the BSA molecules. Furthermore, the temperature effects on the structural and spectroscopic properties of individual ZnSe NPs and protein and their bioconjugates (ZnSe–BSA) were also researched. It was found that, compared to the monotonic decrease of the individual ZnSe NPs fluorescence intensity, the temperature dependence of the ZnSe–BSA emission had a much more complex behavior, which was highly sensitive to the conformational changes of the protein.     

Study on the Interaction Mechanism of Lysozyme and Bromophenol Blue by Fluorescence Spectroscopy

The interaction of lysozyme with bromophenol blue (BPB) in acetate buffer (pH 6.0) was studied by fluorescence quenching method for the first time. It was found that BPB could conspicuously quench the fluorescence of lysozyme by the static quenching process, possibly due to the binding on the active site near Trp62. The binding parameters including the binding constant and the number of binding site were calculated. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH°, ΔS° and ΔG° at different temperatures were obtained. The formation of lysozyme–BPB complex depended on the cooperation of the hydrophobic and electrostatic forces. And the binding average distance between lysozyme and BPB was determined. The effect of common metal ions on the binding constant of lysozyme–BPB was also examined.

Fluorescence quenching of betacarboline (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole) induced by intermolecular hydrogen bonding with pyridines

The influence of the hydrogen bond acceptor properties of pyridine derivatives on the fluorescence quenching mechanism of the betacarboline (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole) (BC) has been investigated. Absorption measurements suggest the sequential formation of two BC-pyridine hydrogen-bonded complexes: a covalent hydrogen-bonded complex (HBC) and its proton transfer tautomer (PTC). Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements reveal that the BC fluorescence quenching has static and dynamic components due to the ground and the excited state formation of the very weakly fluorescent PTC. Since the excited state HBC formation is a diffusion-controlled process, the efficiency of dynamic quenching is mainly determined by the relative magnitudes of the HBC backward reaction and the PTC formation rate constants.
