Fluorescence quenching and time-resolved fluorescence studies on Trichosanthes dioica seed lectin

Fluorescence quenching and time-resolved fluorescence studies have been carried out on the Trichosanthes dioica seed lectin (TDSL). The emission lambdamax of native TDSL, seen at 328nm, shifts to 343nm upon denaturation with 6M guanidinium chloride. Quenching titrations were performed with neutral (acrylamide and succinimide) and ionic (I(-) and Cs(+)) quenchers in order to probe the exposure and accessibility of tryptophan residues of the protein. Maximum quenching was observed with acrylamide, followed by succinimide, iodide and Cs(+). Dramatic increase in the extent of quenching and other quenching parameters by all the quenchers were observed upon denaturation of TDSL, suggesting that all the tryptophan residues in native TDSL are buried in the hydrophobic core of the protein. Increase in the extent of quenching upon denaturation of TDSL was maximum with I(-) and minimum with Cs(+), suggesting the presence of positively charged residue(s), near at least one tryptophan residue. Addition of saccharide ligands such as methyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside and lactose led to a small, but reproducible decrease in the fluorescence intensity of the lectin. The presence of lactose provided a partial protection against quenching by I(-), Cs(+) and succinimide, but not acrylamide. In time-resolved fluorescence measurements the fluorescence decay curves could be best fitted to biexponential patterns with lifetimes of 4.09 and 1.53ns for native lectin, 3.40 and 1.65ns for the lectin in presence of 0.1M lactose and 3.50 and 1.40ns for denatured lectin.     

Determination of ranitidine, nizatidine, and cimetidine by a sensitive fluorescent probe

A validated, simple, and sensitive fluorescence quenching method for the determination of ranitidine, nizatidine, and cimetidine in tablets and biological fluids is presented. This is the first single fluorescence method reported for the analysis of all three H(2) antagonists. The competitive reaction between the investigated drug and the palmatine probe for the occupancy of the cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) cavity was studied using spectrofluorometry. CB[7] was found to react with the probe to form a stable complex. The fluorescence intensity of the complex was also enhanced greatly. However, the addition of the drug dramatically quenched the fluorescence intensity of the complex. Accordingly, a new fluorescence quenching method for the determination of the studied drugs was established. The different experimental parameters affecting the fluorescence quenching intensity were studied carefully. At optimum reaction conditions, the rectilinear calibration graphs between the fluorescence quenching values (ΔF) and the medicament concentration were obtained in the concentration range of 0.04-1.9 μg mL(-1) for the investigated drugs. The limits of detection ranged from 0.013 to 0.030 μg mL(-1) at 495 nm using an excitation wavelength of 343 nm. The proposed method can be used for the determination of the three H(2) antagonists in raw materials, dosage forms and biological fluids.     

Studies on the Spectra of 4,5‐Dibromofluorescein with Proteins and its Analytical Application

4,5‐Dibromofluorescein(R) binding to proteins causes a decrease in the fluorescence maximum of R at 530 nm; the intensity of fluorescence quenching is directly proportional to protein content, Based on this, a new fast and simple fluorescence quenching method for the determination of proteins was developed. Under experimental conditions, the linear range of this assay is 0?15 mg/L and the detection limit is 40 μg/L. The method has been applied to the analysis of human serum samples and gave values close to those obtained by the Coomassie brilliant blue G‐250 (CBB G‐250) method, which indicated that the method is not only high in sensitivity but also reliable.

Interaction of Fusarium solani lectin with monosaccharides and oligosaccharides: a fluorometric study

The intrinsic fluorescence intensity of Fusarium solani lectin was quenched upon binding to mono- and oligosaccharides without any change in the emission maximum and it was used to determine association constants for several sugars and glycans. The lectin interacted very poorly with monosaccharides but well with disaccharides (T-antigen and LacNAc) with a distinction between beta1-->4 and beta1-->3 linkages. Among the monosaccharides, the interaction was observed only with Gal/GalNAc derivatives and not with Glc/Man derivatives. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the binding of the lectin with all the saccharides is enthalpically driven and exothermic in nature. Asialo-triantennary N-glycan and asialo-biantennary N-glycan showed higher affinity than monovalent LacNAc with significant increase in binding enthalpy, pointing towards the importance of multivalency in the lectin-ligand interactions. Time-resolved fluorescence measurement indicated the lectin has two lifetimes for tryptophan and the shorter lifetime is affected on ligand binding.     

高荧光量子产率钕、氮双掺杂碳点用于柳氮磺吡啶检测及Hela细胞成像

以柠檬酸氢二铵、缓血酸铵和硝酸钕为起始原料,通过水热法合成了荧光量子产率为93.05%、发蓝色荧光的钕、氮双掺杂碳点（Nd,N-CDs）。采用透射电子显微镜（TEM）、粉末X射线衍射（XRD）、红外光谱（FT-IR）及X射线光电子能谱（XPS）等技术对Nd,N-CDs的形貌及表面结构进行了详细表征,采用紫外可见吸收光谱及荧光光谱考察了其光学性质和稳定性。结果显示,药物分子柳氮磺吡啶（SSZ）能够使Nd,N-CDs的荧光显著降低,而金属离子及另外4种药物分子没有明显效果。由此,建立了一种选择性检测SSZ的荧光检测方法,线性检测范围在0.1~50 μmol/L之间,检出限低至0.05 μmol/L。机理探讨表明,荧光猝灭主要涉及动态猝灭和荧光共振能量转移两种机制。所建立的分析方法能用于测定实际药片中的SSZ含量,回收率为98.1%~104.2%。此外,Nd,N-CDs表现出很好的生物相容性,能够作为荧光探针穿透细胞壁使细胞质染色,因不会进一步穿透进入细胞核,很好的避免了对细胞的深层次破坏。     

A novel method for ranitidine hydrochloride determination in aqueous solution based on fluorescence quenching of functionalised CdS QDs through photoinduced charge transfer process: spectroscopic approach

A novel method for the quantitative determination of ranitidine hydrochloride (RNH) based on the fluorescence quenching of functionalised CdS quantum dots (QDs) by RNH in aqueous solution was proposed. The method is simple, rapid, specific and highly sensitive with good precision. The thioglycolic acid (TGA)-capped CdS QDs were synthesized from cadmium nitrate and sodium sulfide in alkaline solution. Under the optimal conditions, the Stern-Volmer calibration plot of F(0)/F against concentration of RNH was linear in the range of 0.50-15.0 μg mL(-1) with a correlation coefficient of 0.996. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.38 μg mL(-1). The method was satisfactorily applied to the direct determination of RNH in pharmaceutical formulations with no significant interference from excipients. The results were found to be in good agreement with those obtained by the reference method and the claimed value. The accuracy and reliability of the method were further ascertained by recovery studies via the standard-addition method, with percentage recoveries in the range of 98.47 to 102.30%. The possible fluorescence quenching mechanism for the reaction was also discussed.

A fluorescent lectin array using supramolecular hydrogel for simple detection and pattern profiling for various glycoconjugates

Because sugar and its derivatives play important roles in various biological phenomena, the rapid and high-throughput analysis of various glycoconjugates is keenly desirable. We describe herein the construction of a novel fluorescent lectin array for saccharide detection using a supramolecular hydrogel matrix. In this array, the fluorescent lectins were noncovalently fixed under semi-wet conditions to suppress the protein denaturation. It is demonstrated by fluorescence titration and fluorescence lifetime experiments that the immobilized lectins act as a molecular recognition scaffold in the hydrogel matrix, similar to that in aqueous solution. That is, a bimolecular fluorescence quenching and recovery (BFQR) method can successfully operate under both conditions. This enables one to fluorescently read-out a series of saccharides on the basis of the recognition selectivity and affinity of the immobilized lectins without tedious washing processes and without labeling the target saccharides. Simple and high-throughput sensing and profiling were carried out using the present lectin array for diverse glycoconjugates, which not only included a simple glucose, but also oligosaccharides, and glycoproteins, and, furthermore, the pattern recognition and profiling of several types of cell lysates were also accomplished.

Measurement of glucose using fluorescence quenching

A new spectroscopic procedure for the measurement of glucose concentrations is described which is based on substrate induced quenching (SIQ) of an indicator fluorescence. The method exploits a novel photo reaction between thionine and NADH, the latter being generated due to the reduction of NAD⁺ in an enzymic reaction between glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) and glucose. The observed SIQ data was analysed using an empirical relation. A quenching constant of 1.8×10³ (±100) M⁻¹ is obtained for the substrate induced quenching of thionine by glucose. The reported method, which was investigated over the range 0–1000 μM, offers a glucose detection limit of 2.2 μM. Various applications of the proposed scheme are discussed, including its use to construct a fibre optic biosensor for glucose.     

Fluorometric determination of formaldehyde

A simple, selective and sensitive fluorometric method is presented for the determination of formaldehyde in water based on its reaction with 3,4-diaminoanisole in alkaline ethanol-water solution to give a strongly fluorescing Schiff base. The dependence of the fluorescence intensity on the solvent composition, quenching by acetic and sulphuric acid, heating time and interference by other compounds is discussed. The detection limit of the method is 0.6 μg/L. The recovery of formaldehyde spiked into river water is 93% with an R.S.D of 6.05% at a concentration level of 10 μg/L.     

新型水溶性咪唑基硅量子点制备及用于果蔬中痕量铜的荧光检测

硅量子点因其极佳的亲生物性和光学性能成为纳米材料新宠,但传统硅量子点水溶性差限制了它的广泛应用。本实验以三甲基硅咪唑为硅前驱体采用水热法制备水溶性咪唑基硅量子点。相对于硼氢化钠、抗坏血酸、牛血清蛋白、半胱氨酸和柠檬酸,柠檬酸钠作为还原剂和稳定剂制得的硅量子点荧光发射最强。合成反应于220℃下可在2 h内完成,所制备的硅量子点水溶性好,平均粒径为2.6 nm,红外分析证实其表面存在游离的咪唑基。研究表明,硅量子点能与铜离子相互作用导致荧光强度的明显下降。考察不同温度下Cu2+对硅量子点荧光的猝灭行为,发现荧光猝灭程度随温度升高而增大。这说明荧光下降属于静态猝灭,即Cu2+与硅量子点上的咪唑基作用形成稳定配合物。此外,共振光散射分析还揭示荧光猝灭过程伴随着粒子团聚。基于硅量子点的荧光猝灭行为,建立了痕量铜的荧光检测方法。当Cu2+浓度在0.04~2400μmol/L之间,硅量子点的荧光强度随Cu2+浓度的增加而线性下降,检出限(S/N=3)达1.29×10-8 mol/L。本方法具有高的灵敏度、选择性和重现性,已应用于果蔬中痕量铜的荧光检测。

Ultrasensitive fluorescence detection of glutaraldehyde in water samples with bovine serum albumin-Au nanoclusters

Based on the cross-linking nature of BSA in the presence of glutaraldehyde (GA), the fluorescence of BSA-stabilized Au nanoclusters was effectively quenched by GA. A new method for ultrasensitive GA detection in water samples was thus developed with fluorescent BSA-stabilized Au nanoclusters. The fluorescence quenching of BSA-stabilized Au nanoclusters in the presence of GA fitted to Stern-Volmer equation. In the GA concentration range of 0.8–6 μM, a linear relationship of F₀/F versus GA concentration was obtained with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2 μM. The relative standard deviation of 5 replicate measurements of 4 μM GA is 1.3%. This method shows good selectivity over other organics in water samples. The feasibility of the new sensor for GA in different water samples was demonstrated.
