Facile fabrication of aggregation-induced emission based red fluorescent organic nanoparticles for cell imaging

A cyano-substituted diarylethlene derivative aggregation-induced emission （ALE） dye with two amino end-groups and 4,4＇-（hexafluoroisopropylidene）diphthalic anhydride were facilely incorporated into red fluorescent organic nanoparticles （FONs） via room temperature anhydride ring-opening polymerization under an air atmosphere. These obtained RO-HFDA FONs were characterized by a series of techniques including gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, size distribution and zeta potential measurements, UV-Vis absorption spectrum, fluorescent spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Biocompatibility evaluation and cell uptake behavior of RO-HFDA FONs were further investigated to explore their potential biomedical application. We demonstrated that such FONs showed high water dispersibility, stable uniform spherical morphology （150-200 nm）, broad excitation band （350-605 nm）, intense red fluorescence （627 nm） and excellent biocompatibility, making them promising for cell imaging applications.     

Excitation wavelength dependence of the proton-transfer reaction of the green fluorescent protein

Picosecond time-correlated single-photon counting was used to measure the proton-transfer rate of green fluorescent protein (GFP) excited by several wavelengths between 266 and 405 nm. When samples of GFP in water and D2O are excited at short wavelengths, lambda(ex) < 295 nm, the fluorescence properties are largely modified with respect to excitation at a wavelength around 400 nm, the peak of the absorption band of the S0 --> S1 transition of the ROH form of the chromophore. The shorter the excitation wavelength, the longer the decay time of the ROH emission band at 450 nm and the longer the rise time of the RO- emission band at 512 nm. The proton transfer is slower by an order of magnitude and about a factor of 3 when GFP in water and D2O are excited by 266 nm, respectively.

The dimensions of Au and Ag nanoparticles protected by PAMAM-N were smaller and the size distribution was narrower when compared to those of polyamidoamine dendrimer. The presence of chromophore fragment (1,8-naphthalimide) allowed the fluorescent labeling of Au and Ag nanoparticles.

POLARIZED PHOTO ACOUSTIC SPECTRA OF PHYCOBILISOMES IN POLYVINYL ALCOHOL FILMS

Abstract— Phycobilisomes from Porphyridium cruentum , suspended in polyvinyl alcohol were found to be highly stable, and had normal absorption and fluorescence spectra. Intact phycobilisomes had a major emission peak at 680 nm, whereas upon partial dissociating the major emission was at 580 nm. Incorporation of phycobilisomes in thin polyvinyl alcohol films facilitated examination by photoacoustic spectroscopy. The photoacoustic spectra had a broad absorption maximum at 545–565 nm (phycoerythrin), which resolved as two peaks (545 and 563 nm) in absorption spectra. Stretching of films resulted in apparent chromophore reorientation in partially dissociated, but not in intact phycobilisomes. Only in dissociated phycobilisomes was observed a differential chromophore orientation at 685 nm by polarized fluorescence, which is attributed to a change in orientation of the terminal phycobilisome pigment relative to phycoerythrin.     

Bioinspired systems for metal-ion sensing: new emissive peptide probes based on benzo[d]oxazole derivatives and their gold and silica nanoparticles

Seven new bioinspired chemosensors (2-4 and 7-10) based on fluorescent peptides were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, (1)H and (13)C NMR, melting point, matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), and IR and UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopy. The interaction with transition- and post-transition-metal ions (Cu(2+), Ni(2+), Ag(+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Hg(2+), Pb(2+), and Fe(3+)) has been explored by absorption and fluorescence emission spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF-MS. The reported fluorescent peptide systems, introducing biological molecules in the skeleton of the probes, enhance their sensitivity and confer them strong potential for applications in biological fields. Gold and silica nanoparticles functionalized with these peptides were also obtained. All nanoparticles were characterized by dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Stable gold nanoparticles (diameter 2-10 nm) bearing ligands 1 and 4 were obtained by common reductive synthesis. Commercial silica nanoparticles were decorated at their surface using compounds 8-10, linked through a silane spacer. The same chemosensors were also taken into aqueous solutions through their dispersion in the outer layer of silica core/poly(ethylene glycol) shell nanoparticles. In both cases, these complex nanoarchitectures behaved as new sensitive materials for Ag(+) and Hg(2+) in water. The possibility of using these species in this solvent is particularly valuable because the impact on human health of heavy- and transition-metal-ion pollution is very severe, and all analytical and diagnostics investigations involve a water environment.     

Hidden electronic excited state of enhanced green fluorescent protein

Precise two-photon absorption spectra of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the mutants sapphire-GFP (T203I) and enhanced GFP (S65T/F64L), as well as a model compound for the chromophore, 4'-hydroxybenzylidene-2,3-dimethylimidazolinone (HBDI) were measured by multiplex two-photon absorption spectroscopy. The observed TPA bands of the anionic forms of enhanced GFP and HBDI were significantly shifted to the higher energy compared with the lowest-energy bands in one-photon absorption spectra. This result indicated the existence of a hidden electronic excited state in the vicinity of the lowest excited singlet (S1) state of the anionic form of the GFP chromophore, which is the origin of the blue shift of the two-photon absorption spectra as well as two-photon fluorescence excitation spectra.
