Binding equilibrium of I− to serum albumin with resonance Rayleigh scattering

The binding equilibrium between l^? and human serum albumin (HSA) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied by means of the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and equilibrium dialysis. It has been found for the first time that RRS and multiple frequency scattering (MFS) are enhanced as the l^? binding to the HSA and BSA, but fluorescence quenches. The equilibrium dialysis results suggest that the binding of l^? to HSA and BSA fits a phase-distribution model other than Scatchard model, and that the order of magnitude of its phase-distribution constant was found to be 10⁴. It is most probable that Cl^? or other anion ions influence the binding of l^? by changing the ionic strength in the solution. The dialysis at different pH indicates that the binding mechanism is due to the electrostatic forces between the l^? and protonated basic amino-acid residues.     

Determination of sodium hyaluronate with some basic bisphenylnaphthylmethane dyes by resonance Rayleigh scattering method

In an acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution ofpH 3.6-6.8,a compound complex was formed between sodium hyaluronate (abbreviated as SH)and some basic bisphenylnaphthylmethane dyes,leading to a great enhancement of the intensity of resonance Rayleigh scattering(RRS)and giving a new RRS spectrum,with its maximum scattering peak near 280 um.It was also found that the intensity of RRS was directly proportional to the concentration of SH near the range between 0 and 3.0 mg/L.Based on these facts,a sensitive method for the determination of SH has been established.The method had good selectivity,and has been used for the determination of total amounts of SH in samples with satisfactory results.For the NB-SH system,the detection limit of SH was down to 13.7 ng/mL.     

The resonance Rayleigh scattering of the interaction of copper(Ⅱ)-bleomycinA2 with DNA and its analytical application

The forming of bleomycinA2-Cu(Ⅱ) cationic chelate and the interaction of the chelate with DNA have been investigated by using resonance Rayleigh scattering(RRS),molecular absorption and fluorescence spectra.The result shows that in aqueous solution,bleomycinA2(BLMA2) can react with Cu(Ⅱ) to form 1:1 cationic chelate which contributes to the changes of the absorption spectra and the quenched fluorescence of BLMA2.When the cationic chelate further bound with DNA to form ternary ion-association complexes,the r...     

Solid-state electrode with a Cu(I)-based membrane hydrophobised by PTFE for the measurement of Cu2+ and I?

The preparation of CuI + Ag₂S and Cu₂[HgI₄] + Ag₂S membranes hydrophobised by PTFE is described. The pressed membranes mounted in a multi-purpose all-solid-state electrode body have been examined as electrochemical sensors for Cu²⁺ and I^– ions. For the electrode with (CuI + Ag₂S + PTFE)-membrane experimental slopes of 29 mV(pCu)^–1 and 62 mV(pI)^–1 were obtained, in good agreement with the theoretical values. For practical measurement in solutions where both Cu²⁺ and I^– can be present, the investigated electrode offers certain advantages in comparison with a commercial Cu-ISE.

Influence of anion sizes on the formation of substitutional solid solutions in clathrate hydrate frameworks in the series of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide-tetrabutylammonium halide (F?, Cl?, Br?, or I?)-water systems

In the tetrabutylammonium iodide-tetrabutylammonium hydroxide-water system, solubility isotherms at 10 and 17°C were studied and two solid solutions based on tetrabutylammonium hydroxide clathrate hydrate were found to form, one tetragonal solution with 1: 32 composition (salt: water) and the other cubic with the 1: 28 composition. The influence of halide anions on the formation of substitutional solid solutions in the series of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide-tetrabutylammonium halide (F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, and I⁻)-water systems was considered.

Study on the resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra and resonance non-linear spectra of congo red-amikacin system and its analytical application

The interaction between congo red (CR) and amikacin (AMK) was studied by resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), frequency doubling scattering (FDS) and second-order scattering (SOS) combining with absorption spectrum. In a weak acidic medium, CR combined with AMK to form an ion association complex with the composition ratio of 1∶1 by electrostatic interaction, hydrophobicity and charge transferring effect. As a result, the new spectra of RRS, FDS, and SOS appeared and their intensities were enhanced greatly. The maximum wavelengths of RRS, FDS and SOS were located at 563 nm, 475 nm and 940 nm, and the scattering intensities were proportional to the concentration of AMK. These three methods have very high sensitivities, and the detection limits were 4.0 ng·mL?1 for RRS, 3.6 ng·mL?1 for FDS and 1.9 ng·mL?1 for SOS, respectively. At the same time, the methods have better selectivity. A new method for the determination of trace amounts of AMK with congo red by resonance scattering technique has been developed. The recovery for the determination of AMK in blood serum and urine sample was between 95.5% and 105.5%. In this study, the properties, such as enthalpy of formation, charge distribution and mean polarizability, were calculated by AM1 quantum chemistry method. In addition, the reaction mechanism and the reasons for the enhancement of scattering spectra were discussed.     

Spectroscopic and electrochemical studies on the interaction of an inclusion complex of β-cyclodextrin/fullerene with bovine serum albumin in aqueous solution

The potential effect of human exposure to carbonaceous nanomaterials (e.g., fullerenes or their derivatives) in the environment has become a concern. In the current study, we report the interaction of one water-soluble fullerene with bovine serum albumin using spectroscopic and electrochemical methods under aqueous solutions. The novel supramolecular inclusion complex of the water-soluble fullerene (β-CD)₂/C₆₀ was synthesized and characterized. In the mechanism discussed, the spectroscopic methods such as fluorescence quenching and ultraviolet-visible absorption, proved that the fluorescence quenching of BSA by (β-CD)₂/C₆₀ was the result of the formation of (β-CD)₂/C₆₀-BSA complex and that the mechanism of quenching might be a static quenching procedure. The binding constants K_a, the number of binding sites n, and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS at different temperatures were calculated through fluorescence spectroscopy, then as an auxiliary method, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) experiments confirmed this conclusion. The results indicated that the electrostatic interactions play a major role in (β-CD)₂/C₆₀-BSA association. The circular dichroism spectra show the conformation change of the effect of (β-CD)₂/C₆₀ on the conformation of BSA, which was confirmed by the results of the three-dimensional fluorescence spectra. Site marker competitive experiments indicate that the binding of (β-CD)₂/C₆₀ to BSA primarily took place in site I. The distance r between donor (BSA) and acceptor ((β-CD)₂/C₆₀) was obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). This work aims to demonstrate the mechanisms of the formation of the complex between water-soluble fullerene and protein under physiological conditions, as well as the remediation for the possible unwarranted biological effects of water-soluble fullerene.     

Binding equilibrium study of phosphotungstic acid and HSA or BSA with UV spectrum, fluorescence spectrum and equilibrium dialysis

The binding equilibrium between phosphotungstic acid (H7[P(W2O7)6] · XH2O;PTA) and human serum albumin (HSA) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied by UV-Vis, fluorescence spectroscopies and equilibrium dialysis. It has been observed that UV absorption enhanced and the fluorescence quenched as the PTA binding to HSA or BSA at physiological pH 7.43(?.02). The Scatchard analysis indicated that there exists a strong binding site of PTA in both HSA and BSA, and the successive stability constants of these two systems are obtained by nonlinear least-squares methods fitting Bjerrum formula.

Surface active and aggregation behavior of methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids of type [Cnmim] [X], n?=?4, 6, 8 and [X]?=?Cl?, Br?, and I? in water

The surface active and aggregation behavior of ionic liquids of type [C _n mim][X] (1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium (mim) halides), where n = 4, 6, 8 and [X] = Cl⁻, Br⁻ and I⁻ was investigated by using three techniques: surface tension, ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). A series of parameters including critical aggregation concentrations (CAC), surface active parameters and thermodynamic parameters of aggregation were calculated. The ¹H NMR chemical shifts and SANS measurements reveal no evidence of aggregates for the short-chain 1-butylmim halides in water and however small oblate ellipsoidal shaped aggregates are formed by ionic liquids with 1-hexyl and 1-octyl chains. Analysis of SANS data analysis at higher concentrations of [C₈mim][Cl] showed that the microstructures consist of cubically packed molecules probably through π–π and hydrogen bond interactions.     

Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy with Active Phase Management?

Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) is a powerful method to probe the coherent electron dynamics in complicated systems. Stabilizing the phase difference of the incident ultrashort pulses is the most challenging part for experimental demonstration of 2DES. Here, we present a tutorial review on the 2DES protocols based on active phase managements which are originally developed for quantum optics experiments. We introduce the 2DES techniques in box and pump-probe geometries with phase stabilization realized by interferometry, and outline the fully collinear 2DES approach with the frequency tagging by acoustic optical modulators and frequency combs. The combination of active phase managements, ultrashort pulses and other spectroscopic methods may open new opportunities to tackle essential challenges related to excited states.

Bestimmung von Halogenidionen (Cl?, Br?, J?) in Halogenidgemischen

Zusammenfassung Es wird über eine Methode zur Bestimmung von Halogenidionen in Halogenidgemischen berichtet. Die Endpunktindikation erfolgt nach dem Prinzip der Polarisationsspannungstitration und liefert scharf ausgeprägte Titrationsendpunkte in der Reihenfolge der Schwerlöslichkeit der Ag-Halogenide. Insbesondere wird auch der für Serienanalysen erforderlichen Einfachheit und geringen Störanfälligkeit Rechnung getragen. Das Verfahren eignet sich für die Analyse anorganischer Halogenidgemische, für die Bestimmung von CN^–- und SCN^– -Ionen und für die Analyse organischer Halogenverbindungen im Makro- und Halbmikromaßstab nach deren Aufschluß. Die Meßanordnung kann außerdem für die Bestimmung von Kalium und für die Endpunktindikation einiger chelatometrischer Titrationen eingesetzt werden.

Summary A method is described for the determination of halogenide in mixtures of halogenides. End points are sharply indicated by the polarisation titration technique in the order of solubility of the silver halogenides. The method is suitable for the analysis of mixtures of inorganic halogenides, for the determination of CN^– and SCN^–ions, and for the analysis of organic halogen compounds in macro and semimicro scale after decomposition. For routine analyses it offers the advantage of being simple and only slightly liable to interferences. Moreover, the assembly can be used for the determination of potassium and for the end point indication in some chelatometric titrations.

     

Resonance Rayleigh scattering study of the interaction of bleomycinA_5 with nucleic acids and its analytical application

The interaction of bleomycinA5 with nucleic acids has been investigated by using resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), molecular absorption and fluorescence spectra. The result shows that in near pH 2.2 buffer medium and absence of any metal ions, nucleic acids are capable of binding with bleomycinA5 (BLMA5) to form complexes which can remarkably enhance the RRS intensity and result in batho- chromic and hyperchromic molecular absorption of nucleic acids and fluorescence quenching of bleomycinA5. The RRS spectral characteristics for the binding products of bleomycinA5 with various DNA and RNA are similar, and the maximum RRS peaks are at 301 nm for ctDNA and sDNA, 370 nm for hsDNA, 310 nm for RNAtypeVI and RNAtypeIII, respectively. The increments of RRS intensity are greatly different in which DNA enhances greatly and RNA enhances lightly. In this work, the optimum condi- tions of the interaction and some influencing factors have been investigated. The reaction mechanism and a binding model for the interaction of BLMA5 with the nucleic acids are discussed. In addition, a highly sensitive, simple and rapid new method for the determination of DNA has been developed. The detection limits (3σ) are 5.7 ng/mL for ctDNA, 7.4 ng/mL for sDNA and 9.2 ng/mL for hsDNA, respectively. The method can be applied to determination of trace amounts of DNA.
