表面增强能量转移效应的研究

通过分析2、2′菁染料水溶液、银胶体以及2、2′菁染料吸附于银胶表面时的吸收光谱得知,2、2′菁染料吸附于银胶表面时,有J聚集体出现,通过分析基频及高阶线性Raman光谱,证实了一些低波数的Raman信号是由J聚集体产生的,从而进一步证实了吸附于银胶表面的2、2′菁染料以单体和J聚集体形式共存.同时,由吸收光谱还可以看出,2、2′菁染料分子及其J聚集体分子的吸收带都处于银胶吸收带的半高宽范围内,满足共振条件,当用不同激发波长(514.5 nm和488 nm)的光激发吸附于银胶表面的2、2′菁染料时,观察到了J聚集体的敏化荧光,而用此激发光激发2、2′菁染料水溶液时,就没有观察到J聚集体的敏化荧光,从而说明了银胶表面的存在,加速了单体2、2′菁染料分子与其J聚集体分子之间的能量转移速率.

A New Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Pair and Its Application to Oligonucleotide Labeling and Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Hybridization Studies

We describe two new fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) compatible labels, their covalent linkage to oligonucleotides, and their use as donor and acceptor, respectively, in FRET hybridization studies. The dyes belong to the cyanine dyes, and water solubility is imparted by a phosphonate which represents a new solubilizing group in DNA labels. They were linked to amino-modified synthetic oligonucleotides via oxysuccinimide (OSI) esters. The studies performed include binding assays, determinations of molecular distances, homogeneous competitive assays, and limits of detection, which are in the order of 5 pmol/L for a 15-mer.

基于无标记荧光共振能量转移的microRNA检测方法研究

利用以阳离子共轭聚合物为能量供体的荧光共振能量转移(FRET)策略和滚环扩增放大技术,建立了一种新型的microRNA(miRNA)检测方法。阳离子共轭聚合物采用聚[(9,9-双(6’-N,N,N-三乙基铵)己基)亚芴基亚苯基二溴化物](PFP)。PFP是一种由大量吸光单元共轭而成的阳离子聚合物,具有独特的光捕获和荧光增强性能,可以和带有负电荷的DNA通过静电作用相互结合。SG是一种能够结合于所有双链DNA双螺旋小沟区域的染料,其在游离状态下,荧光微弱,但一旦与双链DNA结合后,荧光会大大的增强。首先,设计了一条可与目标分子特异性杂交的锁式探针和与RCA产物序列互补的DNA链。当体系中存在miRNA时,在T4 DNA连接酶作用下,锁式探针连接成环;随后,在phi29 DNA聚合酶和dNTPs共同作用下,在miRNA的3’端滚环扩增出一条与锁式探针序列互补的长单链DNA,所得产物与互补DNA链杂交形成双链DNA(dsDNA)。此时SG作为FRET受体掺入其中,形成SG-dsDNA共同体。随后, SG-dsDNA与PFP因静电相互作用而紧密接近,由于PFP的发射光谱与SG的激发光谱有重叠,因此二者之间可以发生FRET现象。反之,当体系中不存在miRNA时,挂锁探针则无法连接成环,阻止了扩增反应的进行及其产物与互补DNA链的杂交反应。加入SG后,由于SG与单链DNA的结合能力很弱, SG则游离于溶液中,不会与PFP发生有效的FRET。因此目标分子的浓度与体系的FRET效率直接相关。以let 7a作为待测miRNA分子,在0.05~5 nmol·L-1的范围内, let 7a的浓度与从反应体系测得的FRET效率(I520/I423)成正比。同时以无PFP参加的检测方案作为对比实验,证明了PFP确实具有提高灵敏度的作用。另外,以四种同族miRNA分子及两种其他miRNA分子作为干扰物质对方法的特异性进行了考察,发现除了两种与目标分子序列高度相似的物质存在干扰外,其他物质几乎不产生信号。利用该方法对细胞总RNA提取液中let 7a的含量及其加标含量进行了检测,测量所得回收率基本令人满意。所建立的方案不需要荧光标记探针,有效降低了检测成本,简化了操作步骤,在与miRNA相关的疾病诊断领域具有一定的应用前景。     

Polymers with spatial or topological constraints: Theoretical and computational results

In this review, we provide an organized summary of the theoretical and computational results that are available for polymers subject to spatial or topological constraints. Because of the interdisciplinary character of the topic, we provide an accessible, non-specialist introduction to the main topological concepts, polymer models, and theoretical/computational methods used to investigate dense and entangled polymer systems. The main body of our review deals with (i) the effect that spatial confinement has on the equilibrium topological entanglement of one or more polymer chains and (ii) the metric and entropic properties of polymer chains with fixed topological states. These problems have important technological applications and implications for life sciences. Both aspects, especially the latter, are amply covered. A number of selected open problems are finally highlighted.     

Luminescence and Energy Transfer in Frozen Solutions of Uranyl Sulfate in Selective Excitation

Luminescence spectra of vitrified solutions of uranyl sulfate in a concentrated sulfuric acid are investigated in the range 4.2–80 K in selective laser excitation. It is shown that the luminescence spectra are a superposition of two components — the component that is related to the resonance excitation of uranyl complexes and the component that is caused by the luminescence of uranyl complexes sensitized by the transfer of electron-excitation energy from the resonance-excited centers. The nonselective character is established for the spectral migration of electron-excitation energy with participation of the bending vibrations of the uranyl complex that ensure direct vibrational transitions between neighboring electronic energy levels. The temperature evolution of the luminescence spectra can be described within the framework of the model of configuration coordinates with allowance for only the linear terms of vibronic interaction.

Improvements in the Sensitivity of Time Resolved Fluorescence Energy Transfer Assays

The effect on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) of multiple labelling of DNA oligonucleotides with donor lanthanide chelate and acceptor CyDye fluors has been investigated. It is shown that using a multiple donor lanthanide chelate with a single acceptor Cy or Cy5 can increase sensitivity and fluorescence output. The enhanced FRET observed in the multiple donor label system has been utilised in two different DNA based assay formats to demonstrate the advantages over a steady state fluorescence assay and a radiometric assay.

Homogeneous Detection of Specific DNA Sequences by Fluorescence Quenching and Energy Transfer

The use of fluorescence quenching and energy transfer in DNA hybridization assays is reviewed. Placement of DNA probe labels within interacting distances by hybridization of DNA probes to target DNA or to one another allows rapid homogeneous analysis of specific DNA sequences. Due to the inherently lower sensitivity relative to heterogeneous assays, the fluorescence assays have been coupled with DNA amplification methods such as PCR to provide highly sensitive, clinically relevant homogeneous assays which can be performed in closed systems.     

Synthesis and Fluorescence Properties of Lanthanide (III) Perchlorate Complexes with Bis(benzoylmethyl) Sulfoxide

A ligand with two carbonyl groups and one sulfinyl group has been synthesized by a new method and its several lanthanide (III) complexes were synthesized and characterized by element analysis, molar conductivity, coordination titration analysis, IR, TG-DSC, ¹H NMR and UV spectra. The results indicated that the composition of these complexes is REL₅(ClO₄)₃·3H₂O (RE = La(III), Pr(III), Eu(III), Tb(III), Yb(III), L = C₆H₅COCH₂SOCH₂COC₆H₅). The fluorescent spectra illustrate that both the Tb (III) and Eu (III) complexes display characteristic metal-centered fluorescence in solid state, indicating the ligand favors energy transfer to the excitation state energy level of them. However, the Tb (III) complex displays more effective luminescence than the Eu (III) complex, which is attributed to especial effectively in transferring energy from the average triplet energy level of the ligands (T) onto the excited state (⁵D₄) of Tb (III) than that (⁵D₀) of Eu (III), showing a good antenna effect for Tb(III) luminescence. The phosphorescence spectra and the relationship between fluorescence lifetimes and fluorescence intensities were also discussed.

Regionalization of Plasma Membrane-Bound Flavoproteins of Cerebellar Granule Neurons in Culture by Fluorescence Energy Transfer Imaging

Flavoproteins are components of plasma membrane redox chains, which have been suggested to play major roles in neuronal activity and survival. We found that the red/orange autofluorescence of mature primary cultures of cerebellar granule neurons (8–9 days in vitro) was largely quenched by millimolar concentrations of dithionite added to the extracellular medium, and pointed out that nearly 50% of this autofluorescence was due to plasma membrane-bound flavoproteins. We report in this work that the lipophilic neuronal plasma membrane markers N-(3-triethylammoniumpropyl)-4-(4-(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)butadienyl)-pyridinium dibromide (RH-414) and N-(3-triethylammoniumpropyl)-4-(6-(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)hexatrienyl)pyridinium dibromide (FM4-64) can form fluorescence energy transfer donor–acceptor pairs with flavoproteins with calculated R ₀ values between 3.7 and 4.2 nm. The quantification of the efficiency of fluorescence energy transfer with different concentrations of acceptor dyes has been worked out with re-suspended neurons. Using quantitative images of the neurons in culture, acquired with a CCD camera attached to an epifluorescence microscope, regionalization of the plasma membrane-bound flavoproteins of cerebellar granule neurons has been achieved from the quenching by dithionite of the fluorescence of the acceptor dye. The results unraveled that plasma membrane-bound flavoproteins are largely enriched in interneuronal contact sites forming clusters of 0.5–1 μm diameter size, which appears largely regionalized in the neuron's cell body.

Backward Charge Transfer in Conjugated Polymers

It has been known that the static polarizability of a polymer chain with a biexciton is negative. In order to understand this peculiar fact, this paper studies the dynamical process of the charge transfer in the polymer chain induced by an external electric field E during forming the biexciton. The time dependence of the charge distribution in the chain reveals that the charge transfer is backward: the positive charge shifts in the opposite direction of the external electric field. Such a backward charge transfer (BCT) produces an opposite dipole, which makes the polarization negative. The effect of electron interaction on the BCT is illustrated.
