Polymer microenvironmental effects on the photophysics of cinchonine dication

Photophysical properties of cinchonine dication (C⁺⁺) have been studied in protic and aprotic polymers by monitoring steady state and time resolved measurements. It is found to be sensitive towards the microenvironment of polymers. Edge excitation red shifted emission (EERS) is observed in all polymeric matrices. However, the magnitude of EERS is relatively high in protic as compared to aprotic polymer. Isobestic point in excitation spectra and three decay components in time resolved measurements indicate more than two trapped chemical species in the heterogeneous environment of the polymer. Solute-polymer interactions are found to produce the third decay channel, unlike in solution phase and may be useful to understand the polymer microenvironment.     

Structural Transition in the Micellar Assembly: A Fluorescence Study

Structural transition can be induced in charged micelles by increasing the ionic strength of the medium. Thus, spherical micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) that exist in water at concentrations higher than the critical micelle concentration assume an elongated rod-like structure in the presence of an increased electrolyte concentration. This is known as sphere-to-rod transition. In this paper, we characterize the change in organization and dynamics that is accompanied by the salt-induced sphere-to-rod transition in SDS micelles using wavelength-selective fluorescence and other steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence parameters. Since the change in micelle organization during such structural transition may not be limited to one region of the micelle, we have selectively introduced fluorophores in two distinct regions of the micelle. We used two probes, N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)-1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (NBD-PE) and 25-[N-[(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)-methyl]amino]-27-norcholesterol (NBD-cholesterol), for monitoring the two regions of the micelle. NBD-PE monitors the interfacial region of the micellar assembly, while NBD-cholesterol acts as a reporter for the deeper regions of the micellar interior. Our results show that wavelength-selective fluorescence, in combination with other fluorescence parameters, offers a powerful way to monitor structural transitions induced in charged micelles. These results could be significant to changes in membrane morphology observed under certain physiological conditions.     

Modulation of Fluorophore Environment in Host Membranes of Varying Charge

The net electrical charge of the biological membrane represents an important parameter in the organization, dynamics and function of the membrane. In this paper, we have characterized the change in the microenvironment experienced by a membrane-bound fluorescent probe when the charge of the phospholipids constituting the host membrane is changed from zwitterionic to cationic with minimal change in the chemical structure of the host lipid. In particular, we have explored the difference in the microenvironment experienced by the fluorescent probe 2-(9-anthroyloxy)stearic acid (2-AS) in model membranes of zwitterionic 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and cationic 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (EPOPC) which are otherwise chemically similar, using the wavelength-selective fluorescence approach and other fluorescence parameters. Our results show that the microenvironment experienced by a membrane probe such as 2-AS is different in POPC and EPOPC membranes, as reported by red edge excitation shift (REES) and other fluorescence parameters. The difference in environment encountered by the probe in the two cases could possibly be due to variation in hydration in the two membranes owing to different charges.

二(2-苯基-8-羟基喹啉)锌和喹啉锌的合成和荧光性质

合成了一种新型二(2-苯基-8-羟基喹啉)锌配合物。利用元素分析、红外吸收光谱等方法表征了结构,并对比研究了二(2-苯基-8-羟基喹啉)锌和喹啉锌的荧光性质,前者的激发光谱在465nm处出现了较强的吸收,并且发射峰位置发生了明显的红移,由喹啉锌的495nm移至2-苯基-8-羟基喹啉锌和喹啉锌的521nm处。对有关的吸收峰的归属进行了讨论,初步认为苯环的取代增加了有机配体π-π键的共轭程度,使HOMO-LUMO之间能隙变小,引起发射峰红移。

Fluorescence Characterization of the Hydrophobic Pocket of Cyclophilin B

Human cyclophilin B is a monomeric protein that contains two tryptophan residues, Trp104 and 128. Trp128-residue belongs to the binding site of cyclosporin A and is the homologous of Trp 121 in CyPA, while Trp104 residue belongs to the hydrophobic pocket. In the present work, we studied the dynamics of Trp residue(s) of cyclophilin B and of the CyPB_w128A mutant and of TNS-mutant complex. Our results showed that Trp-104 and TNS show restricted motions within their environments and that energy transfer between the two fluorophores is occurring.     

Spectroscopic studies on the interaction and sonodynamic damage of neutral red (NR) to bovine serum albumin (BSA)

In this paper, the interaction of neutral red (NR) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the sonodynamic damage to BSA under ultrasonic irradiation was studied by means of ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and fluorescence spectra. The quenching constant (K_SV=5.749×10⁴ L/mol), binding constant (K_A=3.19×10⁴ L/mol) and binding site number (n=0.9462) were measured. The binding distance (r=2.47 nm) between NR and BSA was obtained according to Föster’s non-radiative energy transfer theory. The damage process of BSA molecules was detected by the hyperchromic effect of UV-vis spectra and quenching of intrinsic fluorescence spectra. In addition, the influencing factors such as ultrasonic irradiation time and NR concentration on the damage to BSA molecules were also considered. The results showed that the damage degree is enhanced with the increase of ultrasonic irradiation time and NR concentration. The possible mechanism of sonodynamic damage to BSA molecules was mainly mediated by singlet oxygen (¹O₂). Otherwise, the binding and damaging sites to BSA molecules were also estimated by synchronous fluorescence. The results indicated that the NR is more vicinal to tryptophan (Trp) residue than to tyrosine (Tyr) residue and the damage site is also mainly at Trp residues. The research result will bring a certain significance to use sonosensitive drugs in the fields of tumor treatment.     

饱和激发下叶绿素荧光非线性变化及影响分析

叶绿素浓度是海洋初级生产力的重要指标之一,激光诱导荧光技术可以实现海水叶绿素浓度的快速测量。测量叶绿素浓度的传统激光诱导荧光原理,是利用叶绿素荧光与水体Raman散射的强度比值（I_F/R）进行反演,即叶绿素浓度n_chl＝CI_F/R,其中C为系统常量。这是依据叶绿素荧光685 nm、水体Raman散射强度都与激发光强呈线性关系。然而,该理论并没有考虑诱导荧光饱和现象的存在。当诱导激光强度达到一定程度后,685 nm荧光强度随激发光强非线性变化。另外,值得注意的是,水体Raman散射并不存在信号饱和现象。为了探讨饱和激发造成荧光非线性变化的影响,在激光诱导荧光技术测量叶绿素浓度的实验中,设计两种测量方案,即：不同激光功率诱导单一浓度样本的荧光测量,和固定激光功率时不同浓度样本的荧光测量。实验中利用Nd∶YAG三倍频激光355 nm激发获得叶绿素溶液的404 nm处 Raman散射和685 nm荧光。实验结果分为2部分进行讨论：（1）为了分析饱和激发造成荧光变化的非线性特性,通过调节激发光功率测量溶液的受激发射光谱,发现水体Raman散射强度与激发光强呈线性关系,而685 nm荧光强度出现饱和激发下的非线性变化。而且,随叶绿素浓度的增加,685 nm荧光的非线性趋势更为明显,Raman散射强度与激发光强的线性关系中斜率变小。数据分析表明,685 nm荧光数据拟合的4阶多项式和Raman散射效率值,可以定性地表征685 nm荧光的饱和程度。（2）考虑实际海洋激光雷达探测叶绿素浓度应用中存在饱和激发荧光非线性现象,为了分析荧光非线性对传统叶绿素浓度反演理论适用性的影响,在固定激发光强情况下对不同浓度叶绿素溶液的发射光谱进行测量。将激发光功率调节至52.00,80.70,132.10和197.30 mW·cm-2,获取相应激发光强下685 nm荧光与水体Raman散射的强度比值和叶绿素浓度之间的关系。实验表明,激发光强不变的情况下,685 nm荧光与水体Raman散射的强度比值,与叶绿素浓度仍满足线性关系。但是,在较高光强激发时,饱和激发造成的叶绿素荧光非线性变化,导致利用传统激光诱导荧光理论反演的叶绿素浓度值偏小。因此,需要对饱和激发下荧光非线性的影响进行修正,其关系为I_F/R=n_chl/C+C_F,修正值C_F不可忽略。另外,值得一提的是,修正关系中系统常量C随激发光强增加而增大。研究表明,饱和激发造成的荧光非线性,会对激光诱导荧光技术测量叶绿素浓度产生影响,但由于造成荧光非线性因素的复杂性,仅通过荧光数据拟合获得的多项式,无法定量说明其影响权重。然而,当激发光强不变时,可以实验测量获得基于激光诱导荧光原理的修正关系,从而准确反演叶绿素浓度。     

Solid-state NMR studies of some tin(II) compounds

High-resolution NMR spectra of [Formula: see text] nuclei, particularly (119)Sn and (31)P, in solid tin(II) phosphite, SnHPO(3), and tin(II) phosphate, SnHPO(4), are presented. The results are discussed in relation to the crystal structures. Spinning sideband analysis has been carried out for both nuclei, giving information on the shielding tensors. Satellite peaks allow the indirect Sn,Sn coupling constants to be determined. Surprisingly large values of 2600+/-200Hz and 4150+/-200Hz are reported for SnHPO(3) and SnHPO(4) respectively. The satellite peaks were investigated by using a single Hahn echo for each refocusing time, which showed that the observed splittings result from (119)Sn, (117)Sn coupling. For SnHPO(3), the calculated relative intensities of the satellites for six intra-layer coupling interactions are in agreement with the experiment values, but for SnHPO(4) the coupling appears to be inter-layer in nature. Tin-119 (and in one case phosphorus-31) shielding tensor data derived from MAS NMR are also reported for four other crystalline tin(II) compounds, namely tin diphosphate, tin oxalate, tin sulphate and calcium tin ethylenediamine tetraacetate.     

胶束中的若丹明6G荧光增强和激光行为

7-羟基喹啉在二甲基亚砜中的荧光光谱

7-羟基喹啉(7-HQ)是一种具有激发态质子转移(ESPT)效应的有机分子。它溶于乙醇溶剂中,在紫外光的激励下,将发生ESPT反应,荧光光谱出现2个荧光带。7-HQ溶于二甲基亚砜(DMS)溶剂中,则不能发生ESPT反应,其荧光光谱只出现单一荧光带。但样品被强紫外光照射后,其荧光光谱也出现2个荧光带。文章首次报道了这一现象,并通过对7-HQ的乙醇、二甲基亚砜和二甲基甲酰胺溶液的吸收光谱和荧光光谱的研究,探讨产生这一现象的机理。认为7-HQ溶于DMS中被强紫外光照射后荧光光谱的变化是由于DMS被光解并生成水而使7-HQ发生ESPT反应的结果。

Fluorescence anisotropy of cyanobacterial phycobilisomes oriented in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films

Polarized absorption (at 296 and 85 K), fluorescence, and photoacoustic (at 296 and 85 K) spectra of antenna complexes—phycobilisomes isolated from cyanobacteriaTolypothrix tenuis andOscillatoria and embedded in isotropic and anisotropic polyvinyl alcohol films—were measured. From the sets of polarized components of emission, the anisotropy of fluorescence for the pools of differently oriented molecules was calculated. On the basis of polarized photoacoustic and emission spectra, the competition between the process of thermal deactivation of excitation and excitation energy transfer in a chain of excitation donor and acceptor chromophores of phycobilisomes is discussed.

厦门湾溶解有机物的三维荧光光谱特征及其来源解析

利用三维荧光光谱-平行因子分析(EEM-PARAFAC)技术,研究了2009年春、秋季厦门湾有色溶解有机物(CDOM)的荧光组分特征,并利用主成分分析方法对影响该海域CDOM分布的主控因素及其相对贡献进行了解析。厦门湾CDOM中含有3个类腐殖质荧光组分(C1,C2和C5)及2个类蛋白质组分(C3和C4)。所有类腐殖质组分之间、以及所有类蛋白质组分之间均有很好的相关性,表明同一类型的荧光组分具有相似的来源属性及地球化学行为。类腐殖质组分的高值区分布在九龙江河口区上游,而类蛋白质组分的高值区则位于厦门西海域北部,低值区都位于东部的厦金海域。排污口附近的局部海域存在污染输入的贡献。对荧光组分进行的主成分分析结果显示,陆源径流输入是厦门湾水体中CDOM荧光组分的主要来源;海区现场生物活动的贡献不大。这表明对PARAFAC识别的荧光组分进行主成分分析,有助于实现对水环境中CDOM的不同来源及其相对贡献率的定量解析。     

Minimization of the pulse's timing jitter in a dispersion-compensated WDM system

We address the problem of the collision-induced crosstalk between pulses in a dispersion-compensated WDM system composed of a periodic array of cells that include two or three fiber segments. Both the cross- and self-phase-modulation nonlinearities are taken into account. A semi-analytical approximation and direct simulations are used to calculate the frequency shift (FS) of colliding pulses, and to search for conditions which provide for minima of the FS and the temporal shift (TS), including the most promising possibility of minimizing both shifts simultaneously. Semi-analytical results, obtained by means of the perturbation theory, are in qualitative agreement with the numerical findings, especially in regimes near the optimum. In searching for the FS and TS minima, we investigate the effect of changing the initial width and chirp of the pulse, position of the amplifier within the dispersion–compensation period, group-velocity difference between the channels, allocation of the group-velocity-dispersion (GVD) inside the cell, and the average GVD. We conclude that a more sophisticated dispersion–compensation map, with three different local values of GVD, may be significantly more efficient than the one based on two different segments. A global FS minimum, with respect to the variation of all the parameters, is found.
