Endogenous reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) fluorescence provides an intrinsic indicator of the cellular metabolic state, but prolonged monitoring is limited by photobleaching and/or phototoxicity. Multiphoton excitation of NADH by ultrashort, 740-nm laser pulses provides a significant improvement over UV excitation by eliminating peripheral photobleaching; however, molecules within the subfemtoliter excitation volume remain susceptible. We have investigated the photophysical mechanisms responsible for multiphoton photobleaching of NADH in living cells to permit the imaging technique to be optimized. The loss of fluorescence because of multiphoton photobleaching was measured by repetitively imaging individual planes within rat basophilic leukemia cells. The photobleaching rate was proportional to the fourth power of the laser intensity. Based on these measurements, we propose a double-biphotonic, four-photon photobleaching mechanism and estimate the quantum yield of photobleaching of intracellular NADH to be 0.0073 +/- 0.0002 by this mechanism. In addition to photobleaching, the development of bright, punctate fluorescent lesions can also be observed. The frequency of lesion formation also increased approximately as the fourth power of the laser intensity after an intensity-dependent threshold number of images had been exceeded. The consequences for two-photon metabolic imaging are discussed. 相似文献

The structure and properties of oligonucleotide conjugates possessing stilbenedicarboxamide chromophores at both ends of a poly(dA):poly(dT) base-pair domain of variable length have been investigated using a combination of spectroscopic and computational methods. These conjugates form capped hairpin structures in which one stilbene serves as a hairpin linker and the other as a hydrophobic end-cap. The capping stilbene stabilizes the hairpin structures by ca. 2 kcal/mol, making possible the formation of a stable folded structure containing a single A:T base pair. Exciton coupling between the stilbene chromophores has little effect on the absorption bands of capped hairpins. However, exciton-coupled circular dichroism (EC-CD) can be observed for capped hairpins possessing as many as 11 base pairs. Both the sign and intensity of the EC-CD spectrum are sensitive to the number of base pairs separating the stilbene chromophores, as a consequence of the distance and angular dependence of exciton coupling. Calculated spectra obtained using a static vector model based on canonical B-DNA are in good agreement with the experimental spectra. Molecular dynamics simulations show that conformational fluctuations of the capped hairpins result in large deviations of the averaged spectra in both the positive and negative directions. These results demonstrate for the first time the ability of B-DNA to serve as a helical ruler for the study of electronic interactions between aligned chromophores. Furthermore, they provide important tests for atomistic theoretical models of DNA. 相似文献

Recently synthesized zinc helicenocyanine (ZnHc), where four helicene groups are fused with a phthalocyanine (Pc) core through all-carbon linkages, exhibits an unusually strong tendency of forming soluble molecular aggregates in organic solvents. The aggregation results in a strong optical absorption across most of the visible region, which is drastically different from that of its monomer. The aggregation is suppressed by dissolving ZnHc in a liquid crystal, octylbiphenylcarbonitrile (OBCN), where the monomer ZnHc dominates and exhibits a typical optical absorption spectrum of monomeric zinc phthalocyanine, except red shift in both Q- and B- bands due to pi-conjugation expansion. This study correlates optical properties and excited state dynamics of ZnHc with intra- and intermolecular electronic interactions, using quantum mechanical calculations and ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy. Structural details of the aggregates are revealed by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to be uniformly dimers with alkoxy chains wrapped around the core of a face-to-face dimer. The results suggest that while the peripheral helicene moieties in ZnHc are electronically coupled to the Pc core via expansion of the pi-conjugation of the macrocycle, the coupling is attenuated by the "lock washer" conformation of the nonplanar peripheral helicenes which prevents pi-conjugation throughout the entire macrocycle. The interplay between pi-conjugation expansion in the macrocyle plane and the pi-pi stacking out of the macrocyle plane produces a structure that facilitates the unique optical properties and self-regulated assembly into nanoscale structures in solution. These novel optical properties are explored for potential applications in various areas. 相似文献

Optical super‐resolution techniques allow fluorescence imaging below the classical diffraction limit of light. From a technology standpoint, recent methods are approaching molecular‐scale spatial resolution. However, this remarkable achievement is not easily translated to imaging of cellular components, since current labeling approaches are limited by either large label sizes (antibodies) or the sparse availability of small and efficient binders (nanobodies, aptamers, genetically‐encoded tags). In this work, we combined recently developed Affimer reagents with site‐specific DNA modification for high‐efficiency labeling and imaging using DNA‐PAINT. We assayed our approach using an actin Affimer. The small DNA‐conjugated affinity binders could provide a solution for efficient multitarget super‐resolution imaging in the future. 相似文献

Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis was applied for structural characterization of the cobalt oxide water-splitting catalyst films using high energy X-ray scattering. The catalyst was found to be composed of domains consistent with a cobalt dioxide lattice sheet structure, possibly containing a Co(4)O(4) cubane-type "defect". The analysis identifies the film to consist of domains composed of 13-14 cobalt atoms with distorted coordination geometries that can be modeled by alteration in terminal oxygen atom positions at the domain edge. Phosphate is seen as a disordered component in the films. This work establishes an approach that can be applied to study the structure of in situ cobalt oxide water-splitting film under functional catalytic conditions. 相似文献

Hydrothermal synthesis of Mn doped anatase (TiO2) nanoparticles using scrolled nanotubes of TiO2 and MnCl2 as the starting materials is described. Incorporation of Mn2+ ions on the substitutional sites was confirmed using X-ray absorption fine structure (FT-XAFS) while the oxidation state Mn(II) and coordination environment were determined using both electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). Two different hyperfine couplings of 96 and 86 G were found using high-field (130 GHz) EPR reporting that Mn atoms occupy two distinct sites: one undercoordinated (reconstructed surface) and the other octahedral crystalline geometry (nanoparticle core), respectively. It was found that Mn atoms that occupy surface layers are weakly bound to the anatase lattice and can be easily leached using simple dialysis, while those incorporated in the nanoparticle core are bound more strongly and cannot be removed by dialysis. Light excitation EPR reveals that Mn ions incorporated in the surface layers participate in the charge separation, while those trapped deeply in the nanoparticle core do not show any photoactivity. Doping of the core of nanoparticles with Mn2+ ions, on the other hand, enables synthesis of optically transparent films having superparamagnetic behavior at room temperatures with a saturation magnetic moment of 1.23 microB per Mn atom. 相似文献

Optimum energy resolution is being pursued in the study of the alpha particle decay spectroscopy of selected 1p-shell nuclei. Counter telescopes with two dimensional position sensitivity are used in coincidence to identify three and four-body final state reactions which proceed by sequential binary decay. Heavy ion beams at bombarding energies of 3 to 8 MeV/u from the Florida State Tandem/LINAC Accelerator Laboratory are used to initiate the reactions. Measured position and energy resolutions of the order of 1/2 % are used to provide excited state resolutions of ≈10 keV within a few hundred keV of the alpha-particle decay thresholds. 相似文献
