Investigation of photo-induced electron transfer between amino-functionalized graphene quantum dots and selenium nanoparticle and it's application for sensitive fluorescent detection of copper ions
摘要： Copper ions play an essential role in some biological processes. Currently, there is a need for the development of convenient and reliable analytical methods for the Cu2+ measurement. In the present work, a sensitive fluorescence method was developed for the determination of copper ions. Amino-functionalized graphene quantum dots (af-GQDs) and selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) were synthetized, respectively, and they were characterized via transmission electron microscope, infrared spectrum analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectrum measurement. Photo-induced electron transfer (PET) between the prepared two nanomaterials could effectively quench the fluorescence of af-GQDs. Cu(II) was reduced to Cu(I) in the presence ascorbic acid and Cu2Se was finally generated on Se NPs surface, which led to the declined PET efficiency and inhibited the fluorescence quenching of af-GQDs. The change in fluorescence intensity was linearly correlated to the logarithm of the Cu2+ concentration from 1 nM to 10 μM, with a detection limit of 0.4 nM under the optimal conditions. The detections of copper ions in water samples were realized via standard addition method and the recovery values varied from 98.7% to 103%. The proposed fluorescence method was also employed to analyze the uptake of Cu2+ into human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells and cisplatin-resistant HeLa cells (HeLa/DDP cells). The experimental results indicate that the decreased hCTR1 expression level in HeLa/DDP cells weakened the uptake of copper ions into these drug-resistant tumor cells.

A Novel Rare Earth Ion Fluorescent Probe towards the Trace Detection of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene Based on Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer
摘要： This paper reports a resonance energy transfer-fluorescence quenching of the core-shell structure of CaMoO4:Tb3+@SiO2 modified by amino group on the surface for the ultrasensitive and ultratrace detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in solution environments. Organic amine was covalently modified onto the surface of silica shell to form a hybrid monolayer of amino group. The particle can specifically bind TNT species by the charge-transfer complexing or acid-base pairing interactions between electron-rich amine ligands and electron-deficient aromatic rings. The resultant TNT-amine complexes bound at the silica surface can strongly suppress the fluorescence emission of the chosen dye by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from CaMoO4:Tb3+ fluorescence donor to the irradiative TNT-amine acceptor through intermolecular polar-polar interactions at spatial proximity. The nanoparticle can sensitively detect down to 1 nM TNT with the use of only 10 μL of solution (2 pg TNT). The simple FRET-based nanoparticle sensors reported here exhibit a high and stable fluorescence brightness, strong analyte affinity and good assembly flexibility and can thus find many applications in the detection of ultratrace analytes.

Photoacoustic and fluorescent effects in multilayer plasmon-dye interfaces
摘要： Progress in understanding the cell biology and progression of disease depends on advanced imaging and labeling techniques. Here, we address this demand by exploring novel multilayered nanocomposites (MNCs) with plasmonic nanoparticles and adsorbing dyes in thin nonabsorbing shells as supercontrast multimodal photoacoustic (PA) and fluorescent agents in the near-infrared range. The proof of concept was performed with gold nanorods (GNRs) and indocyanine green (ICG) dispersed in a matrix of biodegradable polymers. We demonstrated synergetic PA effects in MNCs with the gold–ICG interface that could not be achieved with ICG and GNRs alone. We also observed ultrasharp PA and emission peaks that could be associated with nonlinear PA and spaser effects, respectively. Low-toxicity multimodal MNCs with unique plasmonic, thermal, and acoustic properties have the potential to make a breakthrough in PA flow cytometry and near-infrared spasers in vivo by using the synergetic interaction of plasmonic modes with a nearby absorbing medium.

Quenched Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (qSTORM) with Graphene Oxide
摘要： Quenched Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (qSTORM) was demonstrated with graphene oxide sheets, peptides and bacteria; a method of contrast enhancement with super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. Individual sheets of graphene oxide (GO) were imaged with a resolution of 16 nm using the quenching of fluorescence emission by GO via its large Resonant Energy Transfer (RET) efficiency. The method was then extended to image self-assembled peptide aggregates (resolution 19 nm) and live bacterial cells (resolution 55 nm, the capsular structure of E. coli from urinary tract infections) with extremely low backgrounds and high contrasts (between one and two orders of magnitude contrast factor improvements that depended on the thickness of the graphene oxide layer used). Graphene oxide films combined with STORM imaging thus provide an extremely convenient method to image samples with large backgrounds due to non-specifically bound fluorophores (either due to excess labelling or autofluorescent molecules), which is a common occurrence in studies of both biological cells and soft-condensed matter. The GO quenches the fluorescence across a thin layer at distances of less than 15 nm. Graphene oxide films coated with thin layers (≤15 nm) of polystyrene, polymethylmethacrylate and polylysine are shown to be effective in producing high contrast qSTORM images, providing a convenient modulation of sample/substrate interactions. The GO coatings can also provide an increased image resolution and a factor of 2.3 improvement was observed with the peptide fibres using a feature of interest metric,when there was a large non-specifically bound background.

摘要： In this short review, the main challenges in the use of hydrophobic nanoparticles in biomedical application are addressed. It is shown how to overcome the different issues by the use of a polymeric encapsulation system, based on an amphiphilic polyisoprene-block-poly(ethylene glycol) diblock copolymer. On the basis of this simple molecule, the development of a versatile and powerful phase transfer strategy is summarized, focusing on the main advantages like the adjustable size, the retained properties, the excellent shielding and the diverse functionalization properties of the encapsulated nanoparticles. Finally, the extraordinary properties of these encapsulated nanoparticles in terms of toxicity and specificity in a broad in vitro test is demonstrated.

A Spectroscopic Study of the Interaction between Cyanine Dyes with Different Skeleton Structures and Transferrin
摘要： Human serum transferrin (hTf) has been exploited as a bio-carrier for targeted drugs to cancer cells where transferrin receptors are expressed at high levels. In this study, cyanine dyes DMSA and DMSB with a similar main core structure were selected to evaluate the effects of heterocycle on binding with hTf by spectroscopic methods. Fluorescence spectral results have shown that DMSB, which contains a selenazole ring, had a strong affinity binding with transferrin, up to 104-fold higher than DMSA, which contains a thiazole ring. This difference may be attributed to the larger molecular volume of selenazole compared with DMSA. Binding distance between cyanine dyes and hTf demonstrated that the non-radioactive energy transfer mechanism was also involved in the fluorescence quenching of protein. Furthermore, DMSB-binding gave rise to a greater decrease of the α-helix content of hTf than DMSA suggesting that hTf, which shows a looser structure binding with DMSB, increased polarity around the tryptophan residues of hTf, which was confirmed by circular dichroism and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. The study provides a certain theoretical basis for the design of cyanine dyes as biomolecular probe to target drugs for hTf.

Probing the Aggregation and Signaling Behavior of Some Twisted 9,9′-Bianthryl Derivatives: Observation of Aggregation-Induced Blue-Shifted Emission
摘要： With an aim to understand the photophysical behavior of twisted organic fluorescent molecules in their aggregated state, two twisted biaryl molecules, namely, 9,9′-bianthryl and 10,10′-dicyano-9,9′-bianthryl, have been synthesized and characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods. To understand the role of C?C bond twisting on the photophysical response of biaryl aggregates, monoaryl counterparts (anthracene and 9-anthracenecarbonitrile) of the biaryl systems are also investigated. Photophysical behaviors of these systems along with their monoaryl counterpart are investigated in both solution and aggregated state. Investigations reveal that fluorescence spectra of the biaryl compounds show blue-shifted emission upon aggregation. Interestingly, no blue shift of the emission has been observed for monoaryl aggregates. Photophysical data of biaryl systems compared to monoaryl unit reveal that change in geometry, during self-assembly process, disfavors the formation of charge-transfer state, which eventually causes blue shift in the emission upon aggregation. In addition to this, potential of these systems toward signaling of nitroaromatic explosive has also been explored. Among all of the nitroaromatics, the highest fluorescence quenching is observed for nitrophenols (say picric acid (PA)). The investigation also reveals that compared to monoaryl systems, biaryl systems are more responsive to fluorescence quenching by nitroaromatics. Perrin’s model of quenching sphere action has been attributed to nitrophenol (PA) selective signaling behavior of biaryl systems.

An alternative method for correcting fluorescence quenching
摘要： Under high light intensity, phytoplankton protect from bleaching through non-photochemical quenching processes. The consequence of this is suppression of fluorescence emission, which must be corrected when measuring in situ yield with fluorometers. We present data from the Southern Ocean, collected over five austral summers by 19 southern elephant seals tagged with fluorometers. Conventionally, fluorescence data collected during the day (quenched) were corrected using the limit of the mixed layer, assuming that phytoplankton are uniformly mixed from the surface to this depth. However, distinct deep fluorescence maxima were measured in approximately 30 % of the night (unquenched) data. To account for the evidence that chlorophyll is not uniformly mixed in the upper layer, we propose correcting from the limit of the euphotic zone, defined as the depth at which photosynthetically available radiation is ～ 1 % of the surface value. Mixed layer depth exceeded euphotic depth over 80 % of the time. Under these conditions, quenching was corrected from the depth of the remotely derived euphotic zone Zeu, and compared with fluorescence corrected from the depth of the density-derived mixed layer. Deep fluorescence maxima were evident in only 10 % of the day data when correcting from mixed layer depth. This was doubled to 21 % when correcting from Zeu, more closely matching the unquenched (night) data. Furthermore, correcting from Zeu served to conserve non-uniform chlorophyll features found between the 1 % light level and mixed layer depth.
