This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes an in-depth study of an indolizine-based fluorophore, from understanding of its structure-photophysical property relationship to its application as a useful biological reporter. Organic fluorophores have been extensively used in the field of molecular biology owing to their excellent photophysical property, suitable cell permeability, and synthetic flexibility. Understanding of the structure-photophysical property relationship of a given fluorophore often paves the road to the development of valuable molecular probes to visualize and transcribe biological networks. In this thesis, respective chapters deal with molecular design, organic synthesis, structure-property analysis, and quantum-mechanical interpretation of unexplored family of indolizine-based molecules. This systematic exploration has led to rational development of a new microalgae lipid droplet probe, colorful bioorthogonal fluorogenic probes, and a bright mitochondrial probe, working under live cell conditions. Harnessing the optical properties of a given fluorophore has been an important topic for a couple of decades, both in industry and in academia. This thesis provides useful insights for the improvement and development of unique small fluorescent materials, or optical materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : My thesis is focused on the development of fluorescent probes for biosensing and bioimaging within specific organelles. My main research efforts are mainly focused on the design, synthesis and biological applications of these new molecular probes. These new fluorescent probes I developed can be manipulated through the chemical modifications for binding to specific organelles capable of reporting localized bioinformation. Compared to the currently commercially available organelle-specific fluorescent stains, the advantages of the newly synthesized fluorescent probes include low cytotoxicity, high photostability, and long fluorescence lifetimes. These features are crucial for long-time tracking study of biological processes. Research on fluorescent probes with both analyte responsiveness and organelle targetability is a new and emerging area that has attracted increasing attention over the past few years. Because of their high sensitivity, specificity and fast response, these novel fluorescent probes have been proven to be useful tools for facilitating biomedical research. I have further extended the diversity by developing organelle-specific responsive probes capable of detecting changes in biomolecular levels and the microenvironment. My future research efforts give more considerations of the "low-concern" organelles, such as the Golgi apparatus, the endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes. Considering the tiny sizes of subcellular organelles, we anticipate that better visualization of the cellular events within specific organelles will rely on super-resolution optical microscopy with nanoscopic-scale resolution.

This book was released on 2008-02-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluorescent nucleic acid probes, which use energy transfer, include such constructs as molecular beacons, molecular break lights, Scorpion primers, TaqMan probes, and others. These probes signal detection of their targets by changing either the intensity or the color of their fluorescence. Not surpr- ingly, these luminous, multicolored probes carry more flashy names than their counterparts in the other fields of molecular biology. In recent years, fluor- cent probes and assays, which make use of energy transfer, have multiplied at a high rate and have found numerous applications. However, in spite of this explosive growth in the field, there are no manuals summarizing different p- tocols and fluorescent probe designs. In view of this, the main objective of Fluorescent Energy Transfer Nucleic Acid Probes: Designs and Protocols is to provide such a collection. Oligonucleotides with one or several chromophore tags can form fluor- cent probes capable of energy transfer. Energy transport within the probe can occur via the resonance energy transfer mechanism, also called Förster tra- fer, or by non-Förster transfer mechanisms. Although the probes using Förster transfer were developed and used first, the later non-Förster-based probes, such as molecular beacons, now represent an attractive and widely used option. The term “fluorescent energy transfer probes” in the title of this book covers both Förster-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) probes and probes using non-FRET mechanisms. Energy transfer probes serve as molecule-size sensors, changing their fluorescence upon detection of various DNA reactions.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 3 of this dissertation explores a hypothesis that leverages the seesaw photophysical model for N-aryl (2,3- and 1,8-) naphthalimides. The Heagy group initially developed this model to understand the dual fluorescence effect concerning the electron donor or electron-withdrawing substituents. This study envisions the design and synthesis of novel dual fluorescence molecules for a new class of N-aryl-phenanthridinone dyes. The applied photophysical model further investigates these dyes with a substitution pattern opposite naphthalimide systems. Interestingly, predictive computational modeling shows that the substituent pattern, used previously for 2,3-naphthalimides, relies on these groups getting placed on rings in opposite positions for N-aryl-phenanthridinones. Chapter 4, provides an overall conclusion of the and future directions for both parts of the research. In chapter 5, a complete description of experimental data is provided for the characterization of all the dye systems presented. This data includes a detailed synthesis procedure, characterization, purity analysis by HPLC, absorptivity calculation, fluorescence lifetime measurements, quantum yield determination, biological evaluation and fluorescence titration.

This book was released on 2007-05-24 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, fluorescence has become the dominant tool in biotechnology and medical imaging. These exciting advances have been underpinned by the advances in time-resolved techniques and instrumentation, probe design, chemical / biochemical sensing, coupled with our furthered knowledge in biology. Complementary volumes 9 and 10, Advanced Concepts of Fluorescence Sensing: Small Molecule Sensing and Advanced Concepts of Fluorescence Sensing: Macromolecular Sensing, aim to summarize the current state of the art in fluorescent sensing. For this reason, Drs. Geddes and Lakowicz have invited chapters, encompassing a broad range of fluorescence sensing techniques. Some chapters deal with small molecule sensors, such as for anions, cations, and CO2, while others summarize recent advances in protein-based and macromolecular sensors. The Editors have, however, not included DNA or RNA based sensing in this volume, as this were reviewed in Volume 7 and is to be the subject of a more detailed volume in the near future.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visualizing proteins in living cells without perturbing biological function remains a key challenge in chemical biology. A chemical approach to this problem is the synthesis of small molecule fluorophores that react specifically with a protein of interest (POI). We have developed a site-specific labelling method based on a Fluorogenic Addition Reaction (FlARe). The FlARe probe's fluorescence is quenched until it undergoes thiol addition with a small, genetically encoded dicysteine peptide tag fused to the POI. Recent blue coumarin probes were shown to be highly selective for target proteins over other cellular thiols; however, fluorogens that can label in the red and green channels of the fluorescence microscope are more desirable for cellular imaging, as red light is lower in energy and therefore less photo-toxic. In the work presented herein, we use DFT calculations to guide the design of red-shifted, PeT-quenched BODIPY based dimaleimide fluorogens. Driven by the preliminary results of a FlARe probe (YC29) that emitted in the red channel, we attempted to prepare the hit compound through a new synthetic approach to further evaluate kinetics and in cellulo labelling. Given the time available, this compound was unable to be synthesized through an SNAr or Pd-catalyzed approach. Alternatives probes lacking the red-shifting substituent were synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in cellulo. The fluorescent enhancement and reaction kinetics of these probes were evaluated in detail, in order to determine the suitability of their application to cellular labelling. A green-BODIPY fluorogen was synthesized that exhibits suitable kinetics for labelling and a dramatic fluorescent enhancement of 8̃00-fold upon tagging. This probe was successfully applied to the specific, fluorescent labelling of a nuclear histone protein in cellulo.

Book excerpt: Carbohydrate and protein interactions are key for many biological processes, such as viral and bacterial infections, cell recognition and adhesion, and immune response. Among several analytical techniques aimed to study these interactions, electrochemical biosensing is more efficient due to its low cost, ease of operation, and possibility for miniaturization. During my Ph.D., I synthesized mannose bearing aniline molecule which is successfully tested as electrochemical bio sensor. A Ferrocene-mannose conjugate with an anchoring group is synthesized, which can be used as a potential electrochemical biosensor.

Download or read book Sequence specific Reactivity of Short Peptides written by Gary Lee Juskowiak (II.) and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation covers the development of combinatorial peptide library methodology to screen for short peptides with enhanced and sequence-specific reactivity; the design, synthesis, and screening of small molecule fluorescent probes for short peptide tags; and the identification of peptides with enhanced and sequence-specific reactivity. Chapter 1 covers short peptides identified from a one-bead one-compound (OBOC) library that become fluorescent under photooxidative conditions. Only one peptide (AKPWGGDA) reproduced its fluorogenic reactivity in solution phase and the fluorescent photoproduct of this peptide was identified as a 4-aminoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid, which was presumably derived from tryptophan. Chapter 2 reviews the literature on peptide tags used for fluorescently labeling proteins in living cells with a specific emphasis on the biarsenical tetracysteine system. Chapter 3 reviews the literature on the sequence-specific structure and reactivity of short peptides. It also presents elements that may be applicable to enhanced and sequence-specific reactivity between short peptide tags and small molecule probes. Chapter 4 covers OBOC and SPOT peptide library methodology developed in order to screen for the sequence-specific reactivity of short peptides with small molecule fluorescent probes. These methodological advancements were primarily in the synthesis, screening, and tandem mass spectrometry sequencing of OBOC peptide libraries, and, in particular, cysteine-rich OBOC libraries. Chapter 5 covers the design, synthesis, and screening of small molecule fluorescent probes that contained the dansyl fluorophore and esters that target lysine residues in short peptide tags. Short peptides were discovered that exhibited enhanced and sequence-specific reactivity with these fluorescent probes, and, in particular, with a tetrahydroisoquinoline N-hydroxysuccinimide ester probe in an OBOC library, in a SPOT library, and in solution phase. However, the sequence-specific reactivity of the short peptide tags is reduced outside of the bead environment. Chapter 6 covers the design, synthesis, and screening of small molecule fluorogenic probes. These fluorogenic probes consisted of FlAsH, amino coumarin alkyl esters, and benzoyl quinoline carboxyaldehydes. Short peptides were discovered that exhibited enhanced and sequence-specific reactivity for FlAsH and the amino coumarin alkyl ester probes.
