A ratiometric fluorescent probe for hydrophobic proteins in aqueous solution based on aggregation-induced emission.
A novel fluorescent probe 1 is reported here with ratiometric response to hydrophobic proteins (casein) or proteins with hydrophobic pockets (BSA, HSA) through hydrophobic interaction. Probe 1 underwent deprotonation in aqueous solution at pH 7.4 and emitted blue fluorescence at 436 nm. Upon the addition of BSA, HSA or casein, the aggregation-induced emission fluorescence of 1 at 518 nm was tur...
متن کاملOn the pearl size of hydrophobic polyelectrolytes
– Hydrophobic polyelectrolytes have been predicted to adopt an unique pearlnecklace conformation in aqueous solvents. We present in this Letter an attempt to characterise quantitatively this conformation with a focus on Dp, the pearl size. For this purpose polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) of various effective charge fractions feff and chain lengths N has been adsorbed onto oppositely charged surfaces...
متن کاملMeasuring pearl sizes of hydrophobic polyelectrolytes
– Hydrophobic polyelectrolytes have been predicted to adopt an unique pearlnecklace conformation in aqueous solvents. We present in this Letter the first experimental determination of the pearl size Dp and its dependence on the chain charge fraction. For this purpose polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) of various effective charge fractions feff and chain lengths N has been adsorbed onto oppositely charg...
متن کاملOn the effective charge of hydrophobic polyelectrolytes.
In this paper, we analyze the behavior of hydrophobic polyelectrolytes. It has been proposed that this system adopts a pearl necklace structure reminiscent of the Rayleigh instability of a charged droplet. Using a Poisson-Boltzmann approach, we calculate the counterion distribution around a given pearl, assuming the latter to be penetrable for the counterions. This allows us to calculate the ef...
متن کاملQuantifying the hydrophobic effect. 1. A computer simulation-molecular-thermodynamic model for the self-assembly of hydrophobic and amphiphilic solutes in aqueous solution.
Surfactant micellization and micellar solubilization in aqueous solution can be modeled using a molecular-thermodynamic (MT) theoretical approach; however, the implementation of MT theory requires an accurate identification of the portions of solutes (surfactants and solubilizates) that are hydrated and unhydrated in the micellar state. For simple solutes, such identification is comparatively s...
