Fluorescence quenching data interpretation in biological systems. The use of microscopic models for data analysis and interpretation of complex systems.
In micro-heterogeneous media (e.g. membranes, micelles and colloidal systems), the fluorescence decay in the absence of quencher is usually intrinsically complex, e.g. due to the existence of several sub-populations with different micro-environments. In this case it is impossible to analyze data in detail (accounting for transient effects) and simpler formalisms are needed. The objective of the...
متن کاملOn the quenching of the fluorescence yield in photosynthetic systems.
A modified matrix model describing transfer of excitation energy in the photosynthetic pigment system is discussed. In addition to the antenna pigments and reaction centers of the simple matrix model, a coupling complex is postulated mediating energy transfer between antenna and reaction centers. The values of the parameters describing the transfer properties of the coupling complex can be chos...
متن کاملCooperativity in biological systems
Living organisms can sense and respond to external and internal stimuli. Response isdemonstrated in many forms including modulation of gene expression profiles, motility,secretion, cell death, etc. Nevertheless, all forms share a basic property: they depend on sensingsmall changes in the concentration of an effector molecule or subtle conformational changes ina protein and invoking the appropri...
متن کاملChlorophyll fluorescence quenching by xanthophylls
The interactions of the xanthophylls zeaxanthin, antheraxanthin and violaxanthin with chlorophyll, which are relevant for the chlorophyll fluorescence quenching in the non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) process in green plants, are investigated by means of quantum chemical methods. In particular, we use a hybrid approach consisting of time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) and configur...
متن کاملFluorescence quenching in a perylenetetracarboxylic diimide trimer.
A perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) trimer (3) linked by a triazine ring has been prepared. The UV-vis absorption spectra together with the (1)H NMR spectra revealed that two of the three PDI subunits in the trimer presents a face-to-face stacked configuration while the third one appended acts as a monomer. There is no strong interaction between the dimer and monomer at ground state. Howeve...
