PicoGreen: a better amyloid probe than Thioflavin-T.
PicoGreen, a cyanine based ultrafast molecular rotor, shows high affinity towards amyloid fibrils and scores a much better sensitivity than Thioflavin-T, a gold standard probe for amyloid fibrils. Detailed spectroscopic and molecular docking studies have been performed to understand the mode of interaction between PicoGreen and amyloid fibrils.
متن کاملEnzyme Activity in the Crowded Milieu
The cytosol of a cell is a concentrated milieu of a variety of different molecules, including small molecules (salts and metabolites) and macromolecules such as nucleic acids, polysaccharides, proteins and large macromolecular complexes. Macromolecular crowding in the cytosolic environment is proposed to influence various properties of proteins, including substrate binding affinity and enzymati...
متن کاملSyntheses and photophysical properties of 5'-6-locked fluorescent nucleosides.
Nine fluorescent 5'-6-locked nucleosides were synthesized by condensation of various 1,2-diketones with 5-amino-2'-deoxycytidine. The nucleosides have different substituents on the pyrazine core structure, ranging from two methyl groups to polyaromatic rings. The photophysical properties of each nucleoside were determined, with the nucleosides displaying diverse absorption and emission maxima, ...
متن کاملProtein-induced photophysical changes to the amyloid indicator dye thioflavin T.
The small molecule thioflavin T (ThT) is a defining probe for the identification and mechanistic study of amyloid fiber formation. As such, ThT is fundamental to investigations of serious diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson disease, and type II diabetes. For each disease, a different protein undergoes conformational conversion to a β-sheet rich fiber. The fluorescence of ThT exhibit...
متن کاملStructure and Conformational Properties of d-Glucose/d-Galactose-Binding Protein in Crowded Milieu.
Conformational changes of d-glucose/d-galactose-binding protein (GGBP) were studied under molecular crowding conditions modeled by concentrated solutions of polyethylene glycols (PEG-12000, PEG-4000, and PEG-600), Ficoll-70, and Dextran-70, addition of which induced noticeable structural changes in the GGBP molecule. All PEGs promoted compaction of GGBP and lead to the increase in ordering of i...
