Determination of two-photon photoactivation rates of fluorescent proteins.
The application of two-photon activation of photoactivatable fluorescent proteins is limited by a lack of information about two-photon activation rates. Here we present rates for the commonly used photoactivatable proteins PAmCherry, PAmKate and PA-GFP at different wavelengths using a novel method that allows us to determine the two-photon activation rates directly, independent of any reference...
متن کاملTwo-photon directed evolution of green fluorescent proteins
Directed evolution has been used extensively to improve the properties of a variety of fluorescent proteins (FPs). Evolutionary strategies, however, have not yet been used to improve the two-photon absorption (2PA) properties of a fluorescent protein, properties that are important for two-photon imaging in living tissues, including the brain. Here we demonstrate a technique for quantitatively s...
متن کاملFluorescent two-photon nanolithography.
Improving the excitation conditions in two-photon fluorescent lithography reduces the size of the fabricated structures to nanometre scales. We demonstrate that a precise control of the illumination profile and the scanning speed of the laser beam is enough to decrease the photo-polymerization volume of resins by orders of magnitude. This work also shows experimental evidence of surface effects...
متن کاملTwo-photon absorption and nonlinear optical properties of octupolar molecules.
Two-photon absorption (TPA) cross sections of four representative series of octupolar molecules are theoretically investigated. The general structure--TPA-property relationship is described by using the effective four-state valence-bond three-charge-transfer model. As the charge-transfer character of the ground electronic state increases due to the strong donors or acceptors, (i) the transition...
متن کاملOrganic Nanomaterials with Two-Photon Absorption Properties for Biomedical Applications
During recent years there have been notorious advances in the development of organic molecules and π-conjugated polymers with two-photon activity, i.e., emission of fluorescence promoted by the molecular absorption of two photons. Novel organic materials have reached very large two-photon activity, and many of them have been processed successfully into nanostructured platforms. In contrast to t...
