The sphere-to-rod transition of squaraine-embedded micelles: a self-assembly platform displays a distinct response to cysteine and homocysteine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple self-assembly platform based on squaraine-embedded CTAB micelles can readily discriminate between Cys and Hcy with different absorption and fluorescence signals. The recognition mechanism is attributed to the fact that analyte adducts trigger the CTAB micelles to undergo sphere-to-rod transition.

Near-infrared fluorescent detection of glutathione via reaction-promoted assembly of squaraine-analyte adducts.
The first "off-on" dual-output fluorescent assay based on reaction-promoted self-assembly approach for glutathione recognition in near infrared region over other relative thiols including cysteine and homocysteine was constructed with high selectivity and large Stocks shift (about 220 nm). The fluorescence enhancement is attributed to the intermolecular interaction, which manipulates the squara...
متن کاملMolecular assembly of a squaraine dye with cationic surfactant and nucleotides: its impact on aggregation and fluorescence response.
A novel fluorescent system has been assembled by using ATP, surfactant, and a squaraine dye in an aqueous buffer solution. In the system, a cationic surfactant such as cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) forms a sphere-like micelle, whose positive charge at the surface of the micelle attracts the negatively charged ATP to form a unique organized nanostructure. Such an organized system is sh...
متن کاملEffect of structural transition of the host assembly on dynamics of a membrane-bound tryptophan analogue.
Tryptophan octyl ester (TOE) represents an important model for membrane-bound tryptophan residues. In this article, we have explored the effect of sphere-to-rod transition of sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles on the dynamics of the membrane-bound tryptophan analogue, TOE, utilizing a combination of fluorescence spectroscopic approaches which include red edge excitation shift (REES). Our results s...
متن کاملOn Modulating the Self-Assembly Behaviors of Poly(styrene-<italic>b</italic>-4-vinylpyridine)/Octyl Gallate Blends in Solution State via Hydrogen Bonding from Different Common Solvents
We have investigated the complexation-induced phase behavior of the mixtures of poly(styrene-b-4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) and octyl gallate (OG) due to hydrogen bonding in different solvents. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic result indicates that the hydrogen-bonding was formed between the P4VP blocks and OG in both THF and DMF, implying the P4VP blocks can bind to OG. For PS-b-P4...
متن کاملOrganization and dynamics in micellar structural transition monitored by pyrene fluorescence.
Structural transitions involving shape changes play an important role in cellular physiology. Such transition can be induced in charged micelles at a given temperature by increasing ionic strength of the medium. We have monitored the change in organization and dynamics associated with sphere-to-rod transition of SDS micelles utilizing pyrene fluorescence. We report here, utilizing changes in th...
