Near infrared fluorescence quenching properties of copper (II) ions for potential applications in biological imaging

چکیده
Fluorescence quenching properties of copper(II) ions have been used for designing Cu(II) sensitive fluorescent molecular probes. In this paper, we demonstrate that static quenching plays a key role in free Cu(II)-mediated fluorescence quenching of a near infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye cypate. The Stern-Volmer quenching constant was calculated to be KSV = 970,000 M in 25 mM MES buffer, pH 6.5 at room temperature. We synthesized LS835, a compound containing cypate attached covalently to chelated Cu(II) to study fluorescence quenching by chelated Cu(II). The fluorescence quenching mechanism of chelated Cu(II) is predominantly dynamic or collisional quenching. The quenching efficiency of chelated Cu(II) was calculated to be 58% ± 6% in dimethylsulfoxide at room temperature. Future work will involve further characterization of the mechanism of NIR fluorescence quenching by Cu(II) and testing its reversibility for potential applications in designing fluorophore-quencher based molecular probes for biological imaging.

Preparation of Nanochitosan as an Effective Sorbent for the Removal of Copper Ions from Aqueous Solutions
The most important pollutants in wastewater are heavy metal ions. In this paper, the effects of various parameters such as pH, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature on the adsorption of Cu (II) by nanochitosan (NCS) was investigated in batch experiment. Nanochitosan was prepared based on ionic gelation and characterized by means of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR),...
متن کاملInhibition of oxygen evolution in Photosystem II by Cu(II) ions is associated with oxidation of cytochrome b559.
We have found that elevated copper concentrations, apart from the inhibition of oxygen evolution, changed the initial states distribution of the oxygen-evolving complex. Already at low concentrations, copper ions oxidized the low-potential form of cytochrome b (559) and also its high-potential form at higher concentrations at which fluorescence quenching was observed. We suggest that the primar...
متن کاملA near-infrared fluorescent probe for detecting copper(II) with high selectivity and sensitivity and its biological imaging applications.
The first near-infrared fluorescent probe was developed toward Cu(2+). Based on the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) mechanism, the probe exhibited weak fluorescence. Upon the addition of Cu(2+), it fluoresced strongly. The probe offered this unique capability, and was successfully applied to living cells, tissues and in vivo to visualize Cu(2+).

A Nanostructured Polyelectrolyte Sensing System Based on Quenching Analysis for Micromolar Metal Ions Detection
We designed and developed a novel heavy metal ion sensing device, based on quenching mechanism, exploiting the characteristics of a polyelectrolyte nanostructured system, named nanocapsule[1]. Nanocapsule allows to entrap fluorescent probes sensitive to a specific metal ion, localizing fluorescent signal in a nano-bordered site within the outermost layers and improving the signal to noise ratio...
