Measurements of the stabilities of isolated retinal chromophores.

چکیده
The barrier energies for isomerization and fragmentation were measured for a series of retinal chromophore derivatives using a tandem ion mobility spectrometry approach. These measurements allow us to quantify the effect of charge delocalization on the rigidity of chromophores. We find that the role of the methyl group on the C13 position is pivotal regarding the ground state dynamics of the chromophore. Additionally, a correlation between quasi-equilibrium isomer distribution and fragmentation pathways is observed.

Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were employed to investigate the structural characteristics, electronic properties, and nonlinear optical properties of Benzyne-Based Chromophores at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. The effects on the hyperpolarizabilities of various donor and acceptor substituent (H, F, Cl, Br, Me, NH2, OH, NH3+, COOH, CHO, CN, NO,NO2 ) were studied. The results reveale...
متن کاملMorphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells after transplantation of stem cells into subretinal space
Introduction: Degenerative retinal diseases are main cause of irreversible blindness. Stem cells therapy is a promising way in these diseases. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells because of its safety can produce degenerated cells and can play important role in treatment. The aim of this study was to examine morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Voltage Stability Index based on Vector Analysis Method and Measurements of Active and Reactive Powers of Power System
This paper proposes a new voltage stability assessment method based on vector analysis method. This index extraction process relies on measurements of active and reactive powers from connected buses to the generator buses. Therefore, a limit for beginning of voltage collapse is determined based on the maximum power transfer theory. On the other hand, when the system requires load shedding, a ne...
متن کاملAbsolute configurational determination of an all-trans-retinal dimer isolated from photoreceptor outer segments.
An all-trans-retinal (ATR) dimer (1) isolated from photoreceptor outer segments was found to have a stereogenic center at C13' flanked by tetraene (295 nm) and hexaenal (438 nm) chromophores. Analytical chiral HPLC (Chiralcel OD) revealed that the isolated retinoid had formed in 13% enantiomeric excess. Using a combination of (1)H-(1)H NOESY constraints, molecular modeling, and CD exciton coupl...
