Fluorescence energy transfer efficiency in labeled yeast cytochrome c: a rapid screen for ion biocompatibility in aqueous ionic liquids.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fluorescence energy transfer "de-quenching" assay was implemented to follow the equilibrium unfolding behaviour of site-specific tetramethylrhodamine-labelled yeast cytochrome c in aqueous ionic liquid solutions; additionally, this approach offers the prospect of naked eye screening for biocompatible ion combinations in hydrated ionic liquids.

Mapping of yeast cytochrome c oxidase by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Distances between subunit II, heme a, and cytochrome c bound to subunit III.
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer was used for measuring the distances between the following three sites of purified yeast cytochrome c oxidase: (a) a highly reactive sulfhydryl group on the mitochondrially made Subunit II; (b) endogenous heme a; (c) cytochrome c bound to the mitochondrially made Subunit III. Subunit II of purified cytochrome c oxidase was stoichiometrically and covalently...
متن کاملTolerance of Immobilized Yeast Cells in Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids
Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered as another ’green solvent’, after the supercritical carbon dioxide. They are a promising reaction medium for biocatalysis process. The tolerance of active cells in hydrophobic imidazolium-based ILs (1-R-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [RMim][PF6]) has been studied in this work. Calcium-alginate-entrapped baker’s yeast has been chosen as the model of l...
متن کاملConductometric Analysis of some Ionic Liquids, 1-Alkyl-3-methylimidazolium Bromide with Aspirin in Acetonitrile Solutions
In recent years, ionic liquids have been used in pharmaceutical processes. Therefore, having a deep insight into the ion association behavior of ionic liquids in the presence of a drug is of particular importance. So, in this work, the molar conductivities of the ionic liquids, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [CnMIm]Br (n = 4, 6 and 8) in various concentrations of aspirin (ASA) ...
متن کاملBioelectrocatalysis in ionic liquids. Examining specific cation and anion effects on electrode-immobilized cytochrome c.
Cytochrome c immobilized on alkylthiol self-assembled monolayers exhibits a characteristic Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox signal that is lost when exposed to ionic liquids composed of a butylimidazolium cation combined with either hexafluorophosphate or bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion. In this study it was shown that exposure to the aqueous solubilized ionic liquid components, butyl-, hexyl-, and...
متن کاملProtic ionic liquids: preparation, characterization, and proton free energy level representation.
We give a perspective on the relations between inorganic and organic cation ionic liquids (ILs), including members with melting points that overlap around the borderline 100 degrees C. We then present data on the synthesis and properties (melting, boiling, glass temperatures, etc.) of a large number of an intermediate group of liquids that cover the ground between equimolar molecular mixtures a...
