Multi-spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the binding mode of PAH to HSA and results revealed the presence of static type of quenching mechanism. The number of binding sites, binding constants and thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The results showed a spontaneous binding of PAH to HSA and hydrophobic interactions played a major role. In addition, the distance between PAH and the Trp–214 was estimated employing the F？rster＇s theory. Site marker competitive experiments indicated that the binding of PAH to HSA primarily took place in subdomain IIA（Sudlow＇s site I）. The influence of interference of some common metal ions on the binding of PAH to HSA was studied. Synchronous fluorescence spectra（SFS）, 3D fluorescence spectra and circular dichroism（CD） results indicated the conformational changes in the structure of HSA.展开更多

Peanut oil was subjected to an accelerated oxidation testing. The spectral and related chemical indicators were caught during oxidation induce testing. Fluorescence spectra were gained for each sample with simultaneous excitation from 200 to 800 nm and the offsets (Δλ) of 10 to 180 nm during the oxidation process. The results showed the induce period (IP) of the peanut oil was 16.45 h. Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) was performed to select the best Δλ interval of 70 nm, which spectral data was the most suitable for interval partial least square (iPLS) and synergy interval PLS (siPLS) modeling and forecast. The study presented all interval selection methods had the better results than the global spectrum modelling. iPLS reached the best into 10 intervals with a ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) of 2.10. siPLS that separated the whole spectrum into 15 intervals and combined the third intervals (282 to 320 nm, 362 to 400 nm, and 761 to 800 nm) had a ratio of RPD of 2.26. The results showed the optimal siPLS model performed a little better than iPLS. The established model lying on interval selection could improve the prediction accuracy. It could provide a quick, accurate method to monitor oil oxidation process. </div>展开更多

The analysis of fluorescence emission, excitation, synchronous or excitation-emission matrix (EEM) have been used to identify the main source or probable contribution of dissolved compounds, such as humic acids (HA), fulvic acids (FA) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from sewage, but does not quantify. Fluorescence emission is a powerful technique to detect and qualify organic dissolved compounds but fails in quantitative aspects. In this work, we propose an in situ method for direct determination of DOC using synchronous fluorescence spectra with independent component analysis (ICA). Well known standard solutions were used for method development and validation. In this work, we show that it is possible to predict the number of independent contributions using an unsupervised method based on iterative Principal Component Analysis and Independent Component Analysis (PCA-ICA) approach over combined matrix results. Within these results it’s also possible to see that with a very small amount of independent components it is possible to describe environmental samples of HA, FA and primary productivity (PP).展开更多

This compound possesses a 2D Hoffman-type structure and its spin crossover transition usually demonstrates high sensitivity toward intriguing effects such as the change of solvent vips. Due to the strong correlations between the spin state and fluorescence emission, the magnetic and fluorescence properties of this material can be synchronously tuned by not only physical thermal treatment, but also the chemical stimuli of solvent vips. Upon desorption or adsorption of the solvent vips, both the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility and fluorescence intensity can be reversibly varied between three-, one-, and two-stepped transitions, accompanied by wide thermal hysteresis loops. The synchronous control of magnetic and fluorescence behaviors through multiple external stimuli may give a new perspective to developing novel multifunctional materials.展开更多

The maxima of emission fluorescence spectra were changed only in the case of 2b and 2c during interaction with BSA, HSA as well as mitochondrial outer membrane showing a slight hypsochromic shift and decrease of fluorescence. Interaction of the methoxy-(1b,2b) and the dimethylamino-substituted (1c,2c) compounds with outer mitochondrial membrane were studied by fluorescence polarization. Fluorescence polarization of 1b in the presence of the two proteins and mitochondria was found to be unchanged. Under similar conditions (2b,1c,2c) showed continuously increasing fluorescence polarization signal during the 30 minute period of investigations. Since fluorescence polarization supposes that as a result of binding these substances to proteins and lipids. Compound 2c displayed a continuous increase of fluorescence polarization signal in the presence of proteins (BSA, HSA), yeast cytoplasm (YC) and mitochondria (YM and RLM). This compound displayed a significant cytotoxic effect. This pattern of interaction with proteins might be one of the contributing vectors of the observed cytotoxicity against several human carcinoma cell lines.展开更多

During this process, a 60-70% organic matter reduction occurs and the final product, the digestate, is charac- terized by high biological stability and high contents of recalcitrant organic molecules and nutrients. In the present work digestates obtained by different mixture of biomasses in a full-scale co-digestion plant operating in Italy were characterized as whole samples without any pre-treatment or extraction by means of Fourier transform infrared spec- troscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy in the synchronous-scan mode and results were compared to those obtained on the single fresh substrates. Biomasses considered were: beef cattle slurry, maize or sorghum silage, agro-industrial residues, olive residues and olive mill wastewater. These substrates exhibited typical spectra related to their different chemical composition. Results obtained on digestates provided evidence of distinctive characteristic of the final product as a function of the different composition of the biomasses loaded into the digestion plant. We concluded that FTIR and fluorescence spectra of digestates produced in a real co-digestion plant “inherit” the main spectroscopic features of the organic wastes from which they are produced. Spectroscopic techniques used in this work succeeded in qualitatively characterizing and differentiating digestates obtained from biomasses of different chemical composition.展开更多

In the absence of targets DNA, FAM-tagged free MB probes （PHBv） and ROX-tagged free MB probes （PHIv） are adsorbed on GO via π-π interactions between DNA nucleobases and nucleosides, and the π-rich GO brings the fluorophores of MB and GO into close proximity. And then, the fluorescence of fluorophores is quenched by GO. But in the presence of targets DNA, PHBV and PHW hybridize with their targets DNA resulting in the formation of double-stranded DNA （dsDNA）, causing the separation of PHBV and PHW from the surface of GO and the recovery of the fluorescence of fluorophores （FAM and ROX） simultaneously. The simultane- ous detection of T1 and T2 can be realized by measuring fluorescence signals of FAM and ROX, respectively. Under the op- timum conditions, the fluorescence intensities of two dyes all exhibit good linear dependence on their target DNA concentra- tion in the range of 5×10-11-5×10 9 M. The detection limit of T1 is 3×10-11 M （3σ）, and that of T2 is 2×10-11 M. Compared with other methods for DNA detection based on GO, the proposed method has some advantages including higher selectivity and shorter analytical time.展开更多

It has been found that with the increase of urea concentration, there occur sequentially the deaggregation of cytochrome c molecules, the increase of exposure extent of the heme group to the solvent, the disruption of Fe-S bond of the heme group and the change in the electrochemical behaviour of cytochrome c. It is suggested that the reason why the electrochemical reaction of cytochrome c is irreversible is that cytochrome c molecules exist in the concentrated solution as oligomers which are electrochemically inactive.展开更多
