Long-range energy transfer in proteins.
Proteins are large and complex molecular machines. In order to perform their function, most of them need energy, e.g. either in the form of a photon, as in the case of the visual pigment rhodopsin, or through the breaking of a chemical bond, as in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Such energy, in turn, has to be transmitted to specific locations, often several tens of A away from wh...
متن کاملMagnetic nanoparticle clusters for photothermal therapy with near-infrared irradiation.
In this study, the photothermal effect of magnetic nanoparticle clusters was firstly reported for the photothermal ablation of tumors both in vitro in cellular systems but also in vivo study. Compared with individual magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs), clustered Fe3O4 NPs can result in a significant increase in the near-infrared (NIR) absorption. Upon NIR irradiation at 808 nm, clustered Fe3O4 ...
متن کاملNanoparticle Platforms for Combined Photothermal and Photodynamic Therapy
Phototherapy is a promising strategy for cancer treatment due to its selective and localized therapeutic effect by laser irradiation. Photothermal therapy damages malignant cells by using heat converted from light by an agent. On the other hand, photodynamic therapy uses photosensitizers that become cytotoxic upon irradiation with laser light at excitation wavelength. As singular treatment of e...
متن کاملLong-Range Plasmon-Assisted Energy Transfer between Fluorescent Emitters.
We demonstrate plasmon-assisted energy transfer between fluorophores located at distances up to 7 μm on the top of a thin silver film. Thanks to the strong confinement and large propagation length of surface plasmon polaritons, the range of the energy transfer is almost 2 orders of magnitude larger than the values reported in the literature so far. The parameters driving the energy transfer ra...
متن کاملLong-range electron transfer.
Recent investigations have shed much light on the nuclear and electronic factors that control the rates of long-range electron tunneling through molecules in aqueous and organic glasses as well as through bonds in donor-bridge-acceptor complexes. Couplings through covalent and hydrogen bonds are much stronger than those across van der Waals gaps, and these differences in coupling between bonded...
