Chlorophyll a self-assembly in polar solvent-water mixtures.
The conversion of chlorophyll a (Chl a) monomers into large aggregates in six polar solvents upon addition of water has been studied by means of absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime measurements for the purpose of elucidating the various environmental factors promoting Chl a self-assembly and determining the type of its organization. Two empirical solvent parameter sc...
متن کاملDNA assembly using bis-peptide nucleic acids (bisPNAs)
DNA nanostructures are ordered oligonucleotide arrangements that have applications for DNA computers, crystallography, diagnostics and material sciences. Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a DNA/RNA mimic that offers many advantages for hybridization, but its potential for application in the field of DNA nanotechnology has yet to be thoroughly examined. We report the synthesis and characterization o...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of proteins and their nucleic acids
We have developed an artificial protein scaffold, herewith called a protein vector, which allows linking of an in-vitro synthesised protein to the nucleic acid which encodes it through the process of self-assembly. This protein vector enables the direct physical linkage between a functional protein and its genetic code. The principle is demonstrated using a streptavidin-based protein vector (SA...
متن کاملPrebiotic Assembly of Nucleic Acids
The ideal scientist is one who thinks like a poet, but works like a bookkeeper. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank my advisor, Dr. Nick Hud, who over the years helped me develop my passion for science. The opportunity to work in his lab on the chemical origins of life was an eye-opening experience that will continue to influence my career for many years to come. I would also like t...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of a hydrophobically modified naphthalene-labeled poly(acrylic acid) polyelectrolyte in water: organic solvent mixtures followed by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence.
The solution properties of two water-soluble polymers, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), covalently labeled with the fluorescent hydrophobic dye naphthalene (Np), have been investigated in water:organic solvent mixtures. The naphthalene chromophores have been randomly attached, onto the polymer, with two different degrees of labeling. Fluorescence measurements (steady-state and time-resolved) have been...
