Ensemble and Single-Molecule Studies on Fluorescence Quenching in Transition Metal Bipyridine-Complexes
Beyond their use in analytical chemistry fluorescent probes continuously gain importance because of recent applications of single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy to monitor elementary reaction steps. In this context, we characterized quenching of a fluorescent probe by different metal ions with fluorescence spectroscopy in the bulk and at the single-molecule level. We apply a quantitative mo...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Spectroscopic Studies of Conjugated Polymers
A semiconductor is a type of material which has electrical properties in between an insulator and a conductor. A conductor can be thought of as a group of atoms surrounded by a sea of free electrons, which are free to move throughout the material; in contrast, the electrons in an insulator are tightly localized on a specific atom or molecule. In a semiconductor, the electrons are localized as i...
متن کاملPolyproline and the "spectroscopic ruler" revisited with single-molecule fluorescence.
To determine whether Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements can provide quantitative distance information in single-molecule fluorescence experiments on polypeptides, we measured FRET efficiency distributions for donor and acceptor dyes attached to the ends of freely diffusing polyproline molecules of various lengths. The observed mean FRET efficiencies agree with those determine...
متن کاملMetal-enhanced fluorescence from silver nanoparticle-deposited polycarbonate substrates{
Silver nanoparticles were deposited onto polycarbonate (PC) films by employing sequential surface modification methods. In the first step, PC films were etched either by exposure to ultra-violet radiation or by etching with sodium hydroxide at 70 uC, which resulted in the formation of a mixture of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the surface of the films. Next, the PC films were silanized with 3...
متن کاملSingle-molecule spectroscopic methods.
Being praised for the mere fact of enabling the detection of individual fluorophores a dozen years ago, single-molecule techniques nowadays represent standard methods for the elucidation of the structural rearrangements of biologically relevant macromolecules. Single-molecule-sensitive techniques, such as fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, allow real-time access to a multitude of molecular ...
