Synthesis and Photostability of Unimolecular Submersible Nanomachines: Toward Single-Molecule Tracking in Solution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis and photophysical properties of a series of photostable unimolecular submersible nanomachines (USNs) are reported as a first step toward the analysis of their trajectories in solution. The USNs have a light-driven rotatory motor for propulsion in solution and photostable cy5-COT fluorophores for their tracking. These cy5-COT fluorophores are found to provide an almost 2-fold increase in photostability compared to the previous USN versions and do not affect the rotation of the motor.

Unimolecular Submersible Nanomachines. Synthesis, Actuation, and Monitoring
Unimolecular submersible nanomachines (USNs) bearing light-driven motors and fluorophores are synthesized. NMR experiments demonstrate that the rotation of the motor is not quenched by the fluorophore and that the motor behaves in the same manner as the corresponding motor without attached fluorophores. No photo or thermal decomposition is observed. Through careful design of control molecules w...

متن کاملPhotostability Determination of Commercially Available Nifedipine Oral Dosage Forms in Iran
Nifedipine (NIF) a 1, 4-dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist, undergoes photodegradation to nitroso analogues of dehydronifedipine (NDNIF) when exposed to sunlight. Photodegradation products of NIF have no clinical activity, so different formulations of NIF must remain unchanged. If NIF preparations become unstable in exposure to light, they could cause therapeutic failure. The present st...
متن کاملInvestigating the Ibuprofen Chiral Forms Interactions with Single Wall Carbon Nanotube
The aim of this study is investigating the transport mechanism of ibuprofen chiral isomers inside single wall carbon nano tube (SWCNT) using mathematical modeling. To achieve this goal, molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to evaluate the interactions of ibuprofen isomers with SWCNT in an aqueous solution. Results show that both chiral forms of ibuprofen molecules enter and remain i...

Molecular machines are examples of "pre-established" nanotechnology, driving the basic biochemistry of living cells. They encompass an enormous range of function, including fuel generation for chemical processes, transport of molecular components within the cell, cellular mobility, signal transduction and the replication of the genetic code, amongst many others. Much of our understanding of suc...
