Higher Sensitivity

The sensitivity of fluorescence probes built upon the resonance energy transfer is not high enough at present. We built a fluorescence probe with high sensitivity (SA-488-sub-nanogold) by means of the fluorochrome Alexa488 (SA-488) labeled by streptavidin, nanogold, and biotin-subpeptide. When the fluorescence molecule SA-488 binds with the nanogold by biotin-subpeptide, the fluorescence intensity will be suppressed because of resonance energy transfer. If there are molecules under test, the energy transfer will be blocked, by which we can get the molecule content from the fluorescence intensity. Using this probe, we acquired a lower detection limit and a higher sensitivity for biotin detection.

We have reported on the fluorescence behaviors of Rhodamine 6G with the palladium-coat gold nanorods in dichlormethane solution and in polymethylmethaceylate thin film. By monitoring the emission intensity of these samples, they show the enhancement of fluorescence intensity through the optical effect known as a plasmon resonance energy transfer. The enhancement intensity of fluorescence is enhanced up to 1.6 fold for the sample solution and 1.4 fold for the sample thin film.

Fluorescence Photoswitching

A multichromophoric glucopyranoside 2 bearing three dicyanomethylenepyran (DCM) fluorophores and one diarylethene (DAE) photochrome has been prepared by Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne–azide cycloaddition reaction. The fluorescence of 2 was switched off upon UV irradiation, in proportion with the open to closed form (OF to CF) conversion extent of the DAE moiety. A nearly 100% Förster-type resonance energy transfer (FRET) from all three DCM moieties to a single DAE (in its CF) moiety was achieved. Upon visible irradiation, the initial fluorescence intensity was recovered. The observed photoswiching is reversible, with excellent photo resistance.

Spring Model

Polymer solutions under shear flow are often observed in manufacturing processes. Classically, polymer behavior is represented by Kuhn’s bead-spring model, in which only the elongation of polymer chains is assumed. In recent years, the compression of polymer chains under shear flow has been reported. In this study, we investigated the behavior of polymer chains dissolved in various concentrations under shear flow. We measured the time variation of the fluorescence intensity emitted from a FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) polymer, which enabled us to study the change in the distance between both ends of a polymer chain. The polymer chains appeared to stretch and compress depending on the concentration of the polymer solution. The results showed that the deformation of polymer chains was different from the classical theory. The FRET measurement is a promising diagnostic method for understanding the dynamics of polymer chains.

Highly Sensitive Detection

We recently implemented highly sensitive detection systems for photo-sensitizing potassium ions (K+) based on two-step Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). As a successive study for quantitative understanding of energy transfer processes in terms of the exciton population, we investigated the fluorescence decay dynamics in conjugated polymers and an aptamer-based 6-carboxyfluorescein (6-FAM)/6-carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) complex. In the presence of K+ ions, the Guanine-rich aptamer enabled efficient two-step resonance energy transfer from conjugated polymers to dyed pairs of 6-FAM and TAMRA through the G-quadruplex phase. Although the fluorescence decay time of TAMRA barely changed, the fluorescence intensity was significantly increased. We also found that 6-FAM showed a decreased exciton population due the compensation of energy transfer to TAMRA by FRET from conjugated polymers, but a fluorescence quenching also occurred concomitantly. Consequently, the fluorescence intensity of TAMRA showed a 4-fold enhancement, where the initial transfer efficiency (~300%) rapidly saturated within ~0.5 ns and the plateau of transfer efficiency (~230%) remained afterward.

Opposing Effect

Guanylyl cyclase-activating proteins (GCAPs) and recoverin are retina-specific Ca(2+)-binding proteins involved in phototransduction. We provide here evidence that in spite of structural similarities GCAPs and recoverin differently change their overall hydrophobic properties in response to Ca(2+). Using native bovine GCAP1, GCAP2 and recoverin we show that: i) the Ca(2+)-dependent binding of recoverin to Phenyl-Sepharose is distinct from such interactions of GCAPs; ii) fluorescence intensity of 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS) is markedly higher at high [Ca(2+)](free) (10 microM) than at low [Ca(2+)](free) (10 nM) in the presence of recoverin, while an opposing effect is observed in the presence of GCAPs; iii) fluorescence resonance energy transfer from tryptophane residues to ANS is more efficient at high [Ca(2+)](free) in recoverin and at low [Ca(2+)](free) in GCAP2. Such different changes of hydrophobicity evoked by Ca(2+) appear to be the precondition for possible mechanisms by which GCAPs and recoverin control the activities of their target enzymes.
