Magnetically modulated photochemical reaction pathways in anthraquinone molecules and aggregates.

ABSTRACT: The chemical reactions involving excited-state radical pairs (RPs) of parallel/anti-parallel spin configurations are sensitive to magnetic field, leading to the possibilities of magnetically controlled synthesis of chemical compounds. Here we show that the reaction of anthraquinone (AQ) in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solution under UV excitation is significantly influenced by applying external field. The steady state and time-resolved spectroscopies reveal that the reaction intermediate (pairs of AQH-SDS radicals) can undergo two distinct pathways depending on whether it is spin singlet or triplet, and the field is beneficial to the conversion between spin configurations of RPs. The applied field not only affects the reaction rate constant but also changes the final products. Besides, the aggregation of AQ molecules would change the population of singlets and triplets and thus enhance magnetic field effect. This work represents a promising way of controlling chemical reaction and improving reaction selectivity via magnetic field methods.

Defined covalent assembly of protein molecules on graphene using a genetically encoded photochemical reaction handle.

Project description:We have created modified protein variants by introducing a non-canonical amino acid p-azido-l-phenylalanine (azF) into defined positions for photochemically-induced covalent attachment to graphene. Attachment of GFP, TEM and cyt b 562 proteins was verified through a combination of atomic force and scanning tunnelling microscopy, resistance measurements, Raman data and fluorescence measurements. This method can in principle be extended to any protein which can be engineered in this way without adversely affecting its structural stability.

Photochemical Reactions of Fluorinated Pyridines at Half-Sandwich Rhodium Complexes: Competing Pathways of Reaction.

Project description:Irradiation of CpRh(PMe3)(C2H4) (1; Cp = ?5-C5H5) in the presence of pentafluoropyridine in hexane solution at low temperature yields an isolable ?2-C,C-coordinated pentafluoropyridine complex, CpRh(PMe3)(?2-C,C-C5NF4) (2). The molecular structure of 2 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, showing coordination by C3-C4, unlike previous structures of pentafluoropyridine complexes that show N-coordination. Corresponding experiments with 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine yield the C-H oxidative addition product CpRh(PMe3)(C5NF4)H (3). In contrast, UV irradiation of 1 in hexane, in the presence of 4-substituted tetrafluoropyridines C5NF4X, where X = NMe2, OMe, results in elimination of C2H4 and HF to form the metallacycles CpRh(PMe3)(?2-C,C-CH2N(CH3)C5NF3) (4) and CpRh(PMe3)(?2-C,C-CH2OC5NF3) (5), respectively. The X-ray structure of 4 shows a planar RhCCNC-five-membered ring. Complexes 2-5 may also be formed by thermal reaction of CpRh(PMe3)(Ph)H with the respective pyridines at 50 °C.

Photochemical Hexadehydro-Diels-Alder Reaction.

Project description:We demonstrate that the hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) cycloisomerization reaction to produce reactive benzyne derivatives can be initiated photochemically. As with the thermal variant of the HDDA process, the reactive intermediates are formed in the absence of reagents or the resulting byproducts required for the generation of benzynes by traditional methods. This photo-HDDA (or hν-HDDA) reaction occurs at much lower temperatures (including even at -70 °C) than the thermal HDDA, but the benzynes produced behave in the same fashion with respect to their trapping reactions, suggesting they are of the same electronic state.

Rapid and Sensitive Inhibitor Screening Using Magnetically Modulated Biosensors.

Project description:Inhibitor screening is an important tool for drug development, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The most used in vitro inhibitor screening tool is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, ELISA-based inhibitor screening is time consuming and has a limited dynamic range. Using fluorescently and magnetically modulated biosensors (MMB), we developed a rapid and sensitive inhibitor screening tool. This study demonstrates its performance by screening small molecules and neutralizing antibodies as potential inhibitors of the interaction between the spike protein 1 (S1) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. The MMB-based assay is highly sensitive, has minimal non-specific binding, and is much faster than the commonly used ELISA (2 h vs. 7-24 h). We anticipate that our method will lead to a remarkable advance in screening for new drug candidates.

Magnetically modulated critical current densities of Co/Nb hybrid.

Project description:By tuning morphology and size of magnetic subsystem, ferromagnet-superconductor (F/S) hybrid system provides an effective way to modulate superconductivity due to the interaction between superconducting and magnetic-order parameters at the mesoscopic length scale. In this work, we report on investigations of critical current density in a large-area Co/Nb hybrid via facile colloidal lithography. Here, Co hexagon shell array as a magnetic template build on Nb film to modulate the critical current density. A novel superconducting transition has been observed in I-V curve with two metastable transition states: double-transition and binary-oscillation-transition states. Importantly, such unusual behavior can be adjusted by temperature, magnetic field and contact area of F/S. Such hybrid film has important implications for understanding the role of magnetic subsystem modulating superconductivity, as well as applied to low-energy electronic devices such as superconducting current fault limiters.

A Photochemical Reaction in Different Theoretical Representations.

Project description:The Born-Oppenheimer picture has forged our representation and interpretation of photochemical processes, from photoexcitation down to the passage through a conical intersection, a funnel connecting different electronic states. In this work, we analyze a full in silico photochemical experiment, from the explicit electronic excitation by a laser pulse to the formation of photoproducts following a nonradiative decay through a conical intersection, by contrasting the picture offered by Born-Oppenheimer and that proposed by the exact factorization. The exact factorization offers an alternative understanding of photochemistry that does not rely on concepts such as electronic states, nonadiabatic couplings, and conical intersections. On the basis of nonadiabatic quantum dynamics performed for a two-state 2D model system, this work allows us to compare Born-Oppenheimer and exact factorization for (i) an explicit photoexcitation with and without the Condon approximation, (ii) the passage of a nuclear wavepacket through a conical intersection, (iii) the formation of excited stationary states in the Franck-Condon region, and (iv) the use of classical and quantum trajectories in the exact factorization picture to capture nonadiabatic processes triggered by a laser pulse.

Hydroxyl-Radical Reaction Pathways for the Fast Photochemical Oxidation of Proteins Platform As Revealed by 18O Isotopic Labeling.

Project description:Fast photochemical oxidation of protein (FPOP) has become an important mass spectrometry-based protein footprinting approach. Although the hydroxyl radical (•OH) generated by photolysis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is most commonly used, the pathways for its reaction with amino-acid side chains remain unclear. Here, we report a systematic study of •OH oxidative modification of 13 amino acid residues by using 18O isotopic labeling. The results differentiate three classes of residues on the basis of their oxygen uptake preference toward different oxygen sources. Histidine, arginine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine residues preferentially take oxygen from H2O2. Methionine residues competitively take oxygen from H2O2 and dissolved oxygen (O2), whereas the remaining residues take oxygen exclusively from O2. Results reported in this work deepen the understanding of •OH labeling pathway on a FPOP platform, opening new possibilities for tailoring FPOP conditions in addressing many biological questions in a profound way.

Detecting De-gelation through Tissue Using Magnetically Modulated Optical Nanoprobes (MagMOONs).

Project description:Alginate gels are widely used for drug delivery and implanted devices. The rate at which these gels break down is important for controlling drug release. Since the de-gelation may be different in vivo, monitoring this process in situ is essential. However, it is challenging to monitor the gel through tissue due to optical scattering and tissue autofluorescence. Herein we describe a method to detect through tissue the chemically-induced changes in viscosity and de-gelation process of alginate gels using magnetically modulated optical nanoprobes (MagMOONs). The MagMOONs are fluorescent magnetic microspheres coated with a thin layer of opaque metal on one hemisphere. The metal layer prevents excitation and emission light from passing through one side of the MagMOONs, which creates orientation-dependent fluorescence intensity. The magnetic particles also align in an external magnetic field and give blinking signals when they rotate to follow an external modulated magnetic field. The blinking signals from these MagMOONs are distinguished from background autofluorescence and can be tracked on a single particle level in the absence of tissue, or for an ensemble average of particles blinking through tissue. When these MagMOONs are dispersed in calcium alginate gel, they become sensors for detecting gel degradation upon addition of either ammonium ion or alginate lyase. Our results show MagMOONs start blinking approximately 10 minutes after 2 mg/mL alginate lyase addition and this blinking is clearly detected even through up to 4 mm chicken breast. This approach can potentially be employed to detect bacterial biofilm formation on medical implants by sensing specific proteases that either activate a related function or regulate biofilm formation. It can also be applied to other biosensors and drug delivery systems based on enzyme-catalyzed breakdown of gel components.

Photochemical reaction cycle transitions during anion channelrhodopsin gating.

Project description:A recently discovered family of natural anion channelrhodopsins (ACRs) have the highest conductance among channelrhodopsins and exhibit exclusive anion selectivity, which make them efficient inhibitory tools for optogenetics. We report analysis of flash-induced absorption changes in purified wild-type and mutant ACRs, and of photocurrents they generate in HEK293 cells. Contrary to cation channelrhodopsins (CCRs), the ion conducting state of ACRs develops in an L-like intermediate that precedes the deprotonation of the retinylidene Schiff base (i.e., formation of an M intermediate). Channel closing involves two mechanisms leading to depletion of the conducting L-like state: (i) Fast closing is caused by a reversible L?M conversion. Glu-68 in Guillardia theta ACR1 plays an important role in this transition, likely serving as a counterion and proton acceptor at least at high and neutral pH. Incomplete suppression of M formation in the GtACR1_E68Q mutant indicates the existence of an alternative proton acceptor. (ii) Slow closing of the channel parallels irreversible depletion of the M-like and, hence, L-like state. Mutation of Cys-102 that strongly affected slow channel closing slowed the photocycle to the same extent. The L and M intermediates were in equilibrium in C102A as in the WT. In the position of Glu-123 in channelrhodopsin-2, ACRs contain a noncarboxylate residue, the mutation of which to Glu produced early Schiff base proton transfer and strongly inhibited channel activity. The data reveal fundamental differences between natural ACR and CCR conductance mechanisms and their underlying photochemistry, further confirming that these proteins form distinct families of rhodopsin channels.

Photochemical Control over Oscillations in Chemical Reaction Networks.

Project description:Systems chemistry aims to emulate the functional behavior observed in living systems by constructing chemical reaction networks (CRNs) with well-defined dynamic properties. Future expansion of the complexity of these systems would require external control to tune behavior and temporal organization of such CRNs. In this work, we design and implement a photolabile probe, which upon irradiation strengthens the negative feedback loop of a CRN that produces oscillations of trypsin under out-of-equilibrium conditions. By changing the timing and duration of irradiation, we can tailor the temporal response of the network.
