Explanation for the selective crystallization from inosine solutions using mid-frequency Raman difference spectra analysis.

ABSTRACT: Mid-frequency Raman difference spectra (MFRDS) analysis can be used to reveal the selective crystallization from solutions through determining the degree of similarity of the short-range orders between the assemblies of small organic molecules in solutions and their solid phases. Four solid phases of inosine (IR) (α-anhydrous IR (α-IR), β-anhydrous IR (β-IR), IR dihydrate (IRD), and amorphous IR (AmIR)) and two IR solutions (aqueous and 70 vol% DMSO aqueous solution) were prepared and characterized using MFRDS here. The MFRDS analysis results indicate that the selective formation of IRD and AmIR from IR aqueous solution and β-IR from IR 70 vol% DMSO solution are originated from the high similarity of their short-range structures. Moreover, we propose that the formation of α-IR from IR aqueous solution benefits from the appearance of AmIR as an intermediate phase. MFRDS is a robust tool to explain and predict the possible precipitation products from various solutions of small organic molecules.

Low- versus Mid-frequency Raman Spectroscopy for <i>in Situ</i> Analysis of Crystallization in Slurries.

Project description:Slurry studies are useful for exhaustive polymorph and solid-state stability screening of drug compounds. Raman spectroscopy is convenient for monitoring crystallization in such slurries, as the measurements can be performed in situ even in aqueous environments. While the mid-frequency region (400-4000 cm-1) is dominated by intramolecular vibrations and has traditionally been used for such studies, the low-frequency spectral region (<200 cm-1) probes solid-state related lattice vibrations and is potentially more valuable for understanding subtle and/or complex crystallization behavior. The aim of the study was to investigate low-frequency Raman spectroscopy for in situ monitoring of crystallization of an amorphous pharmaceutical in slurries for the first time and directly compare the results with those simultaneously obtained with mid-frequency Raman spectroscopy. Amorphous indomethacin (IND) slurries were prepared at pH 1.2 and continuously monitored in situ at 5 and 25 °C with both low- and mid-frequency Raman spectroscopy. At 25 °C, both spectral regions profiled amorphous IND in slurries as converting directly from the amorphous form toward the α crystalline form. In contrast, at 5 °C, principal component analysis revealed a divergence in the detected conversion profiles: the mid-frequency Raman suggested a direct conversion to the α crystalline form, but the low-frequency region showed additional transition points. These were attributed to the appearance of minor amounts of the ε-form. The additional solid-state sensitivity of the low-frequency region was attributed to the better signal-to-noise ratio and more consistent spectra in this region. Finally, the low-frequency Raman spectrum of the ε-form of IND is reported for the first time.

Watt-scale super-octave mid-infrared intrapulse difference frequency generation.

Project description:The development of high-power, broadband sources of coherent mid-infrared radiation is currently the subject of intense research that is driven by a substantial number of existing and continuously emerging applications in medical diagnostics, spectroscopy, microscopy, and fundamental science. One of the major, long-standing challenges in improving the performance of these applications has been the construction of compact, broadband mid-infrared radiation sources, which unify the properties of high brightness and spatial and temporal coherence. Due to the lack of such radiation sources, several emerging applications can be addressed only with infrared (IR)-beamlines in large-scale synchrotron facilities, which are limited regarding user access and only partially fulfill these properties. Here, we present a table-top, broadband, coherent mid-infrared light source that provides brightness at an unprecedented level that supersedes that of synchrotrons in the wavelength range between 3.7 and 18?µm by several orders of magnitude. This result is enabled by a high-power, few-cycle Tm-doped fiber laser system, which is employed as a pump at 1.9?µm wavelength for intrapulse difference frequency generation (IPDFG). IPDFG intrinsically ensures the formation of carrier-envelope-phase stable pulses, which provide ideal prerequisites for state-of-the-art spectroscopy and microscopy.

Project description:We present mass-correlated rotational alignment spectroscopy, based on the optical excitation of a coherent rotational quantum wave and the observation of temporal wave interferences in a mass spectrometer. Combined electronic and opto-mechanical delays increased the observation time and energy resolution by an order of magnitude compared with preceding time-domain measurements. Rotational transition frequencies were referenced to an external clock for accurate absolute frequency measurements. Rotational Raman spectra for six naturally occurring carbon disulfide isotopologues were resolved with 3 MHz resolution over a spectral range of 500 GHz. Rotational constants were determined with single-kilohertz accuracy, competitive with state-of-the-art frequency domain measurements.

Complex refractive index spectra of whole blood and aqueous solutions of anticoagulants, analgesics and buffers in the mid-infrared.

Project description:Mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for characterising the vibrations of molecular bonds and is therefore ideal for label-free detection of chemical species. Recent research into thin-film deposition and etching techniques for mid-infrared materials shows potential for realising miniaturised bedside biosensors for clinical diagnostics exploiting MIR spectroscopy, to replace laboratory based-techniques. However, lack of refractive index information for commonly encountered biological media and analytes hampers optimisation of biosensor performance for maximum sensitivity, especially for devices exploiting evanescent spectroscopy. Here we present refractive index data for human whole blood and several aqueous solutions of general interest to the clinical community: anticoagulants, analgesics and buffers. The refractive indices are generally dominated by the water content of each sample and the whole blood spectra exhibit additional strong features due to protein content. Furthermore, we present a generalised method for extracting complex refractive indices of aqueous solutions in the mid-infrared region using conventional attenuated total reflection Fourier transform spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) without the need for collimated or polarised incident light, as is required for existing methods.

Over 100-THz bandwidth selective difference frequency generation at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 nanojunctions.

Project description:The ability to combine continuously tunable narrow-band terahertz (THz) generation that can access both the far-infrared and mid-infrared regimes with nanometer-scale spatial resolution is highly promising for identifying underlying light-matter interactions and realizing selective control of rotational or vibrational resonances in nanoparticles or molecules. Here, we report selective difference frequency generation with over 100?THz bandwidth via femtosecond optical pulse shaping. The THz emission is generated at nanoscale junctions at the interface of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) that is defined by conductive atomic force microscope lithography, with the potential to perform THz spectroscopy on individual nanoparticles or molecules. Numerical simulation of the time-domain signal facilitates the identification of components that contribute to the THz generation. This ultra-wide-bandwidth tunable nanoscale coherent THz source transforms the LAO/STO interface into a promising platform for integrated lab-on-chip optoelectronic devices with various functionalities.

Multivariate Analysis of Difference Raman Spectra of the Irradiated Nucleus and Cytoplasm Region of SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells.

Project description:Previous works showed that spatially resolved Raman spectra of cytoplasm and nucleus region of single cells exposed to X-rays evidence different features. The present work aims to introduce a new approach to profit from these differences to deeper investigate X-ray irradiation effects on single SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. For this aim, Raman micro-spectroscopy was performed in vitro on single cells after irradiation by graded X-ray doses (2, 4, 6, 8 Gy). Spectra from nucleus and cytoplasm regions were selectively acquired. The examination by interval Principal Component Analysis (i-PCA) of the difference spectra obtained by subtracting each cytoplasm-related spectrum from the corresponding one detected at the nucleus enabled us to reveal the subtle modifications of Raman features specific of different spatial cell regions. They were discussed in terms of effects induced by X-ray irradiation on DNA/RNA, lipids, and proteins. The proposed approach enabled us to evidence some features not outlined in previous investigations.

Adenosine to Inosine editing frequency controlled by splicing efficiency.

Project description:Alternative splicing and adenosine to inosine (A to I) RNA-editing are major factors leading to co- and post-transcriptional modification of genetic information. Both, A to I editing and splicing occur in the nucleus. As editing sites are frequently defined by exon-intron basepairing, mRNA splicing efficiency should affect editing levels. Moreover, splicing rates affect nuclear retention and will therefore also influence the exposure of pre-mRNAs to the editing-competent nuclear environment. Here, we systematically test the influence of splice rates on RNA-editing using reporter genes but also endogenous substrates. We demonstrate for the first time that the extent of editing is controlled by splicing kinetics when editing is guided by intronic elements. In contrast, editing sites that are exclusively defined by exonic structures are almost unaffected by the splicing efficiency of nearby introns. In addition, we show that editing levels in pre- and mature mRNAs do not match. This phenomenon can in part be explained by the editing state of an RNA influencing its splicing rate but also by the binding of the editing enzyme ADAR that interferes with splicing.

Raman spectra of the GFP-like fluorescent proteins.

Project description:The objective of the study was to elucidate optical characteristics of the chromophore structures of fluorescent proteins. Raman spectra of commonly used GFP-like fluorescent proteins (FPs) with diverse emission wavelengths (green, yellow, cyan and red), including the enhanced homogenous FPs EGFP, EYFP, and ECFP (from jellyfish) as well as mNeptune (from sea anemone) were measured. High-quality Raman spectra were obtained and many marker bands for the chromophore of the FPs were identified via assignment of Raman spectra bands. We report the presence of a positive linear correlation between the Raman band shift of C5=C6 and the excitation energy of FPs, demonstrated by plotting absorption maxima (cm-1) against the position of the Raman band C5=C6 in EGFP, ECFP, EYFP, the anionic chromophore and the neutral chromophore. This study revealed new Raman features in the chromophores of the observed FPs, and may contribute to a deeper understanding of the optical properties of FPs.

High-throughput computation and evaluation of raman spectra.

Project description:Raman spectroscopy is used ubiquitously in the characterization of condensed materials, spanning from biomaterials, minerals to polymers, as it provides a unique fingerprint of local bonding and environment. In this work, we design and demonstrate a robust, automatic computational workflow for Raman spectra that employs first-principle calculations based on density functional perturbation theory. A set of computational results are compared to Raman spectra obtained from established experimental databases to estimate the accuracy of the calculated properties across chemical systems and structures. Details regarding the computational methodology and technical validation are presented along with the format of our publicly available data record.

Infrared and Raman spectra of lignin substructures: Dibenzodioxocin.

Project description:Vibrational spectroscopy is a very suitable tool for investigating the plant cell wall in situ with almost no sample preparation. The structural information of all different constituents is contained in a single spectrum. Interpretation therefore heavily relies on reference spectra and understanding of the vibrational behavior of the components under study. For the first time, we show infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of dibenzodioxocin (DBDO), an important lignin substructure. A detailed vibrational assignment of the molecule, based on quantum chemical computations, is given in the Supporting Information; the main results are found in the paper. Furthermore, we show IR and Raman spectra of synthetic guaiacyl lignin (dehydrogenation polymer-G-DHP). Raman spectra of DBDO and G-DHP both differ with respect to the excitation wavelength and therefore reveal different features of the substructure/polymer. This study confirms the idea previously put forward that Raman at 532 nm selectively probes end groups of lignin, whereas Raman at 785 nm and IR seem to represent the majority of lignin substructures.
