Minor structural modifications to the DNA and RNA nucleobases have a significant effect on their excited state dynamics and electronic relaxation pathways.<b> </b>In this study, the excited state dynamics of 7-deazaguanosine and guanosine 5’-monophosphate are investigated in aqueous solution using femtosecond broadband transient absorption spectroscopy following excitation at 267 nm. The transient absorption spectra are collected under experimental conditions that eliminate the requirement to correct the data for the formation of hydrated electrons, resulting from the two-photon ionization of the solvent. The data is fitted satisfactorily using a two-component sequential kinetic model, yielding lifetimes of 210 ± 50 fs and 1.80 ± 0.02 ps, and 682 ± 40 fs and 1.4 ± 0.03 ps, for 7-deazaguanosine and guanosine 5’-monophosphate, respectively. By analyzing the results from steady-state, time-resolved, and computational calculations, the following relaxation mechanism is proposed for 7-deazaguanosine, S<sub>2</sub>(L<sub>b</sub>) ® S<sub>1</sub>(L<sub>a</sub>) ® S<sub>0</sub>, whereas a S<sub>2</sub>(L<sub>b</sub>) ® S<sub>1</sub>(L<sub>a</sub>) ® S<sub>0</sub>(hot)<sub> </sub>® S<sub>0 </sub>relaxation mechanism<sub> </sub>is proposed for guanosine 5’-monophosphate. Interestingly, longer lifetimes for both the L<sub>b</sub> ® L<sub>a</sub> and the L<sub>a</sub> ® S<sub>0</sub> internal conversion pathways are obtained for 7-deazaguanosine compare to guanosine 5’-monophosphate. Collectively, the results demonstrate that substitution of a single nitrogen for a methine (C-H) group at position seven of the guanine moiety stabilizes the <sup>1</sup>pp* L<sub>b</sub> and L<sub>a</sub> states and alters the topology of their potential energy surfaces in such a way that the population dynamics of both internal conversion pathways in 7-deazaguanosine are significantly slowed down compared to those in guanosine 5’-monophosphate.

<p>Minor structural modifications to the DNA and RNA nucleobases have a significant effect on their excited state dynamics and electronic relaxation pathways.<b> </b>In this study, the excited state dynamics of 7-deazaguanosine and guanosine 5’-monophosphate are investigated in aqueous and in a mixture of methanol and water using femtosecond broadband transient absorption spectroscopy following excitation at 267 nm.

Abstract The electronic absorption and fluorescence emission spectra of N-(2,5-dimethyl-pyrrol-1-yl)-2-(5-methoxybenzofuran-3-yl)acetamide (DPMA) molecule were recorded in various solvents at room temperature with the aim of estimation of ground state (\({\mu }_{g}\)) and excited states (\({\mu }_{e}\)) dipole moments using Lippert’s, Bakshiev’s and Kawski-Chamma-Viallete’s equations. The results were signified that, the excited state dipole moment is greater than the ground state dipole moment, which indicates the excited state dipole moment is more polar than the ground state dipole moment. Ecofriendly green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using catharanthus roseus (C.R) leaf extract was done. These synthesized Ag NPs were used as fluorescence quenchers. Fluorescence lifetime measurement is carried out using time correlated single photon counting technique of DPMA molecule with various concentrations of Ag NPs. A linear Stern-Volmer (S-V) plot was obtained in steady state and transient state method. Furthermore we have estimated computational calculations such as ground state optimized geometry, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), experimental and theoretical energy band gap, solvent polarity and normalized solvent polarity values. Morphology and sizes of green synthesized silver NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and also characterized by UV-Visible absorption.

The phenomenon of bioluminescence has fascinated layman and scientist alike for many centuries. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries a number of observations were reported on the physiology of bioluminescence in Renilla, the common sea pansy. More recently biochemists have directed their attention to the molecular basis of luminosity in this colonial form. These studies have centered primarily on defining the chemical basis for bioluminescence and its control. It is now established that bioluminescence in Renilla arises due to the luciferase-catalyzed oxidation of luciferin. This results in the creation of a product (oxyluciferin) in an electronic excited state. The transition of oxyluciferin from its excited state to the ground state leads to light emission.

Development Application

Core edge spectroscopy methods are versatile tools for investigating a wide variety of materials. They can be used to probe the electronic states of materials in bulk solids, on surfaces, or in the gas phase. This family of methods involves promoting an inner shell (core) electron to an excited state and recording either the primary excitation or secondary decay of the excited state. The techniques are complimentary and have different strengths and limitations for studying challenging aspects of materials. The need to identify components in polymers or polymer blends at high spatial resolution has driven development, application, and integration of results from several of these methods.
