We have prepared, isolated, and characterized a series of nitrobenzoxadiazole labelled polyisoprenoid alcohols. The coupling reaction employed was a dicyclohexylcarbodiimide mediated condensation between a carboxylic acid derivative of nitrobenzoxadiazole and the polyisoprenoid alcohols citronellol, solanesol, and dolichol. Upon exposure to visible light, a self-sensitized singlet oxygen "ene" reaction oxidized double bonds in the isoprene moiety. The rate of oxidation is greatly reduced in solvents where singlet oxygen is short-lived. Key words: nitrobenzoxadiazole, isoprenoid, dolichol, citronellol, solanesol, fluorescence labelling, singlet oxygen, ene reaction.

<p>A visible-light-mediated thiol-ene reaction is successfully operated in aqueous medium. Organic photoredox catalyst (9-mesityl-10-methylacridinum tetrafluoroborate) is used to initiate the radical process to generate thiyl radicals upon light irradiation. Two reaction pathways are discovered in different aqueous buffer system. Thiol-ene adduct is preferred in acidity reaction medium; while disulfide formation is found to be favored in basic reaction medium. Moreover, a visible-light-mediated modified Danishefsky-Wan desulfurization is used to convert thioglycoside to highly substituted tetrahydropyran ring.</p>

The Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (STXM) is well suited for investigating metaphase chromosome structure. The absorption cross-section of soft x-rays having energies between the carbon and oxygen K edges (284 - 531 eV) is 6 - 9.5 times greater for organic specimens than for water, which permits one to examine unstained, wet biological specimens with resolution superior to that attainable using visible light. The attenuation length of the x-rays is suitable for imaging micron thick specimens without sectioning. This large difference in cross-section yields good specimen contrast, so that fewer soft x-rays than electrons are required to image wet biological specimens at a given resolution. But most imaging techniques delivering better resolution than visible light produce radiation damage. Soft x-rays are known to be very effective in damaging biological specimens. The STXM is constructed to minimize specimen dose, but it is important to measure the actual damage induced as a function of dose in order to determine the dose range within which radiation damage does not compromise image quality.
