Background and purpose: Cancer is the primary cause of death in the world. Vanadium (IV), a metal ion complex, has been proposed as an appropriate applicant for cancer treatment. In this study, the interaction of an oxidovanadium (IV) complex [VOL(bipy)] with salmon sperm DNA and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated through experimental and computational approaches Using the results of this experimental study, the mechanism as well as the parameters related to the interaction of [VOL(bipy)] with DNA and BSA was determined. Material and methods: The kinetic DNA and BSA interaction with [VOL(bipy)] was determined using absorption titration and fluorescence quenching, respectively. Moreover, the possible interactions was calculated by molecular docking prediction with available software. Results: The binding constant (Kb) of the complex to DNA was calculated to be 2.34×104 M-1 , indicating a relatively strong interaction between the complex and DNA. It was found that the V(IV) complex interacted with DNA through groove binding mode followed by partial intercalation into the DNA helix. The Kb values obtained for [VOL(bipy)]-BSA interaction were in the range of 1.07×103 -5.82×104 M-1 . The V(IV) complex was found to prefer domain I binding pocket of BSA with the ΔGb value of -7.52 kcal/mol. Conclusion: Both experimental and computational studies confirm the interaction of the Vanadium complex with DNA and BSA. The moderate affinity of [VOL(bipy)] to BSA indicates that this protein is a good candidate for transferring the complex.

We have shown the feasibility of 20 nm lateral resolution in both topographic and elemental imaging using probes of this size from a liquid metal ion source (LMIS) scanning ion microprobe (SIM). This performance, which approaches the intrinsic resolution limits of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), was attained by limiting the size of the beam defining aperture (5μm) to subtend a semiangle at the source of 0.16 mr. The ensuing probe current, in our chromatic-aberration limited optical system, was 1.6 pA with Ga+ or In+ sources. Although unique applications of such low current probes have been demonstrated,) the stringent alignment requirements which they imposed made their routine use impractical. For instance, the occasional tendency of the LMIS to shift its emission pattern caused severe misalignment problems.

Finely focused beams extracted from liquid metal ion sources (LMIS) provide a wealth of secondary signals which can be exploited to create high resolution images by the scanning method. The images of scanning ion microscopy (SIM) encompass a variety of contrast mechanisms which we classify into two broad categories: a) Emission contrast and b) Analytical contrast.Emission contrast refers to those mechanisms inherent to the emission of secondaries by solids under ion bombardment. The contrast-carrying signals consist of ion-induced secondary electrons (ISE) and secondary ions (ISI). Both signals exhibit i) topographic emission contrast due to the existence of differential geometric emission and collection effects, ii) crystallographic emission contrast, due to primary ion channeling phenomena and differential oxidation of crystalline surfaces, iii) chemical emission or Z-contrast, related to the dependence of the secondary emission yields on the Z and surface chemical state of the target.
