Complexes of copper and zinc with chlorophyll, the major photosynthesis pigment, were studied by Vis, FTIR and fluorescence spectroscopy. Two types of complexes were recognized. While copper replaces the central magnesium atom of chlorophyll to form a "central" Cu-Chl complex, this was not proposed in the case of zinc. Instead, the zinc-mediated formation of a 6-membered chelate cycle fused at the periphery of the chlorophyll structure is proposed. The latter event could be ascribed to allomerization reactions of chlorophyll.

The fabrication of self-ordered semiconductor (TiO2) and noble metal (Au) QDs arrays was successfully achieved by advanced nonlithographic template based method, namely using nanoporous alumina template. The emphasis was placed on the successful preparation of QDs arrays with the desired size, homogeneous distribution and optical (especially fluorescence) properties. Titania and gold QDs characterization by SEM, EDX and fluorescence spectroscopy was performed in order to verify their surface topography, chemical composition and emission properties in UV/VIS range of spectra, respectively. The surface biofunctionalization of QDs was realized via simple physical adsorption of glutathione tripeptide, which makes these arrays suitable for potential biosensing application, mainly in optical and electrochemical detection of biomoleculesin vitro.

Subcellular organelle-targeted photosensitizers have recently reported to be effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents. In this work, three porphyrin-derived photosensitizers, containing one, two or four triphenylphosphonium targeting groups, were synthesized and characterized by NMR, HRMS, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. These photosensitizers showed similar photophysical properties to classical porphyrins and exhibited excellent [Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] quantum yields in acetonitrile. Subcellular colocalization indicated that all three photosensitizers specifically stain the mitochondria of HeLa cells. Photosensitizer mito-dp, containing two triphenylphosphonium cations was found to be the most uptaken by cells and exhibited the best PDT effect with an effective phototoxicity (IC[Formula: see text] (light) [Formula: see text] 12.4 nM), suggestive of a higher practicable potential of mitochondria-targeted PDT agents in cancer therapy.

Banana bract mosaic disease caused by Banana bract mosaic potyvirus (BBrMV) is reported to instigate heavy loss in banana and plantain across Asia. Almost all the cultivars of banana succumb to the disease resulting in malformed bunches weighing less than half of normal ones. In the current study the coat protein (CP) gene segment present at the 3’ terminal region of the viral genome amplified by RT-PCR was cloned into expression vectors, pRSET-C and pGEX-4T-2 to use it for raising polyclonal antiserum which in turn will aid in developing assays to detect the virus. Recombinant BBrMV CP (rCP) in pRSET-C when expressed was insoluble whereas, it was in the soluble fraction when expressed from pGEX-4T-2. The GST-fusion protein was purified by GSH sepharose affinity column chromatography and western blot analysis was performed using anti GST antibodies. 360 µg/ml of protein was purified from 1 l of culture. The GST tag was cleaved from the purified protein by incubation with thrombin at 25°C overnight.  The rCP was characterized using ultracentrifugation, fluorescence spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The tagless monomer failed to assemble to virus like particles (VLPs) in vitro which was substantiated by fluorescence spectroscopy. This study will be first step towards deciphering structure and functions of Banana bract mosaic virus coat protein.
