Conformation of Pyrene-Labeled Amylose in DMSO Characterized with the Fluorescence Blob Model
(American Chemical Society, 2016-10-25)Amylose and poly(methyl acrylate) were randomly labeled with pyrene to yield a series of Py-Amylose and Py-PMA constructs, and their ability to form excimer in DMSO was characterized quantitatively by steady-state and ... -
Distinction of Individual Lanthanide Ions with a DNAzyme Beacon Array
(American Chemical Society, 2016-06-24)Developing chemical probes to distinguish each lanthanide ion is a long-standing challenge. Aside from its analytical applications, solving this problem will also enhance our knowledge in metal ligand design. Using in vitro ... -
Label-Free Ag+ Detection by Enhancing DNA Sensitized Tb3+ Luminescence
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2016-08-26)In this work, the effect of Ag+ on DNA sensitized Tb3+ luminescence was studied initially using the Ag+-specific RNA-cleaving DNAzyme, Ag10c. While we expected to observe luminescence quenching by Ag+, a significant ... -
Multicopper Laccase Mimicking Nanozymes with Nucleotides as Ligands
(American Chemical Society, 2017-01-18)Using nanomaterials to achieve functional enzyme mimics (nanozymes) is attractive for both applied and fundamental research. Laccases are multicopper oxidases highly important for biotechnology and environmental remediation. ...
