Abstract
Detecting the NO concentration in lysosomes is a highly challenging task. This study conducted a detailed theoretical investigation into the NO detection mechanism of one highly efficient two photon fluorescent probe Lyso-NINO. Through quantum chemical calculation methods, the geometric and electronic structures of the probe were theoretically analyzed to elucidate the changes in the electronic structure of the probe molecule before and after reacting with NO. All the theoretical results would provide the insights for deep understanding the design and development of the efficient fluorescent probe to detect the NO concentration in biological system.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
