Herein, two photo-controlled fluorescent switches were constructed with Si@ZnO quantum dots and two photochromic diarylethenes, respectively. In these two fluorescent switches, the diarylethenes could be transformed between open-ring state and closed-ring state upon irradiation with UV/vis lights, resulting in the fluorescence of the Si@ZnO switched between “ON” and “OFF”. The fluorescence modulation efficiencies of the two fluorescent switches were measured to be 91.5% and 88.7%, respectively. The effects of the structure of diarylethenes on the light response times, fluorescence lifetimes, and fatigue resistance were also studied. The mechanism of the fluorescent switching could be ascribed to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) with Si@ZnO quantum dots as energy donors and diarylethenes in closed-ring state as energy acceptors. Furthermore, the prepared fluorescent switches were applied in bioimaging and anti-counterfeiting successfully.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16782,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A-chemistry","volume":"461 ","pages":"Article 116179"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142748736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such assemblies, called amyloids, are known to contain D-isomers of asparagine and serine, and their presence in aging living organisms leads to a number of diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. However, how these amino acids affect the structure and properties of peptides have not yet been established. Using the example of the pentapeptide (PP)-(L)histidine-(L)asparagine-(L)serine-glycine-(L)tyrosine and its analogues with D-asparagine and D-serine, this article studies the comparative reactivity of optical isomers in photoinduced ET using chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP), fluorescence spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The CIDNP method was chosen because it had previously demonstrated high sensitivity to ET processes in chiral dyads linked by non-covalent interactions. ET involving Tyr and His residues of PP was detected under UV irradiation both in the presence of an electron acceptor, naproxen, and during photolysis of PP itself. It was shown that the efficiency of ET and PP fluorescence quenching differ for optical isomers of asparagine and serine. In addition, the dependence of the CIDNP efficiency on the PP concentration showed that ET between Tyr and peptide bonds can occur in the dimer of the PP.
