Although 1-anilino-naphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS) has been widely used in protein folding and binding studies, the detailed mechanism of this interaction is not fully understood. In this work the binding of ANS was analyzed at pre-equilibrium and equilibrium conditions using bovine serum albumin
The fluorescent dye 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) is known to interact with proteins by conformation-specific hydrophobic interactions and rather nonspecific electrostatic interactions. To which category the complexes detectable by mass spectrometry (MS) belong is still the subject of
Naphthalene cations (C10H+8) were produced in a slit jet coupled with an electronic discharge, and cavity ring down was used to obtain its absorption spectrum in the region 645-680 nm. Two of the strongest C10H+8 bands previously characterized by matrix isolation spectroscopy were found, both with a
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a family of ubiquitous pollutants whose environmental behavior has been widely studied. Different bacterial species are able to decompose hydrocarbons by using them as a food source. One of the best-studied enzymes is naphthalene 1,2-dioxygenase (NDO). A
Labelling of proteins with some extrinsic probe is unavoidable in molecular biology research. Particularly, spectroscopic studies in the optical region require fluorescence modification of native proteins by attaching polycyclic aromatic fluoroprobe with the proteins under investigation. Our present
Infrared absorption spectra of the CH stretching region were observed for naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and perylene using a heated, supersonic, slit-jet source and cavity ringdown spectroscopy. Band positions and intensities recorded with 0.2-cm-1 resolution were compared with
Jet-propulsion fuel (particularly JP-8) is currently being used worldwide, exposing especially Air Force personnel and people living near airfields to JP-8 vapors and aerosols during aircraft fueling, maintenance operations, and/or cold starts. JP-8 is a complex mixture containing >200, mostly
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are xenobiotics whose elevated toxicity for living organisms requires to efficiently monitor air pollution, either by evaluating their levels in the environment, or by assessing their biological impacts on sentinel organisms. We investigated the effects of
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(8)·2C(16)H(14)N(4), consists of one mol-ecule of N,N'-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine (PDAB) and one half of the centrosymmetric naphthalene mol-ecule. The PDAB mol-ecule adopts a non-planar conformation with an E configuration at the two
Structural analysis of toluene-o-xylene monooxygenase (ToMO) hydroxylase revealed the presence of three hydrophobic cavities, a channel, and a pore leading from the protein surface to the active site. Here, saturation mutagenesis was used to investigate the catalytic roles of alpha-subunit (TouA)
The supramolecular host assembly [Ga(4)L(6)](12-) (1; L = 1,5-bis[2,3-dihydroxybenzamido]naphthalene) encapsulates cationic guest molecules within its hydrophobic cavity and catalyzes a variety of chemical transformations within its confined interior space. Despite the well-defined structure, the
There is increasing interest in gold nanocrystals due to their unique physical, chemical, and biocompatible properties. In order to develop a template-assisted method for the fabrication of gold nanocrystals, we demonstrate here the de novo design and synthesis of a β-sheet-forming nonapeptide
The hydration of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) in apo-form and complexed with palmitate, oleate, and 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) has been studied by water 17O and 2H magnetic relaxation dispersion (MRD) measurements. These ligands bind in a large internal cavity,
Gold nanocrystals are promising as catalysts and for use in sensing/imaging systems, photonic/plasmonic devices, electronics, drug delivery systems, and for photothermal therapy due to their unique physical, chemical, and biocompatible properties. The use of various organic templates allows control
The objective of this study was to determine the direct embryotoxic effects in vitro of N-hydroxy-N-methyl-7-propoxy-2-naphthalene-ethanamine (QA 208-199, QAB) and of one of its metabolites, 7-propoxy-naphthalene-2-ylacetic acid (209-668, QAA), after circumventing the bioconverting conceptual
