Fluorescence by self-assembly: autofluorescent peptide vesicles and fibers

Abstract

A series of oxidized cysteinyl peptides ([P-Cys-X-OMe]2; P = Boc or H; X = Trp or Glu) showed vesicular and fibrillar assemblies. The anatomy of the self-assembled vesicles from the...

Self-revealing kinetically captured self-assembly of a N,N′-diphenyl-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine derivative

“…The fluorescencebased techniques holds promise for the abovementioned purposes as it not only offers real-time, in situ, and visualization capabilities, but is also simple, inexpensive, and sensitive. Many works have been reported for real-time, in situ, and visual monitoring of thermodynamic equilibrium assembly processes so far, [44][45][46][47][48][49] but only few have been related to non-equilibrium assemblies. 50 Among various fluorophores, a unique system reported by Tian's team in 2015, namely, N,N 0 -diphenyl-dihydrodibenzo-[a,c]phenazines (DPACs), has received much attention due to its excellent environment-sensitive and continuously-tunable fluorescence properties.…”
