In this paper, two pyridinium styryl dyes, [2-(4-dimethylamino-phenyl)-vinyl]-1-methylpyridinium iodide (DASPMI), were synthesized and characterized by steady state fluorescence spectroscopy as well as picosecond and femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopies. Both dyes exhibit large Stokes shifts and fluorescence decays equivalent to the instrument response function (IRF) standards employed in time-correlated single-photon counting. Due to their styryl and pyridinium moieties, DASPMIs have higher peak fluorescence intensity and shorter excited-state lifetimes than iodide ion-quenched fluorophores. The fluorescence lifetimes of o-DASPMI and p-DASPMI were measured to be 6.6 ps and 12.4 ps, respectively. The fluorescence transients of these DASPMIs were used as the IRFs for iterative reconvolution fitting of the time-resolved fluorescence decay profiles of Rhodamine B (RhB), sulforhodamine B (SRB), and the SRB-SRB2m RNA aptamer complex. The quality of the fits employing the DASPMI-derived IRFs are consistently equivalent to those employing IRFs obtained from light scattering. These results indicate that DASPMI-derived IRFs may be suited for a broad range of applications in time-resolved spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), especially in the visible emission range.

“…It is insensitive to pH variation in the physiological pH range [24,25]. When Trp is connected to another amino acid (X), it is possible to tune the pH responding range of the Trp-X and X-Trp dipeptides to the physiological range due to the energy transfer between Trp and X [26][27][28][29]. However, using Trp-contained dipeptides as an intrinsic indicator for pH values was seldom reported.…”

Using Fractional Intensities of Time-resolved Fluorescence to Sensitively Quantify NADH/NAD+ with Genetically Encoded Fluorescent Biosensors

In this paper, we propose a novel and sensitive ratiometric analysis method that uses the fractional intensities of time-resolved fluorescence of genetically encoded fluorescent NADH/NAD+ biosensors, Peredox, SoNar, and Frex. When the conformations of the biosensors change upon NADH/NAD+ binding, the fractional intensities (α i τ i) have opposite changing trends. Their ratios could be exploited to quantify NADH/NAD+ levels with a larger dynamic range and higher resolution versus commonly used fluorescence intensity and lifetime methods. Moreover, only one excitation and one emission wavelength are required for this ratiometric measurement. This eliminates problems of traditional excitation-ratiometric and emission-ratiometric methods. This method could be used to simplify the design and achieve highly sensitive analyte quantification of genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors. Wide potential applications could be developed for imaging live cell metabolism based on this new method.
