Imaging of fluorescence anisotropy during photoswitching provides a simple readout for protein self-association. [PDF]
Performing homo-FRET measurements in cells using a fluorescence microscope is challenging, especially when using high numerical aperture objective lenses.

The influence of chitosan (CS) and amphiphilic polymers (AP: pluronic F108 and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)) on the photocatalytic activity of rose bengal (RB) in a model reaction of tryptophan photo-oxidation in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was studied.

Atomistic picture of fluorescent probes with hydrocarbon tails in lipid bilayer membranes: an investigation of selective affinities and fluorescent anisotropies in different environmental phases [PDF]
By reverting to spectroscopy, changes in the biological environment of a fluorescent probe can be monitored and the presence of various phases of the surrounding lipid bilayer membranes can be detected. This study highlights the important differences in orientation and location and therefore in efficiency between the probes when they are used in ...

Conformational Transitions Accompanying Oligomerization of Yeast Alcohol Oxidase, a Peroxisomal Flavoenzyme [PDF]
Alcohol oxidase (AO) is a homo-octameric flavoenzyme which catalyzes methanol oxidation in methylotrophic yeasts. AO protein is synthesized in the cytosol and subsequently sorted to peroxisomes where the active enzyme is formed.

Non-linear optical spectroscopy and two-photon excited fluorescence spectroscopy reveal the excited states of fluorophores embedded in beetle's elytra [PDF]
Upon illumination by ultraviolet light, many animal species emit light through fluorescence processes arising from fluorophores embedded within their biological tissues. Fluorescence studies in living organisms are however relatively scarce and so far limited to the linear regime.

WawHelioGlow: a model of the heliospheric backscatter glow. II. The helioglow buildup and the potential significance of the anisotropy in the solar EUV output [PDF]
The helioglow is a fluorescence of interstellar atoms inside the heliosphere, where they are excited by the solar EUV. Because the mean free path between collisions for the interstellar gas is comparable to the size of the heliosphere, the distribution function of this gas inside the heliosphere strongly varies in space and with time and is non ...
