Circuit theory of metal-enhanced fluorescence [PDF]

Photonics and Nanostructures - Fundamentals and Applications, 2019
Abstract Metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) comprises several linear phenomena which can be successfully described either by a classical theory or by a quantum one. Usually different phenomena are described by different classical models. Recently, an analytical model for a metal nanoantenna coupled to a quantum emitter was suggested that grants an ...

Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence Solution-Based Sensing Platform [PDF]

Journal of Fluorescence, 2004
In recent years our laboratories have reported the favorable effects for fluorophores placed in close proximity to surface immobilized silver nanostructures. These include; greater quantum yields, reduced lifetimes (increased photostability) and directional emission. However, while these findings are likely to find multifarious applications for surface

Conformational Switching of Proteins on Material Surfaces Enabled by Peptide‐Oriented Adsorption

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Responsive biointerfaces could be achieved using conformationally responsive proteins; however, their interconversion can be lost upon surface adsorption. Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation a Au binding peptide into calmodulin allows for binding control on Au wherein the protein retains conformational switching. This capability was confirmed
