Bioorthogonal Photoactivation of 2‐Nitrobenzyl Caged Doxorubicin Anticancer Prodrugs on Gold Nanostars

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bioorthogonal chemistry was applied to intracellularly photoactivate Doxorubicin (Dox) using gold nanostars (AuNSt) and near‐infrared (NIR) light. Two prodrugs were used: one photoactivatable, masked with 2‐nitrobenzyl carbamate (proDox1) and another photolabile, masked with 2‐nitrobenzyl diol (proDox2), which was attached to the AuNSt surface.

Response of gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence of maize to alternate irrigation with fresh- and brackish water

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2017
The scarcity of good-quality water is forcing the use of brackish water for irrigation in many areas around the world. Alternate fresh- and brackish water irrigation is a feasible irrigation method (IM).

Hexanoic acid 2-(diethylamino)ethyl ester enhances chilling tolerance in strawberry seedlings by impact on photosynthesis and antioxidants

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2011
Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.) seedlings were pretreated with hexanoic acid 2-(diethylamino)ethyl ester (DA-6) in concentrations of 0, 10, 20 and 40 mg dm-3 and then subjected to chilling and rewarming. The effects of applied DA-6 on the generation

Amplified singlet oxygen generation in metallated-porphyrin doped conjugated polymer nanoparticles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We report on the mechanism and efficiencies of singlet oxygen O2(1Δg) generation of nanoparticles (NP) of the conjugated polymer (CP) poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole) (F8BT) doped with platinum octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) suspended in water.

Fundamental Molecules of Life are Pigments which Arose and Evolved to Dissipate the Solar Spectrum

open access: yes, 2014
The driving force behind the origin and evolution of life has been the thermodynamic imperative of increasing the entropy production of the biosphere through increasing the global solar photon dissipation rate.

Photochemistry and Photophysics of Coordination Compounds of the Main Group Metals [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The photoproperties of main group metal complexes with the electron configurations s2 (e.g. T l + , Sb3 + , Te4 + ) and s° (e.g. T l 3 + , Pb4 + ) were studied on the basis of a general concept which relates characteristic excited states to typical ...

Relaxing non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) to improve photosynthesis in crops

open access: yes, 2023
Sunlight intercepted by crop plants drives photosynthesis and growth. However, the light-harvesting antenna complexes that capture light energy for photosynthesis can also absorb too much light, which enhances the formation for reactive oxygen species and can result in damage to photosynthetic reaction centres.

Is PsbS the site of non-photochemical quenching in photosynthesis? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2004
The PsbS protein of photosystem II functions in the regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting. Along with a low thylakoid lumen pH and the presence of de-epoxidized xanthophylls, PsbS is necessary for photoprotective thermal dissipation (qE) of excess absorbed light energy in plants, measured as non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll ...

Single‐Chromophore Homojunction Organic Solar Cells: A Path to Simplicity and Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses how the intrinsic optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductors, their molecular packing in the solid‐state, and internal energetic gradients within a device can enable free‐charge carrier generation in homojunction organic solar cells.
