DIKETONES AS PHOTOSENSITIZING AGENTS: APPLICATION TO αLAMINO ACIDS and ENZYMES [PDF]

open access: bronzePhotochemistry and Photobiology, 1982
Abstract— 2,3‐Butanedione (biacetyl), phenylglyoxal, 1,2‐cyclohexanedione and similar carbonyl compounds have been used as specific arginyl probes in enzyme chemistry. Depending on irradiation conditions, these and other related carbonyl compounds may, however, cause extensive changes in the structure of an enzyme regardless of the essentiality or ...

Multifunctional Photosensitizer-Based Contrast Agents for Photoacoustic Imaging [PDF]

open access: goldScientific Reports, 2014
Photoacoustic imaging is a novel hybrid imaging modality combining the high spatial resolution of optical imaging with the high penetration depth of ultrasound imaging. Here, for the first time, we evaluate the efficacy of various photosensitizers that are widely used as photodynamic therapeutic (PDT) agents as photoacoustic contrast agents ...
