Abstract
Amyloids are broadly investigated protein misfolding products with characteristic β-sheet assemblies that have an important role in neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease). While they are usually visualized by staining with Thioflavin-T, Congo Red, or other fluorescent markers, it still arouses a controversy over possible staining molecule influence on the amyloid structure or aggregation process. In this work we present, for the first time, the polarization analysis of two-photon excited autofluorescence of amyloids and confirm that polarization dependence of the observed emission can be correlated with the orientation of fibrils. We show the potential of two-photon excited autofluorescence for resolution of molecular organization of fibrils within amyloid superstructures. This label-free method is compatible with two-photon imaging already applied in investigation of neurodegeneration model in mice.

Abstract
We report on two-photon excitation properties of small silver-doped gold nanoclusters (AuAgNCs) and on their three-dimensional arrangement in a hybrid system composed of DNA liquid crystals (LCs) and AuAgNCs. UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and multiphoton excitation spectroscopy were used to characterize the nanoparticles. We show that AuAgNCs exhibit two-photon excited luminescence (2PL) emission and second-harmonic generation (SHG) and that these properties remain the same in liquid crystalline matrix. The results are described in detail and discussed in the context of possible imaging application of AuAgNC and specific AuAgNCs organization induced by liquid crystalline ordering of DNA molecules.

Abstract
Recent experiments have shown that short double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) fragments having six- to 20-base pairs exhibit various liquid crystalline phases. This violates the condition of minimum molecular shape anisotropy that analytical theories demand for liquid crystalline ordering. It has been hypothesized that the liquid crystalline ordering is the result of end-to-end stacking of dsDNA to form long supramolecular columns which satisfy the shape anisotropy criterion necessary for ordering. To probe the thermodynamic feasibility of this process, we perform molecular dynamics simulations on ultrashort (four base pair long) dsDNA fragments, quantify the strong end-to-end attraction between them, and demonstrate that the nematic ordering of the self-assembled stacked columns is retained for a large range of temperature and salt concentration.

Abstract
We have studied the interaction of a polymeric water soluble anthracenyl derivative () with salmon testes DNA. The results from UV-Vis, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and circular dichroism spectroscopies indicate that the groove binding process regulates the interaction between and DNA. The binding constants, calculated by absorption spectroscopy at 298, 304 and 310 K, were equal to 3.2 × 10(5) M(-1), 4.7 × 10(5) M(-1), and 6.6 × 10(5) M(-1) respectively, proving a relatively high affinity of for salmon testes DNA. Results of Hoechst 33258 displacement assays strongly support the groove binding mode of to DNA. The association stoichiometry of the :DNA adduct was found to be 1 for every 5 base pairs. FT-IR spectra, recorded at different /DNA molar ratios, indicate the involvement of the phosphate groups and adenine and thymine DNA bases in the association process. Thermodynamic results suggest that hydrophobic forces regulate the binding of with DNA without excluding some extent of involvement of van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding arising due to surface binding between the hydrophilic polymeric arms of the ligand and the functional groups positioned on the edge of the groove. The resulting composite biomaterial could constitute a valuable candidate for future biological and/or photonic applications.

Abstract
Composites of DNA origami nanostructures dispersed in a lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal are studied by polarizing optical microscopy. The homogeneous aqueous dispersions can be uniformly aligned by confinement between two glass substrates, either parallel to the substrates owing to uniaxial rubbing or perpendicular to the substrates using ozonized graphene layers. These opportunities of uniform alignment may pave the way for tailored anisometric plasmonic DNA nanostructures to photonic materials. In addition, a decorated texture with nonuniform orientation is observed on substrates coated with pristine graphene. When the water is allowed to evaporate slowly, microscopic crystal needles appear, which are aligned along the local orientation of the director. This decoration method can be used for studying the local orientational order and the defects in chromonic liquid crystals.

Abstract
We show how a single gold nanorod can serve as a multifunctional probe in an organized DNA matrix. Polarization analysis of two-photon luminescence excited with a femtosecond laser enables imaging of the orientation of a single nanorod, which reports the orientation of DNA strands. Carefully controlled photoinduced heating by the same laser is able to degrade the DNA matrix in a highly localized volume.

Abstract
In this Letter, we explored the use of polarized two-photon absorption (2PA) spectroscopy, which brings additional information when compared to methods that do not use polarization control, to investigate the electronic and molecular structure of two chromophores (FD43 and FD48) based on phenylacetylene moieties. The results were analyzed using quantum chemical calculations of the two-photon transition strengths for circularly and linearly polarized light, provided by the response function formalism. On the basis of these data, it was possible to distinguish and identify the excited electronic states responsible for the lowest-energy 2PA-allowed band in both chromophores. By modeling the 2PA circular-linear dichroism, within the sum-over-essential states approach, we obtained the relative orientation between the dipole moments that are associated with the molecular structure of the chromophores in solution. This result allowed to correlate the V-shape structure of the FD48 chromophore and the quantum-interference-modulated 2PA strength.

Abstract
In this report, we investigate the polarization effect (linear, elliptical and circular) on the two-photon absorption (2PA) properties of a chiral compound based in azoaromatic moieties using the femtosecond Z-scan technique with low repetition rate and low pulse energy. We observed a strong 2PA modulation between 800 nm and 960 nm as a function the polarization changes from linear through elliptical to circular. Such results were interpreted employing the sum-over-essential states approach, which allowed us to model the 2PA circular-linear dichroism effect and to identifier the overlapping of the excited electronic states responsible by the 2PA allowed band.
