Abstract
Amphiphilic peptide sequences are conducive to secondary structures that self-assemble into higher-ordered peptide nanostructures. A select set of amphiphilic polycationic peptides displayed stable helical-coiled structures that self-assembled into peptide nanofibers. The progression of peptide fibril formation revealed short protofibrils that extended into thin filaments and into an entangled network of nanofibers over an extended (5 days) incubation period. Ligand binding with 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (ANS) and Congo Red (CR) confirmed the amphiphilic helical-coiled peptide structure assembly into nanofibers, whereas curcumin treatment led to inhibition of fibril formation. Considering the vast repertoire of fibrous biomaterials and peptide or protein (mis)folding contingent on fibril formation, this work relates the molecular interplay in between sequence composition, structural folding and the ligand binding events impacting peptide self-assembly into nanofibers.

Abstract
Fluorescence polarization (FP) has been applied in detecting chemicals and biomolecules for early-stage diagnosis, food safety analyses, and environmental monitoring. Compared to organic dyes, inorganic nanomaterials such as quantum dots have special fluorescence properties that can enhance the photostability of FP-based biosensing. In addition, nanomaterials, such as metallic nanoparticles, can be used as signal amplifiers to increase fluorescence polarization. In this review paper, different types of nanomaterials used in in FP-based biosensors have been reviewed. The role of each type of nanomaterial, acting as a fluorescent element and/or the signal amplifier, has been discussed. In addition, the advantages of FP-based biosensing systems have been discussed and compared with other fluorescence-based techniques. The integration of nanomaterials and FP techniques allows biosensors to quickly detect analytes in a sensitive and cost-effective manner and positively impact a variety of different fields including early-stage diagnoses.

Abstract
Dye conjugation is a common strategy improving the surface enhanced Raman detection sensitivity of biomolecules. Reported is a proof-of-concept study of a novel surface enhanced Raman spectroscopic tagging strategy termed as acid-cleavable SERS tag (ACST) method. Using Rhodamine B as the starting material, we prepared the first ACST prototype that consisted of, from the distal end, a SERS tag moiety (STM), an acid-cleavable linker, and a protein reactive moiety. Complete acid cleavage of the ACST tags was achieved at a very mild condition that is 1.5% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) aqueous solution at room temperature. SERS detection of this ACST tagged protein was demonstrated using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the model protein. While the SERS spectrum of intact ACST-BSA was entirely dominated by the fluorescent signal of STM, quality SERS spectra can be readily obtained with the acid cleaved ACST-BSA conjugates. Separation of the acid cleaved STM from protein further enhances the SERS sensitivity. Current SERS detection sensitivity, achieved with the acid cleaved ACST-BSA conjugate is ∼5 nM in terms of the BSA concentration and ∼1.5 nM in ACST content. The dynamic range of the cleaved ACST-BSA conjugate spans four orders of magnitudes from ∼10 nM to ∼100 μM in protein concentrations. Further improvement in the SERS sensitivity can be achieved with resonance Raman acquisition. This cleavable tagging strategy may also be used for elimination of protein interference in fluorescence based biomolecule detection.

Abstract
Using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the model protein, normal Raman spectra of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugated protein were systematically studied for the first time using both solution and the drop coating deposition Raman (DCDR) sampling techniques. The FITC-BSA Raman spectra are dominated by the FITC Raman features that are strongly pH dependent. Current DCDR detection sensitivity obtained with a 10:1 FITC-BSA conjugate is 45 fmol in terms of total protein consumption and ∼15 attomol at laser probed volume. Unlike the FITC-BSA solution Raman spectra, where the FITC Raman features are photostable, concurrent FITC fluorescence and Raman photobleaching is observed in the DCDR spectra of FITC-BSA. While the FITC Raman photobleaching follows a single exponential decay function with a time constant independent of the FITC labeling ratio, the fluorescence background photobleaching is much more complicated and it depends strongly on the FITC labeling ratio and sample conditions. Mechanistically, the FITC Raman photobleaching is believed to be due to photochemical reaction of the FITC molecules in the electronically excited state. The FITC fluorescence photobleaching involves both concentration quenching and photochemical quenching, and the latter may involve a photochemical intermediate that is fluorescence inactive but Raman active.

Abstract
A critical assumption in using labeled antibodies is that the conjugation reaction has no deleterious effects on antibody avidity. This study demonstrates that this assumption need not hold true and presents a methodology to quantitatively determine the degree of inactivation and/or changes in antibody-antigen binding that can occur with conjugation. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was conjugated to a mouse monoclonal antibody, Fc125, against hemagglutinin (HA) using varying fluorophore/protein (F:P) labeling ratios. Antibody binding, as a function of the F:P labeling ratio, was evaluated using a kinetic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and analyzed using global fitting. A two-parameter adjustment of the antibody concentration and the maximum rate was sufficient to describe the rate changes. The concentration parameter dominated the rate changes, consistent with the hypothesis that the coupling reaction inactivated an increasing fraction of the antibody population with a smaller change ( approximately 15% at the highest F:P ratio) in antibody-antigen binding. An optimal F:P ratio that minimized both inactivation and unlabeled antibody was calculated. This procedure can be used to prepare functional, labeled antibody reagents with defined activity and can aid in quantitative applications where the stoichiometry and functionality of the labeled antibody are critical.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was conjugated to three organic fluorescent probes, 5-(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-ylamino)fluorescein hydrochloride (DTAF), Rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RITC), and Lucifer yellow VS (LY). The protein sorption profile to one pHEMA-based (etafilcon A) and three silicone hydrogel (SH) contact lens types (lotrafilcon B, balafilcon A and senofilcon A) was determined using confocal laser scanning microscopy. In addition, all lenses were incubated in dye solutions containing the fluorescent probe alone; and in a separate experiment BSA accumulation was quantified using radiolabeling. The different fluorescent conjugates showed similar sorption profiles for the pHEMA-based lens, but marked differences for all SH lenses. Lotrafilcon B accumulated more protein on the surface as compared to the matrix, independent of the fluorescent probe used for conjugation. Protein sorption varied for senofilcon A, with DTAF-BSA sorbing primarily to the surface region, while the other conjugates penetrated in equal amounts into the matrix. Balafilcon A exhibited smaller differences between conjugates, with LY-BSA allowing the protein to fully penetrate the matrix, while the other conjugates showed minor surface adsorption. Sorption curves of unbound dyes were often similar compared to the conjugated results. BSA profiles to pHEMA-based and silicone hydrogel lenses were highly dependent on the fluorescent probe used and none of the probes accurately reflected quantitative protein levels for the lens materials investigated.

Abstract
A combination of fluorescence detection and microfluidic technology provides promising applications in life sciences. A prototype of an integrated fluorescence detection system and optical fiber light guide on a laminate-based multichannel microfluidic chip has been developed and tested. A blue LED, plastic optical fiber, photodiode, Mylar and PMMA, and fluorescein and BSA-FITC were used as an excitation source, light coupler and guide, detector, microfluidic substrate and sample, respectively. The results show that the system is capable of detecting weak fluorescence emission from a fluorescein solution at concentration down to 0.01 ng/ml, and gives linear response. The results were also reproducible, and no cross-talk between adjacent channels was observed. The test using BSA as a model analyte demonstrates its feasibility for on-chip immunosensor applications. The performance and applications can be developed further. This prototype can be used as a platform to develop a simple and compact bio-fluorescence detection system integrated with an inexpensive and disposable multichannel microfluidic chip for biomedical devices.

Abstract
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is a method allowing in situ visualization of protein transport in porous chromatography resins. CLSM requires labeling a protein with a fluorescent probe. Recent work has shown that conjugation of the protein with fluorescent probes can lead to significant changes in the retention time of the protein-dye conjugate with respect to the unlabeled protein. In this study, we show that common labeling procedures result in a heterogeneous mixture of different variants and that attachment location of the fluorescent probe on the protein surface can have a strong effect on the retention of protein-dye conjugate. Lysozyme was labeled with Cy5 and BODIPY-FL succinimidyl esters, followed by chromatographic separation of the different lysozyme-dye conjugates and subsequent determination of the label position using MALDI-TOF-MS. Finally, homogenously labeled lysozyme-dye conjugates were used in CLSM experimentation and compared to published results arising from heterogeneously labeled feedstocks. The results confirm that the attachment location of the fluorescent probe has a strong effect on chromatographic retention behavior. When addressing the binding affinities of the different labeled protein fractions, it was found that native lysozyme was able to displace lysozyme-dye conjugates when the fluorescent label was attached to lysine-33, but not when attached to lysine-97. Finally, it could be shown that when superimposing the single profiles of the three major fractions obtained during a labeling procedure a qualitative picture of the net profile is obtained.

Abstract
In clinical oncology, many trials with superoxide dismutase (SOD) have failed to demonstrate antitumor ability and in many cases even caused deleterious effects because of low tumor-targeting ability. In the current research, the Nostoc commune Fe-SOD coding sequence was amplified from genomic DNA. In addition, the single chain variable fragment (ScFv) was constructed from the cDNA of an LC-1 hybridoma cell line secreting anti-lung adenocarcinoma monoclonal antibody. After modification, the SOD and ScFv were fused and co-expressed, and the resulting fusion protein produced SOD and LC-1 antibody activity. Tracing SOD-ScFv by fluorescein isothiocyanate and superoxide anions (O2*-) in SPC-A-1 cells showed that the fusion protein could recognize and enter SPC-A-1 cells to eliminate O2*-. The lower oxidative stress resulting from the decrease in cellular O2*- delayed the cell cycle at G1 and significantly slowed SPC-A-1 cell growth in association with the dephosphorylation of the serine-threonine protein kinase Akt and expression of p27kip1. The tumor-targeting fusion protein resulting from this research overcomes two disadvantages of SODs previously used in the clinical setting, the inability to target tumor cells or permeate the cell membrane. These findings lay the groundwork for development of an efficient antitumor drug targeted by the ScFv.

Abstract
Confocal laser scanning microscopy has been previously applied to the study of protein uptake in porous chromatography resins. This method requires labeling the protein with a fluorescent probe. The labeled protein is then diluted with a large quantity of native protein so that the fluorescence intensity is a linear function of the labeled protein concentration. Ideally, the attachment of a fluorescent probe should not affect the affinity of the protein for the stationary phase; however, recent experimental work has shown that this assumption is difficult to satisfy. In the present study, we present a mathematical model of protein diffusion and adsorption in a single adsorbent particle. The differences in adsorption behavior of labeled and native protein are accounted for by treating the system as a two-component system (labeled and native protein) described by the steric mass action isotherm (SMA). SMA parameters are regressed from experimental linear gradient elution data for lysozyme and lysozyme-dye conjugates (for the fluorescent dyes Cy3, Cy5, Bodipy FL, and Atto635). When the regressed parameters are employed in the model, an overshoot in the labeled lysozyme concentration is predicted for Cy5- and Bodipy-labeled lysozyme, but not for Atto635-labeled lysozyme. The model predictions agree qualitatively well with recent work showing the dependence of the concentration overshoot on the identity of the attached dye and provide further evidence that the overshoot is likely caused by the change of binding characteristics due to the fluorescent label.

Abstract
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is being increasingly used for observing protein uptake in porous chromatography resins. Recent CLSM studies have revealed the possible existence of a nondiffusive protein transport mechanism. Observing protein uptake with CLSM requires labeling the protein with a fluorescent probe. This study examines the effect of the probe identity on the subsequent CLSM adsorption profiles. The adsorption of lysozyme conjugated with different fluorescent probes (Cy5, BODIPY FL, Atto 635, and Atto 520) on SP Sepharose Fast Flow was measured using CLSM and zonal chromatography experiments. Results from zonal chromatography show that the retention time of lysozyme-dye conjugates differ significantly from unlabeled lysozyme. The change in retention of lysozyme upon conjugation with a fluorescent probe is consistent with the difference in net charge between the lysozyme-dye conjugate and unlabeled lysozyme. The adsorption profiles measured by CLSM show significantly different behavior depending upon whether the lysozyme-dye conjugate is retained longer or shorter than the unlabeled lysozyme. These results strongly suggest that the lysozyme concentration overshoot observed in previous CLSM experiments is the result of displacement of weaker binding labeled lysozyme by stronger binding unlabeled lysozyme.

Abstract
Intermolecular electron transfer is investigated in a dye-doped polyelectrolyte (PE) multilayer film. Hollow PE capsules, with a mean diameter of 2 microm, were prepared by stepwise adsorption of a pyrene (PY)-labeled polyanion and various polycations onto charged colloids and subsequent dissolution of the colloidal core. The high concentration of dye molecules within the capsule wall and the control of the medium polarity on a nanometer length scale are proposed to facilitate light-induced charge separation over distances of a few nanometers. In particular, a PY-labeled poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS-PY) has been synthesized and used as polyanion for the polyelectrolyte capsule preparation. A polarity gradient across the wall of the PE shells is assumed to be achieved by adsorbing diverse polycations at different film positions. The high effective film area followed by high optical density of the PE capsule solution enables time-resolved optical spectroscopy. Using pulsed excited state absorption (ESA) the transient absorption peaks of the radical anion and cation state of pyrene were measured, respectively. In the presence of additional electron donor (or acceptor) molecules in the capsule solution the pyrene anion (cation) is observed in the ESA spectra, while both transient states are seen if no additional molecules are present. These results are interpreted as an electron transfer from pyrene to the donor (acceptor) molecule or between two pyrene molecules. An asymmetry of the electron donor and electron acceptor efficiency was observed when multilayer shells were used that are supposed to carry an internal polarity gradient.

Abstract
Study of the reaction between the transition organometallic complex 4-ruthenocenyl 2,6-dimethylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate and the enzyme hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) in solution and by diffusion in crystals was performed by use of a combination of spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. Conjugation involving the lysine residues of lysozyme appeared to occur readily, yielding very stable ruthenocenyl pyridinium adducts with average degrees of incorporation ranging from 0.2 to 1.8 metal complexes per protein molecule, depending on reaction conditions. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) revealed that the protein conjugates were in fact mixtures of unmodified, mono-, di- and sometimes tripyridinium adducts. In combination with reversed-phased HPLC, we were able to show that six different monoruthenocenyl pyridinium adducts were formed in solution. This result was confirmed by trypsin digestion of a ruthenocenyl pyridinium conjugate and MALDI-TOF MS analysis of the peptide mixture, which showed that lysines 1, 13, 33, 96, 97 and 116 were involved in the reaction with the pyrylium complex, lysines 13, 33 and 116 being the major binding sites. In the tetragonal crystal state, no binding of the ruthenium complex was shown to occur at lysine 116, owing to steric hindrance at this particular position.
