PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 292:122416.

Abstract
Spectral-fluorescent and photochemical properties of trimethine cyanine dyes T-304, T-306, and T-307, having substituents in 6,6'-positions, in various organic solvents, in aqueous buffer solutions, in the presence of surfactants and ethanol additives, and the effect on these properties of addition of DNA have been studied. Strong aggregation of the dyes in aqueous and aqueous buffer solutions has been shown. This is due to increased hydrophobicity of the dyes, which makes it difficult to use them as spectral-fluorescent probes for DNA. In the presence of DNA, trimethine cyanines partially form highly fluorescent complexes of dye monomers with the biomolecule, with slight decomposition of the initial aggregates and the formation of aggregates on DNA molecules. The formation of different types of dye-DNA complexes, i.e., intercalation and binding in the DNA grooves, was modeled by molecular docking. Dye-DNA complexes were also studied by circular dichroism spectroscopy and by thermal dissociation of DNA. To reveal selectivity of the dyes, their interaction with human serum albumin was briefly studied. The presence of moderate concentrations of nonionic surfactants does not lead to a significant decomposition of aggregates, but leads to a biphasic dependence of the fluorescence intensity on the DNA concentration. At the same time, ethanol additives (15%) lead to a more or less linear concentration dependence of the fluorescence intensity, which makes it possible to use these dyes as fluorescent probes for DNA. The effective binding constants of the dyes to DNA and the limits of DNA detection using the dyes in the presence of 15% ethanol were estimated. Photoisomerization and generation of the triplet states of T-304, T-306, and T-307 have been also studied. Along with the fluorescence growth, complexation with DNA leads to an increase in the yield of the triplet states of the dyes. This creates a prerequisite for using the dyes in targeted PDT. In the presence of DNA, the decay kinetics of the triplet states are biexponential, which indicates different types of dye complexes with DNA. The rate constants of oxygen quenching of the triplet states of the dyes bound to DNA are significantly lower than the diffusion-controlled values (taking into account the spin-statistical factor), which is explained by the shielding effect on the triplet molecules in complexes with DNA. The data obtained show that dyes T-304, T-306 and T-307, with addition of 15% ethanol, can be used as possible fluorescent probes for DNA.

Photonics of Trimethine Cyanine Dyes as Probes for Biomolecules. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27196367.

Abstract
Cyanine dyes are widely used as fluorescent probes in biophysics and medical biochemistry due to their unique photophysical and photochemical properties (their photonics). This review is focused on a subclass of the most widespread and studied cyanine dyes—trimethine cyanines, which can serve as potential probes for biomolecules. The works devoted to the study of the noncovalent interaction of trimethine cyanine dyes with biomolecules and changing the properties of these dyes upon the interaction are reviewed. In addition to the spectral-fluorescent properties, elementary photochemical properties of trimethine cyanines are considered, including: photoisomerization and back isomerization of the photoisomer, generation and decay of the triplet state, and its quenching by oxygen and other quenchers. The influence of DNA and other nucleic acids, proteins, and other biomolecules on these properties is covered. The interaction of a monomer dye molecule with a biomolecule usually leads to a fluorescence growth, damping of photoisomerization (if any), and an increase in intersystem crossing to the triplet state. Sometimes aggregation of dye molecules on biomolecules is observed. Quenching of the dye triplet state in a complex with biomolecules by molecular oxygen usually occurs with a rate constant much lower than the diffusion limit with allowance for the spin-statistical factor 1/9. The practical application of trimethine cyanines in biophysics and (medical) biochemistry is also considered. In conclusion, the prospects for further studies on the cyanine dye–biomolecule system and the development of new effective dye probes (including probes of a new type) for biomolecules are discussed.

Abstract
The ongoing spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection requires us to find new tools and methods for detecting and studying the infection and preventing morbidity (new analytical procedures and tests). With the aim of developing probes for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus by modeling in silico (molecular docking), the noncovalent binding of cyanine and squarylium dyes with different molecular charges and different types of heterocyclic residues and substituents (42 compounds in total) with different variants of the NSP15 endoribonuclease of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19) of the original (wild) type and mutant types is studied. The interaction energies and spatial configurations of the dye molecules in complexes with NSP15 are determined. Some dyes with negative values of the total energy of the complex Etot are promising for further practical study as probes for coronavirus.

Abstract
The noncovalent interaction of meso-aryl-substituted thiacarbocyanine dyes I and II with dsDNA and ssDNA in aqueous solutions has been studied by spectral-fluorescent methods. Complexation with DNA is accompanied by both aggregation of the dyes and the formation of monomeric strongly fluorescent complexes. Experiments on molecular docking of dyes I and II with dsDNA confirm the previous assumption about the possibility of the formation of complexes of different types: intercalation between base pairs and in the grooves of the double helix of the biopolymer. The possibility of intercalation of the dyes in the complex is confirmed by experiments on thermal dissociation of dsDNA in the presence of dyes I and II, as well as experiments on the interaction of the dyes with ssDNA. An increase in the melting temperatures Tm of dsDNA is obtained in the presence of I and II, similar to that observed for the classical intercalator ethidium bromide. The limits of detection and quantification of DNA, which are important for the use of the dyes as probes for DNA, have been determined. The primary photochemical processes of the dyes in complexes with ssDNA were studied by flash photolysis technique. Complexation with ssDNA hinders photoisomerization and creates favorable conditions for the dye triplet state formation. The decay kinetics of the triplet state of the dyes were monoexponential. The rate constant of quenching of the triplet state by air oxygen was estimated for dye I complexed with ssDNA and was found to be less than the diffusion-controlled limit. This is probably a consequence of the shielding effect of the complex on the triplet quenching process.

Abstract
Spectral-fluorescent and photochemical properties (photoisomerization and generation of the triplet state) of meso-substituted cationic carbocyanine dyes, 3,3'-di-(β-hydroxyethyl)-5,5'-dimethoxy-9-ethylthiacarbocyanine iodide (K1) and 3,3'-di-(β-hydroxyethyl)-9-methylthiacarbocyanine iodide (K2), have been studied in solutions and in the presence of DNA. In solutions, on passing from acetonitrile to dioxane, a growth of fluorescence of the dyes is observed due to a shift of the equilibrium of cis/trans isomers toward the fluorescent trans-isomer. Upon flash photolysis of dye solutions in dioxane, the formation and subsequent decay of the cis-photoisomers of the dyes are observed. In aqueous solutions, the interaction with DNA leads to the formation of noncovalent complexes of K1 and K2 with DNA, which is accompanied by a significant increase in the fluorescence intensity. The results of the molecular docking experiments showed the possibility of several types of binding, which was confirmed by the data obtained from other experiments. The effects of temperature and additions of NaCl on the stability of the dye-DNA complexes were studied. The spectral-fluorescent data were used to estimate the binding constants of the dyes with DNA and other characteristics of the dyes that are important for their use as probes. Upon flash photolysis of the dyes in complexes with DNA, photoisomerization is not observed, but the quantum yield of intersystem crossing to the triplet state increases. The decay of the triplet states occurs by a two-exponential law. The rate constants for quenching of the triplet states of the dyes complexed with DNA by oxygen were found to be lower than the expected values for diffusion-controlled quenching (taking into account the spin statistical factor 1/9), which is explained by the steric factor of complexation.

Abstract
The noncovalent interaction between various polymethine dyes (45 compounds in total) and a spike protein (S), one of the main structural component of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, is studied in silico (molecular docking) to develop effective probes to detect the virus. The interaction energies and the spatial configurations of the complexes of the dye molecules with S are found. We showed that cationic polymethine dyes and neutral squarylium dyes do not form stable complexes with S. Some anionic dyes having negative total energies Etot may be recommended for practical research.

Abstract
Photoexcited fluorescent markers are extensively used in spectroscopy, imaging, and analysis of biological systems. The performance of fluorescent markers depends on high levels of emission, which are limited by competing nonradiative decay pathways. Small-molecule fluorescent dyes have been increasingly used as markers due to their high and stable emission. Despite their prevalence, the nonradiative decay pathways of these dyes have not been determined. Here, we investigate these pathways for a widely used indocarbocyanine dye, Cy3, using transient grating spectroscopy. We identify a nonradiative decay pathway via a previously unknown dark state formed within ∼1 ps of photoexcitation. Our experiments, in combination with electronic structure calculations, suggest that the generation of the dark state is mediated by picosecond vibrational mode coupling, likely via a conical intersection. We further identify the vibrational modes, and thus structural elements, responsible for the formation and dynamics of the dark state, providing insight into suppressing nonradiative decay pathways in fluorescent markers such as Cy3.

Abstract
Protein-induced fluorescence enhancement (PIFE) is an increasingly used approach to investigate DNA-protein interactions at the single molecule level. The optimal probe for this type of application is highly photostable, has a high absorption extinction coefficient, and has a moderate fluorescence quantum yield that increases significantly when the dye is in close proximity to a large macromolecule such as a protein. So far, the green-absorbing symmetric cyanine known as Cy3 has been the probe of choice in this field because the magnitude of the increase observed upon protein binding (usually 2-4 -fold) is large enough to allow for the analysis of protein dynamics on the inherently noisy single-molecule signals. Here, we report the characterization of the photophysical properties of the red-absorbing hemicyanine dye Dy-630 in the context of its potential application as a single-molecule PIFE probe. The behavior of Dy-630 in solution is similar to that of Cy3; the fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime of Dy-630 increase with increasing viscosity, and decrease with increasing temperature indicating the existence of an activated nonradiative process that depopulates the singlet state of the dye. As in the case of Cy3, the results of transient spectroscopy experiments are consistent with the formation of a photoisomer that reverts to the ground state thermally in the microsecond timescale. Unfortunately, experiments with DNA samples paint a more complex scenario. As in the case of Cy3, the fluorescence quantum yield of Dy-630 increases significantly when the dye interacts with the DNA bases, but in the case of Dy-630 attachment to DNA results in an already long fluorescence lifetime that does not provide a significant window for the protein-induced enhancement observed with Cy3. Although we show that Dy-630 may not be well-suited for PIFE, our results shed light on the optimal design principles for probes for PIFE applications.

Abstract
Cyanine dyes, as used in super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, undergo light-induced "blinking", enabling localization of fluorophores with spatial resolution beyond the optical diffraction limit. Despite a plethora of studies, the molecular origins of this blinking are not well understood. Here, we examine the photophysical properties of a bio-conjugate cyanine dye (AF-647), used extensively in dSTORM imaging. In the absence of a potent sacrificial reductant, light-induced electron transfer and intermediates formed via the metastable, triplet excited state are considered unlikely to play a significant role in the blinking events. Instead, it is found that, under conditions appropriate to dSTORM microscopy, AF-647 undergoes reversible photo-induced isomerization to at least two long-lived dark species. These photo-isomers are characterized spectroscopically and their interconversion probed by computational means. The first-formed isomer is light sensitive and transforms to a longer-lived species in modest yield that could be involved in dSTORM related blinking. Permanent photobleaching of AF-647 occurs with very low quantum yield and is partially suppressed by the anaerobic redox buffer.

Abstract
Spectral-fluorescent properties of polymethine dye probes anionic 3,3'-di(sulfopropyl)-4,5,4',5'-dibenzo-9-ethylthiacarbocyanine-betaine (DEC) and cationic 3,3',9-trimethylthiacarbocyanine iodide (Cyan 2) in the presence of biological surfactants, bile salts sodium cholate (NaC), sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) and sodium taurocholate (NaTC), as well as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), have been studied in a wide range of surfactant concentrations. When a surfactant is introduced into a solution of DEC, changes of the spectral-fluorescent properties are observed due to decomposition of dye dimers into cis-monomers and cis-trans conversion of the resulting monomers. In the presence of SDS, both processes occur in parallel, caused by noncovalent interaction of dye monomers with micelles, and mainly occur near the critical micelle concentration (CMC). In contrast, upon the introduction of increasing concentrations of bile salts, decomposition of dye dimers into the monomers begins at lower concentrations than cis-trans conversion. The former process is almost completed at concentrations close to CMC of secondary micelles (CMC2), while the latter process occurs even at concentrations of bile salts much higher than CMC2. Hence, DEC can serve as a probe that permits estimating the value of CMC2 and is indicative of reorganization of secondary micelles upon an increase in bile salt concentration. Aggregation of DEC and Cyan 2 on bile salts is also observed. Since it is observed at relatively low concentrations of bile salts (<CMC2), the aggregation probably occurs on monomeric molecules of bile salts and their small associates and primary micelles. Decomposition of the aggregates formed begins at concentrations of bile salts above CMC2 (that is, upon the interaction with secondary micelles).

Abstract
One of the important features of polymethine (cyanine) dyes is isomerization about one of C–C bonds of the polymethine chain. In this review, spectral properties of the isomers, photoisomer-ization and thermal back isomerization of carbocyanine dyes, mostly meso-substituted carbocy-anine dyes, are considered. meso-Alkyl-substituted thiacarbocyanine dyes are present in polar solvents mainly as cis isomers and, hence, exhibit no photoisomerization, whereas in nonpolar solvents, in which the dyes are in the trans form, photoisomerization takes place. In contrast, the meso-substituted dyes 3,3′-dimethyl-9-phenylthiacarbocyanine and 3,3′-diethyl-9-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)thiacarbocyanine occur as trans isomers and exhibit photoisomerization in both polar and nonpolar solvents. The behavior of these dyes may be ex-plained by the fact that the phenyl ring of the substituent in their molecules can be twisted at some angle, removing the substituent from the plane of the molecule and reducing its steric ef-fect on the conformation of the trans isomer. In some cases, photoisomerization of cis isomers of meso-substituted carbocyanine dyes is also observed (for some meso-alkyl-substituted dyes com-plexed with DNA and chondroitin-4-sulfate; for 3,3′-diethyl-9-methoxythiacarbocyanine in moderate polarity solvents). The cycle photoisomerization–thermal back isomerization of cya-nine dyes can be used in various systems of information storage and deserves further investiga-tion using modern research methods.

Abstract
Spectral-fluorescent and photochemical properties of meso-substituted thiacarbocyanine dyes 3,3'-dimethyl-9-phenylthiacarbocyanine and 3,3'-diethyl-9-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)thiacarbocyanine in solutions and their interaction with DNA were studied. The dyes form noncovalent complexes with DNA, which is accompanied by changes in the absorption spectra and an increase in the fluorescence intensity of the dyes. The data obtained suggest that the dyes are in the form of trans-isomers both in solvents of different polarity and in complexes with DNA. It was shown that the interaction of the dyes with DNA is a complex process involving monomeric dye molecules and aggregates of the dyes. The primary photochemical processes of the dyes in solutions and in complexes with DNA were studied by flash photolysis technique. Upon flash photoexcitation in solutions, the formation and decay of the photoisomers of the dyes were observed, with no generation of the triplet states. In the complex with DNA, no signal of photoisomers was detected; in the absence of oxygen, the formation of the triplet state of the dyes was observed. The decay kinetics of the triplet state of the dyes were two-exponential. The process of quenching of the triplet state of the dyes by oxygen in a complex with DNA was studied, the respective quenching rate constants were estimated, being lower than the diffusion-controlled value.

Abstract
Photophysical measurements are reported for Cy3-DNA constructs in which both Cy3 nitrogen atoms are attached to the DNA backbone by short linkers. While this linking was thought to rigidify the orientation of the dye and hinder cis-isomerization, the relatively low fluorescence quantum yield and the presence of a short component in the time-resolved fluorescence decay of the dye indicated that cis-isomerization remained possible. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and transient absorption experiments showed that photoisomerization occurred with high efficiency. Molecular dynamics simulations of the trans dye system indicated the presence of stacked and unstacked states, and free energy simulations showed that the barriers for stacking/unstacking were low. In addition, simulations showed that the ground cis state was feasible without DNA distortions. Based on these observations, a model is put forward in which the doubly linked dye can photoisomerize in the unstacked state.

Abstract
Symmetrical and unsymmetrical cyanine dyes are used in different applications due to their different fluorogenic behaviors toward bio-macromolecules and micro-environments. In the present paper, computational studies on these dyes reveal that the potential energy of the electronic excited state is controlled by C-C bond rotational motion, which causes mainly nonradiative deactivation, according to the activation energies for the rotation. The rotations of different C-C bonds in the molecules have quite different rotational activation energies. Symmetrical dyes (Cy) possess an obviously higher rotating energy barrier as well as a larger energy gap compared to unsymmetrical dyes (TO). The C-C bond rotation close to the quinoline moiety of unsymmetrical thiazole orange (TO) allows the dye to possess the lowest energy barrier and also the lowest energy gap. This rotation plays a major role in reducing fluorescence quantum yields and providing a low fluorescent background in the free states of the unsymmetrical cyanine dyes. The results might provide a foundation for the interpretation of the behavior of the dyes and are useful for the future design of new cyanine fluorophores.

Abstract
AbstractThe breakthroughs in single molecule spectroscopy of the last decade and the recent advances in super resolution microscopy have boosted the popularity of cyanine dyes in biophysical research. These applications have motivated the investigation of the reactions and relaxation processes that cyanines undergo in their electronically excited states. Studies show that the triplet state is a key intermediate in the photochemical reactions that limit the photostability of cyanine dyes. The removal of oxygen greatly reduces photobleaching, but induces rapid intensity fluctuations (blinking). The existence of non-fluorescent states lasting from milliseconds to seconds was early identified as a limitation in single-molecule spectroscopy and a potential source of artifacts. Recent studies demonstrate that a combination of oxidizing and reducing agents is the most efficient way of guaranteeing that the ground state is recovered rapidly and efficiently. Thiol-containing reducing agents have been identified as the source of long-lived dark states in some cyanines that can be photochemically switched back to the emissive state. The mechanism of this process is the reversible addition of the thiol-containing compound to a double bond in the polymethine chain resulting in a non-fluorescent molecule. This process can be reverted by irradiation at shorter wavelengths. Another mechanism that leads to non-fluorescent states in cyanine dyes is cis–trans isomerization from the singlet-excited state. This process, which competes with fluorescence, involves the rotation of one-half of the molecule with respect to the other with an efficiency that depends strongly on steric effects. The efficiency of fluorescence of most cyanine dyes has been shown to depend dramatically on their molecular environment within the biomolecule. For example, the fluorescence quantum yield of Cy3 linked covalently to DNA depends on the type of linkage used for attachment, DNA sequence and secondary structure. Cyanines linked to the DNA termini have been shown to be mostly stacked at the end of the helix, while cyanines linked to the DNA internally are believed to partially bind to the minor or major grooves. These interactions not only affect the photophysical properties of the probes but also create a large uncertainty in their orientation.

Abstract
By use of electrostatic interactions of dye molecules and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA), the spin-coating technique has been successfully applied to the preparation of stable J-aggregate thin films of thiacarbocyanine dyes on a polycarbonate or quartz plate. The J-aggregate thin films were prepared by the spin-coating of PDDA aqueous solution on dye thin films prepared on a substrate by the spin-coating of 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propanol solution of dyes. Photophysical properties of the dye thin films and J-aggregate thin films were studied by measuring the fluorescence spectra, quantum yields, and lifetimes. Coherent size of the J-aggregates was estimated to be 3-12 by means of the absorption bandwidth (full width at half maximum) or radiative lifetime. Photostability of the J-aggregate thin films was also studied in terms of photodegradation efficiency under argon and oxygen in comparison with the dye thin films, and J-aggregate thin films were found to be more stable than the corresponding dye thin films.

Abstract
The effects of ribonuclease A (RNase), lysozyme, trypsin, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the J-aggregation behavior of 3,3'-bis[sulfopropyl]-5-methoxy-4',5'-benzo-9-ethylthiacarbocyanine (1), 3,3'-bis[sulfopropyl]-4,5,4',5'-dibenzo-9-ethylthiacarbocyanine (2), and 3,3'-bis[sulfopropyl]-5,5'-dimethoxy-9-ethylthiacarbocyanine (3) were studied in aqueous solution. The formation of J-aggregates at pH 6 is induced by RNase for 1-3, by lysozyme for 1 and 2, and by trypsin for 2. The formation of J-aggregates correlates with decay of the dimers and is supported by induced circular dichroism spectra. The concentration of J-aggregates for lysozyme/1 increases with an increase in the protein/dye concentration ratio, reaches a plateau, and then gradually decreases. J-aggregates are characterized by relatively weak fluorescence; e.g., Phi(f) = 0.01 for lysozyme/1, and by a small Stokes shift of 6-8 nm, indicating almost resonance fluorescence. J-aggregation proceeds in the range of seconds to minutes with sigmoidal type kinetic curves for trypsin/2 and nonsigmoidal kinetics in the other cases. The presence of BSA, in contrast to RNase, lysozyme, and trypsin, results in deaggregation of dimers of 1-3 and formation of bound monomers and exhibits intense fluorescence from the trans-monomer; e.g., Phi(f) = 0.22 for BSA/1. Generally, the binding of 1-3 to the proteins is a cooperative process, where the number of binding sites changes from n = 15 for lysozyme/1 to n = 6 for trypsin/2 and n = 0.3 and 1 for BSA/3.

Abstract
The interactions of three cyanine dyes, which exhibit different meso substituent in polymethine chain, with human serum albumin (HSA) have been investigated by the means of absorption, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. In phosphate buffer solution (PBS), the mentioned dyes exist not as isolated monomers but rather in the formation of J-aggregation. In the presence of HSA, the absorption and fluorescence emission spectra indicated that the J-aggregation was decomposed to monomer because of the strong affinity between dye molecules and HSA. Besides the association of cyanine dyes with HSA, binding to HSA gave rise to the J-aggregation CD signals. The meso substituent in the polymethine plays an important role in the interaction of HSA and the J-aggregation. Spectral studies showed that the dye bound with HSA in a 1:1 formation. The apparent constant (K(a)) value was roughly identified by analysis of the corresponding fluorescence data at various HSA concentrations. The higher affinity of the molecule with meso phenyl towards HSA with respect to molecules with meso ethyl or methyl can be attributed to the arrangement of molecules in J-aggregation and the hydrophobic force between the molecules and HSA.

Abstract
Several important photophysical properties of the cyanine dye Cy3 have been determined by laser flash photolysis. The triplet-state absorption and photoisomerization of Cy3 are distinguished by using the heavy-atom effects and oxygen-induced triplet --> triplet energy transfer. Furthermore, the triplet-state extinction coefficient and quantum yield of Cy3 are also measured via triplet-triplet energy-transfer method and comparative actinometry, respectively. It is found that the triplet --> triplet (T1-->Tn) absorptions of trans-Cy3 largely overlap the ground-state absorption of cis-Cy3. Unlike what occurred in Cy5, we have not observed the triplet-state T1-->Tn absorption of cis-Cy3 and the phosphorescence from triplet state of cis-Cy3 following a singlet excitation (S0-S1) of trans-Cy3, indicating the absence of a lowest cis-triplet state as an isomerization intermediate upon excitation in Cy3. The detailed spectra of Cy3 reported in this paper could help us interpret the complicated photophysics of cyanine dyes.
