Abstract
In this work, we used firefly oxyluciferin (OxyLH2) and its polarity-dependent fluorescence mechanism as a sensitive tool to monitor biomolecular interactions. The chromophores, OxyLH2, and its two analogues, 4-MeOxyLH and 4,6'-DMeOxyL, were modified trough carboxylic functionalization and then coupled to the N-terminus part of Tat and NCp7 peptides of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1). The photophysical properties of the labeled peptides were studied in live cells as well as in complex with different oligonucleotides in solution. By monitoring the emission properties of these derivatives we were able, for the first time, to study in vitro biomolecular interactions using oxyluciferin as a sensor. As an additional application, cyclopropyl-oxyluciferin (5,5-Cpr-OxyLH) was site-specifically conjugated to the thiol group (Cys-232) of the human protein α-1 antytripsin to investigate its interaction with porcine pancreatic elastase. Our data demonstrate that OxyLH2 and its derivatives can be used as fluorescence reporters for monitoring biomolecular interactions.

Abstract
Fluorescence methods allow one to monitor protein conformational changes, protein–protein associations, and proteolysis in real time, at the single molecule level and in living cells. The information gained in such experiments is a function of the spectroscopic techniques used and the strategic placement of fluorophore labels within the protein structure. There is often a trade-off between size and utility for fluorophores, whereby large size can be disruptive to the protein’s fold or function, but valuable characteristics, such as visible wavelength absorption and emission or brightness, require sizable chromophores. Three major types of fluorophore readouts are commonly used: (1) Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET); (2) photoinduced electron transfer (PET); and (3) environmental sensitivity. This review focuses on those probes small enough to be incorporated into proteins during ribosomal translation, which allows the probes to be placed on the interiors of proteins as they are folded during synthesis. The most broadly useful method for doing so is site-specific unnatural amino acid (UAA) mutagenesis. We discuss the use of UAA probes in applications relying on FRET, PET, and environmental sensitivity. We also briefly review other methods of protein labelling and compare their relative merits to UAA mutagenesis. Finally, we discuss small probes that have thus far been used only in synthetic peptides, but which have unusual value and may be candidates for incorporation using UAA methods.

Abstract
Charge and proton transfer reactions in the excited states of organic dyes can be coupled in many different ways. Despite the complementarity of charges, they can occur on different time scales and in different directions of the molecular framework. In certain cases, excited-state equilibrium can be established between the charge-transfer and proton-transfer species. The interplay of these reactions can be modulated and even reversed by variations in dye molecular structures and changes of the surrounding media. With knowledge of the mechanisms of these processes, desired rates and directions can be achieved, and thus the multiple emission spectral features can be harnessed. These features have found versatile applications in a number of cutting-edge technological areas, particularly in fluorescence sensing and imaging.

Abstract
Monitoring biomolecular interactions is a fundamental issue in biosensing, with numerous applications ranging from biological research to clinical diagnostics. Fluorescent dyes capable of changing their color and brightness in response to changes of their environment properties, the so-called environment-sensitive dyes, have recently emerged as reporters of these interactions. The most well established of these are dyes that undergo excited-state charge transfer showing red shift of their single emission band with increase in the solvent polarity. The other promising class are dyes of the 3-hydroxychromone family that undergo excited-state intramolecular proton transfer and show solvent-sensitive dual emission. Examples of existing solvatochromic dyes and their biosensing applications are given, with particular focus on the 3-hydroxychromones. It is shown that solvatochromic dyes are powerful tools for monitoring conformation changes of proteins and their interactions with nucleic acids, proteins, and lipid membranes.

Abstract
By using four labels of the 3-hydroxyflavone family displaying selective sensitivity to hydrogen bond (HB) donors and poor response to other polar molecules, we developed an approach for measuring local water concentration [H(2)O](L) (or partial volume of water: W(A) = [H(2)O](L)/55.6) in the label surrounding both in solvent mixtures and in biomolecules by the intensity ratio of two emissive forms of the label, N*/T*. Using a series of binary water/solvent mixtures with limited preferential solvation effects, a linear dependence of log(N*/T*) on the local concentration of HB donor was obtained and then used as a calibration curve for estimating the W(A) values in the surroundings of the probes conjugated to biomolecules. By this approach, we estimated the hydration of the labels in different peptides and their complexes with DNAs. We found that W(A) values for the label at the peptide N-terminus are lower (0.63-0.91) than for free labels and depend strongly on the nature of the N-terminal amino acid. When complexed with different DNAs, the estimated hydration of the labels conjugated to the labeled peptides was much lower (W(A) = 0-0.47) and depended on the DNA nature and linker-label structure. Thus, the elaborated method allows a site-specific evaluation of hydration at the surface of a biomolecule through the determination of the partial volume of water. We believe the developed procedure can be successfully applied for monitoring hydration at the surface of any biomolecule or nanostructure.
