Raising the Bar for Real-World Data in Oncology: Approaches to Quality Across Multiple Dimensions.

Purpose: Electronic health record (EHR)-based real-world data (RWD) are integral to oncology research, and understanding fitness for use is critical for data users. Complexity of data sources and curation methods necessitate transparency into how quality is approached. We describe the application of data quality dimensions in curating EHR-derived oncology RWD.

Resolution of low-energy chlorophylls in Photosystem I of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 at 77 and 295 K through fluorescence excitation anisotropy.

Fluorescence excitation spectra of highly anisotropic emission from Photosystem I (PS I) were measured at 295 and 77 K on a PS II-less mutant of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (S. 6803).

Temperature dependence and polarization of fluorescence from Photosystem I in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

To determine the fluorescence properties of cyanobacterial Photosystem I (PS I) in relatively intact systems, fluorescence emission from 20 to 295 K and polarization at 77 K have been measured from phycobilisomes-less thylakoids of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and a mutant strain lacking Photosystem II (PS II). At 295 K, the fluorescence maxima are 686 nm in the wild type from PS I and PS II and at 688 nm from PS I in the mutant.

Energy transfer kinetics in whole cells and isolated chlorosomes of green photosynthetic bacteria.

Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and global data analysis techniques have been used to study the flow of excitations in antennae of the green photosynthetic bacteria Chloroflexus aurantiacus and Chlorobium vibrioforme f. thiosulfatophilum. The transfer of energy from bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c in Chloroflexus or BChl d in Chlorobium to BChl a 795 was resolved in both whole cells and isolated chlorosomes.

Picosecond time-resolved fluorescence from detergent-free photosystem I particles.

Picosecond time-resolved fluorescence measurements have been taken on a detergent-free P700-enriched complex at room temperature isolated from the blue-green alga Phormidium luridum with a chlorophyll a to reaction center ratio of 100. Emission at greater than 665 nm is characterized by two exponential-decay components. A fast component, which dominates the initial decay with an average lifetime of 16 ps and 87% amplitude, is attributed to excitations in the core antenna chlorophyll-proteins, which are rapidly trapped by the primary electron donor, P700.
