Application of a europium complex, Eu(AA)3phen (AA=acrylic acid, phen=1,10-phenanthroline) as a spectroscopic probe and cleaving reagent of DNA.

A complex Eu(AA)3phen was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and (1)H NMR. Interaction between Eu(AA)3phen and DNA was studied by UV/visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectrophotometer, circular-dichroism (CD) spectra and gel-electrophoresis measurements. Absorption spectral indicated that Eu(AA)3phen binding to DNA was an electrostatic mode, which was authenticated by the effect of ionic strength, thermal denaturation and fluorescence quenching experiments.

Study on the Langmuir aggregation of sodium octanesulfonate on human serum albumin.

The microphase adsorption-spectral correction (MPASC) technique was described and applied to the study of the interactions of sodium octanesulfonate (SOS) with human serum albumin (HSA). The aggregation SOS obeys the Langmuir monolayer adsorption. The results show the adsorption ratio of sodium octanesulfonate to HSA is SOS:HSA=18:1.

Detection of DNA using cationic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanoparticles as the probe by resonance light scattering technique.

A novel cationic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanoparticle (cationic POSS) was synthesized and successfully used as a new probe for the detection of DNA by resonance light scattering technique (RLS). It was found that the electrostatic interaction of cationic POSS and DNA could obviously enhance the RLS signal, the enhanced RLS intensity at 360 nm was proportional to the concentration of nucleic acids within the range of 0.35-42.

[Synthesis of mixed complexes of lanthanum with 2,2-bipyridyl and 1,10-phenanthroline and study of the interaction of the complexes with DNA].

A mixed complex of La with 2,2-bipyridyl (dpy) and 1,10-phenanthroline(phen) was synthesized. Elemental analysis, IR and TGA of the complex were investigated, thus it was proved that the conformation of it was La(dpy)(phen)Cl3. The interaction of the complex with DNA has been studied also.

[Determination of DNA by fluorimetry with flow injection].

A highly sensitive fluorimetry determination of DNA is developed in this paper. The maximum fluorescence intensity was produced in the pH 3.05, with the maximum excitation and emission wavelength of 362 and 531 nm, respectively.
