A fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) based on a monoclonal antibody for the detection of parathion-methyl (PM) was developed and optimized. Fluorescein-labeled PM derivatives (tracers) with different structures were synthesized and purified by thin-layer chromatography. The influence of immunogen and tracer structures on the assay characteristics was investigated. PM concentration determinable by the FPIA ranged from 25 to 10000 ppb. The detection limit was 15 ppb. Methanol extracts of vegetable, fruit, and soil samples were diluted 1/10 for the analysis. Recovery in spiked samples averaged between 85 and 110%. The method developed is characterized by high specificity and reproducibility (CV ranged from 1.5 to 9.1% for interassay and from 1.8 to 14.1% for intra-assay). The FPIA method can be applied to the screening of food and environmental samples for PM residues without complicated cleanup.

We present a comprehensive spectroscopic study supported by theoretical quantum chemical calculations conducted on a molecular system (4-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol (C1) and the antibiotic Amphotericin B (AmB)) that exhibits highly synergistic properties. We previously reported the strong synergism of this molecular system and now wish to present related stationary measurements of UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence, and fluorescence anisotropy in a polar, aprotic solvent (DMSO and a PBS buffer), followed by time-resolved fluorescence intensity and anisotropy decay studies using different ratios of the selected 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivative to Amphotericin B. Absorption spectra measured for the system revealed discrepancies in terms of the shapes of absorption bands, particularly in PBS.

Circularly polarized multiple-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-MR-TADF) materials have received widespread attention in recent years, but it remains a formidable challenge to design high-performance CP-MR-TADF emitters concurrently exhibiting high quantum efficiency, narrowband emission, and high dissymmetry factor (). Here, we perform an in-depth theoretical investigation on the CP-MR-TADF materials based on [2.2] paracyclophane (pCp) derivatives.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with highly malignant and aggressive, still faces challenges in treatment due to the single treatment and side effects. It is urgent to develop an advanced theranostic platform against TNBC. Herein, an "all-in-one" nano-system Au/Cu nanodots/doxorubicin@nanospheres (Au/CuNDs/DOX@NS) with dual-responsive properties was designed for dual-mode imaging-guided combination treatment of TNBC.

Destructive dressing polarization quantization is exhibited in fluorescence (FL) for narrowband signals, while constructive dominant dressing quantization is exhibited in fluorescence (FL) for broadband signals due to phase perturbation. Furthermore, constructive polarization quantization results due to coexistence of generation and dressing effects in strong and competitive Rabi frequency.

The Ebola virus, a filovirus, has been responsible for significant human fatalities since its discovery. Despite extensive research, effective small-molecule drugs remain elusive due to its complex pathogenesis. Inhibition of RNA synthesis is a promising therapeutic target, and the VP30 protein plays a critical role in this process.
