Changes in the concentration and spectral absorption of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) may strongly condition the optical properties of tropical and subtropical water bodies. We examined the spatial distribution of CDOM-related absorption, spectral slope and vertical attenuation of solar radiation in two shallow lakes in the Esteros del Iberá wetland system. In situ measurements were made to examine spatial variations in photobleaching yields in natural lake conditions. The results showed that "fresh" allochthonous CDOM is more susceptible to phototransformations than either "aged" allochthonous organic matter or autochthonous sources, if the distances from sources are considered as proxies for residence time. Based on measured changes in absorption spectral slope in relation to solar ultraviolet irradiance, a model was developed which used CDOM as a non-conservative tracer of water masses. Spatial changes in CDOM absorption within the lake were then used to compare photo related transformations to those associated with conservative mixing.

Article Synopsis
- - Single-molecule photobleaching analysis allows researchers to study how membrane proteins form oligomers by attaching a fluorophore to individual protein subunits, but accurate quantification requires careful consideration of labeling efficiency and background noise.
- - A common method for labeling involved attaching a fluorophore to cysteine residues, although its effectiveness can vary based on the protein's structure and environment.
- - The authors developed a systematic approach to evaluate potential cysteine labeling sites on two specific membrane proteins, ultimately finding that only about 30% of the originally chosen sites were effective for their analysis despite initial hypotheses.*

Red-emitting fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have garnered significant attention due to their wide-ranging applications in biological fields. However, challenges such as complex precursors, labor-intensive preparation processes, and low quantum yields have hindered their broader utilization. In this study, we developed a simple and efficient solvothermal method to synthesize fluorescent CDs with tunable emission wavelengths using aniline derivatives as precursors.

Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) are widely used in the realm of latent fingerprint visualization owing to their luminosity and resistance to photobleaching. However, challenges such as significant background interference and limited resolution hinder their rapid advancement. Consequently, there is a pressing need to improve the detailed visualization of latent fingerprint (LFP) imaging, particularly for analyzing level 3 details.
