In this research, we have fabricated micron-sized patterns of porphyrins on silicon substrates using an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing technique. Optical and fluorescence microscopies have been used to examine the shape and fluorescence property of porphyrin patterns. The morphology of the porphyrin patterns printed with variously formulated porphyrin inks and the effects of applied voltage, working distance, and substrate properties on the morphology of patterns were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). We have also demonstrated the acid-vapor sensing capability of the porphyrins by exposing the porphyrin patterns on Si substrates to nitric acid vapor.

A Ratiometric Fluorescence Method Based on PCN-224-DABA for the Detection of Se(IV) and Fe(III).

In this study, 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) was introduced into the porphyrin metal-organic framework (PCN-224) for the first time to prepare a ratiometric fluorescent probe (PCN-224-DABA) to quantitatively detect ferric iron (Fe(III)) and selenium (IV) (Se(IV)). The fluorescence attributed to the DABA of PCN-224-DABA at 345 nm can be selectively quenched by Fe(III) and Se(IV), but the fluorescence emission peak attributed to tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) at 475 nm will not be disturbed. Therefore, the ratio of I/I with an excitation wavelength of 270 nm can be designed to determine Fe(III) and Se(IV).

Metalloporphyrins have been widely utilized as building blocks for molecular self-assembly in organic solvents, but their application in water is less common due to competition from water molecules for the metal center. However, Co(III) metalloporphyrins are notable for their strong binding to two aromatic amine ligands in aqueous buffers. In this study, we present a comprehensive investigation of the binding behavior of Co(III) tetraphenyl sulfonic acid porphyrin with selected aromatic and aliphatic amines in aqueous solution.

We analyze the internal conversion dynamics within the and excited states of both bare and functionalized porphyrins, which are known to exhibit significantly different time constants experimentally. Through the integration of two complementary approaches, static calculation of per-mode reorganization energies and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics, we achieve a comprehensive understanding of the factors determining the different behavior of the two molecules. We identify the key normal and essential modes responsible for the population transfer between excited states and discuss the efficacy of different statistical and nonstatistical analyses in providing a full physics-based description of the phenomenon.

Animal gastrointestinal tracts contain diverse metabolites, including various host-derived compounds that gut-associated microbes interact with. Here, we explore the diversity and evolution of bilirubin reductase, a bacterial enzyme that metabolizes the host-derived tetrapyrrole bilirubin, performing a key role in the animal heme degradation pathway. Through an analysis of the bilirubin reductase phylogeny and predicted structures, we found that the enzyme family can be divided into three distinct clades with different structural features.

Thermodynamic analysis of the binding process of water-soluble negatively charged -tetrakis(-sulfonatophenyl) (TPPS) and positively charged -tetrakis(4-methylpyridyl) (TMPyP) porphyrins with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at different temperatures was carried out based on the data of BSA quenching fluorescence by porphyrins. The comparison of binding constants ( ) shows that negatively charged TPPS possesses higher affinity to BSA than positively charged TMPyP. Thermodynamic characteristics of the binding process were obtained in accordance with the van't Hoff theory by processing nonlinear dependences of ln on inverse absolute temperature within the framework of two models: taking into account the dependence or independence of the change in the standard heat capacity (Δ ) on temperature.
