A stiff-stilbene-linked bisporphyrin tweezer with inherent helicity was used for exciton-coupled circular dichroism (ECCD) characterization of a series of monotopically binding amine guest molecules. CD signals were observed for a variety of monoamines at relatively low tweezer/amine (host/guest) ratios between 1 : 10 to 1 : 70. For the amines producing the most intense CD signals, a binding stoichiometry of 1 : 2 was found. A likely explanation is the presence of guest-guest interactions in the complexes. This is supported by the correlation observed between CD signal intensity and magnitude of possible noncovalent binding between the guests, which can be divided into three groups showing no, moderate and strong response, respectively. Further support for this rationalization comes from molecular modelling.

This study investigated the applicability of fluorescent chromophores for exciton-coupled circular dichroism (ECCD) exploiting fluorescence-detected circular dichroism (FDCD). FDCD had been previously reported useful in allowing the sensitive detection of ECCD in favorable conditions. However, fluorescence detection may prevent applications of the combined method especially when solutions are polarized in emission.

Some achiral cyanine dyes form well-ordered chiral assemblies exhibiting pronounced Circular Dichroism (CD) and Circularly Polarized Luminescence (CPL). Notably, achiral C8O3 cyanines self-assemble into tubular J-aggregates, which further organize into bundles displaying bisignate CD spectrum - hallmark of an exciton coupled system - and an unusual bisignated CPL. In contrast, the tubular aggregates display a monosignate CD spectrum.

Advances in genome sequencing and bioinformatics methods have identified a myriad of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encoding uncharacterized molecules. By mining genomes for BGCs containing a prevalent peptide-binding domain used for the biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), we uncovered a new compound class involving modifications installed by a cytochrome P450, a multinuclear iron-dependent non-heme oxidative enzyme (MNIO, formerly DUF692), a cobalamin- and radical -adenosyl-l-methionine-dependent enzyme (B12-rSAM), and a methyltransferase. All enzymes were functionally expressed in sp.

Zinc 3-hydroxymethyl-pyroprotopheophorbides-a esterified with a chiral secondary alcohol at the 17-propionate residue were prepared as bacteriochlorophyll-d analogs. The synthetic zinc 3-hydroxy-13-oxo-porphyrins self-aggregated in an aqueous Triton X-100 micellar solution to give red-shifted and broadened Soret and Qy absorption bands in comparison with their monomeric bands. The intense, exciton-coupled circular dichroism spectra of their self-aggregates were dependent on the chirality of the esterifying groups.

Study of the conformational and mechanical behaviors of biomolecular assemblies is vital to the rational design and realization of artificial molecular architectures with biologically relevant functionality. Here, we revealed DNA-modulated and mechanoresponsive excitonic couplings between organic chromophores and verified strong correlations between the excitonic chiroptical responses and the conformational and mechanical states of DNA self-assemblies irrespective of fluorescence background interference. Besides, the excitonic chiroptical effect allowed sensitive monitoring of DNA self-assembled nanostructures due to small molecule bindings or DNA strand displacement reactions.
