Journal ArticleDOI
Excited-state proton transfer: from constrained systems to "super" photoacids to superfast proton transfer.
TL;DR: This work has used knowledge of the electronic structure of excited states of acids to design molecules that exhibit enhanced excited-state acidity and are the strongest reversible photoacids known.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solvatochromism of the Green Fluorescence Protein Chromophore and Its Derivatives
TL;DR: The nature of the absorption peak of the protonated and deprotonated forms of the wild-type GFP is discussed, using UV-vis-absorption spectroscopy in a wide array of solvents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conformationally Locked Chromophores as Models of Excited-State Proton Transfer in Fluorescent Proteins
Mikhail S. Baranov,Konstantin A. Lukyanov,Alexandra O. Borissova,Jordan Shamir,Dmytro Kosenkov,Lyudmila V. Slipchenko,Laren M. Tolbert,Ilia V. Yampolsky,Kyril M. Solntsev +8 more
TL;DR: The synthesis and photochemical study of two highly fluorescent GFP chromophore analogues reveals their high photoacidity, which makes them good models of intermolecular ESPT in fluorescent proteins and a first example of "super"photoacidity in metal-organic complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photochemistry of “Super” Photoacids. 2. Excited-State Proton Transfer in Methanol/Water Mixtures
TL;DR: In this article, the time-resolved fluorescence data fit the solution of the Debye−Smoluchowski equation for the reversible geminate recombination of ions over the whole range of methanol/water concentration ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topochemistry and Photomechanical Effects in Crystals of Green Fluorescent Protein-like Chromophores: Effects of Hydrogen Bonding and Crystal Packing
Panče Naumov,Janusz Kowalik,Kyril M. Solntsev,Anthony Baldridge,Jong Seok Moon,Christine Kranz,Laren M. Tolbert +6 more
TL;DR: The meta-hydroxy chromophore (3-HOBDI) was the only GFP-chromophore analogue that was obtained as more than one stable polymorph in the pure state thus far and appears as a photomechanical effect of unprecedented magnitude for a single crystalline specimen, where photoexcited single crystals bend to more than 90 degrees without breaking.
