Journal ArticleDOI
The photoprotector mechanism of mycosporine-like amino acids. Excited-state properties and photostability of porphyra-334 in aqueous solution.
TL;DR: The photostability and photophysical parameters of an aqueous solution of the mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA) porphyra-334 have been determined and the photoprotective role assigned to this MAA in living systems is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combination of laser-induced optoacoustic spectroscopy (LIOAS) and semiempirical calculations for the determination of molecular volume changes : the photoisomerization of carbocyanines
TL;DR: In this paper, the volume change for the E-Z photoisomerization reaction of the 3,3'-diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide (DODCI) at 562 nm, and the 3-3-diethloxacarbocynine iodides (DOCI) at 460 nm were determined in ethanol-water mixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental study of the excited-state properties and photostability of the mycosporine-like amino acid palythine in aqueous solution
Federico Rubén Conde,María Sandra Churio,María Sandra Churio,Carlos M. Previtali,Carlos M. Previtali +4 more
TL;DR: A comparison of the photodegradation quantum yields and photophysical properties of palythine with those previously determined for the other mycosporine-like amino acids, shinorine and porphyra-334, suggests that geometrical isomerization around the C=N bond may contribute to the rapid deactivation of this group of molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photochemical energy storage and volume changes in the microsecond time range in bacterial photosynthesis — a laser induced optoacoustic study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used laser-induced optoacoustic spectroscopy between 4 and 25 °C to study Rhodobacter sphaeroides reaction centers and derived the heat released within ca. 1 μs of the laser pulse and the concomitant volume changes occurring upon molecular movements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterioruberin extracts from a genetically modified hyperpigmented Haloferax volcanii strain: antioxidant activity and bioactive properties on sperm cells
Lucia Zalazar,P. Pagola,M. V. Miró,María Sandra Churio,Micaela Cerletti,Carmen María Lacasa Martínez,María Iniesta-Cuerda,Ana J. Soler,Andreina Cesari,R. E. De Castro +9 more
TL;DR: To examine the antioxidant activity of Bacterioruberin (Bctr)‐rich extracts isolated from a hyperpigmented, genetically modified Haloferax volcanii strain (HVLON3) and to investigate the effect on cold‐sensitive ram sperm cells.
