Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and Quantification of Tightly Bound Zn2+ in Blood Serum Using a Photocaged Chelator and a DNAzyme Fluorescent Sensor.
Shige Xing,Yao Lin,Yao Lin,Liangyuan Cai,Prem N. Basa,Austin K. Shigemoto,Chengbin Zheng,Feng Zhang,Shawn C. Burdette,Yi Lu +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a photocaged chelator, XDPAdeCage, was used to extract the Zn2+ from the blood serum and then released the chelated Zn 2+ into a buffer using 365 nm light for quantification by an 8-17 DNAzyme sensor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermolecular approach to metal ion indicators based on polymer phase transitions coupled to fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
Shaojun Yao,Aaron M. Jones,Jie Du,Randy K. Jackson,Justin O. Massing,Daniel P. Kennedy,Nicholas E. Bencivenga,Roy P. Planalp,Shawn C. Burdette,W. Rudolf Seitz +9 more
TL;DR: The selectivity for Cu(II) is consistent with the literature values for 1 : 1 formation constants for bipyridine with metal ions, and the copolymer responds to higher concentrations of other transition metal ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Following the Ca2+ roadmap to photocaged complexes for Zn2+ and beyond
TL;DR: Using the roadmap provided by Ca(2+) predecessors, it is described how new photocaged complexes are being developed, and some of the obstacles that must be overcome to investigate an emerging area in metal ion biology with different requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Buffering Heavy Metal Ions with Photoactive CrownCast Cages
Hannah W. Mbatia,Daniel P. Kennedy,Casey E. Camire,Christopher D. Incarvito,Shawn C. Burdette +4 more
TL;DR: A turn-on fluorescence sensor for Pb 2+ that couples the A18C6 ligand with a 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) fluorophore was synthesized and initial spectroscopic investigations suggest the uncaged ligand binds P b 2+ with higher affinity than the parent cage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emissive Azobenzenes Delivered on a Silver Coordination Polymer
Jingjing Yan,Liam Wilbraham,Prem N. Basa,Mischa Schüttel,John C. MacDonald,Ilaria Ciofini,François-Xavier Coudert,Shawn C. Burdette +7 more
TL;DR: AzoAE pP (2,2'-bis[ N,N'-(4-pyridyl)ethyl]diaminoazobenzene) assembles into a three-dimensional coordination polymer that undergoes a reversible loss of emission upon the addition of metal-coordinating analytes such as pyridine.
