Abstract
Noncovalent and covalent methods of labeling protein with near-infrared polymethine cyanine dyes were compared for use in analyzing human serum albumin (HSA) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with near-infrared absorbance detection. While noncovalent labeling was faster than covalent labeling and took place in the physiological pH range, covalent labeling was more stable under conditions encountered in many of the widely used types of HPLC. Covalently labeled HSA protein peaks indicated uniform labeling of amino groups at both hydrophilic and hydrophobic binding sites, while noncovalent labeling showed a preference for hydrophobic binding sites.

Synthesis and In Vivo Fate of Zwitterionic Near-Infrared Fluorophores

TL;DR: A longstanding problem in the field of image-guided surgery is the development of ideal near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores, and several classes of novel molecules have been described but none to date exhibit simultaneous low background binding, bifunctionality, excellent optical properties, low protein binding, and high serum stability.

Organic alternatives to quantum dots for intraoperative near-infrared fluorescent sentinel lymph node mapping.

TL;DR: A family of 800 nm organic heptamethine indocyanine-based contrast agents for SLN mapping spanning a spectrum from 775 Da small molecules to 7 MDa nanocolloids are described and one contrast agent emerged as the molecule with the best overall performance with respect to entry to lymphatics, flow to the SLN, retention in theSLN, fluorescence yield and reproducibility.

“Vapochromic” Compounds as Environmental Sensors. 2. Synthesis and Near-Infrared and Infrared Spectroscopy Studies of [Pt(arylisocyanide)4][Pt(CN)4] upon Exposure to Volatile Organic Compound Vapors

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis, characterization, and vis−NIR−IR vapochromic/spectroscopic studies are reported for isocyanide compounds of the form [Pt(arylisocyanides)4][Pt (CN)4] (where arylisocide = p-CNC6H4CnH2n+1; n = 1, 6, 10, 12, 14).

Noncovalent labeling of biomolecules with red and near- infrared dyes.

TL;DR: The applications of luminescent cyanine and squarylium dyes are reviewed and the main advantage of noncovalent labeling is that it affects the functional activity of the biomolecule to a lesser extent.

Continuous separation of high molecular weight compounds using a microliter volume free-flow electrophoresis microstructure.

TL;DR: Study of the resolution of bradykinin and ribonuclease A as a function of field strength at various sample and carrier flow rates indicated that, for maximum throughput, high field strengths and high flow rates were required, however, no optimal conditions were found.

Solvophobic interactions in liquid chromatography with nonpolar stationary phases

TL;DR: In this article, the solvophobic theory of solvent interaction with non-polar stationary phases in liquid chromatography is examined on the basis of solvophobia theory and a detailed analysis of the effect of the solvent on this process yields an expression for the capacity factor with essentially no adjustable constants.

Three-dimensional structure of human serum albumin.

TL;DR: The three-dimensional structure of human serum albumin has been solved at 6.0 angstrom (A) resolution by the method of multiple isomorphous replacement and revealed the structure as a predominantly alpha-helical globin protein in which the course of the polypeptide can be traced.

Molecular structure of the human albumin gene is revealed by nucleotide sequence within q11-22 of chromosome 4.

TL;DR: The human albumin gene spans 16,961 nucleotides from the putative "Cap" site to the first poly(A) addition site and appears to have been recently invaded by Alu repetitive sequences.

Binding of bilirubin to human serum albumin - determination of the dissociation constants.

TL;DR: The binding of bilirubin to serum albumin has been known for more than fifty years, but the affinity is high and it has not been possible to determine the dissociation constant, since a sensitive method for measuring the very low concentrations of non-bound bilirUBin has not be available.
