Abstract

Ultrafast time-resolved resonance Raman spectra of carbonmonoxy hemoglobin (Hb), nitroxy Hb, and deoxy Hb are compared to determine excited state decay mechanisms for both ligated and unligated hemes. Transient absorption and Raman data provide evidence for a sequential photophysical relaxation pathway common to both ligated and unligated forms of Hb* (photolyzed heme), in which the excited state 1Q decays sequentially: 1Q-->Hb*I-->Hb*II-->Hb ground state. Consistent with the observed kinetics, the lifetimes of these states are <50 fs, approximately 300 fs, and approximately 3 ps for 1Q, Hb*I, and Hb*II, respectively. The transient absorption data support the hypothesis that the Hb*I state results from an ultrafast iron-to-porphyrin ring charge transfer process. The Hb*II state arises from porphyrin ring-to-iron back charge transfer to produce a porphyrin ground state configuration a nonequilibrium iron d-orbital population. Equatorial d-pi* back-bonding of the heme iron to the porphyrin during the lifetime of the Hb*II state accounts for the time-resolved resonance Raman shifts on the approximately 3 ps time scale. The proposed photophysical pathway suggests that iron-to-ring charge transfer is the key event in the mechanism o...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
