Article Abstract
Fluorescence enhancement of fluorophores in neat solvent media in the presence of graphene oxide (GO) is less known. It is necessary to re-examine the role of GO from the fundamental scientific viewpoint. Herein, we have reported GO controlled conversion from the neutral to cationic form of a red emitting molecule. Besides this, the switching of the role of GO as an enhancer to a quencher of fluorescence depending on the concentration of GO in the presence of proton accepting solvent media was established. Intermolecular proton transfer from the GO surface to fluorophores is responsible for this phenomenon.

Lutein is a plant pigment beneficial for eye health and for preventing retinal-related diseases. However, lutein is unstable, with low oral bioavailability. In this study, lutein fromwas loaded into cubosome lipid nanocarriers, both neutral (lutein-MO) and cationic (lutein-MO-DOTAP); the release, stability, and retinal penetration of the drug were improved.

Rationale: Electrospray (ESI), the most popular desorption/ionization technique used in mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, generates both protonated and deprotonated molecules, as well as adduct ions, sodium being the most frequent monoatomic cation entering their composition. With the spread and generalization of untargeted data-dependent and independent tandem mass spectrometry experiments, considering product ion spectra of sodium-containing entities appears relevant to complement fragmentation information of their protonated and deprotonated counterparts.
Methods: Solutions of pure standards, mainly amino and organic acids, were prepared at 1 μg/mL and injected either by direct infusion or by flow-injection prior to ESI-MS/MS analysis.

Phosphorus(V)-centered porphyrins (P(V)-porphyrins) are an important class of functional dyes in many fields of research, and axial ligands on the phosphorus atom affect the electronic properties of P(V)-porphyrins and add functions. Herein, we report on the synthesis and characterization of a hitherto unknown P(V)-porphyrin having hydrogen atoms as axial ligands (1·PF , PF is a counter anion). Synthesis of 1·PF was achieved by treatment of dichloro-derivative (2·Cl) with LiAlH followed by AgPF via hydride reduction accompanied by one-electron reduction and one-electron oxidation.

Doubly His-tagged mCherry red fluorescent proteins are observed to form fibers and sheets at neutral pH in the presence of no more than equimolar amounts of Zn or Ni. These architectures, on the order of 10 μm in extent, are detected with scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging. Far ultraviolet circular dichroism spectroscopy attests to the preservation of the native secondary structure of mCherry, while the emission spectrum reveals the maintenance of the chemical environment of the fluorophore site.
