Abstract:
A nitroxide prefluorescent probe has been used to evaluate local reactivity of antioxidants in micellar systems. An apparent rate constant that directly reflects the relevance of antioxidant hydrophobicity on the reaction toward nitroxide radicals has been defined. Dramatic increases in this parameter for quercetin are shown on moving from methanol to micellar media: 90 and 230 fold enhancements for SDS and Triton X100 micelles, respectively. This is a clear consequence of the favorable partition of reactants in the micelles.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
