G-quadruplex secondary structures have gained significant recognition due to the discovery of their involvement in regulation of gene expression and their association with many diseases such as cancer and neurological disorders. Consequently, the need for the recognition and characterization of G-quadruplex structures has increased considerably. Here, we present a rapid, facile and sensitive off-on-off in vitro platform for G-quadruplex detection, based on the gold nanoparticle-azacyanine5 (AuNP-Aza5) conjugated fluorescence probe. The conjugated probe is governed by Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) mechanism between the fluorophore molecule, Aza5, and AuNPs. The fluorescence of Aza5 that was hindered by AuNPs (off), was restored in the presence of L-cysteine (on) until the addition of a G-quadruplex structure (off). The developed sensing platform selectively responds to G-quadruplex structures formed within the promoter regions of VEGF-Pu-22, K-RAS, C-myc and BCL-2. It doesn't exhibit a similar response to the other secondary structures such as single, double or triple stranded nucleic acid structures. The detailed investigation of the probe with VEGF-Pu-22 as a model G-quadruplex structure revealed a linear response between the concentration range of 0.032-0.347 mu M with a detection limit of 12.66 nM.

The design and synthesis of a photo-controlled, peptide-based potential drug carrier Parlak Khalily, Melek; Özçubukçu, Salih (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2018-01-01) Our focus in this study is on the design and synthesis of a light-responsive peptide-based nanocarrier in order to develop effective and biocompatible drug delivery systems. The synthesized nanocarrier is basically composed of peptide amphiphiles comprising a micelle forming a Pro-Pro-Pro-Lys-Lys-Lys peptide sequence with an attached anthracene fluorophore Anthracene containing an inner core of the micelle can serve as a storage site for poorly water-soluble drugs. Moreover, anthracenes that come in close p...
Addition of carbonyl compounds to the cyclic olefins : synthesis of cyclitols Altun, Yasemin; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2008) Cyclitols have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years owing to biological activities exhibited by them and also their usefulness in the synthesis of other natural products and pharmaceuticals. Carbasugars are also a derivative of cyclitols and they are cyclic monosaccharide analogues which posses CH2OH group in their structure. In this study, novel synthetic strategies leading to cyclitol derivatives were investigated and the synthesis of tetraol (72) and pentaol (73) derivatives containing CH2...
Preparation and labeling of surface-modified magnetoferritin protein cages with a rhenium(I) carbonyl complex for magnetically targeted radiotherapy Aslan, Tugba Nur; Asik, Elif; Volkan, Mürvet (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016-01-01) New rhenium radiolabeled compounds are of general interest due to their nuclear characteristics which allow radiotherapy and in situ monitoring of tumor uptake. Biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles capable of transporting radionuclides, providing MRI contrast agent properties for imaging and a therapeutic effect in the target tissue simultaneously, are highly desirable. Herein we describe the preparation of magnetoferritin samples, and their labeling with rhenium in the form of the low oxidation state rheni...
From Homoconjugated Push-Pull Chromophores to Donor-Acceptor-Substituted Spiro Systems by Thermal Rearrangement Dengiz, Çağatay; KATO, Shin-ichiro; ZALIBERA, Michal; CIAS, Pawel; SCHWEIZER, W. Bernd; BOUDON, Corinne; GISSELBRECHT, Jean-Paul; GESCHEIDT, Georg; DIEDERICH, Francois (Wiley, 2014-01-27) Series of homoconjugated push-pull chromophores and donor-acceptor (D-A)-functionalized spiro compounds were synthesized, in which the electron-donating strength of the anilino donor groups was systematically varied. The structural and optoelectronic properties of the compounds were investigated by X-ray analysis, UV/Vis spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and computational analysis. The homoconjugated push-pull chromophores with a central bicyclo[4.2.0]octane scaffold were obtained in high yield by [2+2] cyclo...
A benzimidazole-based turn-off fluorescent sensor for selective detection of mercury (II) ERGÜN, EMİNE GÜL CANSU; Ertaş, Gülay; Eroglu, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2020-05-01) In this study, potential fluorescent sensing ability of a donor-acceptor-donor type conjugated molecule over various metal ions (Ni(II), Zn(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), As(III), Se(IV), Hg(I) and Hg(II)) was investigated. The sensor basically includes benzimidazole and 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene as the acceptor and donor units, respectively. Solution of the sensor in tetrahydrofuran exhibits an emission with having a maximum at 632 nm. Since having insolubility of some ions in tetrahydrofu...
