The graphene oxides (GOs) were tested as a fluorescent quencher in the field of DNA-diagnostics. The various suspensions of GO nanoplates were prepared by changing the synthesis conditions. The suspensions were stable for at least 6 weeks by differing degrees of functionalization of various oxygen-containing groups of atoms. Depending on the properties of GO nanoplates, their fluorescent quenching abilities, which were determined by the amount of the tagged immobilized oligonucleotide, were also changed. GO suspension synthesized at $75^{\circ}C$ of reaction mixture showed the fluorescent quenching of 16.39 nmol/mg, which would be a potential substitution of molecular fluorescent quencher in test-systems for DNA-diagnostics.

By using the general theoretical framework proposed recently for treating the fluorescence quenching kinetics, we investigate the effect of light pulse intensity on the decay of fluorescence which follows excitation of fluorophors by the light pulse of very short but finite duration. It is seen that conventional theory breaks down when the exciting light pulse has a pulse width comparable to the fluorescent lifetime and its intensity is very high. We also find that even when the light intensity is not too high, conventional theory may fail in either of the following cases: (i) when the quencher concentration is high, (ii) when there is an attractive potential of mean force between the fluorophor and quencher, or (iii) when the energy transfer from the fluorophor to the quencher may also occur at a distance, e.g., via dipole-dipole interaction. The validity of the predictions of the present theory may thus be tested by fluorescence quenching experiments performed under such situations.

Fluorescence of green fluorescent protein mutant, 2-5 GFP is observed during denaturation by guanidine. The fluorescence intensity decreases exponentially but the fluorescence lifetime does not change during denaturation. The fluorescence lifetime of the denatured protein is shorter than that of native form. As the protein structure is modified by guanidine, solvent water molecules penetrate into the protein barrel and protonate the chromophore to quench fluorescence. Most fluorescence quenchers do not affect the fluorescence of native form but accelerate the fluorescence intensity decay during denaturation. Based on the observations, a simple model is suggested for the structural change of the protein molecule during denaturation.

세포막에서의 지방산 이동은 매우 빠르게 일어나므로 방사성 원소를 사용해서는 여러가지 단점이 있고, 정확한 이동속도 측정에도 어려움이 많았다 최근에 개발된 FRET assay는 형광성 물질과 형광성 물질을 상쇄시키는 quencher를 사용한 실험방법 이다. 이는 공명 에너지 이동의 원리를 이용한 것으로 형광광도계, stopped-flow장치를 사용하여 소수성 물질 이동을 직접 컴퓨터 모니터로 측정하는 방법으로 기존방법의 단점을 보완하였다. Donor막에는 형광성 표지를 붙인 지방산이 들어 있고 acceptor막에는 형광을 흡수하는 물질이 들어 있어서 형광성 지방산이 donor에서 acceptor로 이동하면 형광도가 감소하며, 시간에 따른 형광도 감소를 측정하여 지방산 이동속도를 측정하는 방법이다. 형광성 표지를 이용하여 소수성 물질 이동에 사용되는 또 다른 방법은 self-Quenching assay이다. 형광 물질의 농도가 높아지면 서로 형광을 흡수하는 성질을 이용한 방법으로 주로 micelle에서의 물질 이동에 많이 쓰인다. Donor micelle에는 높은 농도의 형광성 지방산이 들어 있고 acceptor micelle에는 형광성 지방산이 들어 있지 않을 때 형광성 지방산이 donor에서 acceptor로 이동하면 형광도가 증가하게 되고 시간에 따른 형광도 증가를 측정하는 방법이다.

A FRET-based high-throughput screening system was developed for the discovery of competitive smallmolecule Hsp90 inhibitors. The biarsenical fluorescein derivative FlAsH and dabcyl-conjugated Hsp90 inhibitor GM were employed as the FRET donor and quencher, respectively. The spatial proximity perturbation between FlAsH-labeled Hsp90N and GM-dabcyl upon treatment of a small molecule led to changes in the FRET-induced fluorescence, monitored in a high-throughput fashion.

Three anthrylazacrown ethers in which the anthracene fluorophore π system is separated from the electron donor atoms by one methylene group were synthesized, and their photophysical study was accomplished. These fluorescent compounds showed a maximum fluorescence intensity at pH=5 in aqueous solutions and a decrease in fluorescence intensity upon binding of paramagnetic metal cations (Mn 2+ (d 5 ), Co 2+ (d 7 ), Cu 2+ (d 9 )). The decrease in fluorescence intensity may be attributed to the paramagnetic effect of metal cations to deactivate the excited state by the nonradiative quenching process. The benzylic nitrogen was found to play an important role in changing fluorescence intensity. From the observed linear Stern-Volmer plot and the fluorescence lifetime independence of the presence of metal ions, it was inferred that the chelation enhanced fluorescence quenching (CHEQ) mechanism in the system is a ground state static quenching process. Enhanced fluorescence was also observed when an excess Na + ion was added to the quenched aqueous solution, and it was attributed to cation displacement of a complexed fluorescence quencher.
