The morphology of C-PCs doped silica biomaterials indicates that the surface of the silica cluster is formed by a great number of silica particles with an average size of between 30 and 40 nm. Silica itself is a porous structure with the average pore diameter of 2.95 nm. Pores with their diameter less than 5 nm account for 84.07%. In addition, the C-PCs can be utilized as a fluorescent protein probe to monitor influence of the protein encapsulation and to study matrix and protein interaction and stability of protein in silica matrix. Application of protein encapsulation silica materials requires biomolecules to keep bioactivity and stability on potentially unfavorable industrial conditions. The C-PCs in solution or in silicate matrix irradiated by ultraviolet ray can result in photobleaching, whereas the protein in the silica is less affected. The measured photodamage rate constant of C-PCs in buffer solution is 25 times faster than that of C-PCs in silica matrix. However, the lifetime of C-PCs in silica matrix or phosphate buffer is unaffected. These studies suggest that entrapment of C-PCs into silica matrixes not only can maintain their biological activity but also noticeably improve their photostability.展开更多

Extensive evidence suggests that C-phycocyanin(C-PC), a chromophore phycocyanobilin derived from Spirulina platensis, exerts protective eff ects against chemical-induced organ damage. In this study, we investigated whether C-PC could protect against ethanol-induced acute liver injury. Serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(CHOL), low-density lipoprotein(LDL), liver homogenate malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD) content were measured, and pathological examination of liver sections were examined. C-PC showed obvious inhibitory eff ects on serum ALT, AST, TG, CHOL, LDL and MDA, and SOD content significantly increased in the liver. The structure of hepatic lobules was clear, liver sinus returned to normal, and liver cell cords were arranged in neat rows. Cloudiness, swelling, inflammatory cell infiltration and spotty necrosis of liver cells were significantly reduced. Therefore, C-PC can significantly protect against ethanol-induced acute liver injury.展开更多

Fluorescence measurements demonstrate quenching of C-PC emission by Hg(II) and Pb(II), and blue shifts in the fluorescence spectra. The effect of DNA on the fluorescence of Hg(II)-and Pb(II)-C-PC (from Spirulina platensis) complexes was also studied. It was shown that the fluorescence intensity of Hg-C-PC after addition of DNA gave rise to the fluorescence buildup. At the same time, addition of DNA to the Pb(II)-C-PC complexes showed no such effect. In the case of Hg(II)-C-PC, fluorescence intensity significantly decreases in time, while for Pb(II)-C-PC, decrease of the fluorescence intensity is not significant, but blue shift of the peak takes place.展开更多

Results showed that each isolated promoter drived the expression of gfp in E. coli, and Promoter Ⅲ was the strongest one according to the GFP level. Only one transcript of c-phycocyanin gene was found under experimental conditions, and the transcription start site G was located at the - 285 bp upstream of the start codon, from which it could be inferred that the transcript was from the promotion of Promoter Ⅰ.展开更多

Up to now, high-resolution crystal structure data have been available only for the isolated phycohiliproteins. To have an understanding of the functional connection between different phycobiliproteins, it is necessary to study the complexes composed of different phycobiliproteins. The energy transfer processes in C-phycocyanin complexes were studied through computer simulation because it is dificult to be studied by conventional experimental methods. The main pathways of energy flow and the dynamic property of the energy transfer were obtained. A fast transfer process between two neighboring disks was observed through analyzing the distribution curves of excitation energy over time. According to the definition of the time constants for energy transfer in time-resolved spectrum techniques, for a complex with three C-phycocyanin hexamer disks, a fluorescence-rising component with several picoseconds was obtained in disk 2 and 20 ps in disk 3 when the chromophores in disk 1 were excited by an ideal Δ pulsed laser beam. The results showed clearly that the energy transfer between the disks in an antenna rod was very fast and that energy transfer was fast and efficient in an intact antenna system of algae.展开更多

C-FC was solubilized in the reverse micelles of non ionic surfactant Tween-80, cosurfactant pentanol, and solvent cyclohexane, in which the overall concentration of surfactant was 20% (w/v) and the mass ratio of Tween-80 to pentanol was 4:1. When the molar ratio of water to Tween-80 (R w)?S9.0, the characteristic properties of C-PC were maintained. When it was excited, the energy transfer from C-PC to phthalocyanine zinc took place. The energy transfer efficiency was only related with the concentration of phthalocyanine, but not that of C-PC. Furthermore, the energy transfer was roughly in keeping with Perrin formulation, which indicated that the energy transfer took place approximately through dipole-dipole interaction in rigid system. The radii of the quenching sphere were calculated from the experimental results. For example, when the concentration of phthalocyanine zinc was 2.10×10-4 mol/L, the radius of the quenching sphere of the system was 10.9 nm.展开更多

The experimental results show that there are two types of principal channels, with large probability or amplitude, for linking two trimers viam?m and s?s energy transfer pathways, the energy-transfer time constants of them are about 20 and 10 ps, respectively. Indeed, there exists the evidence for energy-transfer channels of s?f steps in the same monomer and threef?f steps in the same trimer of the C-PC hexamer unit, with small probability or amplitude, and the time constants of them might be ca. 50 and 45 ps separately. Also, the present results show that the hexamer possesses an optimal structure for energy-transfer and for the first time confirm that the dominant energy-transfer processes except those between 1 m?2f, 2m?3f and 3m?1f and so on, in isolated C-PC hexamer, could be described by F?rster dipole-dipole resonance mechanism.展开更多
