    Abstract The bacterial histone-like protein H-NS silences AT-rich DNA, binding DNA as 'stiffened' filaments or 'bridged' intrastrand loops. The switch between these modes has been suggested to depend on the concentration of divalent cations, in particular Mg2+, with elevated Mg2+ concentrations associated with a transition to bridging. Here we demonstrate that the observed binding mode is a function of the local concentration of H-NS and its cognate binding sites, as well as the affinity of the interactions between them. Mg2+ does not control a binary switch between these two modes but rather modulates the affinity of this interaction, inhibiting the DNA-binding and silencing activity of H-NS in a continuous linear fashion. The direct relationship between conditions that favor stiffening and transcriptional silencing activity suggests that although both modes can occur in the cell, stiffening is the predominant mode of binding at silenced genes.

    Abstract The photochemistry of nitrosyl chloride (ClNO) dissolved in cyclohexane is investigated using ultrafast time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy. Following 266 nm photolysis, the photochemistry is measured by following changes in optical density at frequencies spanning the N═O stretch fundamental transition. A photoinduced depletion in optical density is observed consistent with the depletion of ground-state ClNO. The depletion in optical density remains constant out to ∼50 ps demonstrating that ClNO photodissociation is not followed by recombination of the Cl and NO photofragments. In addition, no evidence for the formation of the ClON photoisomer is observed. These results stand in contrast to previous studies in acetonitrile where ClNO photolysis is followed by geminate recombination of Cl and NO, and by the production of ClON. These differences in ClNO photochemistry are proposed to arise from the population of different excited-states caused by solvent dependence of the ground-state potential energy surface minimum along the Cl-N stretch coordinate. Solvent-dependent vibrational relaxation and differences in strength of the solvent cage are also proposed to contribute to the solvent-dependent photochemistry. Finally, these results are placed in the context of recent models of ClNO photochemistry and role of this compound in tropospheric ozone production.

    Abstract The effect of annealing on the phase transformation and the dielectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is explored using quasi-single molecule (quasi-SM) microscopy. The solvatochromic properties of nile red (NR) are employed to measure the spatial distribution of the local dielectric constant (ε) in ∼30 μm thick PVDF films before and after annealing at 90 °C. The results presented here demonstrate that nonannealed films exhibit much larger ε distributions, both in terms of magnitude and distribution, when compared to annealed films. The polymorphic phase of PVDF before and after annealing is also confirmed using X-ray diffraction. Nonannealed films are found to be in the γ-phase with annealing promoting the transition to primarily β-phase. Combining these results, we conclude that the decrease in ε with annealing time is due to the phase transformation from γ- to β-phase. Using quasi-SM imaging techniques one can readily visualize the ε environments present within different polymorphic phases of PVDF.

    Abstract The dependence of single-molecule photoluminescence intermittency (PI) or "blinking" on the local dielectric constant (ε) is examined for nile red (NR) in thin films of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). In previous studies, variation of the local dielectric constant was accomplished by studying luminophores in chemically and structurally different hosts. In contrast, the NR/PVDF guest-host pair allows for the investigation of PI as a function of ε while keeping the chemical composition of both the luminophore and host unchanged. The solvatochromic properties of NR are used to measure the local ε, while fluctuations in NR emission intensity over time provide a measure of the PI. PVDF is an ideal host for this study because it provides submicron-sized dielectric domains that vary from nonpolar (ε ≈ 2) to very polar (ε ≈ 70). The results presented here demonstrate that the local dielectric environment can have a pronounced effect on PI. We find that the NR emissive events increase 5-fold with an increase in ε from 2.2 to 74. A complex dependence on ε is also observed for NR nonemissive event durations, initially increasing as ε increases from 2.2 to 3.4 but decreasing in duration with further increase in ε. The variation in emissive event durations with ε is reproduced using a photoinduced electron-transfer model involving electron transfer from NR to PVDF. In addition, an increase in NR photostability with an increase in ε is observed, suggesting that the dielectric environment plays an important role in defining the photostability of NR in PVDF.

    Abstract Single-particle photoluminescence blinking is observed in the copper-centered deep-trap luminescence of copper-doped CdSe (Cu(+):CdSe) nanocrystals. Blinking dynamics for Cu(+):CdSe and undoped CdSe nanocrystals are analyzed to identify the effect of Cu(+), which selectively traps photogenerated holes. Analysis of the blinking data reveals that the Cu(+):CdSe and CdSe nanocrystal "off"-state dynamics are statistically identical, but the Cu(+):CdSe nanocrystal "on" state is shorter lived. Additionally, a new and pronounced temperature-dependent delayed luminescence is observed in the Cu(+):CdSe nanocrystals that persists long beyond the radiative lifetime of the luminescent excited state. This delayed luminescence is analogous to the well-known donor-acceptor pair luminescence of bulk copper-doped phosphors and is interpreted as revealing metastable charge-separated excited states formed by reversible electron trapping at the nanocrystal surfaces. A mechanistic link between this delayed luminescence and the luminescence blinking is proposed. Collectively, these data suggest that electron (rather than hole) trapping/detrapping is responsible for photoluminescence intermittency in these nanocrystals.

    Abstract Recent experimental and theoretical studies of photoluminescence intermittency (PI) or "blinking" exhibited by single core/shell quantum dots and single organic luminophores are reviewed. For quantum dots, a discussion of early models describing the origin of PI in these materials and recent challenges to these models are presented. For organic luminophores the role of electron transfer, proton transfer and other photophysical processes in PI are discussed. Finally, new experimental and data analysis methods are outlined that promise to be instrumental in future discoveries regarding the origin(s) of PI exhibited by single emitters.

The solvatochromic properties of nile red (NR) are employed to measure the spatial distribution of the local dielectric constant (ε) in ∼30 μm thick PVDF films before and after annealing at 90 °C. The results presented here demonstrate that nonannealed films exhibit much larger ε distributions, both in terms of magnitude and distribution, when compared to annealed films. The polymorphic phase of PVDF before and after annealing is also confirmed using X-ray diffraction. Nonannealed films are found to be in the γ-phase with annealing promoting the transition to primarily β-phase. Combining these results, we conclude that the decrease in ε with annealing time is due to the phase transformation from γ- to β-phase. Using quasi-SM imaging techniques one can readily visualize the ε environments present within different polymorphic phases of PVDF.
