Arborescent Poly(L-glutamic acid)s as Standards to Study the Dense Interior of Polypeptide Mesoglobules by Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence
Hall, Timothy; Whitton, Greg; Casier, Remi; Gauthier, Mario; Duhamel, Jean (American Chemical Society, 2018-10-01)A series of arborescent poly(l-glutamic acid)s of generations 0 to 3 (PGA(GY) with Y = 0–3) were randomly labeled with 1-pyrenemethylamine to yield several Py-PGA(GY) constructs with pyrene contents ranging between 2.5 and ... -
Hydrophobic and Elastic Forces Experienced by a Series of Pyrene End-Labeled Poly(ethylene oxide)s Interacting with Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Micelles
Raimbault, Justin; Casier, Remi; Little, Hunter; Duhamel, Jean (American Chemical Society, 2018-07-30)A series of pyrene end-labeled poly(ethylene oxide)s (Py2-PEO(x) with x equal to 2, 3.4, 5, 6, 7.8, and 10 kg mol–1) were synthesized, and their interactions with SDS micelles were characterized by steady-state and ... -
Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence as a Direct and Easy Experimental Means to Characterize the Length Scale and Dynamics of Polypeptide
Casier, Remi; Duhamel, Jean (American Chemical Society, 2018-04-26)This report provides evidence that the blobs characterized through the application of the fluorescence blob model (FBM) to the analysis of the fluorescence decays acquired with pyrene-labeled polypeptides are equivalent ...
