1、 2002 J.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,BMS 631: Lecture 3,Light and Fluorescence J.Paul Robinson, PhD Professor of Immunopharmacology and Bioengineering Purdue University www.cyto.purdue.edu, 2002 J.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,Absorption,Basic quantum mechanics requires that molecules absorb

2、energy as quanta (photons) based upon a criteria specific for each molecular structure Absorption of a photon raises the molecule from ground state to an excited state Total energy is the sum of all components (electronic, vibrational, rotational, translations, spin orientation energies) (vibrationa

3、l energies are quite small) The structure of the molecule dictates the likely-hood of absorption of energy to raise the energy state to an excited one,3rd Ed Shapiro p 84, 2002 J.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,Lifetime,Absorption associated with electronic transitions (electrons changing states) o

4、ccurs in about 1 femptosecond (10-15 s) The lifetime of a molecule depends on how the molecule disposes of the extra energy Because of the uncertainty principle, the more rapidly the energy is changing, the less precisely we can define the energy So, long-lifetime-excited-states have narrow absorpti

5、on peaks, and short-lifetime-excited-states have broad absorption peaks,3rd Ed.Shapiro p 85, 2002 J.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,Exctinction,Using Beers law (Beer-Lambert law) for light travelling through a curvette thickness d cm containing n molecules/cm3 ln (Io/I) = nd where Io and I are the

6、light entering and leaving and is the molecular property called the absorption cross section Now we can state thatln (Io/I) = nd where C is the concentration and a is the absorption coefficient which reflects the capacity of the absorbing substance to absorb light If there are n (molecules/cm3 ; d i

7、n cm, must be in cm2 so if is in cm2/mol, C must be in mol/cm3 do C=a/103 giving log10 (Io/I) = d = A where A is the absorbance or optical densityand is the decadic molar exctinction coeficient in dm3mol-1cm-1,3rd ed. Shapiro p 86, 2002 J.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,Absorbance,O.D. units or abs

8、orbance is expressed in logarithmic terms so they are additive. E.g. an object of O.D. of 1.0 absorbs 90% of the light. Another object of O.D. 1.0 placed in the path of the 10% of the light 10% of this light or 1% of the original light is transmitted by the second object It is posssible to express t

9、he absorbance of a mixture of substances at a particular wavelength as the sum of the absorbances of the components You can calculate the cross sectional area of a molecule to determine how efficient it will absorb photons. The extinction coefficient indicates this value,3rd ed. Shapiro p 87, 2002 J

10、.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,Parameters,Extinction Coefficient refers to a single wavelength (usually the absorption maximum) Quantum Yield Qf is a measure of the integrated photon emission over the fluorophore spectral band At sub-saturation excitation rates, fluorescence intensity is proporti

13、iversity,Fluorescence,The wavelength of absorption is related to the size of the chromophores Smaller chromophores, higher energy (shorter wavelength), 2002 J.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,Fluorescence,Stokes Shift is the energy difference between the lowest energy peak of absorbance and the high

20、s for optimum emission Fluorescence emission is longer than the exciting wavelength The energy of the light increases with reduction of wavelength, 2002 J.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,Allophycocyanin (APC),Protein,632.5 nm (HeNe),Excitation,Emisson,300 nm 400 nm 500 nm 600 nm 700 nm, 2002 J.Paul

21、 Robinson, Purdue University,Ethidium,PE,cis-Parinaric acid,Texas Red,PE-TR Conj.,PI,FITC,Common Laser Lines, 2002 J.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,Excitation Saturation,The rate of emission is dependent upon the time the molecule remains within the excitation state (the excited state lifetime f)

22、Optical saturation occurs when the rate of excitation exceeds the reciprocal of f In a scanned image of 512 x 768 pixels (400,000 pixels) if scanned in 1 second requires a dwell time per pixel of 2 x 10-6 sec. Molecules that remain in the excitation beam for extended periods have higher probability

23、of interstate crossings and thus phosphorescence Usually, increasing dye concentration can be the most effective means of increasing signal when energy is not the limiting factor (i.e. laser based confocal systems), 2002 J.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,Phosphorescence,Following absorption, molecu

24、les can relax via a non-radiative transition to the T1 rather than the S1 state - this is called an intersystem crossing, While it is forbidden it does happen and has a low probability and takes a longer time - the energy dissipated is called phosphorescence Phosphorescence has a longer lifetime tha

25、n fluorescence (milliseconds rather than femptoseconds Phosphorescence generally occurs at longer wavelengths than fluorescence because the energy difference between S0 and T1 is lower,Shapiro p 88, 2002 J.Paul Robinson, Purdue University,Resonance Energy Transfer,Resonance energy transfer can occur

26、 when the donor and acceptor molecules are less than 100 A of one another Energy transfer is non-radiative which means the donor is not emitting a photon which is absorbed by the acceptor Fluorescence RET (FRET) can be used to spectrally shift the fluorescence emission of a molecular combination.,Sh

28、(not an electronic shift) at exactly the same time as scattering occurs This results in a photon emission of a photon differing in energy from the energy of the incident photon by the amount of the above energy - this is Raman scattering. The dominant effect in flow cytometry is the stretch of the O
