Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) has been used as a sensitizer in photodynamic therapy (PDT) as well as in sonodynamic therapy (SDT). The photo-bleaching of PpIX has been well investigated in many experimental systems and some photo-products have also been identified in

Acta biochimica Polonica, 59(4), 603-611 (2012-11-29)
Mitochondria are cell energetic centers where ATP is produced. They also play a very important role in the PDT as intracellular sites of photosensitizer localization. Photosensitizers gathering in mitochondria (like porphyrin derivatives used in this work) are more effective in

An open question regarding the evolution of photosynthesis is how cyanobacteria came to possess the two reaction center (RC) types, Type I reaction center (RCI) and Type II reaction center (RCII). The two main competing theories in the foreground of

Nanoscale, 5(1), 416-421 (2012-11-29)
Various nanocarriers for photosensitizers have been developed to solve the problems of limiting the clinical utility of photodynamic therapy (PDT); however, to date, no carriers capable of supplying oxygen have been reported. We reported the development of a novel system

Porphyrins are used for photodynamic therapy for their light-absorbing properties, and some of them were approved for the treatment of certain types of cancers. Porphyrins prevent activation of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) by inhibiting heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). This

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. To study interaction of porphyrin with a protein, how should a solution of this compound be made for flourescence quenching?

    1 answer
    1. This is not an application that is tested internally, but there is evidence in literature (Iwunze MO. The fluorescence study of the quenching of nanoemulsion by protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). Material Sci & Eng. 2022;6(3):97‒99. DOI: 10.15406/mseij.2022.06.00185) that concentrations between 6.45 x 10-7 M to 3.24 x 10-6 M PPIX are effective for quenching. Another author describes the quenching of protein fluorescence by PPIX by using a solution concentration range of 1×10−5 M to 3×10−4 M excited at 280 nm and 1x10−5 M to 3×10−4 M excited at 295 nm (Characteristics of the Protoporphyrin IX Binding Sites on Human Serum Albumin Using Molecular Docking, Molecules 2016, 21(11), 1519).
