Characterization of Coupled Ground State and Excited State Equilibria by Fluorescence Spectral Deconvolution
Fluorescence probes with multiparametric response based on the relative variation in the intensities of several emission bands are of great general utility. An accurate interpretation of the system requires the determination of the number, positions and intensities of the spectral components. We have developed a new algorithm for spectral deconvolution that is applicable to fluorescence probes exhibiting a twostate ground-state equilibrium and a two-state excited-state reaction. Three distinct fluorescence emission bands are resolved, with a distribution of intensities that is excitationwavelength-dependent. The deconvolution of the spectrum into individual components is based on their representation as asymmetric Siano-Metzler log-normal functions. The application of the algorithm to the solvation response of a 3-hydroxychromone (3HC) derivative that exhibits an H-bonding-dependent excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction allowed the separation of the spectral signatures characteristic of polarity and hydrogen bonding. This example demonstrates the ability of the method to characterize two potentially uncorrelated parameters characterizing dye environment and interactions.Fil: Caarls, Wouter.

Tumor-Targeted Quantum Dots Can Help Surgeons Find Tumor Boundaries
Despite surgical advances and recent progress in adjuvant therapies, the prognosis for patients with malignant brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme has remained poor, and the neurological deterioration suffered by most patients as a consequence of tumor progression is dramatic and severe. In addition, malignant brain tumors have > 95% recurrence close to the primary site of initial resection. Unfortunately, standard imaging techniques do not permit the intraoperative identification of individual or small clusters of residual tumor cells, precluding their selective removal while sparing the surrounding normal brain tissue. In this report, we show that quantum dots (QDs) coupled to epidermal growth factor (EGF) or anti-EGF receptor receptor (EGFR, Her1) specifically and sensitively label glial tumor cells in cell culture, glioma mouse models, and human brain-tumor biopsies. A clear demarcation between brain and tumor tissue at the macroscopic as well as the cellular level is provided by the fluorescence emission of the QDs
