Abstract
CONTEXT Due to the expected decrease in the availability of conventional oils, numerous studies are currently underway to find complementary sources of energy. Among the explored avenue is that of biofuels. Ethyl valerate (ETV) and tripropionin (TPP) are two biofuels whose thermal decomposition has not received the attention it deserves. Herein, we have evaluated the bond dissociation enthalpies (BDHs) to predict how easy it is to break some bonds in these compounds, and subsequently contribute to revealing the initiation step in their combustion reactions. Our computations consistently predict C4-C5 and C1-C2 bonds in ETV and TPP as the weakest bonds, likely to break first and initiate the thermal decomposition of these two compounds, respectively. The conformational changes in ETV and TPP have only a small influence on the BDHs of 1 kcal/mol at M06-2X/6-311 + G(3df,2p). B3LYP and ωB97XD appear to be the most affordable methods for estimating BDHs at 6-31G(d,p) as they give good results for ETV (RMSD: 2.94 kcal/mol and 3.22 kcal/mol) and performed better than CBS-QB3 (RMSD: 3.64 kcal/mol). Using a larger basis set, the M06-2X (RMSD: 3.61 kcal/mol) and ωB97XD (RMSD: 3.51 kcal/mol) functionals are found to provide the most accurate predictions at 6-311 + G(3df,2p) as compared to G4MP2. METHODS BDHs of ETV and TPP are computed using density functional theory (DFT) and quantum chemistry composite methods at 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311 + G(3df,2p) levels. Because of its reliability and accuracy in thermochemical calculations, the G4MP2 theory is used as a reference to gauge the performance of DFT methods. All the calculations were carried out using the Gaussian 09 program.

Abstract
A new dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid, jozibrevine D (4e), was isolated from the Central-African liana Ancistrocladus ileboensis. It is a Dioncophyllaceae-type metabolite, being R-configured at C-3 and lacking an oxygen function at C-6 in both isoquinoline moieties. The two identical monomers of jozibrevine D are symmetrically linked via the sterically constrained 3',3''-positions of the naphthalene units so that the central biaryl linkage is rotationally hindered and the alkaloid is, thus, C2-symmetric. With the two outer biaryl bonds being chiral, too, 4e possesses three consecutive stereogenic axes. The absolute stereostructure of the new compound was assigned by 1D and 2D NMR, ruthenium-mediated oxidative degradation, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy. Jozibrevine D (4e) is the fifth discovered isomer in a series of six possible natural atropo-diastereomeric dimers. It shows potent, and selective, antiprotozoal activity against P. falciparum (IC50 = 0.14 μM), and it also exhibits good cytotoxic activities against drug-sensitive acute lymphoblastic CCRF-CEM leukemia cells (IC50 = 11.47 μM) and their multidrug-resistant CEM/ADR5000 subline (IC50 = 16.61 μM).

Abstract
Background Since the last COVID-19 outbreak, several approaches have been given a try to quickly tackle this global calamity. One of the well-established strategies is the drug repurposing, which consists in finding new therapeutic uses for approved drugs. Following the same paradigm, we report in the present study, an investigation of the potential inhibitory activity of 5-FU and nineteen of its analogues against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (3CLpro). Material and Methods Molecular docking calculations were performed to investigate the binding affinity of the ligands within the active site of 3CLpro. The best binding candidates were further considered for molecular dynamics simulations for 100 ns to gain a time-resolved understanding of the behavior of the guest-host complexes. Furthermore, the profile of druggability of the best binding ligands was assessed based on ADMET predictions. Finally, their chemical reactivity was elucidated using different reactivity descriptors, namely the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), Fukui functions and frontier molecular orbitals. Results and Discussion From the calculations performed, four candidates (compounds 14, 15, 16 and 18) show promising results with respect to the binding affinity to the target protease, 3CLpro, the therapeutic profile of druggability and safety. These compounds are maintained inside the active site of 3CLpro thanks to a variety of noncovalent interactions, especially hydrogen bonds, involving important amino acids such as GLU166, HIS163, GLY143, ASN142, HIS172, CYS145. Molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the four ligands are well trapped within the active site of the protein over a time gap of 100 ns, ligand 18 being the most retained. Conclusion In line with the findings reported herein, we recommend that further in-vitro and in-vivo investigations are carried out to shed light on the possible mechanism of pharmacological action of the proposed ligands.

Abstract
Spirombandakamine A3 (7) is only the third known naphthylisoquinoline dimer with a spiro-fused novel molecular framework and the first such representative to possess a relative trans-configuration at the two chiral centers in both tetrahydroisoquinoline subunits. It was found in the leaves of a botanically as yet unidentified Congolese Ancistrocladus plant, which is morphologically closely related to the Central African taxon Ancistrocladus ealaensis. Likewise isolated were the new cyclombandakamines A8 (8) and A9 (9), which belong to another most recently discovered type of unusual oxygen-bridged naphthylisoquinoline dimers and two previously described "open-chain" analogues, mbandakamines C (10) and D (11). The full absolute stereostructures of these compounds were assigned by combining spectroscopic, chemical, and chiroptical methods. Preliminary biomimetic investigations indicated that both spirombandakamine- and cyclombandakamine-type dimers result from the oxidation of their open-chain mbandakamine-type congeners. The new dimeric alkaloids 7-9 displayed potent growth-inhibitory activity against Plasmodium falciparum, the protozoal pathogen causing malaria, and moderate effects on Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, the parasite responsible for African sleeping sickness.

Abstract
From the twigs and leaves of the Central African liana Ancistrocladus ealaensis (Ancistrocladaceae), a series of ten 7,8'-coupled naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids were isolated, comprising eight new compounds, named ealamines A-H (4a, 4b, 5-10), and two known ones, 6-O-demethylancistrobrevine A (11) and yaoundamine A (12), which had previously been found in related African Ancistrocladus species. Only one of the new compounds within this series, ealamine H (10), is a typical Ancistrocladaceae-type alkaloid, with 3S-configuration at C-3 and an oxygen function at C-6, whereas seven of the new alkaloids are the first 7,8'-linked "hybrid-type" naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, i.e., 3R-configured and 6-oxygenated in the tetrahydroisoquinoline part. The discovery of such a broad series of 7,8'-coupled naphthyltetrahydroisoquinolines is unprecedented, because representatives of this subclass of alkaloids are normally found in Nature quite rarely. The stereostructures of the new ealamines were assigned by HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, oxidative degradation, and experimental and quantum-chemical ECD investigations, and-in the case of ealamine A (4a)-also confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Ealamines A-D exhibited distinct-and specific-antiplasmodial activities, and they displayed pronounced preferential cytotoxic effects toward PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells in nutrient-deprived medium, without causing toxicity under normal, nutrient-rich conditions, with ealamine C (5) as the most potent agent.

Abstract
A series of seven unusual dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids was isolated from the leaves of the tropical liana Ancistrocladus ealaensis J. Léonard, named cyclombandakamine A (1), 1-epi-cyclombandakamine A (2), and cyclombandakamines A3–7 (3–7). These alkaloids have a chemically thrilling structural array consisting of a twisted dihydrofuran-cyclohexenone-isochromene system. The 1′″-epimer of 4, cyclombandakamine A1 (8), had previously been discovered in an unidentified Ancistrocladus species related to A. ealaensis. Both lianas produce the potential parent precursor, mbandakamine A (9), but only A. ealaensis synthesizes the corresponding cyclized form, along with a broad series of slightly modified analogs. The challenging isolation required, besides multi-dimensional chromatography, the use of a pentafluorophenyl stationary phase. Featuring up to six stereocenters and two types of chiral axes, their structures were elucidated by means of 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, in combination with oxidative chemical degradation experiments as well as chiroptical (electronic circular dichroism spectroscopy) and quantum chemical calculations. Compared to the ‘open-chain’ parent compound 9, these dimers displayed rather moderate antiplasmodial activities.

Abstract
From the leaves of a botanically and phytochemically as yet unexplored Ancistrocladus liana discovered in the rainforests of the Central region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the vicinity of the town of Ikela, six new naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids were isolated, viz., two constitutionally unsymmetric dimers, the mbandakamines B3 (3) and B4 (4), and four related 5,8′-linked monomeric alkaloids, named ikelacongolines A–D (5a, 5b, 6, and 7). The dimers 3 and 4 are structurally unusual quateraryls comprising two 5,8′-coupled monomers linked via a sterically strongly constrained 6′,1′′-connection between their naphthalene units. These compounds contain seven elements of chirality, four stereogenic centers and three consecutive chiral axes. They were identified along with two known related compounds, the mbandakamines A (1) and B2 (2), which had so far only been detected in two Ancistrocladus species indigenous to the Northwestern Congo Basin. In addition, five known monomeric alkaloids, previously found in related Central African Ancistrocladus species, were isolated from the here investigated Congolese liana, three of them belonging to the subclass of 5,8′-coupled naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, whereas two compounds exhibited a less frequently occurring 7,8′-biaryl linkage. The stereostructures of the new alkaloids were established by spectroscopic (in particular HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR), chemical (oxidative degradation), and chiroptical (electronic circular dichroism) methods. The mbandakamines B3 (3) and B4 (4) displayed pronounced activities in vitro against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and the pathogen of African sleeping sickness, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. The discovery of the two unsymmetrically coupled dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, the mbandakamines B3 and B4, showing a high steric hindrance at the central biaryl axis and displaying pronounced antiplasmodial activities, is described.![]()

Abstract
Four new dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, michellamine A5 (2) and mbandakamines C-E (4-6), were isolated from the Congolese plant Ancistrocladus ealaensis, along with the known dimer mbandakamine A (3). They represent constitutionally unsymmetric dimers, each consisting of two 5,8'-coupled naphthylisoquinoline monomers. While the molecular halves of michellamine A5 (2) are linked via C-6' of both of the naphthalene moieties, i.e., via the least-hindered positions, so that the central biaryl axis is configurationally unstable and not an additional element of chirality, the mbandakamines 3-6 possess three consecutive stereogenic axes. Their monomeric units are linked through an unprecedented 6',1″-coupling in the binaphthalene core, leading to a high steric load, since the central axis is located in one of the peri-positions, neighboring one of the outer axes. In addition, four new 5,8'-coupled monomeric naphthylisoquinolines, viz., ancistroealaines C-F (7-10), were identified, along with four "naphthalene-devoid" tetra- and dihydroisoquinolines, named ealaines A-D (11-14). The new mbandakamines C (4) and D (5) showed pronounced activities against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, and they were likewise found to display strong cytotoxic activities against human leukemia (CCRF-CEM) and multi-drug-resistant tumor cells (CEM/ADR5000).

Abstract
Michellamines A6 (1) and A7 (2) are the first dimers of 5,8′-coupled naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids with cis-configured stereocenters in both tetrahydroisoquinoline subunits. They were isolated from the leaves of a recently discovered, yet unidentified Congolese Ancistrocladus liana that shares some morphological characteristics with Ancistrocladus likoko. Two further new dimeric analogs, michellamines B4 (3) and B5 (4), were obtained, along with two previously likewise unknown monomers, ancistrobonsolines A1 (5) and A2 (6), which, besides one single known other example, are the only naphthyldihydroisoquinolines with an M-configured biaryl axis and R-configuration at C-3. Moreover, five compounds earlier reported from other Ancistrocladus species were identified, ancistroealaine C (7), korupensamines A (8a) and B (8b), and michellamines A2 (9) and E (10). Their complete structural elucidation succeeded due to the fruitful interplay of spectroscopic, chemical, and chiroptical methods. Chemotaxonomically, the stereostructures of the metabolites clearly delineate this Congolese Ancistrocladus liana from all known related species, showing that it might be a new taxon. Ancistrobonsolines A1 (5) and A2 (6) exhibited strong preferential cytotoxicities against human PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells under nutrient-deprived conditions, without displaying toxicity in normal, nutrient-rich medium. Against cervical HeLa cancer cells, the dimeric alkaloids michellamines A6 (1) and E (10) displayed the highest cytotoxic activities, comparable to that of the standard agent, 5-fluorouracil. Furthermore, ancistrobonsolines A1 (5) and A2 (6) showed weak-to-moderate antiprotozoal activities. The first dimers of 5,8′-coupled naphthylisoquinolines with two 1,3-cis-configured tetrahydroisoquinoline portions and their cytotoxicities against cancer cells are described.![]()

Abstract
Two new naphthylisoquinoline dimers, jozilebomines A (1a) and B (1b), were isolated from the roots of the Congolese plant Ancistrocladus ileboensis, along with the known dimer jozimine A2 (2). These compounds are Dioncophyllaceae-type metabolites, i.e., lacking oxygen functions at C-6 and with an R-configuration at C-3 in their tetrahydroisoquinoline moieties. The dimers 1a and 1b consist of two 7,1'-coupled naphthylisoquinoline monomers linked through an unprecedented 3',6″-coupling in the binaphthalene core and not, as in 2, via the C-3-positions of the two naphthalene units. Thus, different from the C2-symmetric jozimine A2 (2), the new jozilebomines are constitutionally unsymmetric. The central biaryl axis of each of the three dimers is rotationally hindered, so that 1a, 1b, and 2 possess three consecutive chiral axes. The two jozilebomines have identical constitutions and the same absolute configurations at all four stereogenic centers, but differ from each other in their axial chirality. Their structural elucidation was achieved by HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, oxidative degradation, and experimental and calculated ECD data. They exhibited distinct and specific antiplasmodial activities. All dimers showed potent cytotoxicity against HeLa human cervical cancer cells and preferential cytotoxicity against PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells under nutrition-deprived conditions. Furthermore, these dimers significantly inhibited the colony formation of PANC-1 cells, even when exposed to noncytotoxic concentration for a short time. Jozilebomines A (1a) and B (1b) and jozimine A2 (2) represent novel potential candidates for future drug development against pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Three unusual heterodimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, named ealapasamines A-C (1-3), were isolated from the leaves of the tropical plant Ancistrocladus ealaensis J. Léonard. These 'mixed', constitutionally unsymmetric dimers are the first stereochemically fully assigned cross-coupling products of a 5,8'- and a 7,8'-coupled naphthylisoquinoline linked via C-6' in both naphthalene portions. So far, only two other West and Central Ancistrocladus species were known to produce dimers with a central 6,6″-axis, yet, in contrast to the ealapasamines, usually consisting of two 5,8'-coupled monomers, like e.g., in michellamine B. The new dimers 1-3 contain six elements of chirality, four stereogenic centers and the two outer axes, while the central biaryl axis is configurationally unstable. The elucidation of the complete stereostructures of the ealapasamines was achieved by the interplay of spectroscopic methods including HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR (in particular ROESY measurements), in combination with chemical (oxidative degradation) and chiroptical (electronic circular dichroism) investigations. The ealapasamines A-C display high antiplasmodial activities with excellent half-maximum inhibition concentration values in the low nanomolar range.

Abstract
Dioncophylline F (1), the first 5,8'-coupled dioncophyllaceous alkaloid (i.e., lacking an oxygen function at C-6 and possessing an R-configuration at C-3), was isolated from the recently described Congolese liana Ancistrocladus ileboensis. Two further, likewise Dioncophyllaceae-type, alkaloids, the dioncophyllines C2 (2) and D2 (3), were identified, along with the Ancistrocladaceae-type compound ancistrocladisine B (4), which is oxygenated at C-6 and S-configured at C-3. The structures of the new compounds were determined by spectroscopic, chemical, and chiroptical methods. The stereostructure of 1 was further confirmed by total synthesis. As a consequence of the lack of a methyl group ortho to their biaryl axes, both dioncophylline F (1) and the 7,8'-coupled dioncophylline D2 (3) occur as pairs of configurationally semistable and, thus, slowly interconverting atropo-diastereomers, whereas dioncophylline C2 (2), with its 5,1'-linkage, is configurationally stable at the axis. Eight further known naphthylisoquinolines were isolated from A. ileboensis, among them dioncophylline A (P-10), its 4'-O-demethyl analogue P-11, and 5'-O-methyldioncophylline D (7), which were found to display strong cytotoxic activities against multiple myeloma INA-6 cells (P-10 even stronger than the standard drug melphalan) and against drug-sensitive acute lymphoblastic CCRF-CEM leukemia cells and their multidrug-resistant subline, CEM/ADR5000. Moreover, the dioncophyllines 1, 3, and 7 showed high-and specific-activities against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.

Abstract
Five michellamine-type dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids (NIQs), named michellamines A2, A3, A4, B2, and B3, have been isolated from the root bark of the Central African liana Ancistrocladus congolensisJ. Léonard (Ancistrocladaceae), along with their two known parent compounds, the michellamines A and B, which had so far only been detected in the Cameroonian species Ancistrocladus korupensis. Five monomeric representatives, viz., korupensamine D, ancistrobrevine B, hamatine, 5'-O-demethylhamatine, and 6-O-methylhamatine, already known from related Ancistrocladus species, have likewise been identified. The structure elucidation was achieved by spectroscopic analysis including HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, and by chemical and chiroptical methods. The michellamines A2, A3, B3, and A4 were evaluated for their cytotoxic and anti-HIV activities at a concentration range of 0-100 μM against the HIV reference strain IIIB/LAI in A3.01 T lymphoblast cell cultures, and their effects were compared to the ones displayed by the known michellamines A and B. Inhibitory activities for HIV replication were monitored for the michellamines A2 (IC50 = 29.6 μM), A3 (IC50 = 15.2 μM), A4 (IC50 = 35.9 μM), and B (IC50 = 20.4 μM). The michellamines A and B3, by contrast, did not inhibit HIV replication. No cytotoxicity was observed. Furthermore, the chemotaxonomic significance of the previously undescribed michellamines is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sickle cell disease or drepanocytosis is caused by the polymerisation of abnormal haemoglobin S when oxygen tension decreases. This lead to the changes in the shape of red blood cells and anaemia. It has also been postulated that the red cells of patients with sickle cell disease contain a higher than normal concentration of calcium ions. These ions are bound to membrane proteins resulting in dehydration and loss of red blood cell deformability and cell-to-cell adherence. Anthocyanins extracted from some Congolese plants used in traditional medicine against sickle cell disease have recently been shown to have anti-sickling activity in vitro. Justicia secunda is a plant used in Congo by Jehovah's Witnesses, well known for their refusal of blood transfusions, against anaemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Emmel, Itano and osmotic fragility tests were used to test the effect of anthocyanin extracts from Justicia secunda leaves on haemoglobin S solubility and sickle cell membrane stability. RESULTS Anthocyanins from Justicia secunda were found to possess anti-sickling activity. Treated SS red blood cells recovered a normal, classical biconcave form with a radius of 3.3±0.3 μm, similar to that of normal erythrocytes. The solubility of deoxyhaemoglobin S increased and the osmotic fragility of drepanocytes decreased upon treatment with anthocyanin extracts. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that anthocyanin extracts play a role in both stabilising the red blood cell membrane and inhibiting polymerisation of haemoglobin S. This provides a possible molecular basis for earlier reports on the anti-sickling properties of anthocyanins from some Congolese plants and their use in the management of sickle cell disease by Congolese traditional healers.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY A survey was conducted in Lubumbashi city (Democratic Republic of Congo) in order to: (a) identify medicinal plants used by traditional healers in the management of sickle cell anaemia, (b) verify their antisickling activity in vitro, (c) determine the most active plants, and (d) verify if anthocyanins are responsible of the bioactivity and study their photodegradation effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Emmel test was used in vitro, for the antisickling activity assays of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of different parts of these plants when a UV lamp and solar irradiations were used to induce the photodegradation effect. RESULTS The survey revealed that 13 medicinal plants are used in the treatment of drepanocytosis among which 12 plants exhibited the in vitro antisickling activity for at least one of the used parts or extracts. These plants are Bombax pentadrum, Bougainvillea sp., Byarsocarpus orientalis, Dalberigia bochmintaub, Diplorrhynbchus condolocarpus, Euphorbia heterophylla, Ficus capensis, Harungana madagascariensis, Parinari mobola, Pothmania witfchidii, Syzygium guineense, Temnocalys verdickii and Ziziphus mucronata of which four (Bombax pentadrum, Ficus capensis, Parinari mobola and Ziziphus mucronata) revealed a high antisickling activity. The biological activity of three of these plants is due to anthocyanins. The antisickling activity and photodegradation effect of anthocyanins extracts were studied and minimal concentration of normalization determined. The biological activity of Bombax pentadrum anthocyanins decreased to half of its value after 40 min of irradiation under a lamp emitting at a wavelength of 365 nm and after about 10h of solar irradiation. For Ziziphus mucronata and Ficus capensis, the antisickling activity decreased to half after about 6h under a lamp exposition and after about 50h of solar exposition. CONCLUSION In vitro Antisickling activity justifies the use of these plants by traditional healers and this activity would be due to anthocyanins. But these natural pigments are instable towards UV-Visible irradiations. The conservation of these plants should then be performed in a shield from the sun radiation.

Abstract
From the roots of a recently discovered Ancistrocladus taxon, with close affinities to Ancistrocladus congolensis regarding molecular ITS sequence data, six naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, 5'-O-demethylhamatine (2), 5'-O-demethylhamatinine (3), 6-O-demethylancistroealaine A (4), 6,5'-O,O-didemethylancistroealaine A (5), 5-epi-6-O-methylancistrobertsonine A (6), and 5-epi-4'-O-demethylancistrobertsonine C (7), have been isolated, along with a likewise benzopyranone carboxylic acid, 8. The structural elucidation succeeded by chemical, spectroscopic, and chiroptical methods. Their bioactivities were tested against protozoan parasites causing severe tropical diseases. Furthermore, eight known related alkaloids were identified.

Abstract
The isolation and structural elucidation of three novel-type naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, ancistrocladinium A and B (the latter along with its atropisomer), from a Congolese Ancistrocladus species collected in the habitat Yeteto is reported. Their structures, including all stereochemical features, were elucidated by spectroscopic, chemical, and chiroptical methods. Ancistrocladinium A and B are the first N,C-coupled naphthyldihydroisoquinoline alkaloids found in nature, i.e., with an iminium-aryl axis. Although ancistrocladinium A, which is N,8'-coupled, is configurationally stable at this axis, ancistrocladinum B and its rotational isomer are based on a hitherto unprecedented N,6'-coupling type, with a slow rotation about the hetero biaryl axis at room temperature; they thus occur as a 46:54 mixture of two configurationally semistable atropo-diastereomers. For the isomerization of (P)-ancistrocladinium B to its (M)-diastereomer and for the opposite direction, the Gibbs free energies of activation were determined to be DeltaG double dagger1 = 105.8 kJ mol-1 and DeltaG double dagger2 = 105.7 kJ mol-1, respectively. In addition, the compounds were shown to have promising antileishmanial activities.

Abstract
A new naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid, ancistrolikokine D, and the likewise 5,8'-coupled alkaloid ancistroealaine A, as well as two further, biosynthetically related, but nitrogen-free natural products, ancistronaphthoic acid B and cis-isoshinanolone, have been isolated from Ancistrocladus likoko J. LEACUTE;ONARD (Ancistrocladaceae). The 5,8'-coupling of the new alkaloids and of the alkaloids isolated earlier hints at a close phylogenetic relationship of A. likoko to other Central African Ancistrocladus species. The compounds show moderate activities against Leishmania donovani, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense.

Abstract
Stationary and time-dependent fluorescence were measured for a donor/ acceptor (DA) pair bound to membrane proteins of bovine erythrocyte ghosts. The donor N-(p-(2-benzoxazolyl)phenyl)-maleimide (BMI) and the acceptor fluram bind to SH- and NH2-residues, respectively. The fluorescence spectra and the time-dependent emission were consistent with radiationless fluorescence energy transfer (RET). Band3 protein is the only membrane spanning protein with accessible SH-groups for the coupling of BMI molecules, and therefore only acceptor binding sites on the same band3 protein were counted by the RET measurements performed. A density of RET-effective acceptor binding sites c = 0.072 nm-2 was calculated on the basis of the two-dimensional Förster-kinetics.
