Abstract
To explore the possible impact of 2-Phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid (PBSA) on the function of a sunscreen, in this work we investigate the binding of copper metal ions (Cu2+) to PBSA. Due to the existence of an intrinsic interaction phenomenon between Cu2+ ions and PBSA molecules, the photoluminescence (PL) quenching arises owing to the charge transfer from PBSA to Cu2+ ions. The mechanism of fluorescence quenching is probed experimentally following excitation at 306 nm by evaluating various quenching parameters with the help of the Stern-Volmer plot. Through the assessment of the values of the Stern-Volmer constant (K SV = 45.2 M - 1 ) and bimolecular quenching rate constant (k q = 0.77 × 10 10 M - 1 . s - 1 ), it is deduced that the dynamic mode of PL quenching is operative between PBSA and Cu2+ ions. We evaluate the number of binding sites (n = 1) that advocate the presence of a single binding site in PBSA for Cu2+ ions. The numerical value of standard Gibbs free energy change,Δ G o ~ -27.485 kJ.mol-1 implies the spontaneous binding between Cu2+ ions and PBSA molecules. The results obtained give an insight into the mechanism of metal-induced PL quenching of water soluble PBSA sunscreen.

Abstract
An aggregation induced emission based compound ((E)-4-((2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzylidene)amino)benzoic acid) was synthesized through facile Schiff base condensation and characterized by various spectral techniques. The as-prepared compound represented a typical aggregation induced emission behavior in aqueous solution and exploited as a turn-off fluorescent sensor for Fe3+ detection in THF-H2O system (3:7, v/v) with high sensitivity and selectivity. The mechanism of the fluorescence quenching was intensively studied, which was attributed to both dynamic quenching and inner filter effect. The fluorescence probe displayed a highly broad dynamic response range (0.5-500 μM) for selective detection of Fe3+ with a limit of detection of 0.079 μM. The proposed method was successfully employed for detection and quantification of Fe3+ in human urine samples and proved to have potential for practical applications in biological field.

Abstract
In this study, CdS quantum dots (QDs) capped with benzyl mercaptan (thiol) were prepared by microwave irradiation technique. The shape, size, morphology, and spectral properties of thiol-capped CdS QDs were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis absorption, and photoluminescence (PL) spectrometry. The photophysical properties of synthesized thiol-capped CdS QDs in the presence of different amounts of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been investigated, exhibiting strong PL quenching. The amount of fluorescence quenching was found to be dependent on the concentration of metal nanoparticles. A Stern-Volmer kinetics model was used to analyze the observed quenching mechanism as a function of the quencher (AuNPs) concentration. The Stern-Volmer plot along with the absorption spectra of thiol-capped CdS QDs in the absence and presence of AuNPs suggest the dynamic (collision) nature of quenching and rule out the possibility of static quenching. The energy transfers from QDs to Au NPs, and hence the quenching of QDs emissions provides new insight into designing novel optical-based materials and the development of FRET-based bionanosensors and phototherapeutic applications.

Abstract
The objective of the current study was to synthesize, characterize and explore the interaction of PEGylated graphene oxide (pGO) and synthetic human Follicular stimulating hormone β 33-53 peptide conjugated PEGylated graphene oxide nanoparticles (pGO-FSH) with human serum albumin (HSA) and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA). The pGO/ pGO-FSH nanoparticles were synthesized using a modified Hummer's method, and the FSH peptide was conjugated through a maleimide crosslinking reaction. Synthesized nanoparticles were then characterized using techniques like FT-IR, UV-Visible absorbance, CD and Raman spectroscopy, and XRD and TGA. Morphological and particle size analysis was studied using SEM, TEM, DLS, and zeta potential measurements. The presence of FSH β 33-53 peptide was confirmed qualitatively and quantitatively using CD spectroscopy and Bradford's assay. Binding studies of pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles with HSA and DNA were carried out using biophysical techniques. The complex formation between pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles and HSA was revealed by UV absorbance spectroscopy, and the observed fluorescence quenching was confirmed by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. Time-resolved fluorescence quenching studies have shown that dynamic quenching plays an important role in binding HSA with pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles. However, structurally no significant changes were observed in the native structure of HSA upon binding with pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles suggesting that the latter did not induce any structural distortions together, confirmed by DSC, FT-IR, and CD spectroscopy experimental findings. Binding constants and thermodynamic parameters calculated using double logarithmic and Van't Hoff plots suggested weak and moderate binding affinity along with the involvement of hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions between HSA and pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles, respectively. UV absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy have revealed that pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles interact with DNA by binding at the minor groove region. These findings were further confirmed by DNA melting and viscosity studies. CD and FT-IR spectroscopy studies have shown no changes in the helical structure of B-form of DNA, thereby emphasizing the groove-binding nature of pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles. The obtained results are useful in further considering the potentiality of pGO-FSH nanoparticles as drug-delivery systems for in vivo applications, especially to target ovarian cancer.

Abstract
In this paper, we obtained nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped carbon dots through a hydrothermal method using o-phenylenediamine and citric acid in a 40% phosphoric acid environment. The carbon dots emitted fluorescence at 476 nm under excitation at 408 nm and exhibited good selectivity and high sensitivity towards mercury ions. These carbon dots showed excellent dispersibility in water and maintained stable fluorescence even in high concentration salt environments. The interaction between mercury ions and functional groups on the carbon dots surface through electrostatic interaction resulted in static quenching. Simultaneously, by detecting the lifetime and transient absorption spectra of the carbon dots, we observed that the coordination of mercury ions with the carbon dots broadened the band structure of the carbon dots, and the existing photoinduced electron transfer process increased the non-radiative transition channel. The combined effect of dynamic quenching and static quenching significantly reduced the fluorescence intensity of the carbon dots at 476 nm. The carbon dots exhibited linear detection of mercury ions in the range of 0.01-1 µM, with a detection limit as low as 0.0245 µM. In terms of practical water environmental detection applications, these carbon dots were able to effectively detect mercury ions in tap water and lake water, demonstrating their broad application prospects in the field of environmental metal analysis.

Abstract
A straightforward, rapid, and selective fluorescent probe for determination of tilmicosin has been developed based on novel nitrogen and sulfur co-doped CDs (NS-CD). The NS-CDs were synthesized, for the first time, through green, simple one step microwave pyrolysis in only 90 s using glucose as carbon source and l-cysteine as nitrogen and sulfur source. This proposed synthesis method was energy-efficient and resulted in NS-CDs with high production yield (54.27 wt%) and narrow particle size distribution. Greenness of NS-CDs synthesis method was assessed using EcoScale and was proven to be excellent green synthesis. The produced NS-CDs were applied as a nano-probe for determination of tilmicosin in its marketed formulation and milk based on dynamic quenching mechanism. The developed probe showed a good performance for tilmicosin detection in marketed oral solution and pasteurized milk and linearity range of 9-180 μM and 9-120 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Interaction aspects of uranyl(VI) complexes as well as the coordinated ONNO-donor ligand with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated by the fluorescence spectroscopy and computational insights. Under optimal physiological condition, it was observed that there was significant decrease in fluorescence intensity of BSA upon interaction with uranyl(VI) complexes as well as the ligand. The mechanism of interaction between the uranyl(VI) complex and BSA protein was examined by fluorescence measurement. The Stern-Volmer constant, binding affinity, binding constant, standard free energy, and fluorescence lifetime decay profile of BSA in the absence as well as in the presence of uranyl(VI) complex were determined. Furthermore, the conformational binding of uranyl(VI) complexes with BSA protein was explored via molecular docking studies, and confirmed that there is a strong affinity between the Trp-213 residue in the binding pocket of sub-domain IIA and uranyl(VI) complex.

Abstract
Monitoring hypochlorite levels in water is of great importance because of its high toxicity and wide applications as water disinfectants. In this manuscript, carbon dot (CD) was electrochemically prepared by using dopamine and epigallocatechin gallate (molar ratio 1:1) as the carbon source for efficient hypochlorite determination. By electrolyzing the solution at 10 V for 12 min with PBS as an electrolyte, dopamine would react with epigallocatechin at the anode, and through polymerization, dehydration, and carbonization, strong blue-fluorescent CDs were obtained. CDs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, FT-IR, etc. These CDs have an excitation wavelength at 372 nm and an emission wavelength at 462 nm, owing an average particle size of 5.5 nm. The presence of hypochlorites can quench the fluorescence of CDs, and its reduction in intensity is linear with hypochlorite concentration over the range of 0.5-50 μM, ΔF/F0 = 0.0056 + 0.0194CClO-, R2=0.997. The detection limit achieved 0.23 μM (S/N = 3). The mechanism for fluorescence quenching is via a dynamic process. Different from many other fluorescence methods based on the strong oxidizing ability of hypochlorites, our method shows strong selectivity toward hypochlorites over other oxidizing agents such as H2O2. The assay was validated by the detection of hypochlorites in water samples, with recoveries between 98.2% and 104.3%.

Abstract
The mechanism of the fluorescence quenching of the CQDs by warfarin was determined and based on this study a simple, low cost and highly sensitive nanosensor was developed for determination of Warfarin in plasma samples. The carbon quantum dots with 3.5 µs lifetime (halflife of 2.4 µs) were synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized. The fluorescence rate constant of 4.5 × 104 s-1 and quenching rate constant of 6.18 × 104 s-1 (from 10 μM warfarin that result in 17% lifetime reduction) was calculated. High quenching efficiency results in 21.63 L mmol-1 Stern-Volmer constant and the study of pH and temperature also confirm the dynamic quenching mechanism. The second order rate constant of 6.18 × 104 L mmol-1 s-1 was obtained for collisions between CQDs and warfarin. Based on this mechanism, a simple, low cost and very sensitive warfarin nanosensor was developed with calibration sensitivity of 21.63 L mmol-1, working range of 0.10 - 12.00 μM and detection limit of 0.01 μM.

Abstract
The photoluminescence from n-hexane solutions of the dyes obtained by the introduction of amino groups into the meta position of the phenyl rings of 3,5-diphenyl-8-CF3-BODIPY was found to be strongly quenched by some aromatic molecules (benzene and toluene). On the contrary, the introduction of an amino group into the para position does not lead to significant quenching. The quenching of photoluminescence from the meta derivatives obeys the mixed static + dynamic mechanism. Temperature-dependent time-resolved fluorescence measurements were performed to determine the Stern-Volmer constants of the static and dynamic components of quenching. It follows from these data that the binding energy between luminophore and toluene molecules is about 5.0 kcal/mol in the ground state and larger than 3.4 kcal/mol in the excited state. Complexation with toluene facilitates the intramolecular charge transfer in the BODIPY derivatives with the meta position of the amino groups, resulting in photoluminescence quenching.

Abstract
A heterocyclic Schiff base (MPDPI)was synthesized by the condensation reaction of 1-phenylisatin with 4,5-dimethylphenylene diamine. It was characterized by using spectroscopic methods including UV visible, Infrared, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectrometry. It acts as the fluorescent probe for the detection of Vitamin B12 (Vit.B12) which shows high selectivity over other species via dynamic quenching mechanism. It is also highly sensitive towards Vit.B12 with a detection limit of [Formula: see text]M and showed a linear concentration ranging from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text]. Effect of other coexisting species was also studied. The satisfactory results were also obtained in real samples.Since, there are only few reports on Vit.B12, development of selective fluorescent probes for Vit.B12 would be worthwhile.

Abstract
As an important bioactive component in plants, chlorogenic acid (CGA) has been widely studied for its potential role in human health. In this work, cyan fluorescent silicon quantum dots were successfully synthesized via a simple one-pot method for the rapid detection of CGA. The optimal excitation and emission wavelength of the obtained SiQDs was 350 nm and 470 nm, respectively. When the CGA was added, the maximum emission intensity of the SiQDs can be effectively quenched due to dynamic and static mixed quenching mechanisms. More significantly, there was a remarkable linear correlation between fluorescence quenching efficiency and a broad concentration of CGA solution range from 10 to 150 μmol/L with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.43 μmol/L. Furthermore, the proposed SiQDs were successfully applied to analyze CGA in coffee beans and instant coffee after simple pretreatment with satisfactory results. Based on these, a high sensitivity and excellent selectivity fluorescent probe detection system was constructed, and it provides a valuable platform for the detection of CGA and has broad application prospects in the biological and pharmaceutical analysis field.

Abstract
Herein we have studied the noncovalent molecular interactions between hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) and the commonly employed antineoplastic drug gemcitabine through the cumulative implementation of spectroscopic techniques and in silico approaches. The formation of a complex between HEWL and gemcitabine was made evident by the differences between the UV-visible spectra of the protein and protein-gemcitabine complex. Fluorescence quenching of HEWL by gemcitabine was hardly detectable at room temperature, but it became prominent at higher temperatures. Very low values for the bimolecular quenching constant and the non-reciprocal dependence of quenching on temperature indicated that dynamic quenching was taking place. Analysis of experimental data indicated that the interaction was dominated by hydrophobic forces, while the results of a computational investigation suggested the concomitant contribution of hydrogen bonding. Gemcitabine binding induced modifications of the secondary structure of HEWL by slightly increasing the α-helical content of the protein. Finally, gemcitabine binding site was inferred to be located in HEWL big hydrophobic cavity.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) is the key enzyme for the virus gene replication and the most important target for antiviral therapy. Toxicity, drug resistance and side effects have led to search for new antiviral agents. Farnesiferol C (FC) is a well-known biologically active sesquiterpene coumarin derivative from genus Ferula. The current study was designed to examine the impacts of FC on the structure and function of HIV-1 RT, using some theoretical and experimental methods. FC inhibited HIV-1RT activity via mixed inhibition mechanism (IC50 = 30 μM). Spectroscopic data showed some conformational changes in the secondary as well as tertiary structure of HIV-1RT following the interaction with FC. Results showed that FC could quench the intrinsic fluorescence emission of HIV-1RT through static quenching mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters revealed that hydrogen bondings and van der Waals forces are the major forces in the binding reaction and the low equilibrium constants (KD) value obtained from surface plasmon resonance data, confirmed the high affinity of FC for HIV-1RT. Molecular docking studies indicated that FC interacts with enzyme through hydrophobic pocket. Taken together, the outcomes of this research revealed that, sesquiterpene coumarines can be used to design natural remedies as anti-HIV agents.

Abstract
Carotenoids (Cars) regulate the energy flow towards the reaction centres in a versatile way whereby the switch between energy harvesting and dissipation is strongly modulated by the operation of the xanthophyll cycles. However, the cascade of molecular mechanisms during the change from light harvesting to energy dissipation remains spectrally poorly understood. By characterizing the in vivo absorbance changes (ΔA) of leaves from four species in the 500-600 nm range through a Gaussian decomposition, while measuring passively simultaneous Chla fluorescence (F) changes, we present a direct observation of the quick antenna adjustments during a 3-min dark-to-high-light induction. Underlying spectral behaviours of the 500-600 nm ΔA feature can be characterized by a minimum set of three Gaussians distinguishing very quick dynamics during the first minute. Our results show the parallel trend of two Gaussian components and the prompt Chla F quenching. Further, we observe similar quick kinetics between the relative behaviour of these components and the in vivo formations of antheraxanthin (Ant) and zeaxanthin (Zea), in parallel with the dynamic quenching of singlet excited chlorophyll a (1Chla*) states. After these simultaneous quick kinetical behaviours of ΔA and F during the first minute, the 500-600 nm feature continues to increase, indicating a further enhanced absorption driven by the centrally located Gaussian until 3 min after sudden light exposure. Observing these precise underlying kinetic trends of the spectral behaviour in the 500-600 nm region shows the large potential of in vivo leaf spectroscopy to bring new insights on the quick redistribution and relaxation of excitation energy, indicating a key role for both Ant and Zea.

Abstract
The ability of drugs to diffuse through the lipid bilayer of cell membranes is important for their metabolism, distribution, and efficacy. In this study, the interaction between phloretin and human serum albumin (HSA) in an L-egg lecithin phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposome suspension was investigated by fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy. The spectroscopic and fluorescence quenching experiments show that phloretin molecules penetrated into the lumen of the liposome. The partition coefficient of phloretin in the PC liposome suspensions was calculated from fluorescence quenching measurements. The results show that phloretin efficiently quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a combination of dynamic and static quenching. The values of Gibbs free energy, and the enthalpy and entropic change in the binding process of phloretin with HSA in the PC liposome suspensions were negative, suggesting that the binding process of phloretin and HSA was spontaneous. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals force interactions play an important role in the interaction between the two molecules. In addition, binding of phloretin to HSA in liposome suspensions was investigated by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
The manuscript describes two fluorimetric methods for the determination of some antiemetic drugs namely granisetron HCl, ondansetron HCl and tropisetron HCl, used in the management of nausea and vomiting induced by cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Granisetron HCl solution exhibits a native fluorescence, which can be applied for its determination at 365 nm upon excitation at 305 nm. The method was applied for the determination of granisetron HCl in drug substance, drug product as well as in presence of its acid induced degradation products. The quantum yield was calculated. The second proposed method is based on measuring the quenching effect induced by ondansetron HCl or tropisetron HCl on the fluorescence intensity of cerrous ammonium sulphate at λem 348 nm upon excitation at 250 nm in acidic medium. The analysis of quenching data showed that quenching of cerrous ammonium sulphate induced by ondansetron HCl or tropisetron HCl is mainly through dynamic quenching. Various variables affecting fluorescence response were studied and optimized. The obtained results were found to be statistically agreed with those obtained from the official or reported ones. Moreover, the validity of the methods was assessed according to ICH guidelines.

Abstract
A thiol-labeled adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding aptamer is covalently linked on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). This warrants protection of the red AuNPs from aggregation in high salt condition. The dispersed AuNPs can quench the fluorescence of the Tb(III)-MOFs at 547 nm with the excitation wavelength of 290 nm. This is ascribed to the combined action of inner filter effect, dynamic quenching and fluorescence resonance energy transfer. If the aptamer binds ATP to form folded structures, the AuNPs aggregate in high salt medium and the green fluorescence of the Tb(III)-MOFs is recovered. This method shows good sensitivity and selectivity for ATP, and the linear range is from 0.5 to 10 μM of ATP with the detection limitat of 0.32 μM. It was applied to the determination of ATP in (spiked) human plasma with satisfactory recoveries (from 93.2% to 106.3%). Oppositely, when the unlabeled aptamer is used instead of thiol-labeled aptamer in this process, the ATP-aptamer complexes rather than unlabeled aptamer provide greater protection for AuNPs against salt-induced aggregation. It is found that when the aptamer covalently binds to AuNPs, the steric hindrance is dominant for the stabilization of AuNPs; for unlabeled aptamer, the electrostatic repulsion is responsible for their stability, irrespective of whether ATP is present or not. These two different forces lead to the aggregation or dispersion of AuNPs with addition of target in salt solution. Graphical abstractThe impact of two repulsive forces (electrostatic repulsion and steric repulsion) on the stabilization of gold nanoparticles, and its application in fluorescent terbium metal-organic frameworks as a nanoprobe for adenosine triphosphate.

Abstract
A novel fluorescence probe based on graphene-aminofluorescein (GAF) for sensing glutamate is prepared by modifying graphene oxide (GO) with 5-aminofluorescein (AF), and shows high sensitivity and selectivity. The strong fluorescence of the GAF probe is quenched in the presence of glutamate, and the quenching exhibits a good linear relationship with the glutamate concentration within the range of 1-45 mg/L. In bovine serum, the accurate quantitation of glutamate is possible within the range of 6 mg/L to 30 mg/L. At the pH of 3.32 (close to the isoelectric point of glutamate), GAF can selectively detect glutamate in preference to other amino acids. The high sensitivity and specificity of this sensor enable a new method for the detection of glutamate in aqueous solutions and serums.

Abstract
During the past decade, carbon dots have emerged as a fascinating class of luminescent nanomaterials with versatile application potentials in bioimaging, labeling, photocatalysis and optoelectronics. Currently, intensive research is concentrated on understanding the intriguing optical properties of these promising materials and their utility as luminescence sensors. In this article, we describe the photoluminescence of carbon dots obtained from a bioresource (lemon juice) and from a small molecule precursor (glycerol), especially the quenching of their emission by nitrobenzene and Hg2+ ions, as representative cases. Stern-Volmer analysis using steady-state and time-resolved emission measurements, suggests the involvement of both transient quenching and dynamic quenching mechanisms in the interaction of the carbon dots with nitrobenzene. The radius of the quenching sphere is estimated to be slightly greater than the contact distances between the respective carbon dots and nitrobenzene, which is in reasonable agreement with the "sphere of action" model for transient quenching. In the interaction with Hg2+ ions, electrostatic attraction plays a major role, and the quenching mechanism involves predominantly static and dynamic quenching. The static quenching constant matches well with the binding constant of the carbon dots with the metal ion.

Abstract
A method is described for the rapid fluorometric determination of dopamine (DA) by using molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs) that were fabricated via an ammonium hydroxide etching method. The probe has a fluorescence (with excitation/emission peaks at 267/380 nm) that is quenched by DA with high selectivity over various interferences. This is attributed to a reaction that occurs between DA and the molybdate ions in pH 9 solutions of MoS2 QDs. The formation of organic molybdate complexes and of dopamine-quinone results in strong quenching of the fluorescence of the QDs which is due to both electron transfer and an inner filter effect. Under the optimum conditions, the assay works in the 0.1-100 μM DA concentration range, with two linear ranges and a 10 nM detection limit. The method was applied to the determination of DA in spiked artificial urine samples, where it gave recoveries ranging from 97.6 to 102.2%, demonstrating that the method a promising tool for rapid and selective detection of DA. Graphical abstract MoS2 QDs are facilely synthesized via the etching effect of ammonium hydroxide for highly selective fluorometric detection of dopamine.

Abstract
The interaction of Acid Orange 10 (AO10) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated comparatively with that of human serum albumin (HSA) using multispectroscopic techniques for understanding their toxic mechanism. Further, density functional theory calculations and docking studies have been carried out to gain more insights into the nature of interactions existing between AO10 and serum albumins. The fluorescence results suggest that AO10 quenched the fluorescence of BSA through the combination of static and dynamic quenching mechanism. The same trend was followed in the interaction of AO10 with HSA. In addition to the type of quenching mechanism, the fluorescence spectroscopic results suggest that the binding occurs near the tryptophan moiety of serum albumins and the binding. AO10 has more binding affinity towards BSA than HSA. An AO10-Trp model has been created to explicitly understand the CHπ interactions from Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules analysis which confirmed that AO10 bind more strongly with BSA than that of HSA due to the formation of three hydrogen bonds with BSA whereas it forms two hydrogen bonds in the case of HSA. These obtained results provide an in-depth understanding of the interaction of the acid azo dye AO10 with serum albumins. This interaction study provides insights into the underlying reasons for toxicity of AO10 relevant to understand its effect on bovids and humans during the blood transportation process.

Abstract
The authors describe a simple and economical fluorescence method for the determination of nitrite by utilizing the fact that nitrite possesses strong oxidation in acidic solution and is capable to transform iron(II) into iron(III) ions. The latter quenches the fluorescence of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) based on the fluorescence static and dynamic quenching effect. The optimum reaction conditions and other analytical parameters are investigated to enhance the sensitivity of the method. At the excitation wavelength of 360 nm, this probe has a linear response in the 10 to 400 μM nitrite concentration range, with a correlation coefficient of R2 = 0.9958 (n = 3) and a detection limit of 0.48 μM. This method was successfully applied to the determination of nitrite in three different sausage samples and gave recoveries in the range between 101.8 to 103.0%, demonstrating the accuracy, reliability and potential application of this assay for monitoring nitrite. Graphical Abstract The carbon quantum dot/iron(II) ions system was used for the fluorometric detection of nitrite in food and environmental water. This probe exploits the oxidizing property of nitrite in acidic solution. Iron(II) is oxidized to iron(III) which exerts a strong fluorescence quenching effect.

Abstract
Porous graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was prepared by a one-step acid etching and ultrasonication process. It is found that the strong blue fluorescence of g-C3N4 (with excitation/emission maxima at 320/400 nm) is fairly selectively quenched by uric acid (UA). The morphology and chemical structure of the nanoporous g-C3N4 were characterized by XRD, TEM and FTIR. Quenching studies and Stern-Volmer plots reveal two UA concentration ranges of different quenching efficiency. The first extends from 50 to 500 nM, the other from 0.5 to 10 μM. The limit of detection is 8.4 nM. The two quenching processes are attributed to both dynamic and static quenching. The porous g-C3N4 probes were applied to the determination of UA in (spiked) human serum and human plasma, and the results were as good as those obtained with UA standard solutions. These data illustrate that g-C3N4 can be used to selectively and sensitively quantify trace levels of UA even in a complex environment. Graphical abstract Porous graphite nitride carbon (g-C3N4) is shown to be a viable fluorescent probe for uric acid (UA) via both dynamic and static quenching. The electron transfer of carbon nitride is represented by the arrows; hν is the incident light; PL is the fluorescence emission.

Abstract
The information of the quenching reaction of bovine serum albumin with dimethyl fumarate is obtained by multi-spectroscopic methods. The number of binding sites, n and binding constants, KA were determined at different temperatures. The effect of increasing temperature on Stern-Volmer quenching constants (KD) indicates that a dynamic quenching mechanism is involved in the interaction. The analysis of thermodynamic quantities namely, ∆H° and ∆S° suggested hydrophobic forces playing a major role in the interaction between dimethyl fumarate and bovine serum albumin. The binding site of dimethyl fumarate on bovine serum albumin was determined by displacement studies, using the site probes viz., warfarin, ibuprofen and digitoxin. The determination of magnitude of the distance of approach for molecular interactions between dimethyl fumarate and bovine serum albumin is calculated according to the theory of Förster energy transfer. The CD, 3D fluorescence spectra, synchronous fluorescence measurements and FT-IR spectral results were indicative of the change in secondary structure of the protein. The influence of some of the metal ions on the binding interaction was also studied.

Abstract
The objective of this work is to assess the use of constant-wavelength synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) in comparison to conventional fluorescence spectroscopy (CFS) for the investigation of the supramolecular host-guest interaction of β-CD with propranolol (PPL) in aqueous solutions. Scanning for the optimal Δλ at which the SFS can be performed in the presence of β-CD was examined. The results obtained revealed three distinguishable shapes for PPL using SFS that can be represented by three different Δλ values, namely 10, 40, and 100 nm. However, the effect of the β-CD concentration on the fluorescence intensity of PPL was examined using CFS and SFS of PPL at a Δλ of 10 and 100 nm. The change in the fluorescence intensity was used to calculate the equilibrium constant (Keq) for the formation of the β-CD:PPL inclusion complex by applying the Benesi-Hildebrand method. Keq values of 108, 112, and 117 M(-1) were obtained using SFS with a Δλ of 10 and 100 nm, and CFS, respectively. Further, the SFS method was successfully employed to examine the iodide quenching effect on the fluorescence intensity of PPL, where the results obtained revealed a Stern-Volmer quenching constant of 42.8 M(-1), which is in good agreement with results obtained using CFS. All results obtained using the SFS method were compared with the results obtained using the CFS method.

Abstract
The fluorescence quenching of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin by different TEMPO derivatives was studied in aqueous solutions with the use of steady-state, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy as well as UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy methods. In order to distinguish each TEMPO derivative from the others and to understand the mechanism of quenching, the absorption and fluorescence emission spectra as well as decays of the fluorescence of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin were registered as a function of each TEMPO derivative concentration. There were no deviations from a linearity in the Stern-Volmer plots (determined from both, steady-state and time-resolved measurements). The fluorescence quenching mechanism was found to be entirely collisional, what was additionally confirmed by the registration of Stern-Volmer plots at 5 temperatures ranging from 15 to 55°C. Based on theoretical calculations of molecular radii and ionization potentials of all TEMPO derivatives the mechanism of electron transfer was rejected. The fluorescence quenching which was being studied seems to be diffusion-limited and caused by the increase of non-radiative processes, such as an internal conversion and an intersystem crossing. The Stern-Volmer quenching constants and bimolecular quenching constants were determined at the room temperature for all TEMPO derivatives studied. Among all TEMPO derivatives studied TEMPO-4-amino-4-carboxylic acid (TOAC) was found to be the most effective quencher of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin fluorescence (kq for TOAC was approximately 1.5 higher than kq for other TEMPO compounds studied). The findings demonstrate the possibility of developing an analytical method for the quantitative determination of TOAC, which incorporation into membrane proteins may provide a direct detection of peptide backbone dynamics.

In order to understand the mechanism of quenching the absorption and fluorescence emission spectra of all fluoroquinolone antibiotics studied as well as decreases of their fluorescence were registered as a function of the 4-hydroxy-TEMPO concentration. No deviations from a linearity in the Stern-Volmer plots (determined from both, steady-state and time-resolved measurements) were observed. The fluorescence quenching mechanism was proved to be totally dynamic, what was additionally confirmed by the registration of Stern-Volmer plots at 5 temperatures ranging from 15 to 55°C. On the basis of theoretical calculations of fluoroquinolones' molecular radii and ionization potentials the mechanism of electron transfer was rejected.

Abstract
Here, we present a fast and simple hydrogen peroxide assay that is based on time-resolved fluorescence. The emission intensity of a complex consisting of terbium ions (Tb(3+)) and phthalic acid (PA) in HEPES buffer is quenched in the presence of H2O2 and this quenching is concentration-dependent. The novel PATb assay detects hydrogen peroxide at a pH range from 7.5 to 8.5 and with a detection limit of 150 nmol L(-1) at pH 8.5. The total assay time is less than 1 min. The linear range of the assay can be adapted by a pH adjustment of the aqueous buffer and covers a concentration range from 310 nmol L(-1) to 2.56 mmol L(-1) in total which encompasses four orders of magnitude. The assay is compatible with high concentrations of all 47 tested inorganic and organic compounds. The PATb assay was applied to quantify H2O2 in polluted river water samples. In conclusion, this fast and easy-to-use assay detects H2O2 with high sensitivity and precision.

Abstract
The dependence of fluorescence emission of 2-amino-3-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone on titanium dioxide (TiO2) in methanol has been investigated. The increase in TiO2 concentration causes a decrease in the fluorescence intensity of 2-amino-3-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone. A linear Stern-Volmer plot in this study indicates the presence of dynamic quenching. The quenching and association constants have been calculated. The quenching process is due to the electron transfer from 2-amino-3-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone to TiO2.

Abstract
Aggregated β-amyloid deposit is a hallmark in the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease but their mechanism of formation still remains unresolved. Previously we reported that a normal pentapeptide Aβ(17-21) and glycine zipper peptide Aβ(29-33) strongly inhibited nitric oxide synthase and rapidly initiated fibrillogenesis. Critical amino acids within these fragments were not identified. We now report on the interaction of four pseudo-peptides with nNOS - two peptides with a reversed amino acid sequence [Aβ(17-21r); Aβ(29-33r)] and two peptides with Phe19, Phe20 and Ile31, Ile32 substituted with polar glutamic acid [Aβ(17-21p); Aβ(29-33p)]. It was shown that while the inhibitor constants (Ki) increased 2-3 fold for each of the pseudo-peptides when compared with the normal peptides the dissociation constant Kd increased between 20 and 50 fold. Stern-Volmer fluorescence quenching constants (K(SV)) for Aβ(17-21p) and Aβ(29-33p) were 7.2×10(-3) and 6.1×10(-3) μM(-1) respectively at 298 K some 2-3 fold lower than the corresponding Aβ(17-21r); Aβ(29-33r). With temperature increase there was an increase in K(SV) and Kd, suggesting a dynamic quenching mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters, ΔH, ΔS and ΔG were all positive indicating endothermic, non-spontaneous, hydrophobic-hydrophobic associations of the pseudo-peptides with the enzyme. By FRET analysis the efficiency of fluorescence transfer between enzyme tryptophans and the pseudo-peptides was 90% (compared to 97% for the natural substrate). The distance the tryptophans moved after interaction with Aβ(17-21r) and Aβ(17-21p) was 10% greater, while for Aβ(29-33r) and Aβ(29-33p) it was 20-25% greater, than with the normal peptides; the fluorescence intensity was 20-75% higher. This increase in distance, fluorescent intensity and transfer efficiency illustrate an increase in interaction energy for the pseudo-peptides with nNOS lending support for the strategic position of the Phe19, Phe20, Ile31 and Ile32 in the original peptides not only for inhibition of the nNOS but for initiation of fibrillogenesis.
