Polyanion-induced circular dichroism of Thioflavin T

Abstract: Abstract. Thioflavin T (ThT) is amyloid specific fluorescence dye possessing the properties of molecular rotor. We have shown that Thioflavin T forms complexes with non-peptide polyanions heparin, polyadenylate and polystyrene sulphonate by means of absorption spectroscopy. In the presence of chiral polyanions -heparin and polyadenylate -induced optical activity of ThT occurs whereas interaction with achiral polystyrene sulphonate (PSS) does not lead to production of induced circular dichroism signal. The posi… Show more

“…The excitonic coupling between neighboring molecules in aggregates is distinctly revealed in electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectra where two successive absorption bands of opposite signs characterize the excitonic interaction. , To characterize this aspect, we have performed the electronic CD measurements for the PMA–SCD complex and the results have been presented in Figure S6 (Supporting Information). It is evident that the CD spectrum changes from a negative to positive cotton effect at the PMA-aggregate absorption band, therefore constituting a clear bi-signate CD signal, suggesting the existence of excitonic interactions in the present system, whereas only PMA or only SCD remains spectroscopically silent in the CD spectra in the same wavelength region.…”

“…The excitonic interaction between the ThT molecules in the aggregated form is further confirmed by electronic circular dichroism (CD) measurements, which displays a clear bisignate CD signal in the absorption region of ThT chromophores (Figure A). The bisignate feature is characteristic of the aggregates, and can be assigned to excitonic coupling between transition dipole moments of ThT. , With an aim to establish that the enhanced fluorescence of ThT, in the presence of heparin, arises from ThT H-aggregates, the excitation spectrum was measured for the red-shifted emission band of 560 nm. The excitation spectra (Figure S1) displays a maximum at 393 nm which matches quite nicely with the absorption maximum (∼393 nm) collected for ThT H-aggregates, clearly suggesting that the increased fluorescence band at 560 nm correspond to H-aggregate.…”

“…For metmyoglobin complex formation with heparin has been established by absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as differential scanning microcalorimetry in a pH‐dependent manner, but no binding affinities are reported. Ovalbumin exhibited no heparin affinity in mass spectrometry analysis .…”

“…In order to determine the binding behavior of P‐selectin and ascertain whether it was a typical or unusual behavior, we have investigated five model proteins, namely human serum albumin (HSA) , bovine serum albumin (BSA) , beta Lactoglobulin (Beta‐LG), myoglobin and ovalbumin , and an additional protein namely vitronectin for their binding behavior with heparinoids. An overview of the main properties of the proteins is summarized in Table .…”
