摘要: Femtosecond transient absorption and fluorescence upconversion experiments have been performed to investigate the photoinduced dynamics of meta isomer green fluorescent protein chromophore, m-HBDI, its O-methylated derivative, m-MeOBDI, in various solvent mixtures at neutral, acidic, basic pH. The para isomer, p-HBDI, O- N-methylated derivatives, p-MeOBDI p-HBDIMe(+), were also studied for comparison. In all cases, fast quenching excited S1 state by internal conversion (IC) ground was observed. compounds, IC, presumably promoted twisting, arises <1 ps. A similar process takes place compounds nonaqueous solvents but with notably slower kinetics. aqueous solutions, undergo ultrafast intermolecular excited-state proton transfer that competes isomerization.
