Influence of Hydrophobicity on Excitonic Coupling in DNA-Templated Indolenine Squaraine Dye Aggregates

Olga A. Mass et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of dye hydrophobicity on the strength of excitonic coupling in squaraine aggregates templated by DNA Holliday Junction. It shows a strong correlation between squaraine hydrophobicity and the strength of excitonic coupling, with dimers of dichloroindolenine squaraine exhibiting the strongest coupling strength. The research provides insights into how dye structures affect excitonic coupling in dye aggregates templated by DNA, offering guidance for the design of exciton-based materials and devices.

Explaining the Efficiency of Photosynthesis: Quantum Uncertainty or Classical Vibrations?

Johan E. Runeson et al.

Summary: This study examines the role of quantum effects in energy transfer in photosynthetic organisms, specifically focusing on the debate surrounding vibrational mechanisms. Contrary to recent claims, the researchers present evidence showing that a description involving quantum electrons and classical nuclei is sufficient to explain energy funneling to the reaction center. The findings suggest that the ability of trajectories to properly account for Newton's third law is the key difference leading to this discrepancy.

Data-Driven and Multiscale Modeling of DNA-Templated Dye Aggregates

Austin Biaggne et al.

Summary: A computational workflow using machine learning, density functional theory, time-dependent density functional theory, and molecular dynamics was established to identify dyes with large transition dipole moments (mu) for excitonic applications. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of this workflow in developing new dyes for excitonic applications.

Oblique Packing and Tunable Excitonic Coupling in DNA-Templated Squaraine Rotaxane Dimer Aggregates

Matthew S. Barclay et al.

Summary: An elusive oblique packing arrangement in molecules is achieved using mechanically interlocked molecules. The spatial arrangement of molecules is controlled by templating and chemical substitution. The distinct signature of oblique packing is observed in the absorption spectra and validated by theoretical modeling. Fine control of packing is demonstrated by fluorinating the macrocycle of the molecules.

Photocrosslinking Probes Proximity of Thymine Modifiers Tethering Excitonically Coupled Dye Aggregates to DNA Holliday Junction

Shibani Basu et al.

Summary: In this study, a DNA Holliday junction scaffold was used to investigate the relative positions of squaraine-labeled thymine modifiers and their correlation with excitonic coupling strength. Photocrosslinking between squaraine-labeled thymine modifiers was carried out, and the outcomes were evaluated. The study found that a combination of adjacent dimer configuration, strong dye-dye interactions, and an A-T neighboring base pair was necessary for high-yield photocrosslinking reactions.

Activating charge-transfer state formation in strongly-coupled dimers using DNA scaffolds

Stephanie M. Hart et al.

Summary: This study reports a DNA-chromophore platform that enables tailored long-range excitonic couplings and short-range charge-transfer couplings. Through combinatorial screening, the researchers discovered chromophore geometries that can enhance or suppress photochemistry. The results demonstrate the possibility of symmetry-breaking charge transfer in DNA-scaffolded squaraines, which was not previously achieved.

Molecular dynamics simulations of cyanine dimers attached to DNA Holliday junctions

Austin Biaggne et al.

Summary: Dye aggregates and their excitonic properties are of interest for various applications, and DNA scaffolding has been effective in promoting controllable dye aggregation. Molecular dynamics simulations show that dye attachment locations on DNA Holliday junctions can affect dye-DNA interactions and resulting dye orientations. Transverse dyes exhibited smaller inter-dye separations and more stacked configurations compared to adjacent dyes.

Substituent Effects on the Solubility and Electronic Properties of the Cyanine Dye Cy5: Density Functional and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory Calculations

Austin Biaggne et al.

Summary: The properties of dye monomers greatly influence their aggregation ability and exciton dynamics. By engineering dyes with specific substituents, optimal key properties like hydrophobicity and dipole moments can be achieved. This study found that electron withdrawing substituents significantly affect the solvation energy of the dye, while various pairs of substituents can enhance the static dipole difference.

Dinucleotides as simple models of the base stacking-unstacking component of DNA 'breathing' mechanisms

Eric R. Beyerle et al.

Summary: Regulatory protein access to the interior of the DNA duplex is dependent on local DNA breathing fluctuations, primarily driven by thermally-induced base stacking-unstacking interactions. Using the dinucleotide dApdA as a model, researchers studied stacking-unstacking phenomena at a molecular level, revealing the role of ionic structure and water orientation in controlling DNA breathing fluctuations. Molecular Dynamics simulations and Markov State Model analyses were utilized to validate the findings, which were further supported by calculations of circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The study identified distinct chiral conformations in dApdA, representing different forms of base pairing and highlighting the importance of ion condensation and hydrogen bonding in duplex DNA dynamics.

Rotaxane rings promote oblique packing and extended lifetimes in DNA-templated molecular dye aggregates

Matthew S. Barclay et al.

Summary: Molecular excitons play a crucial role in various fields such as light harvesting and organic electronics, with their structure and dynamics being influenced by molecular packing. The addition of rotaxane rings to squaraine dyes templated with DNA can result in an oblique packing arrangement with improved optical properties. This method may be beneficial for optimizing excitonic materials for applications ranging from solar energy conversion to quantum information science.
