Chiral separation and spectroscopic characterization of mefloquine analogues.

Mefloquine, a widely used antimalarial agent, has spurred ongoing research into the development of derivatives with enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects. In this investigation, we synthesized two compounds containing N-allyl or N-tert-butylacetamid groups. A chiral liquid chromatography with polysaccharide chiral stationary phase was utilized to separate the enantiomers of both derivatives. We employed spectroscopic chiroptical and non-polarizable methods such as electronic and vibrational circular dichroism, infrared absorption and ultraviolet spectroscopies. Combined with density functional theory calculations, the stable conformers were found in solution and their spectra were subsequently simulated. We elucidated the three-dimensional structure of the enantiomerically pure compounds and assigned the absolute configuration of all prepared derivatives using both experimental and simulated spectra.

Perylene-Embedded Helical Nanographenes with Emission up to 1010 nm: Synthesis, Structures, and Chiroptical Properties.

Near-infrared (NIR) circularly polarized absorbing or emitting materials offer distinct advantages over their visible-light counterparts and have attracted considerable interest across various fields. Materials exhibiting NIR chiroptical properties with high fluorescence quantum yields (ΦF) are particularly rare. In this study, we report the synthesis of a series of helical nanographenes (1, 2, 3, and 4), where perylene is fused with one to four hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (sub)units via a strategy involving Diels-Alder cycloaddition followed by Scholl reaction. X-ray crystallographic analysis confirmed their structures, revealing helicene moieties integrated into a highly contorted framework. Benefiting from a similar distribution pattern of frontier molecular orbitals to perylene and extended π-conjugation, compounds 1-4 demonstrate respectable ΦF values of 31.9%, 15.0%, 13.7%, and 6.5%, respectively, with emission maxima reaching up to 1010 nm. Their enantiopure forms, isolated by preparative chiral HPLC, exhibit distinct circular dichroism signals and circularly polarized luminescence across a broad spectral range, extending from the ultraviolet to the NIR.

Mechanistic basis for a single amino acid residue mutation causing human DNA ligase 1 deficiency, a rare pediatric disease.

In mammalian cells, DNA ligase 1 (LIG1) functions as the primary DNA ligase in both genomic replication and single-strand break repair. Several reported mutations in human LIG1, including R305Q, R641L, and R771W, cause LIG1 syndrome, a primary immunodeficiency. While the R641L and R771W mutations, respectively located in the nucleotidyl transferase and oligonucleotide binding domains, have been biochemically characterized and shown to reduce catalytic efficiency, the recently reported R305Q mutation within the DNA binding domain (DBD) remains mechanistically unexplored. The R641L and R771W mutations are known to decrease the catalytic activity of LIG1 by affecting both interdomain interactions and DNA binding during catalysis, without significantly impacting overall DNA affinity. To elucidate the molecular basis of the LIG1 syndrome-causing R305Q mutation, we purified this single-residue mutant protein and investigated its secondary structure, protein stability, DNA binding affinity, and catalytic efficiency. Our findings reveal that the R305Q mutation significantly impairs the function of LIG1 by disrupting the DBD-DNA interactions, leading to a 7 to 21-fold lower DNA binding affinity and a 33 to 300-fold reduced catalytic efficiency of LIG1. Additionally, the R305Q mutation slightly decreases LIG1's protein stability by 2 to 3.6 °C, on par with the effect observed previously with either the R641L or R771W mutant. Collectively, our results uncover a new mechanism whereby the R305Q mutation impairs LIG1-catalyzed nicked DNA ligation, resulting in LIG1 syndrome, and highlight the crucial roles of the DBD-DNA interactions in tight DNA binding and efficient LIG1 catalysis.

A spectroscopic study on the Amyloid-ß interaction with clicked peptide-porphyrin conjugates: a vision toward the detection of Aß peptides in aqueous solution.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial form of dementia mainly affecting people in the elderly, but no effective cure is available. According to the amyloid hypothesis the aggregation of Amyloid-ß (Aß) into oligomeric toxic species is believed to concur with the onset and progression of the disease heavily. By using a click chemistry approach, we conjugated a suitable designed peptide sequence to a metalloporphyrin moiety to obtain three hybrid peptide systems to be studied for their interact ion with Amyloid-ß peptides. The aim is to get new tools for the diagnosis and therapy in AD. The results described in this study, which were obtained through spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis, CD, Bis-Ans and intrinsic porphyrin Fluorescence), Microfluidics (GCI) and cell biology (MTT, Live cell imaging and flow cytometry), reveal interesting features about the structure-activity relationships connecting these conjugates with the interaction with Aß, as well as on their potential use as sensing systems. In our opinion the data reported in this paper make the porphyrin-peptide conjugates highly compelling for further exploration as spectroscopic probes to detect Aß biomarkers in biological fluids.

Resolving the Structure of a Guanine Quadruplex in TMPRSS2 Messenger RNA by Circular Dichroism and Molecular Modeling.

The presence of a guanine quadruplex in the opening reading frame of the messenger RNA coding for the transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) may pave the way to original anticancer and host-oriented antiviral strategy. Indeed, TMPRSS2 in addition to being overexpressed in different cancer types, is also related to the infection of respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, by promoting the cellular and viral membrane fusion through its proteolytic activity. The design of selective ligands targeting TMPRSS2 messenger RNA requires a detailed knowledge, at atomic level, of its structure. Therefore, we have used an original experimental-computational protocol to predict the first resolved structure of the parallel guanine quadruplex secondary structure in the RNA of TMPRSS2, which shows a rigid core flanked by a flexible loop. This represents the first atomic scale structure of the guanine quadruplex structure present in TMPRSS2 messenger RNA.

Antibacterial profile and antiproliferative activities over human tumor cells of new silver(I) complexes containing two distinct trifluoromethyl uracil isomers.

New silver(I) complexes of 5-(trifluoromethyl)uracil (5TFMU) and 6-(trifluoromethyl)uracil (6TFMU) isomers were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated as antibacterial and antiproliferative agents. Based on elemental and thermogravimetric analyses, the Ag-5TFMU and Ag-6TFMU species are formulated as AgC5H2F3N2O2 and Ag2C5HF3N2O2, respectively. Infrared and 13C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies suggest coordination of the trifluoromethyluracil isomers to silver by both nitrogen and oxygen atoms. Confirmation of their structure and connectivity was achieved, in the absence of single crystals of suitable quality, by state-of-the-art structural powder diffraction methods. In Ag-5TFMU, the organic ligand is tridentate and two distinct metal coordination environments are found (linear AgN2 as well as C2v AgO4 geometries), whereas Ag-6TFMU contains a complex polymeric structure with tetradentate dianionic 6TFMU moieties and five distinct AgX2 (X = N, O) fragments, further stabilized by ancillary (longer) Ag…O contacts. These species presented modest activity over Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, whereas Ag-6TFMU was active over a set of tumor cells, with the best activity over prostate (PC-3) and kidney cell lines and selectivity indices of 4.6 and 1.3, respectively. On the other hand, Ag-5TFMU was active over all considered tumor cells except MCF-7 (breast cancer). The best activity was found for PC-3 cells, but no selectivity was observed. The Ag-5TFMU and Ag-6TFMU species also reduced the proliferation of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell lines SCC - 4 and SCC-15. Preliminary biophysical assays by circular dichroism suggest that the Ag-5TFMU complex interacts with DNA by intercalation, an effect not seen in Ag-6TFMU.

Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Colloidal Metal Nanoparticle Solutions by Circularly Polarized Light.

Shape symmetry breaking in the formation of inorganic nanostructures is of significant current interest. It was typically achieved through the growth of colloidal nanoparticles with adsorbed chiral molecules. Photochemical processes induced through asymmetric plasmon excitation by circularly polarized light in surface immobilized nanostructures also led to symmetry breaking. Here, we show that chiral symmetry breaking can be achieved by randomly rotating gold@silver core-shell nanobars in colloidal solution using circularly polarized illumination, where orientational averaging does not eliminate the symmetry breaking of an asymmetric plasmon-induced galvanic replacement reaction. Different morphological effects that are produced by circularly vs linearly polarized light illumination demonstrate the intricate effect of light polarization on the localized plasmonic-induced photochemical response. The essential features of this symmetry breaking, such as illumination wavelength dependence, were reproduced by simulations of circularly polarized light-excited-plasmon-induced hot-electron generation as the source for asymmetric metal deposition. The symmetry breaking becomes smaller in more symmetric geometrical shapes, such as triangular nanoprisms and nanocubes, and down to zero in spherical ones. The degree of symmetry breaking rises when the nanobars are immobilized on a substrate and illuminated from a single direction.

Synthesis, Structure, and Optical Property of [6]Cyclo-1,2-naphthylene.

A one-pot procedure with cobalt-mediated oxidation of 2,2'-dilithio-1,1'-binaphthyl by ferrocenium salts afforded the chiral cyclic hexamer of naphthylene, [6]cyclo-1,2-naphthylene (1). The molecular structure of 1 was determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography and NMR analyses, revealing its cyclic structure with an approximate D3 symmetry. Compound 1 exhibits blue emission at 383 nm with high photoluminescence quantum yield of 97%, which can be attributed to its rigid twelve-membered ring structure. Optical resolution of 1 by chiral HPLC allowed for the evaluation of its chiroptical properties. Each enantiomer exhibits circular dichroism with complex Cotton effects, which are grouped into three positive or three negative couplets. Circularly polarized luminescence is observed at 383 nm with an anisotropy factor |glum| on the order of 10-4. The high photoluminescence quantum yield and the CPL properties of 1 indicate its potential application as a CPL emitter.

Prospect for detecting magnetism in two-dimensional perovskite oxides by electron magnetic circular dichroism.

Two-dimensional (2D) magnets, especially strongly correlated 2D transition-metal perovskite oxides, have attracted significant attention due to their intriguing electromagnetic properties for potential applications in spintronic devices. Potentially electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) under zone axis conditions can provide three-dimensional components of magnetic moments in 2D materials, but the collection efficiency and the signal-to-noise ratio for out-of-plane (OOP) components is limited due to the limited collection angle. Here we conducted a comprehensive computational simulation to optimize the experimental setting of EMCD for detecting the OOP components of magnetic moments in three beam conditions (3BCs) on 2D perovskite oxides La1-xSrxMnO3 (LSMO) in a TEM. The key parameters are sample thickness, accelerating voltage, Sr doping concentration, collection semi-angle and position, and sample orientation including systematic reflections excited and tilt angle. Our simulation results demonstrate that the relative dynamical diffraction coefficients of Mn OOP EMCD of LaMnO3 with a thickness ranging from 1 unit cell (uc) to 4 uc can be optimized in a 3BC with (110) systematic reflections excited and a relatively large collection semi-angle of 19 mrad at the relatively low accelerating voltage of 80 kV. In most cases, the relative dynamic diffraction coefficients for La1-xSrxMnO3 with the thickness ranging from 1 uc to 4 uc decrease with the increase of the Sr doping concentrations. The optimal tilt angle from a zone axis to a 3BC is 18° for the cases of the LSMO thickness of 2 uc, 3 uc and 4 uc, and 22° for the monolayer LSMO. Our work provides the theoretical simulation foundation for optimized EMCD experiments for measuring OOP components of magnetic moments in 2D transition-metal perovskite oxides.

Unraveling the Origin of Reverse Plasmonic Circular Dichroism from Discrete Bichiral Au Nanoparticles.

Bichiral plasmonic nanoparticles exhibited intriguing geometry-dependent circular dichroism (CD) reversal; however, the crucial factor that dominates the plasmonic CD is still unclear. Combined with CD spectroscopy and theoretical multipole analysis, we demonstrate that plasmonic CD originates from the excitation of electric quadrupolar plasmons. Moreover, a comparative study of two distinct quadrupolar modes reveals the correlation between the sign of the CD and the local geometric handedness at the plasmonic hotspots, thereby establishing a structure-property relationship in bichiral nanoparticles. The reverse CD is attributed to the opposite directions of the wavelength shift of the two plasmon modes upon changing the particle geometry. By finely tuning the size of bichiral nanoparticles, we can further reveal that the dependence of plasmonic CD on the electric quadrupolar plasmons. Our work sheds light on the physical origin of plasmonic CD and provides important guidelines for the design of chiral plasmonic nanoparticles toward chirality-dependent applications.

Expression, characterization and cytotoxicity of recombinant l-asparaginase II from Salmonella paratyphi cloned in Escherichia coli.

L-asparaginase is a remarkable antineoplastic enzyme used in medicine for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as well as in food industries. In this work, the L-asparaginase-II gene from Salmonella paratyphi was codon-optimized, cloned, and expressed in E. coli as a His-tag fusion protein. Then, using a two-step chromatographic procedure it was purified to homogeneity as confirmed by SDS-PAGE, which also showed its monomeric molecular weight to be 37 kDa. This recombinant L-asparaginase II from Salmonella paratyphi (recSalA) was optimally active at pH 7.0 and 40 °C temperature. It was highly specific for L-asparagine as a substrate, while its glutaminase activity was low. The specific activity was found to be 197 U/mg and the kinetics elements Km, Vmax, and kcat were determined to be 21 mM, 28 µM/min, and 39.6 S-1, respectively. Thermal stability was assessed using a spectrofluorometer and showed Tm value of 45 °C. The in-vitro effects of recombinant asparaginase on three different human cancerous cell lines (MCF7, A549 and Hep-2) by MTT assay showed remarkable anti-proliferative activity. Moreover, recSalA exhibited significant morphological changes in cancer cells and IC50 values ranged from 28 to 45.5 µg/ml for tested cell lines. To investigate the binding mechanism of SalA, both substrates L-asparagine and l-glutamine were docked with the protein and the binding energy was calculated to be -4.2 kcal mol-1 and - 4.4 kcal mol-1, respectively. In summary, recSalA has significant efficacy as an anticancer agent with potential implications in oncology while its in-vivo validation needs further investigation.

Exploring the Origins of Association of Poly(acrylic acid) Polyelectrolyte with Lysozyme in Aqueous Environment through Molecular Simulations and Experiments.

This study provides a detailed picture of how a protein (lysozyme) complexes with a poly(acrylic acid) polyelectrolyte (PAA) in water at the atomic level using a combination of all-atom molecular dynamics simulations and experiments. The effect of PAA and temperature on the protein's structure is explored. The simulations reveal that a lysozyme's structure is relatively stable except from local conformational changes induced by the presence of PAA and temperature increase. The effect of a specific thermal treatment on the complexation process is investigated, revealing both structural and energetic changes. Certain types of secondary structures (i.e., α-helix) are found to undergo a partially irreversible shift upon thermal treatment, which aligns qualitatively with experimental observations. This uncovers the origins of thermally induced aggregation of lysozyme with PAA and points to new PAA/lysozyme bonds that are formed and potentially enhance the stability in the complexes. As the temperature changes, distinct amino acids are found to exhibit the closest proximity to PAA, resulting into different PAA/lysozyme interactions; consequently, a different complexation pathway is followed. Energy calculations reveal the dominant role of electrostatic interactions. This detailed information can be useful for designing new biopolymer/protein materials and understanding protein function under immobilization of polyelectrolytes and upon mild denaturation processes.

Spectroscopic definition of ferrous active sites in non-heme iron enzymes.

Non-heme iron enzymes play key roles in antibiotic, neurotransmitter, and natural product biosynthesis, DNA repair, hypoxia regulation, and disease states. These enzymes had been refractory to traditional bioinorganic spectroscopic methods. Thus, we developed variable-temperature variable-field magnetic circular dichroism (VTVH MCD) spectroscopy to experimentally define the excited and ground ligand field states of non-heme ferrous enzymes (Solomon et al., 1995). This method provides detailed geometric and electronic structure insight and thus enables a molecular level understanding of catalytic mechanisms. Application of this method across the five classes of non-heme ferrous enzymes has defined that a general mechanistic strategy is utilized where O2 activation is controlled to occur only in the presence of all cosubstrates.

6-Methoxy-2-Naphthoate as a Standard Chromophore for Chiroptical Studies by Fluorescence-Detected Exciton-Coupled Circular Dichroism.

This study investigated the applicability of fluorescent chromophores for exciton-coupled circular dichroism (ECCD) exploiting fluorescence-detected circular dichroism (FDCD). FDCD had been previously reported useful in allowing the sensitive detection of ECCD in favorable conditions. However, fluorescence detection may prevent applications of the combined method especially when solutions are polarized in emission. Even without polarization of emission, FDCD deviates from circular dichroism (CD) in some cases when the fluorophore of interest interacts with nonfluorescent chromophore. Herein, it was confirmed that employing 6-methoxy-2-naphthoate always yielded interpretable exciton-coupled FDCD spectra even when coupling with nonfluorescent p-substituted benzoates. The 6-methoxy-2-naphthoate chromophore (6-MN) is prescribed in special cases when only a small amount of sample is available for determining the absolute stereochemistry by the CD exciton chirality method observed by FDCD.

Exploring the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of a Novel Histidine Ammonia-Lyase from Geobacillus kaustophilus.

Histidine ammonia-lyase (HAL) plays a pivotal role in the non-oxidative deamination of L-histidine to produce trans-urocanic, a crucial process in amino acid metabolism. This study examines the cloning, purification, and biochemical characterization of a novel HAL from Geobacillus kaustophilus (GkHAL) and eight active site mutants to assess their effects on substrate binding, catalysis, thermostability, and secondary structure. The GkHAL enzyme was successfully overexpressed and purified to homogeneity. Its primary sequence displayed 40.7% to 43.7% similarity with other known HALs and shared the same oligomeric structure in solution. Kinetic assays showed that GkHAL has optimal activity at 85 °C and pH 8.5, with high thermal stability even after preincubation at high temperatures. Mutations at Y52, H82, N194, and E411 resulted in a complete loss of catalytic activity, underscoring their essential role in enzyme function, while mutations at residues Q274, R280, and F325 did not abolish activity but did reduce catalytic efficiency. Notably, mutants R280K and F325Y displayed novel activity with L-histidinamide, expanding the substrate specificity of HAL enzymes. Circular dichroism (CD) analysis showed minor secondary structure changes in the mutants but no significant effect on global GkHAL folding. These findings suggest that GkHAL could be a promising candidate for potential biotechnological applications.

Fluorescence and Circular Dichroism Dual-Mode Probe for Chiral Recognition of Tyrosine and Its Applications in Bioimaging.

Chiral amino acids (AAs) are essential in metabolism and understanding physiological processes, and they could be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis of different diseases. In this study, chiral Cdots@Van were prepared by postmodifying an achiral Cdots core with vancomycin for recognizing and determining the enantiomeric excess (ee) of tyrosine (Tyr) enantiomers. The fluorescence response of Cdots@Van is based on an "on-off" strategy, with different quenching percentages for d- and l-tyrosine. Interestingly, the circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of Cdots@Van responded to only one form of Tyr enantiomer, specifically d-Tyr, and remained nearly unchanged upon the addition of l-Tyr. Quantum mechanical (QM) calculations were in excellent agreement with the experimental results, confirming the stronger binding affinity of Cdots@Van for d-Tyr compared to l-Tyr. We further investigated the chiral recognition ability of the interconnected vancomycin particles, which was synthesized using the EDC/NHS coupling reaction between vancomycin molecules without a Cdots core. Surprisingly, unlike free vancomycin molecules, interconnected vancomycin displayed an enantiomeric recognition ability by CD spectroscopy, similar to what was observed for Cdots@Van. Crucially, this chiral probe has been successfully utilized for cell imaging applications.

The effects of Fe2O3 nanoparticles on catalytic function of human acetylcholinesterase: size and concentration role.

Introduction: Fe2O3 NPs can enter cells quickly, pass through the blood-brain barrier and interact with macromolecules. These materials are widely used in different fields, so their risk assessment is among the most critical issues. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a cholinergic enzyme in central and peripheral nervous systems. Methods: In this work, the possible effects of Fe2O3 NPs on the structure and catalytic activity of AChE were investigated using circular dichroism (CD), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and fluorescence spectroscopies. Results: The outcomes demonstrated that 5 nm Fe2O3 NPs inhibit AChE activity through mixed mechanism. While 50 nm Fe2O3 NPs caused an enhancement in the catalytic activity up to 60 nM. However, higher concentrations of Fe2O3 NPs (above 60 nM) hindered the enzyme activity via mixed mechanism. Fluorescence analysis showed that NPs can quench the fluorescence intensity of AChE that refer to conformational changes. Furthermore, CD results showed that Fe2O3 NPs can reduce the α-helix and ß-sheet contents of the enzyme and decrease the stability of AChE. Also, the SPR data analysis showed that the affinity between AChE and Fe2O3 NPs decreased with rising temperature. After treatment with Fe2O3 NPs, the catalytic activity of AChE was assessed in HepG2 cell lines, and the results confirmed the inhibitory effects of Fe2O3 NPs on AChE activity in vivo. Conclusion: These findings provide helpful information about the impact of Fe2O3 NPs on the structure and function of AChE and could offer new insights into the risk assessment of the medical application of nanoparticles.

Strategy for improving circular dichroism spectra deconvolution accuracy for macrocyclic peptides in drug discovery.

Peptide therapeutics have emerged as an appealing modality in the pharmaceutical industry. Understanding peptide conformation in solution remains one of the most critical areas for peptide drug development. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a useful technique to study the secondary structure of proteins and peptides, but the current approaches are limited to protein-focused models to predict high-order structures of peptides, and the models were built based on X-ray crystallography instead of solution-based technique, as a result, such models may have poor predictions for peptides. In this study, we present a novel CD deconvolution model to determine peptide conformation in solution. To quantitatively obtain secondary structure information using CD, a calibration model is needed beforehand to establish the relationship between each secondary structure feature and the corresponding CD response. A reference set containing the majority of cyclic peptides with known structures from solution-state NMR spectroscopy was used to build the calibration model for CD deconvolution. Improved prediction accuracy on the secondary structure determination for cyclic peptides was achieved by this model compared to the commercial standard model using commercially available platforms. This new CD deconvolution method is crucial for peptide conformational analysis in solution, and has the potential to greatly accelerate peptide drug candidate optimization in the pharmaceutical drug discovery field.

Interaction between reacetylated chitosan and albumin in alcalescent media.

Interaction of chitosan and its derivatives with proteins of animal blood at blood pH relevant conditions is of a particular interest for construction of antimicrobial chitosan/protein-based drug delivery systems. In this work, the interaction of a series of N-reacetylated oligochitosans (RA-CHI) having Mw of 10-12 kDa and differing in the degree of acetylation (DA 19, 24, and 40 %) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in alkalescent media is described in first. It is shown that RA-CHI forms soluble complexes with BSA in solutions with pH 7.4 and a low ionic strength. Light scattering study shows that soluble RA-CHI complexes have spherical form with the radius of about 100 nm. Circular dichroism, fluorescent spectroscopy, and micro-IR spectroscopy studies show that the secondary structure of BSA in soluble complexes remain intact. Isothermal titration calorimetry of RA-CHI with DA 24 % and BSA mixing in the buffers with different ionization heats reveals a significant contribution of electrostatic forces to the binding process and an additional ionization of chitosan due to the proton transfer from the buffer substance. An increase of ionic strength to the blood relevant value 0.15 M suppresses the binding. It is shown that application of RA-CHI with higher DA value leads to a decrease in the affinity of RA-CHI to BSA and an alteration of the interaction mechanism. The finding opens an opportunity to the application of N-reacetylated chitosan derivatives in the complex systems compatible with blood plasma proteins.

Control of Dynamic Chirality in Donor-Acceptor Fluorophores.

Very recently, the control of dynamic chirality has emerged as a powerful strategy to design chiral functional materials. In this context, we describe herein a molecular design in which a tethered configurationally stable binaphthyl chiral unit efficiently controls the dynamic chirality of donor-acceptor fluorophores, involving diverse indolocarbazoles as electron donors and terephthalonitrile as an electron acceptor. The high conformational discrimination in such a molecular system suggested by density functional theory calculations is experimentally probed using electronic and vibrational circular dichroism and confirmed by the crystallization of these chiral molecules in gel and their single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In addition to extending the scope of dynamic chirality control to donor-acceptor fluorophores, this work also highlights the positive effect of the configurationally stable chiral inductor on the magnitude of the dissymmetry factors of the active dynamically chiral fluorophores, both in ground and excited states, through chiral perturbation.
