Protein affinity is of importance for porphyrins in their application in photodynamic therapy (PDT). A new Phenol Red-modified porphyrin (R-TPP) was designed and synthesized to fully take advantage of the binding character of Phenol Red towards protein. Detailed comparisons of absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, n-octanol/water partition coefficients, 1O2 quantum yields, as well as protein photocleaving abilities between R-TPP and its parent porphyrin Br-TPP clearly demonstrate the benefits stemming from the modification of Phenol Red. On one hand, the presence of Phenol Red moiety greatly enhances the binding affinity of R-TPP towards model proteins (bovine serum albumin and hen egg lysozyme), and therefore improves the availability of 1O2. On the other hand, the presence of Phenol Red moiety provides R-TPP with amphiphilic character, and therefore restricts aggregation and favors the generation of 1O2. As a result, R-TPP photocleaves proteins efficiently, showing promising application potential in PDT.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
