TY - JOUR A1 - Wessig, Pablo A1 - Behrends, Nicole A1 - Kumke, Michael Uwe A1 - Eisold, Ursula T1 - FRET Pairs with Fixed Relative Orientation of Chromophores JF - European journal of organic chemistry N2 - Synthetic routes to different oligospirothioketal (OSTK) Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) constructs are described and the photophysics of these constructs were explored in different solvents. The FRET efficiencies were determined from the experimental data and compared with theoretical values. The influence of the outstanding rigidity of the novel OSTK compounds on the FRET is discussed.

The OSTK rods are readily incorporated into lipid bilayers due to their hydrophobic backbones. Because of their high length-over-diameter aspect ratio, only a minimal disturbance of the lipid bilayer is caused. OSTK rods show outstanding rigidity and allow defined labeling with fluorescent dyes, yielding full control of the orientation between the dye and OSTK skeleton. This. allows the construction of novel Forster resonance energy transfer probes with highly defined relative orientations of the transition dipole moments of the donor and acceptor dyes and makes the class of OSTK probes a power-fill, flexible toolbox for optical biosensing applications. Data on steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence experiments investigating the incorporation of coumarin- and [1,3]-dioxolo[4,5-f][1,3]benzo-dioxole-labeled OSTKs in large unilamellar vesicles are presented as a show case.
