Design strategies for ratiometric chemosensors: modulation of excitation energy transfer at the energy donor site

Guliyev, R.; Coskun, A.; Akkaya, E. U. (2009)

Excitation energy transfer, when coupled to an ion-modulated ICT chromophore, creates novel opportunities in sensing. The direction of energy transfer and the point of ICT modulation can be varied as desired. In our previous ...

Encapsulation of two different TLR ligands into liposomes confer protective immunity and prevent tumor development

Bayyurt, B.; Tincer, G.; Almacioglu, K.; Alpdundar, E.; Gursel, M.; Gursel, I. (Elsevier B.V., 2017)

Nucleic acid-based Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands are promising adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents. Combination of TLR ligands potentiates immune response by providing synergistic immune activity via triggering ...

Impaired toll like receptor-7 and 9 induced immune activation in chronic spinal cord injured patients contributes to immune dysfunction

Gucluler, G.; Adiguzel, E.; Gungor, B.; Kahraman, T.; Gursel, M.; Yilmaz, B.; Gursel, I. (Public Library of Science, 2017)

Reduced immune activation or immunosuppression is seen in patients withneurological diseases. Urinary and respiratory infections mainly manifested as septicemia and pneumonia are the most frequent complications following ...

Near-IR-triggered, remote-controlled release of metal ions: A novel strategy for caged ions

Atilgan, A.; Eçik, E. T.; Guliyev, R.; Uyar, T. B.; Erbas-Cakmak, S.; Akkaya, E. U. (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2014)

A ligand incorporating a dithioethenyl moiety is cleaved into fragments which have a lower metal-ion affinity upon irradiation with low-energy red/near-IR light. The cleavage is a result of singlet oxygen generation ...

Novel molecular building blocks based on the boradiazaindacene chromophore: applications in fluorescent metallosupramolecular coordination polymers

Bozdemir, Ö. A.; Büyükcakir, O.; Akkaya, E. U. (2009)

We designed and synthesized novel boradiazaindacene (Bodipy) derivatives that are appropriately functionalized for metal-ion-mediated supramolecular polymerization. Thus, ligands for 2-terpyridyl-, 2,6-terpyridyl-, and ...

Selective manipulation of ICT and PET processes in styryl-bodipy derivatives: Applications in molecular logic and fluorescence sensing of metal ions

Bozdemir, O. A.; Guliyev, R.; Buyukcakir, O.; Selcuk, S.; Kolemen, S.; Gulseren, G.; Nalbantoglu, T.; Boyaci, H.; Akkaya, E. U. (2010)

Remarkably versatile chemistry of Bodipy dyes allows the design and straightforward synthesis of multivalent-multitopic derivatives, which, with judicious selection of metal ion-ligand pairs based on known affinities, ...
