Quantitative UV

• Quantitative UV/vis is used to determine the concentration of an analyte usually in an aqueous solution.

Page 9: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• In order to be able to do this, the analyte must absorb in the UV/vis region.

Page 10: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• Beer's Law is a linear relationship between absorbance and concentration.

• A = a * b * c, where c is concentration, A is absorbance, b is path length (usually 1 cm) and a is the molar absorbtivity.

• Beer's law is linear.

UV Analysis - General Theory• UV ANALYZERS

• The UV region consists of wavelengths from 200 to 400 nanometers (nm).

• The visible region extends from 400 to 800 nm, and the near IR (NIR) region covers 0.8 to 2.50 micrometers (j~m).

Page 13: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• The UVVIS-NIR is a relatively small part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, and the shorter the wavelength the more penetrating the radiation.

• The region where a compound absorbs radiation depends on the energy of the molecular transitions.

Page 14: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• High-energy electronic transitions are observed in the low-wavelength UV/VIS regions.

• Moderate-energy vibrational and rotational transitions are observed in the high-wavelength IR region.

Page 15: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• The Main Components of UV Analyzers

• 1. Source-provides radiation for the spectral region being measured

• 2. Mono chromator-a device used to select narrow bands of wavelengths

Page 16: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• 3. Sample cell-contains the sample at an appropriate path length

• 4. Detector-a device which measures transmitted energy and converts it into electrical energy

• 5. Readout device-provides a means of recording the measurement results

Page 17: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• The function of the source is to provide radiation of sufficient energy to makemeasurements in the region of spectral interest.

Page 18: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• The cadmium, mercury, and zinc vapor sources that are used in the UV region are emission line sources.

• The output of these sources provides radiation as narrow discrete emission lines at a high-energy level

Page 19: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• Mercury vapor lamps are often used because of their long service life.

• Deuterium arc sources provide a broad band of UV radiation at all of the wavelengths in the UV region.

Page 20: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

•The energy of the deuterium source is relatively lower than the energy of the mercury source.

•The two sources used in the visible and NIR regions are tungsten filaments and quartz-halide lamps.

Page 22: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• Two types of UV energy sources are used:

•broad and discrete line emission sources.

• The broad emission source provides energy in a broad wavelength band, and narrow-band filters are used to isolate the wavelengths of interest.

Page 23: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• These sources provide all wavelengths in the region but usually have a low-emission, or low-energy level, at any given wavelength.

• Sources of this type include hydrogen, or deuterium, discharge lamps; tungsten lamps; and tungsten-iodine lamps.

Page 24: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

•Discrete line sources use gas discharge lamps with narrow lines of emission.

•These sources emit radiation energy at various discrete wavelengths at a high-energy level

•The wavelengths that are not desired are filtered, leaving only the wavelength of interest

Page 25: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• Tungsten-iodine cycle lamps can be used down to 300 nm

• Mercury vapor lamps are the most useful UV sources due to their high intensity and long life

• Medium-pressure mercury lamps can operate down to 300 nm

• Zinc discharge lamps are useful due to their 214 nm emission line

The Mono chromator

•Dispersive and nondispersive mono chromator are used in photometric analysis

Page 27: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• A monochromator is an optical device that transmits a mechanically selectable narrow band of wavelengths of light or other radiation chosen from a wider range of wavelengths available at the input. The name is from the Greek roots mono-, single, and chroma, colour, and the Latin suffix -ator, denoting an agent.

• Photometers are used to make measurements at selected discrete wavelengths.

Page 34: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• The measurement wavelength filter is selected to match the absorption band of the component being analyzed.

Page 35: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• The ratio of the transmitted light at the reference and measured wavelengths is measured by the photometer.

• Normally, photometers are used to measure a single component in a process stream.

• CD was discovered by the French physicist Aimé Cotton in 1896.

Page 62: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

Interaction of circularly polarized light with matter

• The electric field of a light beam causes a linear displacement of charge when interacting with a molecule, whereas the magnetic field of it causes a circulation of charge

• These two motions combined result in a helical displacement when light impinges on a molecule

Page 63: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• The two types of circularly polarized light are absorbed to different extents

• In a CD experiment, equal amounts of left and right circularly polarized light of a selected wavelength are alternately radiated into a (chiral) sample

• One of the two polarizations is absorbed more than the other one, and this wavelength-dependent difference of absorption is measured, yielding the CD spectrum of the sample.

Page 64: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

Application to biological molecules

• In general, this phenomenon will be exhibited in absorption bands of any optically active molecule.

• As a consequence, circular dichroism is exhibited by biological molecules, because of their dextrorotary and levorotary components

Page 65: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• Even more important is that a secondary structure will also impart a distinct CD to its respective molecules.

• Therefore, the alpha helix of proteins and the double helix of nucleic acids have CD spectral signatures representative of their structures

• The far-UV (ultraviolet) CD spectrum of proteins can reveal important characteristics of their secondary structure

Page 66: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• CD spectra can be readily used to estimate the fraction of a molecule that is in the alpha-helix conformation, the beta-sheet conformation, the beta-turn conformation, or some other (e.g. random coil) conformation

• NMR is also routinely used in advanced medical imaging techniques, such as in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Page 74: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• All nuclei that contain odd numbers of nucleons have an intrinsic magnetic moment and angular momentum, in other words a spin > 0.

• The most commonly studied nuclei are 1H

• A key feature of NMR is that the resonance frequency of a particular substance is directly proportional to the strength of the applied magnetic field

Page 75: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• If a sample is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field then the resonance frequencies of the sample's nuclei depend on where in the field they are located

• The principle of NMR usually involves two sequential steps:

Page 76: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• The alignment (polarization) of the magnetic nuclear spins in an applied, constant magnetic field H0.

• The perturbation of this alignment of the nuclear spins by employing an electro-magnetic, usually radio frequency (RF) pulse

Page 77: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• The required perturbing frequency is dependent upon the static magnetic field (H0) and the nuclei of observation.

Page 78: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• The two fields are usually chosen to be perpendicular to each other as this maximises the NMR signal strength

• The resulting response by the total magnetization (M) of the nuclear spins is the phenomenon that is exploited in NMR spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging

Page 79: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• NMR phenomena are also utilized in low-field NMR, NMR spectroscopy and MRI in the Earth's magnetic field (referred to as Earth's field NMR), and in several types of magnetometers.

Page 80: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

NMR spectroscopy

• NMR spectroscopy is one of the principal techniques used to obtain physical, chemical, electronic and structural information about molecules due to either the chemical shift Zeeman effect, or the Knight shift effect, or a combination of both, on the resonant frequencies of the nuclei present in the sample

Page 81: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• When placed in a magnetic field, NMR active nuclei (such as 1H or 13C) absorb at a frequency characteristic of the isotope.

• The resonant frequency, energy of the absorption and the intensity of the signal are proportional to the strength of the magnetic field

Page 88: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• For example, in a 21 tesla magnetic field, protons resonate at 900 MHz. It is common to refer to a 21 T magnet as a 900 MHz magnet, although different nuclei resonate at a different frequency at this field strength.

Chemical shift

• Depending on the local chemical environment, different protons in a molecule resonate at slightly different frequencies

Page 91: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• Since both this frequency shift and the fundamental resonant frequency are directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, the shift is converted into a field-independent dimensionless value known as the chemical shift

Page 92: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.

• EPR is a sensitive, specific method for studying both radicals formed in chemical reactions and the reactions themselves

• For example, when frozen water (solid H2O) is decomposed by exposure to high-energy radiation, radicals such as H, OH, and HO2 are produced. Such radicals can be identified and studied by EPR

Page 106: BIOPHYSICAL METHODS. Analysis of Bio molecules UV and Visible Light Spectroscopy NMR and ESR Circular dichorism X ray diffraction Mass Spectroscopy Surface.
