Deactivation of singlet molecular oxygen by organo-selenium compounds exhibiting glutathione peroxidase activity and by sulfur-containing homologs.

abstract：:We study the fluorescence lifetime of the well-known 1-pyrene butyric acid (PBA) to assess oxygen concentrations in living cells. The behavior of the probe is first studied in water, ethanol, protein solution and liposome suspension. The Stern-Volmer plot of these solutions is linear, and the bimolecular reaction rate...
