  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy
  • 2012

    • In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Accordingly, it is important to update these guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Various reviews have described the range of assays that have been used for this purpose. Nevertheless, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to measure autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. A key point that needs to be emphasized is that there is a difference between measurements that monitor the numbers or volume of autophagic elements (e.g., autophagosomes or autolysosomes) at any stage of the autophagic process vs. those that measure flux through the autophagy pathway (i.e., the complete process); thus, a block in macroautophagy that results in autophagosome accumulation needs to be differentiated from stimuli that result in increased autophagic activity, defined as increased autophagy induction coupled with increased delivery to, and degradation within, lysosomes (in most higher eukaryotes and some protists such as Dictyostelium) or the vacuole (in plants and fungi). In other words, it is especially important that investigators new to the field understand that the appearance of more autophagosomes does not necessarily equate with more autophagy. In fact, in many cases, autophagosomes accumulate because of a block in trafficking to lysosomes without a concomitant change in autophagosome biogenesis, whereas an increase in autolysosomes may reflect a reduction in degradative activity. Here, we present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a formulaic set of rules, because the appropriate assays depend in part on the question being asked and the system being used. In addition, we emphasize that no individual assay is guaranteed to be the most appropriate one in every situation, and we strongly recommend the use of multiple assays to monitor autophagy. In these guidelines, we consider these various methods of assessing autophagy and what information can, or cannot, be obtained from them. Finally, by discussing the merits and limits of particular autophagy assays, we hope to encourage technical innovation in the field.

  • Dissociative X-ray Lasing
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 109:23, s. 233905-

    • X-ray lasing is predicted to ensue when molecules are pumped into dissociative core-excited states by a free-electron-laser pulse. The lasing is due to the population inversion created in the neutral dissociation product, and the process features self-trapping of the x-ray pulse at the gain ridge. Simulations performed for the HCl molecule pumped at the 2p(1/2) -> 6 sigma resonance demonstrate that the scheme can be used to create ultrashort coherent x-ray pulses.

  • Nuclear Dynamics in Linear and Non-linear X-ray Processes
  • 2013
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • New generations of brilliant synchrotron radiation sources and intense X-ray and optical lasers have opened unprecedent opportunities in linear and non-linear spectroscopies of molecules. This together with new instrumentation calls for further development of theory to explain observations and suggest new experiments. These two goals are the main objectives of the present thesis.In the first part of the thesis we study resonant inelastic X-ray scattering of the oxygen molecule. Recent experimental data of O2 show the dependence of the vibrational profile on the polarization of the X-rays. This vibrational scattering anisotropy is explained by the interference of the resonant and nonresonant inelastic scattering channels in O2.The second part of the thesis explores X-ray lasing caused by ultrafast dissociation of the HCl molecule in a repulsive core-excited state pumped by an X-ray free-electron laser. We show that the lasing efficiency is drastically enhanced due to the self-trapping of the amplified pulse into the ridge of the gain.The third part of the thesis is devoted to another non-linear phenomenon - optical limiting. Our time-dependent simulations are in agreement with the experimental data and show that phthalocyanines with heavy central metals exhibit good optical limiting properties for nanosecond pulses.Symmetry and the symmetry breaking are important fundamental concepts in physics, chemistry and biology. In the next part of the thesis we study theoretically the novel symmetry breaking mechanism in resonant Auger scattering. Both theory and electron-ion coincidence measurements for the oxygen molecule evidence the symmetry breaking of the oxygen cation caused by momentum exchange between the fast Auger electron and counter propagating dissociating oxygen atoms.The last part of the thesis is devoted to the role of the rotational degrees of freedom in X- ray ionization of molecules. We present here new results related to the rotational Doppler and angular recoil effects in X-ray ionization using the N2 and HCl molecules as illustrating examples. The dependence of the ionization cross section on the direction of ejection of fast electrons explains the sensitivity of the rotational broadening to the final state and to the polarization of X-rays observed recently for the N2 molecule. The theory reveals the novel effect of site-selectivity of X-ray valence ionization caused by the excitation of the rotational degrees of freedom which is different for different ionization sites. Large recoil angular momentum related to the ejection of an electron from the light hydrogen atom results in a red shifted broad pedestal in the X-ray photoelectron spectrum of HCl.

  • Numerical analysis on optical limiting performance of a series of phthalocyanines for nanosecond pulses
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Journal of Physics B. - : IOP Publishing. - 0953-4075 .- 1361-6455. ; 45:8, s. 085402-

    • The optical limiting properties of a series of peripherally substituted phthalocyanines with different central metals and axial chloride ligand for nanosecond pulses have been studied by solving numerically the two-dimensional paraxial field equation together with the rate equations using the Crank-Nicholson method. It is shown that all of these compounds exhibit good optical limiting behaviour, and phthalocyanines with heavier central metals have better optical limiting performance due to the faster intersystem crossing caused by the enhanced spin-orbit coupling. The major mechanism of optical limiting for long pulses is the sequential (singlet-singlet)x( triplet-triplet) nonlinear absorption. Dynamics of populations is characterized mainly by the effective transfer time of the population from the ground state to the lowest triplet state. The long lifetime of the triplet state is important but not determinant. In addition, the performance of optical limiting strongly depends on the thickness and concentration of the absorber.

  • Site-selective photoemission from delocalized valence shells induced by molecular rotation
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Nature Communications. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2041-1723. ; 5, s. 3816-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Due to the generally delocalized nature of molecular valence orbitals, valence-shell spectroscopies do not usually allow to specifically target a selected atom in a molecule. However, in X-ray electron spectroscopy, the photoelectron momentum is large and the recoil angular momentum transferred to the molecule is larger when the photoelectron is ejected from a light atom compared with a heavy one. This confers an extreme sensitivity of the rotational excitation to the ionization site. Here we show that, indeed, the use of high-energy photons to photoionize valence-shell electrons of hydrogen chloride offers an unexpected way to decrypt the atomic composition of the molecular orbitals due to the rotational dependence of the photoionization profiles. The analysis of the site-specific rotational envelopes allows us to disentangle the effects of the two main mechanisms of rotational excitation, based on angular momentum exchange between the molecule and either the incoming photon or the emitted electron.

  • Raman Scattering at Resonant or Near-Resonant Conditions : A Generalized Short-Time Approximation
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics. - : AIP Publishing. - 1674-0068 .- 2327-2244. ; 25:1, s. 31-47

    • We investigate the dynamics of resonant Raman scattering in the course of the frequency detuning. The dephasing in the time domain makes the scattering fast when the photon energy is tuned from the absorption resonance. This makes frequency detuning to act as a camera shutter with a regulated scattering duration and provides a practical tool of controlling the scattering time in ordinary stationary measurements. The theory is applied to resonant Raman spectra of a couple of few-mode model systems and to trams-1,3,5-hexatriene and guanine-cytosine (G-C) Watson-Crick base pairs (DNA) molecules. Besides some particular physical effects, the regime of fast scattering leads to a simplification of the spectrum as well as to the scattering theory itself. Strong overtones appear in the Raman spectra when the photon frequency is tuned in the resonant region, while in the mode of fast scattering, the overtones are gradually quenched when the photon frequency is tuned more than one vibrational quantum below the first a,absorption resonance. The detuning front the resonant region thus leads to a strong purification of the Raman spectrum from the contamination by higher overtones and soft modes and purifies the spectrum also in terms of avoidance of dissociation and interfering fluorescence decay of the resonant state. This makes frequency detuning a very useful practical tool in the analysis of the resonant Raman spectra of complex systems and considerably improves the prospects for using the Raman effect for detection of foreign substances at ultra-low concentrations.

  • Interference between Resonant and Nonresonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 110:22, s. 223001-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A detailed study of inelastic x-ray scattering from the ground state to the Σg3(3σg-13sg1) state of the O2 molecule is presented. The observed angular anisotropy shows that the vibrational excitations within this final state are strongly dependent on the polarization of the incident radiation. The analysis demonstrates that this is a manifestation of interference between resonant and direct nonresonant inelastic x-ray scattering. This interference provides a new tool to monitor nuclear dynamics by relative rotation of the polarization vectors of the incident and scattered photons.

  • Shortening scattering duration by detuning purifies Raman spectra of complex systems
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Chemical Physics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0009-2614 .- 1873-4448. ; 511:1-3, s. 16-21
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We highlight Resonant Raman scattering as a dynamical process with a finite duration time that results from not only the irreversible homogeneous broadening but also the reversible dephasing caused by the detuning from the resonance, which acts as a camera shutter with a regulated scattering duration. This provides a practical tool of controlling the scattering time. We show that the typical dephasing rates in gas and condensed matter phases are not sufficiently high to make the scattering fast. The detuning from the resonance leads to a strong purification of Raman spectrum from the contamination by higher overtones and soft modes.

  • Solvent effect on dynamical TPA and optical limiting of BDMAS molecular media for nanosecond and femtosecond laser pulses
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Journal of Physics B. - : IOP Publishing. - 0953-4075 .- 1361-6455. ; 44:3, s. 035103-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The dynamical two-photon absorption (TPA) cross section as well as optical limiting of a 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino) stilbene (BDMAS) molecular medium for the nanosecond and femtosecond laser pulses is studied. This molecular medium can be described by a cascade three-level model in the visible light regime. Our numerical results show that the BDMAS molecular medium exhibits a strong optical limiting behaviour. The saturation TPA in the femtosecond time domain can be observed, and materials with larger nonlinear absorption cross sections would be much easier to saturate. Due to the contribution of the two-step TPA, the dynamical TPA cross section of BDMAS for nanosecond pulses is about three orders of magnitude larger than that for ultrashort femtosecond pulses. Special attention has been paid to the solvent effects on the optimal limiting performance. With an enhancement of the polarity of solvents, the dynamical optical limiting window becomes broader. In the origin of optical limiting, the dynamical TPA cross section of BDMAS decreases when the polarity of solvents increases, which is in good agreement with the experiment.
