Fluorescence spectroscopy has been a vital technique in biophysics due to its high sensitivity and specificity. While the recent development of single-molecule (SM) techniques has furthered the molecular-level understanding of complicated biological systems, the full potential of these techniques hinges on the development and selection of fluorescent probes with customized photophysical properties. Red region probes are inherently desirable as background noise from typical biological systems tends to be at its minimum in this spectral region. The first part of this work studies the photophysical properties of red cyanine dyes to access their usefulness for particular SM applications.Protein-induced fluorescence enhancement (PIFE) based approaches are increasingly being used to investigate DNA-protein interactions at the SM level. However, a key limitation remains the absence of good red PIFE probes. This work investigates the photophysical properties of a red hemicyanine dye (Dy-630) as a potential PIFE probe. Results shed light on optimal design principles for ideal probes for PIFE applications, opening new avenues for the technique's broad applicability in biophysical studies.Further, the photophysical behavior of two novel cyanine fluorophores in the far-red (rigidized pentacyanine) and near-Infrared (IR) (rigidized heptacyanine) region are studied. Both probes are designed to eliminate a photoisomerization caused non-radiative pathway by rigidization of the cyanine backbone. The rigidized pentacyanine was found to have desired photophysical properties and improved quantum yield, vital for application in super-resolution imaging. For rigidized heptacyanine, in contrast to the prior project, it was found that photoisomerization does not contribute significantly to the deactivation pathway. Thus, this work clarifies the role of photoisomerization on heptamethine cyanine scaffold and will enable future efforts to optimize NIR dyes for diverse applications. The second part of this work aims to answer the fundamental question of how the physics of DNA can impact its biology. To this end, interlinkage between the flexibility of local sequence context and the efficiency of uracil removal by Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) protein is investigated using fluorescent base analogue, 2-Aminopurine (2-AP). In summary, this work focuses on photophysical investigations, the understanding of which is vital for the selection and development of fluorescent probes for biophysical studies.
