However, up to now, all the reported water-soluble pillar[5]arenes acted as the host molecules, whereas they failed to be postsynthetically modified, which seriously impeded the development of the pillar[5]arene-based supramolecular chemistry. In this work, a new water-soluble pillar[5]arene, pillar[4]arene[1]quinone, was designed and synthsized with eight quaternary ammonium groups as well as a quinone units. Such a new water-soluble pillar[4]arene[1]quinone was capable of forming 1:1 stable complex with sodium 1-octanesulfonate in aqueous solution. Since the 1,4-quinone unit of WP[4]Q[1] could react with ethylenediamine (EDA) to form a conjugated quinoxaline structure, so pillar[4]arene[1]quinone could apply to the facile fluorescence turn-on sensing of EDA in aqueous solution, organic solvent and air.展开更多

In recent years, a series of fluorescence sensors constructed on the basis of MoS<sub>2</sub>NS fluorescence quenching property have become a research hotspot. Therefore, we can construct a fast and simple analysis method with high specificity to detect AFB<sub>1</sub> by utilizing MoS<sub>2</sub>NS, which can be effectively applied to food safety monitoring and clinical diagnosis. Method: In the current research, a fluorescence biosensor is developed on the basis of a new type of two-dimensional nano-material namely MoS<sub>2</sub>NS applied for the detection of AFB<sub>1</sub>. The fluorescence of Apt@AFB<sub>1</sub> can be quickly quenched by MoS<sub>2</sub>NS through the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). When the target molecule AFB<sub>1</sub> exists, after the specificity binding between AFB<sub>1</sub> and aptamer, the Apt@AFB<sub>1</sub> loses its single stranded structure and is away from MoS<sub>2</sub>NS, and the fluorescence of Apt®AFB<sub>1</sub> cannot be quenched effectively. Such sensing signals can be used to achieve the sensitive detection of AFB<sub>1</sub>. Result: With this new method, under the optimized conditions, the AFB<sub>1</sub> is analyzed in the MoS<sub>2</sub>NS/Apt®AFB<sub>1</sub> sensing platform. Within the dynamic range of 0.2 - 25 ng/mL, the sensing platform expresses a good linear response to the level of AFB<sub>1</sub> with the R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9964 and LOD as 90 pg/mL. This method is applied to detect the actual serum samples and soybean milk with the recovery rate of 93.10% - 107.23% and 95.15% - 102.60% separately, and it can be used in the quantitative detection under the interference of other mycotoxins in a relatively accurate way. Conclusion: It is proved that this new detection method can be used as a potential biosensor platform for the detection of AFB<sub>1</sub>. This detection method features several advantages such as specificity, rapidness and low costs, which can meet the requirement of trace detection in clinical detection and food safety.展开更多

Its level of secretion can reflect the immune response condition after the body is infected by pathogens, which is a significant indication of clinically-related diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance in application to develop a fluorescence biosensor to inspect INF-γ with rapidness, high sensitivity and high practicability. Method: The fluorescence sensor is made on the basis of the two-dimensional nano-material namely Carbon Nitride Nanosheet (CNNS) and the Aptamer probe to identify INF-γ (Apt®INF-γ). CNNS can quickly quench the Cy5 fluorescent dye modified on the Apt®INF-γ probe due to the Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET), but when the INF-γ exists, Apt®INF-γ specifically identifies and combines it. The complex of Apt®INF-γ and INF-γ is away from CNNS, which can effectively block the fluorescent signal of Apt?INF-γ being quenched by CNNS. Result: The sensitive detection of IFN-γ protein can be achieved through the application of CNNS/Apt®INF-γ fluorescence sensing platform. In this method, the intensity of the fluorescent signal is positively correlated with the concentration of IFN-γ, of which the liner response range is 0.5 - 100 ng/mL and the limit of detection is 0.303 ng/mL. In addition, this fluorescence sensing platform has the advantages of high specificity, simple operation and low costs. It can inspect the content of IFN-γ in clinical serum samples without interference. The actual recovery rate of serum samples is 97.11% - 106.96%. Conclusion: Therefore, the CNNS/Apt®INF-γ sensing platform is expected to be implemented in the actual clinical detection, also conducive to developing a universal fluorescence biosensor to inspect other target materials.展开更多

文摘It is a great challenge to discover novel chemical reactions suitable for biological analysis in a living system.The development of novel protein thiol blocking agents is a crucial need for exploring protein thiol functions in protein refolding,signal transduction,and redox regulation.We are always keen on seeking novel chemical reactions applied to endogenous biological macromolecules or protein thiol sensing,blocking,and labeling.In the present work,we have successfully developed a novel agent to block protein thiol by enhanced electron-withdrawing inductive effects.This sensing and blocking process was detailedly monitored by UV-vis,fluorescent spectra,and SDS-Page gel separation.The spectral studies demonstrated that the agent could react ultrafastly with thiol within seconds atμM level.Furthermore,fluorescent imaging in cells and in vivo was further used for the validation of its ability to sensing and blocking thiol,providing evidence of downregulated protein thiols in Parkinson's disease.The enhanced electronwithdrawing inductive effect strategy in this work may provide a general guideline for designing protein thiol agent.
文摘In this study,the interaction between TPE-Ph COF and ammonia molecules,as well as the mechanism of fluorescence detection of ammonia,were comprehensively investigated using density functional theory(DFT)and time-dependent density functional theory(TD-DFT).It was found that the binding between TPE-Ph COF and ammonia molecules occurs primarily through coordination bonds or hydrogen bonds.Specifically,the formation of coordination bonds significantly changes the intramolecular charge transfer of TPE-Ph COF,leading to fluorescence quenching.Computational analysis revealed the changes in electron and hole distributions upon the binding of ammonia to TPE-Ph COF,as well as the competition between nonradiative and radiative transitions during the photophysical processes,thereby elucidating the intrinsic mechanism of fluorescence response.

文摘Rapid and eff ective diff erentiation of cancerous cells is essential for early diagnosis and treatment of tumors.Here,a multichannel sensor array is developed based on four surface-engineered gold-silver nanoclusters(AuAgNCs)to discriminate multiple cancerous and normal cells.Diff erent binding a ffinities between various cells and AuAgNCs lead to changes in the intrinsic fluorescence of AuAgNCs as well as their peroxide-like activity.Based on the distinct response of dual fluorescence signals of four AuAgNCs,a multichannel sensor array is established,which is capable of accurately identifying both normal and cancerous cells,even cells of diff erent subtypes and homologous cells from various individuals with high sensitivity.Moreover,this fluorescent clusterzyme-based sensor array enables quantitative detection of cancerous cells(e.g.,HeLa cells)with good performance,which holds great potential as a promising platform for further cancer diagnosis.

文摘Two amphiphilic TPE E/Z isomers with aggregation induced emission(AIE)property have been synthesized and characterized.The logarithmic fluorescent intensity of the two molecules was in positive relationship with logarithmic viscosity of liquid.To note,the Z-TPE isomer exhibited more sensitivity in the viscosity of liquid sensing in comparison with the corresponding E-TPE counterpart(around 1.80 folds).Furthermore,two molecules could be used as fluorescent sensors for mechanical properties(viscosity and storage modulus)of hydrogel as well.In addition,two sensors displayed low cytotoxicity in normal tissue cell line(L929)within the concentration range of 2–10μmol/L.These results potentially promised their applications as fluorescent sensors for mechanical properties in the fields of biological and biomedical.

文摘The presence of toxic mercury (Ⅱ) in water is an ever-growing problem on earth that has various harmful effect on human health and aquatic living organisms.Therefore,detection of mercury (Ⅱ) in water is very much crucial and several researches are going on in this topic.Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered as an effective device for sensing of toxic heavy metal ions in water.The tunable functionalities with large surface area of highly semiconducting MOFs enhance its activity towards fluorescence sensing.In this study,we are reporting one highly selective and sensitive luminescent sensor for the detection of mercury (Ⅱ) in water.A series of binary MOF composites were synthesized using in-situ solvothermal synthetic technique for fluorescence sensing of Hg^(2+)in water.The welldistributed graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots on porous zirconium-based MOF improve Hg^(2+)sensing activity in water owing to their great electronic and optical properties.The binary MOF composite (2) i.e.,the sensor exhibited excellent limit of detection (LOD) value of 2.4 nmol/L for Hg^(2+).The sensor also exhibited excellent performance for mercury (Ⅱ)detection in real water samples.The characterizations of the synthesized materials were done using various spectroscopic techniques and the fluorescence sensing mechanism was studied.

文摘By employing a rational approach,we prepared a novel kind of luminescent europium-centered hybrid material named Eu(tta)_(3)NCP-TiO_(2).The resulting material was characterized by FT-IR spectra,SEM,X-ray diffraction,thermogravimetric analysis,and photoluminescence spectra.The hybrid material features the combined advantages of the europium complex and the titania host,exhibiting not only good thermostability,but also long luminescence lifetime.Owing to the excellent luminescence of this material,the application in detecting organic small molecule solvents and metal ions was explored systematically.Significantly,Eu(tta)_(3)NCP-TiO_(2) exhibits superior detection for nitrobenzene molecule and Cu^(2+) ion in DMF(N,N-dimethylformamide) medium.Furthermore,the limit of detection(LOD) of Eu(tta)_(3)NCP-TiO_(2) for nitrobenzene and Cu^(2+) ion can be counted as 5.593× 10^(-5) and 9.566 ×10^(-5) mol/L,respectively.The results demonstrate that Eu(tta)_(3)NCP-TiO_(2) can serve as an efficient fluorescence probe for the detection of sensing of nitrobenzene and Cu^(2+) ion.

文摘A dual emission sensing film has been prepared for colorimetric temperature sensing using CsPbBr_(3)perovskite nanocrystals(CsPbBr_(3)NCs)and manganese doped potassium fluorosilicate(K_(2)SiF_(6):Mn^(4+),KSF)encapsulated in polystyrene by a microencapsulation strategy.The CsPbBr_(3)-KSF-PS film shows good temperature sensing response from 30℃to 70℃,with a relative temperature sensitivity(Sr)up to 10.31%℃^(−1) at 45℃.Meanwhile,the film maintains more than 95%intensity after 6 heating-cooling cycles and keeps its fluorescence characteristics after 3 months.The film can be used to monitor temperature change by naked eye under a UV lamp.In particular,the temperature discoloration point of the sensing film can be controlled by the ratio change of CsPbBr_(3):KSF to expand its applications.The study of the CsPbBr_(3)-KSF-PS sensing mechanism in this work is helpful to provide effective strategies for the design of reliable,high sensitivity and stable temperature sensing system using CsPbBr_(3)NCs.

文摘Water-soluble pillar[5]arenes are a class of typical macrocycles and have aroused tremendous attention for its easy to modify, abundant host-vip properties and extensive applications. However, up to now, all the reported water-soluble pillar[5]arenes acted as the host molecules, whereas they failed to be postsynthetically modified, which seriously impeded the development of the pillar[5]arene-based supramolecular chemistry. In this work, a new water-soluble pillar[5]arene, pillar[4]arene[1]quinone, was designed and synthsized with eight quaternary ammonium groups as well as a quinone units. Such a new water-soluble pillar[4]arene[1]quinone was capable of forming 1:1 stable complex with sodium 1-octanesulfonate in aqueous solution. Since the 1,4-quinone unit of WP[4]Q[1] could react with ethylenediamine (EDA) to form a conjugated quinoxaline structure, so pillar[4]arene[1]quinone could apply to the facile fluorescence turn-on sensing of EDA in aqueous solution, organic solvent and air.

文摘Purpose: Aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> is the most common mycotoxin in cereal crops;it is of stronger toxicity and has a carcinogenic effect. In recent years, a series of fluorescence sensors constructed on the basis of MoS<sub>2</sub>NS fluorescence quenching property have become a research hotspot. Therefore, we can construct a fast and simple analysis method with high specificity to detect AFB<sub>1</sub> by utilizing MoS<sub>2</sub>NS, which can be effectively applied to food safety monitoring and clinical diagnosis. Method: In the current research, a fluorescence biosensor is developed on the basis of a new type of two-dimensional nano-material namely MoS<sub>2</sub>NS applied for the detection of AFB<sub>1</sub>. The fluorescence of Apt@AFB<sub>1</sub> can be quickly quenched by MoS<sub>2</sub>NS through the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). When the target molecule AFB<sub>1</sub> exists, after the specificity binding between AFB<sub>1</sub> and aptamer, the Apt@AFB<sub>1</sub> loses its single stranded structure and is away from MoS<sub>2</sub>NS, and the fluorescence of Apt®AFB<sub>1</sub> cannot be quenched effectively. Such sensing signals can be used to achieve the sensitive detection of AFB<sub>1</sub>. Result: With this new method, under the optimized conditions, the AFB<sub>1</sub> is analyzed in the MoS<sub>2</sub>NS/Apt®AFB<sub>1</sub> sensing platform. Within the dynamic range of 0.2 - 25 ng/mL, the sensing platform expresses a good linear response to the level of AFB<sub>1</sub> with the R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9964 and LOD as 90 pg/mL. This method is applied to detect the actual serum samples and soybean milk with the recovery rate of 93.10% - 107.23% and 95.15% - 102.60% separately, and it can be used in the quantitative detection under the interference of other mycotoxins in a relatively accurate way. Conclusion: It is proved that this new detection method can be used as a potential biosensor platform for the detection of AFB<sub>1</sub>. This detection method features several advantages such as specificity, rapidness and low costs, which can meet the requirement of trace detection in clinical detection and food safety.
文摘Purpose: Interferon-γ (INF-γ) is a cytokine that participates in the immune reaction of the body. Its level of secretion can reflect the immune response condition after the body is infected by pathogens, which is a significant indication of clinically-related diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance in application to develop a fluorescence biosensor to inspect INF-γ with rapidness, high sensitivity and high practicability. Method: The fluorescence sensor is made on the basis of the two-dimensional nano-material namely Carbon Nitride Nanosheet (CNNS) and the Aptamer probe to identify INF-γ (Apt®INF-γ). CNNS can quickly quench the Cy5 fluorescent dye modified on the Apt®INF-γ probe due to the Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET), but when the INF-γ exists, Apt®INF-γ specifically identifies and combines it. The complex of Apt®INF-γ and INF-γ is away from CNNS, which can effectively block the fluorescent signal of Apt?INF-γ being quenched by CNNS. Result: The sensitive detection of IFN-γ protein can be achieved through the application of CNNS/Apt®INF-γ fluorescence sensing platform. In this method, the intensity of the fluorescent signal is positively correlated with the concentration of IFN-γ, of which the liner response range is 0.5 - 100 ng/mL and the limit of detection is 0.303 ng/mL. In addition, this fluorescence sensing platform has the advantages of high specificity, simple operation and low costs. It can inspect the content of IFN-γ in clinical serum samples without interference. The actual recovery rate of serum samples is 97.11% - 106.96%. Conclusion: Therefore, the CNNS/Apt®INF-γ sensing platform is expected to be implemented in the actual clinical detection, also conducive to developing a universal fluorescence biosensor to inspect other target materials.
