Fluorescent silica nanoparticle-based probe for the detection of ozone via fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) platform for the detection of ozone was developed by combining the overlap of the fluorescence spectrum of Ru(bpy)3(2+)-doped silica nanoparticles with the absorption spectrum of indigo carmine at around 600 nm. This FRET system can be used to detect ozone simply within 10 min. Simple qualitative ozone detection methods using cotton swabs or paper were also developed.

Evaluation and Characterization of Free and Immobilized Acethylcholinesterase with Fluorescent Probe, Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Docking
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme which catalyses the hydrolysis of choline esters, such as acetylcholine, is very important in nerve function. Previous structural studies showed the possible amyloid fibril formation on the AChE. Therefore it is important to understand interaction of ligands to prevent the formation of amyloid fibrils. The purpose of the present study was to char...
متن کاملSurface plasmon enhanced energy transfer between gold nanorods and fluorophores: application to endocytosis study and RNA detection.
Previously we have demonstrated surface plasmon enhanced energy transfer between fluorophores and gold nanorods under two-photon excitation using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) in both solution and intracellular phases. These studies demonstrated that gold nanoparticle-dye energy transfer combinations are appealing, not only in Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging, ...

متن کاملA FRET-based ratiometric fluorescent aptasensor for rapid and onsite visual detection of ochratoxin A.
A color change observable by the naked eye to indicate the content of an analyte is considered to be the most conceivable way of various sensing protocols. By taking advantage of the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) principles, we herein designed a dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent aptasensor for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection via a dual mode of fluorescent sensing and onsite visual s...
متن کاملQuantum dot-fluorescent protein FRET probes for sensing intracellular pH.
Intracellular pH (pH(i)) plays a critical role in the physiological and pathophysiological processes of cells, and fluorescence imaging using pH-sensitive indicators provides a powerful tool to assess the pH(i) of intact cells and subcellular compartments. Here we describe a nanoparticle-based ratiometric pH sensor, comprising a bright and photostable semiconductor quantum dot (QD) and pH-sensi...
