A fluorescent probe with restricted intramolecular rotation-induced emission for label-free detection of mercury ions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Formation of T-Hg(2+)-T complexes changes the configuration of a single-stranded DNA, leading to enhanced fluorescence of an anchored cyanine-based probe that displays restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR)-induced emission. This label-free system can be used as a sensor for mercury ions with a detection limit of 4 nM.

Visualization of the intracellular location and stability of DNA origami with a label-free fluorescent probe.
We report a label-free fluorescent strategy to study the distribution and stability of DNA origami nanostructures in live, cellular systems, using carbazole-based biscyanine as a probe molecule which has the characteristic property of restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR) induced emission.
متن کاملAn amine/imine functionalized microporous MOF as a new fluorescent probe exhibiting selective sensing of Fe3+ and Al3+ over mixed metal ions
Nowadays metal-organic frameworks with multiple luminescent centers are very fascinating as multifunctional luminescent material because of their luminescence properties, which could be systematically tuned by deliberate use of organic ligands and metal ions. In this research, we explored a microporous mixed-ligand MOF for highly selective and sensitive detection of metal ions. A two-fold inter...
متن کاملLabel-free fluorescent probing of G-quadruplex formation and real-time monitoring of DNA folding by a quaternized tetraphenylethene salt with aggregation-induced emission characteristics.
Biosensing processes such as molecular beacons require non-trivial effort to covalently label or mark biomolecules. We report here a label-free DNA assay system with a simple dye with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics as the fluorescent bioprobe. 1,1,2,2-Tetrakis[4-(2-bromoethoxy)phenyl]ethene is nonemissive in solution but becomes highly emissive when aggregated. This AIE effe...

The metal-induced intramolecular cyclization reaction of an azo dye was exploited for the colorimetric detection of mercury ions in water. The molecular probe 3 responds selectively to nM-level Hg(II) ions in neutral aqueous solutions.
متن کاملA Light-Up Probe for Detection of Adenosine in Urine Samples by a Combination of an AIE Molecule and an Aptamer
A light-up fluorescent probe for the detection of adenosine was constructed with an AIE (aggregation-induced emission) molecule and a DNA aptamer. The AIE molecule was used as a signal generator, and the DNA aptamer was used as a recognition element for adenosine. The emission of the AIE molecule was due to its intramolecular rotation restriction induced by the aptamer upon binding of adenosine...
