Advances in the development and component recognition of latent fingerprints

Fingerprints have been used as an indispensable tool for personal identification in forensic investigations since the late 19 th century. At present, fingerprinting technology has moved away from its forensic roots and is incorporating a broader scientific range, e.g., material science, spectroscopy and spectral analysis, and even in vitro diagnosis. After a brief introduction to latent fingerprints, this mini-review presents the pioneering progresses of fingerprinting technologies including(i) material and electrochemical techniques, and(ii) spectral and spectroscopy imaging techniques and immunological techniques capable of both the visualization of a fingerprint and the detection of chemicals present in it. Finally, perspectives on this rapidly developing field are discussed.

Water‐Soluble Triarylboron Compound for ATP Imaging In Vivo Using Analyte‐Induced Finite Aggregation

Adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional molecule that participates in many important biological processes. Currently, fluorescence indicators for ATP with high performance are in demand. Reported herein is a novel water‐soluble triarylboron compound which displays an apparent ATP‐dependent fluorescence enhancement when dispersed in water. It can selectively recognize ATP from other bioactive substances in vitro and in vivo. The ATP‐induced finite aggregation endows the indicator with appreciable photostability and superior tolerance to environmental electrolytes. This indicator has been successfully applied to the ATP imaging in NIH/3T3 fibroblast cells. The difference in the ATP levels within the membrane and cytosol is clearly visible.     

Gap site-specific rapid formation of fluorescent silver nanoclusters for label-free DNA nucleobase recognition

Silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) templated with DNAs have attracted much attention as novel fluorophores because of their convenient emission tunability by the sequence and length of the template DNAs. However, the precise production of Ag NCs in a site-specific manner still remains a challenge to attain highly selective and label-free DNA recognition. Here we exploited the availability of a gap site in DNA duplexes as a new scaffold for the synthesis of Ag NCs. Compared to the commonly used DNA templates for the creation of Ag NCs, the gap site in DNA duplexes was found to facilitate the rapid formation of the fluorescent Ag NCs without sacrifice of their bright emission and excellent stability. We found that fluorescent Ag NCs were highly selectively formed when cytosine faced toward the gap site in DNA duplexes, and they were in situ utilized as readout by signal-on manner for the DNA mutation assays. This base-selective growth of the fluorescent Ag NCs at the gap site would find promising applications in practical detection of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and construction of DNA-based functional sensors with label-free and cost-effective merits.     

A novel ion‐imprinted hydrogel for recognition of potassium ions with rapid response

A novel ion‐imprinted strategy is developed for synthesizing responsive hydrogels with rapid response to potassium ions. With potassium ions as templates, ion‐imprinted poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide‐co‐benzo‐15‐crown‐5‐acrylamide) (P(NIPAM‐co‐B15C5Am)) hydrogels are synthesized with 15‐crown‐5 crown ethers mounted on the polymer networks in pairs; therefore, it is very easy and fast for the crown ethers to capture potassium ions again by their Venus flytrap action and form stable 2:1 “host–guest” complexes with potassium ions in the ion‐recognition process. As a result, the response rate of the ion‐imprinted hydrogels to potassium ions is significantly faster than that of normal P(NIPAM‐co‐B15C5Am) hydrogels in which 15‐crown‐5 crown ethers are randomly pendent on the polymeric networks.

Intramolecular excimer formation and delayed fluorescence in sterically constrained pyrene dimers

The synthesis is described for a series of five molecular dyads comprising pyrene-based terminals covalently linked through a 1,3-disubstituted phenylene spacer. The extent of through-space communication between the pyrene units is modulated by steric interactions imposed by bulky moieties attached at the 6,8-positions of each pyrene unit. For the control compound, only hydrogen atoms occupy the 6,8 positions (DP1), whereas the remaining compounds incorporate ethynylene groups terminated with either triisopropylsilyl (DP2), 1-tert-butylbenzene (DP3), 2,6-di-tert-butylbenzene (DP4) or 1-tert-butyl-3,5-dimethylbenzene (DP5) units. Each compound shows a mixture of monomer and excimer fluorescence in fluid solution at room temperature, but only monomer emission in a glassy matrix at 77 K. The ratio of monomer to excimer fluorescence depends markedly on the molecular structure; DP1 is heavily biased in favour of the excimer and DP4 is enriched with monomer fluorescence. Photophysical properties, including laser induced and delayed fluorescence data, are reported for each compound. Delayed fluorescence occurs by both intramolecular and bimolecular steps, but these events take place on different timescales. The possibility is raised for using intramolecular triplet-triplet annihilation as a means of molecular imaging.     

In vivo Fluorescence Imaging of Tumors using Molecular Aptamers Generated by Cell‐SELEX

Poor sensitivity and low specificity of current molecular imaging probes limit their application in clinical settings. To address these challenges, we used a process known as cell‐SELEX to develop unique molecular probes termed aptamers with the high binding affinity, sensitivity, and specificity needed for in vivo molecular imaging inside living animals. Importantly, aptamers can be selected by cell‐SELEX to recognize target cells, or even surface membrane proteins, without requiring prior molecular signature information. As a result, we are able to present the first report of aptamers molecularly engineered with signaling molecules and optimized for the fluorescence imaging of specific tumor cells inside a mouse. Using a Cy5‐labeled aptamer TD05 (Cy5‐TD05) as the probe, the in vivo efficacy of aptamer‐based molecular imaging in Ramos (B‐cell lymphoma) xenograft nude mice was tested. After intravenous injection of Cy5‐TD05 into mice bearing grafted tumors, noninvasive, whole‐body fluorescence imaging then allowed the spatial and temporal distribution to be directly monitored. Our results demonstrate that the aptamers could effectively recognize tumors with high sensitivity and specificity, thus establishing the efficacy of these fluorescent aptamers for diagnostic applications and in vivo studies requiring real‐time molecular imaging.     

Near‐Infrared‐Light‐Mediated Imaging of Latent Fingerprints based on Molecular Recognition

Photoluminescence is one of the most sensitive techniques for fingerprint detection, but it also suffers from background fluorescence and selectivity at the expense of generality. The method described herein integrates the advantages of near‐infrared‐light‐mediated imaging and molecular recognition. In principle, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) functionalized with a lysozyme‐binding aptamer were used to detect fingerprints through recognizing lysozyme in the fingerprint ridges. UCNPs possess the ability to suppress background fluorescence and make it possible for fingerprint imaging on problematic surfaces. Lysozyme, a universal compound in fingerprints, was chosen as the target, thus simultaneously meeting the selectivity and generality criteria in photoluminescence approaches. Fingerprints on different surfaces and from different people were detected successfully. This strategy was used to detect fingerprints with cocaine powder by using UCNPs functionalized with a cocaine‐binding aptamer.     

Non-invasive detection of superimposed latent fingerprints and inter-ridge trace evidence by infrared spectroscopic imaging

Current latent print and trace evidence collecting technologies are usually invasive and can be destructive to the original deposits. We describe a non-invasive vibrational spectroscopic approach that yields latent fingerprints that are overlaid on top of one another or that may contain trace evidence that needs to be distinguished from the print. Because of the variation in the chemical composition distribution within the fingerprint, we demonstrate that linear unmixing applied to the spectral content of the data can be used to provide images that reveal superimposed fingerprints. In addition, we demonstrate that the chemical composition of the trace evidence located in the region of the print can potentially be identified by its infrared spectrum. Thus, trace evidence found at a crime scene that previously could not be directly related to an individual, now has the potential to be directly related by its presence in the individual-identifying fingerprints. A portion of this work was presented at the 16th Meeting of the International Association of Forensic Sciences, Montpellier, France September 2–7, 2002.     

A novel carbazole-based ratiometric fluorescent sensor for Zn recognition through excimer formation and application of the resultant complex for colorimetric recognition of oxalate through IDAs

A new carbazole-based Zn²⁺ selective fluorescent sensor L has been developed. In CH₃CN/H₂O (1:1, v/v, HEPES 10 mM, pH=7.4) solution, L displays selective and ratiometric responses to Zn²⁺ through excimer formation. The Zn²⁺ recognition process has good anti-interference ability over other metal ions. The dinuclear complex Zn₂L₂ was further used as a receptor for oxalate. Through constructing a chemosensing ensemble with chromeazurol S, colorimetric recognition of oxalate in water solution was achieved via indicator displacement assays. The oxalate recognition process exhibits obvious color changes from blue to yellow and is naked eye detectable.     

A New Tetraphenylethylene‐Derived Fluorescent Probe for Nitroreductase Detection and Hypoxic‐Tumor‐Cell Imaging

The fluorescence detection of nitroreductase (NTR) and evaluation of the hypoxia status of tumor cells are vital, not only for clinical diagnoses and therapy, but also for biomedical research. Herein, we report the synthesis and application of a new fluorometric “turn‐on” probe for the detection of NTR ( TPE?NO₂ ) that takes advantage of the aggregation‐induced emission of tetraphenylethylene. TPE?NO₂ can detect NTR at concentrations as low as 5 ng mL^?1 in aqueous solution. The detection mechanism relied on the aggregation and deaggregation of tetraphenylethylene molecules. Moreover, this fluorescent probe can be used to monitor the hypoxia status of tumor cells through the detection of endogenous NTR.
