荧光共轭聚合物在生物大分子检测中的应用*

共轭聚合物因其具有π-电子体系及共轭离域结构,一般都具有优异的发光性能,其发光强度和发射波长会随被检测化合物结构的不同而发生特异性响应,特别是在与被检测物相互作用过程中所产生电荷和能量能够沿共轭分子链进行有效传递,成倍放大这种作用,从而有效提高了检测灵敏度,这比相应的小分子化合物更具有优越性。目前共轭聚合物已被用于开发新型化学、生物传感器,尤其是在生物分子检测方面的应用得到迅速的发展。本文总结了近年来荧光共轭聚合物在生物传感方面的研究进展,主要讨论共轭聚合物在蛋白质、核酸及毒素检测中的应用。

Fluorescence detection of adenosine-5′-triphosphate and alkaline phosphatase based on the generation of CdS quantum dots

We have developed an analytical method to detect adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) based on the generation of CdS quantum dots (QDs). We demonstrated that Cd²⁺ cation reacts with S²⁻ anion to generate fluorescent CdS QDs in the presence of some certain amount of ATP. With increase in the ATP concentration, the fluorescence intensity of CdS QDs was also enhanced. ATP can be converted into adenosine by the dephosphorylation of ALP, so that the generation of CdS QDs would be inhibited in the presence of ALP. Therefore, this novel analysis system could be applied to assay ATP and ALP based on the growth of fluorescent CdS QDs.

Luminescent silver nanoclusters for efficient detection of adenosine triphosphate in a wide range of pH values

In this work, polymethacrylic acid (PMAA)-templated silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) were developed as the fluorescent probe for the efficient and sensitive detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in a wide range of pH values. The fluorescence intensity of the Ag NCs could keep stable with pH values ranging from 2.5 to 9.3. The detection of ATP was based on the quenching of the fluorescent Ag NCs in the presence of ATP. The fluorescence quenching of the Ag NCs with increasing ATP concentration was studied at pH 2.5, 4.5, 7.0 and 8.5 which involved a wide pH environment in body fluids. The limit of detection (LOD) for ATP was as low as 0.1 mmol/L in an acidic environment with pH of 2.5 and all the linear correlation coefficients were satisfactory under wide-span pH values from 2.5 to 8.5. In addition, the sensitive determination of ATP was also achieved by adding copper ions (Cu²⁺). The high selectivity and rapid detection process proved that the fluorescent probe had great potential to detect ATP in biological samples under different pH conditions.     

Label-Free Fluorescent Aptasensor Based on a Graphene Oxide Self-Assembled Probe for the Determination of Adenosine Triphosphate

A sensitive and selective fluorescent aptasensor for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was fabricated, composed of unbound SYBR Green I, graphene oxide, and a label-free detection probe. When ATP and complementary DNA of a signal probe were introduced, π-stacking interactions repelled the probe from the graphene oxide and formed a DNA-SYBR Green I duplex structure, triggering an increase in the fluorescence. ATP was determined over a linear range of 10 to 700 nM with a detection limit of 1 nM. The method displayed good selectivity, and is currently the most sensitive ATP fluorescence method. Furthermore, prominent fluorescence signals were also obtained in cellular assays. Consequently, the biosensor may have significant applications in protein, pathogenic microorganisms, and small molecule detection.     

Molecule-binding dependent assembly of split aptamer and γ-cyclodextrin: A sensitive excimer signaling approach for aptamer biosensors

A highly sensitive and selective fluorescence aptamer biosensors for the determination of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was developed. Binding of a target with splitting aptamers labeled with pyrene molecules form stable pyrene dimer in the γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) cavity, yielding a strong excimer emission. We have found that inclusion of pyrene dimer in γ-cyclodextrin cavity not only exhibits additive increases in quantum yield and emission lifetime of the excimer, but also facilitates target-induced fusion of the splitting aptamers to form the aptamer/target complex. As proof-of-principle, the approach was applied to fluorescence detection of adenosine triphosphate. With an anti-ATP aptamer, the approach exhibits excimer fluorescence response toward ATP with a maximum signal-to-background ratio of 32.1 and remarkably low detection limit of 80 nM ATP in buffer solution. Moreover, due to the additive fluorescence lifetime of excimer induced by γ-cyclodextrin, time-resolved measurements could be conveniently used to detect as low as 0.5 μM ATP in blood serum quantitatively.

A label-free and sensitive fluorescent assay for one step detection of protein kinase activity and inhibition

In this paper, a label-free, highly sensitive and simple assay for one step detection of protein kinase (PKA) activity and inhibition that avoids the fluorescent dye process has been established. The detection was based on the fluorescence (FL) quenching of peptide-Ag nanoclusters (Ag NCs) caused by antibody modified Au nanoparticles (anti-Au NPs) via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). With PKA and adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) introduced, the substrate peptide of Ag NCs could react with PKA via targeted phosphorylation, and followed by the linking interactions between peptide-Ag NCs and anti-Au NPs. According to the fluorescence quenching of Ag NCs, the activity of protein kinase can be facilely monitored in the range of 0.1–2000 mU/μL with high sensitivity. The detection limit for PKA is 0.039 mU/μL. We further explored the inhibitory effect of H-89 for protein kinase activity. The developed method was also applied to the investigation of drug-induced PKA activation in HeLa cells, which provides a promising means for screening of kinase-related drugs and the clinical diagnosis of disease.

A new method for the determination of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase activity in human erythrocytes by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography

A new method for the determination of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) activity in human erythrocytes is described. APRT activity was assayed by a non-radiochemical method in which adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and AMP metabolites produced from a substrate adenine were converted to inosine by alkaline phosphatase and adenosine deaminase. The inosine thus produced was quantitated by reversed phase HPLC. This method was simple, precise, sensitive and free from interference with other co-existing erythrocyte enzymes. Four patients with 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis and others with several disorders in purine metabolism have been studied, showing that the present method is clinically useful for the diagnosis and the evaluation of the severity of some human diseases.
