Abstract
In this work, we developed a simple and sensitive method for the detection of cysteine (Cys) by employing terbium ion (Tb(3+))-promoted G-qudraplex (G4/Tb) as a luminescent probe, which is based on Ag(+)-mediated conformational change of G4/Tb. Due to Ag(+) is able to compete with Tb(3+) to bind guanine at G4, the presence of Ag(+) can lead to the formation of G4/Tb-Ag(+) complex and disrupt the structure of G4/Tb. Meanwhile, the binding of Ag(+) with G4/Tb will also cause the alteration of the excited state of G4 and more efficient energy transfer from G4 to Tb(3+), enhancing the luminescence of G4/Tb. However, upon the addition of Cys, Ag(+) will be released from G4/Tb-Ag(+) complex because of the high affinity of Cys to Ag(+). This results in the re-formation of the conformation of G4/Tb and the decrease of the luminescence of G4/Tb. So, Ag(+)-enhanced luminescence of G4/Tb is associated with its conformational transformation. As a luminescent probe for Cys, G4/Tb not only shows excellent selectivity and sensitivity with a detection limit of 20 nM, but also possesses the features of simple preparation, easy reproducibility, and eliminating the interferences from background fluorescence. We envision that the presented strateg...Continue Reading
