- Abstract
- The fluorometric turn-off-on biosensor was developed for the ultra-sensitive detection of mercury (Hg2+) and cysteine (Cys) utilizing the highly fluorescent carbon dots (CDs). Herein, the sophisticated low-temperature reflux-mediated reaction was adopted using precursors namely citric acid (CA) and polyphenolic kaempferol (KMP) by using dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent. The resulting CDs (i.e., CKCDs) were in the highly negative charged groups (-OH) presented with a bright-orange fluorescence. These CKCDs were functionalized with 4-vinylaniline (4-VA) by employing EDC/NHS coupling reaction, which switched its photoluminescence (PL) towards the strong-blue colored emission and termed as V-CKCDs. The functionalized V-CKCDs can be capable enough to detect mercury via the strong electrostatic interactions between positively charged Hg2+ cations and negatively charged anions (-OH groups). Hence, an adequate fluorescence quenching was observed in V-CKCDs with the lowest concentrations of Hg2+ around 0.5 mu M. Significantly, after adding the complex of V-CKCDs-Hg(2+ )to the Cys, the fluorescence enhancement was observed. This might be attributed from the strong interactions between Hg(2+ )in the fluorescence sensing system and thiol (-SH) moieties from the Cys. The developed V-CKCDs are highly sensitive for detecting Hg(2+ )and Cys, which showed detection limits of 10.6 and 42. 48 nM, respectively. Also, the in vivo studies were investigated in zebrafish larvae using V-CKCDs for the detection of Hg2+ and Cys. The V-CKCDs were investigated in the real water samples and human serum to detect Hg2+ and Cys, respectively.
