Abstract
It is still a significant challenge to synthesize ratiometric fluorescent probes for Cd2+ ions in aqueous solutions and biosamples. In the present study, we synthesized a fluorescent peptidyl probe (1, pyreneCys-Gly-Pro-Cys-OH) based on a Cd2+-triggered self-assembling process for the ratiometric fluorescent detection of Cd2+ in aqueous solution, urine, and live cells. The peptidyl probe (1) consisting of a pyrene fluorophore and a tetrapeptide receptor did not self-assemble in aqueous solutions, resulting in significant pyrene monomer emission at 395 nm. Upon addition of Cd2+, the probes self-assembled into nanoparticles, showing significant enhancement of the excimer emission at 475 nm and a significant decrease in monomer emission at 395 nm, as revealed by fluorescence, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy studies. Among 16 metal ions tested, only Cd2+ induced a sensitive ratiometric response. The ratiometric response showed an excellent linearity to Cd2+ ions, ranging from nanomolar to micromolar concentrations in aqueous solutions and urine samples. The detection limit for Cd2+ was 22 nM (R-2 = 0.984) and the dissociation constant was measured to be 130 pM (R-2 = 0.997) in aqueous solutions. Two thiol groups and a C-terminal carboxylic acid group of the peptide receptor of 1 play a critical role in binding with Cd2+. Furthermore, the probe penetrated live cells and detected intracellular Cd2+ by ratiometric responses. The specific metal ion-induced self-assembly of peptidyl probes could be a novel platform for the development of fluorescent detection methods for metal ions in aqueous samples and biosamples.
