Abstract
Mercury ions (Hg2+) and sulfur ions (S2-), have caused serious harm to the ecological environment and human health as two kinds of highly toxic pollutants widely used. Therefore, the visual quantitative determination of Hg2+ and S2- is of great significance in the field of environmental monitoring and medical therapy. In this study, a novel fluorescent "on-off-on" peptide-based probe DNC was designed and synthesized using dipeptide (Asn-Cys-NH2) as the raw material via solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technology with Fmoc chemistry. DNC displayed high selectivity in the recognition of Hg2+, and formed non-fluorescence complex (DNC-Hg2+) through 2:1 binding mode. Notably, DNC-Hg2+ complex generated in situ was used as relay response probe for highly selective sequential detection of S2- through reversible formation-separation. DNC achieved highly sensitive detection of Hg2+ and S2- with the detection limits (LODs) of 8.4 nM and 5.5 nM, respectively. Meanwhile, DNC demonstrated feasibility for Hg2+ and S2- detections in two water samples, and the considerable recovery rate was obtained. More importantly, DNC showed excellent water solubility and low toxicity, and was successfully used for consecutive discerning Hg2+ and S2- in test strips, living cells and zebrafish larvae. As an effective visual analysis method in the field, smartphone RGB Color Picker APP realized semi-quantitative detections of Hg2+ and S2- without the need for complicated device.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is closely linked to not only environmental hazards, but also it affects human health due to its toxic nature and the exposure risks associated with several occupational settings. Therefore, detection of this pollutant in water sources has garnered immense importance in the analytical research arena. Several research groups have devoted great efforts to explore the selective as well as sensitive methods to detect H2S concentrations in water. Recent studies describe different strategies for sensing this ubiquitous gas in real-life water samples. Though many of the designed and developed H2S detection approaches based on the use of organic small molecules facilitate qualitative/quantitative detection of the toxic contaminant in water, optical detection has been acknowledged as one of the best, attributed to the simple, highly sensitive, selective, and good repeatability features of the technique. Therefore, this review is an attempt to offer a general perspective of easy-to-use and fast response optical detection techniques for H2S, fluorimetry and colorimetry, over a wide variety of other instrumental platforms. The review affords a concise summary of the various design strategies adopted by various researchers in constructing small organic molecules as H2S sensors and offers insight into their mechanistic pathways. Moreover, it collates the salient aspects of optical detection techniques and highlights the future scope for prospective exploration in this field based on the limitations of the existing H2S probes.

Abstract
A new ratiometric peptide-based fluorescent probe DWPH was designed and synthesized, comprising dansyl fluorophore as a fluorescent dye, and tripeptide backbone (Trp-Pro-His-NH2) as a recognition group. The addition of Hg2+ caused the maximum emission peak of DWPH to blue shift from 560 nm to 510 nm. DWPH exhibited large Stokes shift (230 nm), satisfactory water solubility (100 % aqueous medium), good selectivity (only Hg2+), high sensitivity (24.6 nM), rapid response (within 50 s) and strong anti-interference ability for Hg2+ detection over a wide pH range (7-11). Additionally, the complex DWPH-Hg2+ as a relay response probe could also be applied to S2- according to displacement approach. Notably, the detection limit for S2- was calculated as 23.3 nM, exhibiting that DWPH showed great potential for environmental monitoring and bioimaging. In addition, DWPH were successfully used to determine Hg2+ and S2- in living cells and zebrafish based on excellent permeability and low cytotoxicity. What's more, the gradient concentration color changes of Hg2+ and S2- were combined with the smartphone APP to obtain red-green-blue (RGB) values, thus enabling rapid semi-quantitative detection of Hg2+ and S2- without expensive instruments.

Abstract
A novel dual-functional peptide probe FLH based on fluorescent "on-off-on" strategy and colorimetric visualization method was designed and synthesized. This new probe exhibited highly selective and rapid detection of Cu2+ with significant fluorescent "turn-off" response, with a visible colorimetric change from yellow to orange. The combination ratio of FLH to Cu2+ (1:1) was determined using ESI-HRMS spectra and Job's plot. The fluorescent emission showed a good linear response (R2 = 0.9986) with a low detection limit of 1.5 nM. In addition, the FLH-Cu2+ complex displayed colorimetric changes and a fluorescent "off-on" response toward CN- over a wide pH range from 7 to 12. This detection behavior was observed within 20 s, with a limit of detection (LOD) for CN- at 12.7 nM. Based on stability and accuracy, FLH was next developed as dual-functional test strips, and was also successfully applied to detect Cu2+ and CN- in two actual water samples. More importantly, the cytotoxicity studies indicated that FLH had good biocompatibility and low toxicity, and was successfully utilized for monitoring Cu2+ and CN- in living cells through fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
A new fluorescent probe TPE-GHK was synthesized containing a tetrastyrene (TPE) derivative as fluorophore and classical tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys-NH2) as a receptor based on the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanism. TPE-GHK displayed high selectivity and rapid fluorescent "turn-on" response to Hg2+ among other competitive metal ions. The 2:1 complex binding mechanism of TPE-GHK toward Hg2+ was verified by fluorometric titration, Job's plots, and ESI-HRMS spectra. The fluorescent emission showed a good linear response in the range of 0-1.0 μM with the low detection limit of 28.6 nM. Meanwhile, TPE-GHK exhibited the excellent biocompatibility and low toxicity and was successfully applied in monitoring Hg2+ in living CAKI 2 cells, which demonstrated its potential application in environment and biological science.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe (DSD) was reasonably designed and synthesized with dansyl-labeled dipeptide (Dan-Ser-Asp-NH2). DSD featured remarkably large Stokes shift (230 nm) and perfect water solubility, and exhibited high selectivity and rapid recognition toward Cu2+via fluorescence quenching. The detection limit of DSD for Cu2+ was 2.4 nM, indicated that DSD has excellent sensitivity. In addition, the stoichiometry between DSD and Cu2+ were detected as 1:1 by fluorescence titration, Job's plot and ESI-HRMS data. As designed, DSD-Cu2+ system was able to sequentially detect CN- according to the displacement approach with fluorescence "off-on" response, and the detection limit for CN- was calculated to be 41.9 nM. Specifically, the response time of DSD with Cu2+ and CN- was less than 40 s, which rendered it suitable for real time detection in actual water samples. In addition, with the alternate addition of Cu2+ and CN-, the reversible cycles could be repeated for at least 10 times, indicated that DSD was a promising reversibility probe. DSD showed low toxicity and good biocompatibility, and was successfully applied to detect Cu2+ and CN- in living cells.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and selectivite detection of copper ions (Cu2+) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have become important research topics due to the potential harmful impacts of these chemicals to human health and the environment. In this study, we report the synthesis of a dual-functional peptide-based probe L (FITC-AhxSerSerHis), designed to mimic a copper-sulfur metalloprotein, and capable of continuous detection of Cu2+ and S2- based on colorimetric and fluorescent methods. The new probe L displayed excellent "turn off" fluorescence response and good selectivity for Cu2+ ions via a modification of the tripeptide and fluorescein isothiocyanate group, and produced an obvious color change visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, as an excitable probe, the L-Cu complex could continuously detect S2- with high selectivity and sensitivity in 100% aqueous buffered solutions. The detection limits for fluorescence titration measurements, calculated using the equation 3σ/k, were 76.7 nM (Cu2+) and 27.2 nM (S2-), which were well below U.S. EPA safety levels. In addition, L could be cycled to alternately detect Cu2+ and S2-, thereby making it a promising reversible probe. Moreover, L was successfully applied to monitoring Cu2+ and S2- in live RKO cells through fluorescence imaging, exhibiting low cytotoxicity and good cell permeability.

Abstract
Biosensors are analytical tools with a great application in healthcare, food quality control, and environmental monitoring. They are of considerable interest to be designed by using cost-effective and efficient approaches. Designing biosensors with improved functionality or application in new target detection has been converted to a fast-growing field of biomedicine and biotechnology branches. Experimental efforts have led to valuable successes in the field of biosensor design; however, some deficiencies restrict their utilization for this purpose. Computational design of biosensors is introduced as a promising key to eliminate the gap. A set of reliable structure prediction of the biosensor segments, their stability, and accurate descriptors of molecular interactions are required to computationally design biosensors. In this review, we provide a comprehensive insight into the progress of computational methods to guide the design and development of biosensors, including molecular dynamics simulation, quantum mechanics calculations, molecular docking, virtual screening, and a combination of them as the hybrid methodologies. By relying on the recent advances in the computational methods, an opportunity emerged for them to be complementary or an alternative to the experimental methods in the field of biosensor design.

Abstract
Herein, we reported a novel fluorescent chemosensor (DY) based on dansyl group and tyrosine by solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) for the detection of mercury(II) ions with excellent selectivity among 17 different metal ions. As designed, DY exhibited a sensitive fluorescence "turn-on" response to Hg2+ with low detection limits of 22.65 nM. A stoichiometric ratio (2: 1) of chemosensor DY and Hg2+ ions was determined by a Job's plot, fluorescent titration and the ESI-MS spectra. Especially, the reversible of DY-Hg with EDTA establishes the reuse of DY, and the circulation effect was very good. Furthermore, the wide pH range of 6-10 makes it capable of application in biological systems. Moreover, DY has been successfully applied to the detection of Hg2+ ions and EDTA in living HeLa and HK2 cells based on low cytotoxicity and good membrane permeability.

Abstract
Mercury is one of the most hazardous pollutants, and mercury pollution is a serious hazard to our environment. Herein, we designed and synthesized a new peptide-based fluorescent chemosensor (L) based on a Fmoc-Lys (Fmoc)-OH backbone conjugated with two Serines and dansyl groups using solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technology. L exhibited highly selective and excellent sensitive detection of Hg2+ ions in 100% aqueous solutions through fluorescence quenching. The chemosensor L forms a 2:1 stoichiometry with high binding constants (4.89×106M-1) and the detection limit for Hg2+ ions of the proposed assay was 7.59nM. In addition, the recovery test results of Hg2+ concentration in actual water samples showed that the quantitative detection of Hg2+ ions can be realized in two water samples. Moreover, L showed low cytotoxicity and excellent membrane permeability in HK2 cells, which has been successfully applied for monitoring Hg2+ ions in living LNCaP cells.
