Abstract
Self-indicating polymers have emerged as a promising class of smart materials that possess the unique ability to undergo detectable variations in their physical or chemical properties in response to various stimuli. This article presents an overview of the most important mechanisms through which these materials exhibit self-indication, including aggregation, phase transition, covalent and non-covalent bond cleavage, isomerization, charge transfer, and energy transfer. Aggregation is a prevalent mechanism observed in self-indicating polymers, where changes in the degree of molecular organization result in variations in optical or electrical properties. Phase transition-induced self-indication relies on the transformation between different phases, such as liquid-to-solid or crystalline-to-amorphous transitions, leading to observable changes in color or conductivity. Covalent bond cleavage-based self-indicating polymers undergo controlled degradation or fragmentation upon exposure to specific triggers, resulting in noticeable variations in their structural or mechanical properties. Isomerization is another crucial mechanism exploited in self-indicating polymers, where the reversible transformation between the different isomeric forms induces detectable changes in fluorescence or absorption spectra. Charge transfer-based self-indicating polymers rely on the modulation of electron or hole transfer within the polymer backbone, manifesting as changes in electrical conductivity or redox properties. Energy transfer is an essential mechanism utilized by certain self-indicating polymers, where energy transfer between chromophores or fluorophores leads to variations in the emission characteristics. Furthermore, this review article highlights the diverse range of applications for self-indicating polymers. These materials find particular use in sensing and monitoring applications, where their responsive nature enables them to act as sensors for specific analytes, environmental parameters, or mechanical stress. Self-indicating polymers have also been used in the development of smart materials, including stimuli-responsive coatings, drug delivery systems, food sensors, wearable devices, and molecular switches. The unique combination of tunable properties and responsiveness makes self-indicating polymers highly promising for future advancements in the fields of biotechnology, materials science, and electronics.

Oligomer Sensor Nanoarchitectonics for “Turn-On” Fluorescence Detection of Cholesterol at the Nanomolar Level. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27092856. [PMID: 35566207 PMCID: PMC9100198 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27092856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Sensitive and rapid monitoring of cholesterol levels in the human body are highly desirable as they are directly related to the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. By using the nanoarchitectonic approach, a novel fluorescent conjugated oligofluorene (OFP-CD) functionalized with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was assembled for “Turn-On” fluorescence sensing of cholesterol. The appended β-CD units in OFP-CD enabled the forming of host-guest complexes with dabsyl chloride moieties in water, resulting in fluorescence quenching of the oligofluorene through intermolecular energy transfer. In the presence of cholesterol molecules, a more favorable host-guest complex with stoichiometry 1 cholesterol: 2 β-CD units was formed, replacing dabsyl chloride in β-CD’s cavities. This process resulted in fluorescence recovery of OFP-CD, owing to disruption of energy transfer. The potential of this nanoarchitectonic system for “Turn-On” sensing of cholesterol was extensively studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. The high selectivity of the sensor for cholesterol was demonstrated using biologically relevant interfering compounds, such as carbohydrates, amino acids, metal ions, and anions. The detection limit (LOD value) was as low as 68 nM, affirming the high sensitivity of the current system.

Abstract
The molecular diversity of aggregation-induced emission remains to be challenging due to the limitation of conventional synthesis methods. Here, a series of novel neutral and cationic conjugated polymers composed with various ratios of tetraarylethylene (TAE) containing a bridged oxygen (O) and fluorene (F) units are designed and synthesized via the geminal cross-coupling (GCC) of 1,1-dibromoolefins. The incorporation of TAE segments into the conjugated backbone of polyfluorene produces pronounced aggregation-induced ratiometric fluorescence (AIRF), i.e., aggregation-induced emission (AIE) at 520-600 nm grows synergistically with aggregations-caused quenching (ACQ) at 400-450 nm. The content of fluorene unit in the polymer backbones determines the intensity of the initial fluorescence at blue light region. The huge distinction (about 150 nm) in dual emission wavelengths caused by the environment change makes these conjugated polyelectrolytes particularly suitable for ratiometric fluorescence sensing. Based on electrostatic interaction mechanism, the gradual addition of heparin into the cationic conjugated polymers aqueous solutions could induce dual-color fluorescence changes with a detection limit of 9 nM. This work exhibits the great facility of using GCC reaction to synthesis the conjugated TAE polymers with superior AIE properties and special functions. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Monitoring the level of heparin in clinical matrices is significant because of its pivotal role in preventing thrombosis. Compared to traditional single-signal sensors, multi-signal ratiometric detection can provide anti-interference results especially in complicated environments. However, fabricating an easy-to-operation, low-cost and robust sensor for the ratiometric detection of heparin still remains challenging. Here we propose a novel nanosensor for the ratiometric multicolor sensing of heparin with high performance. The sensor is based on the specific electrostatic interaction between the target and a positively charged species generated from nanozyme catalysis. FeMoO4 nanorods are explored as an oxidase mimic for the first time, showing a high activity at neutral pH to catalyze the colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation to blue TMBox with an absorbance at 652 nm. Heparin can induce the rapid aggregation of the produced TMBox intermediate with rich positive charges due to their strong electrostatic interaction, leading to the formation of a purple Heparin-TMBox complex providing a signal at 565 nm. With the increase of heparin, the color changes from blue to indigo and further purple, enabling the multicolor sensing of the target. As a result, ultrasensitive determination of heparin was obtained with a very low detection limit. The fabricated nanosensor could differentiate heparin from complex species with no interferences, and it provided reliable analytical results for heparin in both serum and plasma. With robust performance, low cost and facile fabrication, the sensor holds great potential in monitoring heparin for clinical applications.

Abstract
Ultrathin, lightweight, flexible, and conformable interactive displays that transduce external stimuli into human-readable signals are essential for emerging applications, such as wearable electronics, human-machine interfaces, and soft robots. Herein, a biomolecule-interactive flexible light emitting capacitor (LEC) display (BIO-LEC) capable of dynamic and quantitative visualization of biomolecules through naked-eye detectable electroluminescence (EL) emission is reported. BIO-LEC comprises a coplanar LEC light source at the bottom, and a designed microfluidic chip as sampling compartment at the top. The quantitative measurement feature of BIO-LEC is achieved by introducing the top liquid electrode, which possesses a unique long dielectric realization time, in the microfluidic chip. BIO-LEC is novel for the following reasons, 1) simple stimuli response principle based on correlating EL intensity to dielectric properties of the top liquid electrode; 2) simple test conditions whereby no labeling is required in the analyte solution to optically detect biomolecules; 3) effective sampling method through the design of an integrated microfluidic chip for hosting the top liquid electrode, ensuring good reproducibility and preventing contamination; 4) sensitive detection limit for heparin concentrations at clinically relevant levels, and 5) high compliance with industrial manufacturing standards.

Abstract
A new fluorene-pyridine oligoelectrolyte (OFP) is rationally proposed and readily synthesized via a simple one-pot Sonogashira approach. Hence, an unexpectedly small cationic oligomer nanosensor (i.e. OFPNPs, ∼ 1.2 nm in diameter) was conveniently fabricated owing to the enhanced flexibility endowed by the meta-substituted pyridyl unit. Inspiringly, this facile nanoplatform with low cytotoxicity favors the ultrasensitive fluorescence assay for heparin and protamine with a detection limit (LOD, S/N = 3) as low as 1.2 ng mL-1 and 0.5 ng mL-1, respectively, involving heparin-induced aggregation of OFPNPs through electrostatic interaction or competitive rebinding of protamine to heparin.

Abstract
The recent pandemic of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused huge worldwide disruption due to the lack of available testing locations and equipment. The use of optical techniques for viral detection has flourished in the past 15 years, providing more reliable, inexpensive, and accurate detection methods. In the current minireview, optical phenomena including fluorescence, surface plasmons, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and colorimetry are discussed in the context of detecting virus pathogens. The sensitivity of a viral detection method can be dramatically improved by using materials that exhibit surface plasmons or SERS, but often this requires advanced instrumentation for detection. Although fluorescence and colorimetry lack high sensitivity, they show promise as point-of-care diagnostics because of their relatively less complicated instrumentation, ease of use, lower costs, and the fact that they do not require nucleic acid amplification. The advantages and disadvantages of each optical detection method are presented, and prospects for applying optical biosensors in COVID-19 detection are discussed.

Abstract
Fast and efficient identification of bacterial pathogens in water and biological fluids is an important issue in medical, food safety, and public health concerns that requires low-cost and efficient sensing strategies. Impedimetric sensors are promising tools for monitoring bacteria detection because of their reliability and ease-of-use. We herein report a study on new biointerface-based amphiphilic poly(3-hexylthiophene)-b-poly(3-triethylene-glycol-thiophene), P3HT-b-P3TEGT, for label-free impedimetric detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli). This biointerface is fabricated by the self-assembly of P3HT-b-P3TEGT into core-shell nanoparticles, which was further decorated with mannose, leading to an easy-to-use solution-processable nanoparticle material for biosensing. The hydrophilic block P3TEGT promotes antifouling and prevents nonspecific interactions, while improving the ionic and electronic transport properties, thus enhancing the electrochemical-sensing capability in aqueous solution. Self-assembly and micelle formation of P3HT-b-P3TEGT were analyzed by 2D-NMR, Fourier transform infrared, dynamic light scattering, contact angle, and microscopy characterizations. Detection of E. coli was characterized and evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and optical and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The sensing layer based on the mannose-functionalized P3HT-b-P3TEGT nanoparticles demonstrates targeting ability toward E. coli pili protein with a detection range from 103 to 107 cfu/mL, and its selectivity was studied with Gram(+) bacteria. Application to real samples was performed by detection of bacteria in tap and the Nile water. The approach developed here shows that water/alcohol-processable-functionalized conjugated polymer nanoparticles are suitable for use as electrode materials, which have potential application in fabrication of a low-cost, label-free impedimetric biosensor for the detection of bacteria in water.

Abstract
Cationic and zwitterionic polyelectrolytes are synthesized through atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), comprising a polyfluorene backbone with a small fraction of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDMAEMA) side chains. Due to higher charge density generated from grafted side chains, two polymers show higher water solubility and higher quantum yield. In comparison with cationic polyelectrolytes, zwitterionic polyelectrolytes are stable over a broad pH range from 1 to 13, even in 1 M NaCl solution. The absence of FRET between zwitterionic polymers and dye-labeled ssDNA indicates their ultralow nonspecific adsorption, while cationic polymer shows much stronger nonspecific interactions. The MTT assay of zwitterionic polymers exhibits their minimal cytotoxicity and potential in long-term clinical application. Most importantly, zwitterionic polymer could be efficiently taken up by cells, whereas cationic polymer stains the surface of cell due to membrane disruption generated from positive charges. The results illustrate that conjugated zwitterionic polymer could serve as a novel type of highly efficient ultralow fouling material with low cytotoxicity for labelling cell or potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
Heparin is a glycosaminoglycan with the highest negative charge density of any known biological molecule. Herein, this highly negative charge structure of heparin and the charge effect from positively-charged AuNPs for luminol chemiluminescence (CL) reaction were combined to build a facile and sensitive CL strategy for detection of heparin. The highly negative charge structure of heparin molecules (four negatively-charged side groups per repeat unit) and the effective signal amplification of charge effect from positively-charged AuNPs make this analysis to display high sensitivity for heparin detection, and the detection limit is as low as 0.06 ng/mL. It is about two orders of magnitude lower than the previously reported colorimetric assay and far lower than the current analysis methods. The established CL strategy is to use the electrostatic interaction between heparin and signal probe (positively-charged AuNPs). Since polyanionic heparin has the highest negative charge in biological system, this CL sensing shows high selectivity for the detection of heparin, and hyaluronic acid (HA), an analogue of heparin, cannot cause interference. This CL sensing succeeded in detecting heparin in human serum samples. Besides, polycationic protamine, heparin antidote, can respond to the system's CL signals through its strong interactions with heparin, thus indirectly detecting protamine. For protamine in serum samples, the detection result was basically consistent with Coomassie brilliant blue assay.

Abstract
Heparin is an anionic polysaccharide widely used in clinics as an anticoagulant. However, heparin usage requires an antidote and sensors for safe operation during and after surgeries. In this study, a host-guest complex capable of selective heparin binding and sensing is presented. Heparin binding affinity was studied in solution with a variety of polycationic macrocyclic hosts, a pillar[5]arene and multiple resorcin[4]arenes, by dynamic light scattering, dye displacement assay, isothermal titration calorimetry, and anti-Xa assay. The measurements reveal the significant importance of multivalency in electrostatic host-heparin binding in competitive, application-relevant media. Additionally, to monitor the heparin concentration, a host-guest indicator displacement assay was performed by following the free and bound state of the methyl orange dye in UV-Vis spectroscopic experiments. Furthermore, this colorimetric sensing based on the tertiary host-guest-heparin supramolecular assembly was utilized in the construction of a calibration curve in a range of blood plasma concentrations.

Abstract
Oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) based bis-pyridinium derivatives show 'ratiometric' detection of heparin in water. For the first time, we present a dose-dependent, multi-color emission switching in the presence of heparin. The reversible self-assembly of probes with heparin as the stimulus is also exploited for the screening of heparinase I enzyme.

Abstract
The development of highly efficient latent fingerprint (LFP) technology remains extremely vital for forensic and criminal investigations. In this contribution, a straightforward, rapid, and cost-effective method has been established for the quick development of well-preserved latent fingerprint on multiple substrates, including plastic, glass, aluminum foil, metallic surfaces, and so forth, without any additional treatment, based on aggregation-induced enhanced emission-active conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) 3,3'-((2-(4-(1,2-diphenyl-2-(p-tolyl)vinyl)phenyl)-7-(7-methylbenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazol-4-yl)-9H-fluorene-9,9-diyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl))bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) bromide, revealing clearly the third-level details (ridges, bifurcations, and pores) with high selectivity, high contrast, and no background interference even by blood stains, confirming the ability of the proposed technique for LFP detection with high resolution. The LFP development process was accomplished simply by immersing fingerprint-loaded substrate into the CPE solution for ∼1 min, followed by shaking off the residual polymer solution and then air drying. The CPE was readily transferred to the LFPs because of the strong electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction between the CPE molecules and the fingerprint components revealing distinct fluorescent images on various smooth nonporous surfaces.

Abstract
Constructing "turn on" fluorescent probes for heparin, a most widely used anticoagulant in clinics, from commercially available materials is of great importance, but remains challenging. Here, we report the formation of a rarely observed emissive H-aggregate of an ultrafast molecular rotor dye, Thioflavin-T, in the presence of heparin, which provides an excellent platform for simple, economic and rapid fluorescence turn-on sensing of heparin. Generally, H-aggregates are considered as serious problem in the field of biomolecular sensing, owing to their poorly emissive nature resulting from excitonic interaction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report, where contrastingly, the turn-on emission from the H-aggregates has been utilized in the biomolecule sensing scheme, and enables a very efficient and selective detection of a vital biomolecule and a drug with its extensive medical applications, i.e., heparin. Our sensor system offers several advantages including, emission in the biologically advantageous red-region, dual sensing, i.e., both by fluorimetry and colorimetry, and most importantly constructed from in-expensive commercially available dye molecule, which is expected to impart a large impact on the sensing field of heparin. Our system displays good performance in complex biological media of serum samples. The novel Thioflavin-T aggregate emission could be also used to probe the interaction of heparin with its only clinically approved antidote, Protamine.

Abstract
We report citrate-capped platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) as oxidase mimetics for effectively catalyzing the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), dopamine, and methylene blue in the presence of O2. To confirm oxidase-like activity of citrate-capped Pt NPs, their activity toward oxygen reduction reaction was studied using cyclic voltammetry and rotating ring-disk electrode method. The results obtained showed that Pt NP NPs can catalyze the oxidation of organic substrates to the colored product and the reduction of oxygen to water through a four-electron exchange process. Because the aggregation of Pt NPs can inhibit their oxidase-like activity and protamine can recognize heparin, we prepared the protamine-modified Pt NPs through direct adsorption on the surface of citrate-capped Pt NPs. The electrostatic attraction between heparin and protamine-stabilized Pt NPs induced nanoparticle aggregation, inhibiting their catalytic activity. Therefore, the lowest detectable heparin concentrations through UV-vis absorption and by the naked eye were estimated to be 0.3 and 60nM, respectively. Moreover, the proposed system enabled the determination of the therapeutic heparin concentration in a single drop of blood.

Abstract
Supramolecular complexes of a family of positively charged conjugated polymers (CPs) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) create a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based ratiometric biosensor array. Selective multivalent interactions of the CPs with mammalian cell surfaces caused differential change in FRET signals, providing a fingerprint signature for each cell type. The resulting fluorescence signatures allowed the identification of 16 different cell types and discrimination between healthy, cancerous, and metastatic cells, with the same genetic background. While the CP-GFP sensor array completely differentiated between the cell types, only partial classification was achieved for the CPs alone, validating the effectiveness of the ratiometric sensor. The utility of the biosensor was further demonstrated in the detection of blinded unknown samples, where 121 of 128 samples were correctly identified. Notably, this selectivity-based sensor stratified diverse cell types in minutes, using only 2000 cells, without requiring specific biomarkers or cell labeling.

Abstract
The interaction between heparin (Hep) and lysozyme (Lyso) in vitro was studied by fluorescence, UV-vis, circular dichroism (CD), resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) under normal physiological conditions. UV-vis spectra of Lyso showed the absorbance was significantly increased with the addition of Hep. Fluorescence studies revealed that the emission quenching of Lyso with Hep was initiated by static quenching mechanism. CD spectral studies showed that Hep induced conformational changes in the secondary structure of Lyso. RRS spectra of Lyso showed the intensity of scattering was significantly increased with the addition of Hep and the enhanced RRS intensities were proportional to the concentration of Hep in a certain range. Thus, a new RRS method using Lyso as a probe could be used for the determination of Hep. The detection limit for Hep was 3.9 ng mL(-1). In addition, the shape of the complex was characterized by AFM. The possible reaction mechanism and the reasons for the enhancement of RRS intensity had been discussed through experimental results.

Abstract
Polymer encapsulated organic nanoparticles have recently attracted increasing attention in the biomedical field because of their unique optical properties, easy fabrication and outstanding performance as imaging and therapeutic agents. Of particular importance is the polymer encapsulated nanoparticles containing conjugated polymers (CP) or fluorogens with aggregation induced emission (AIE) characteristics as the core, which have shown significant advantages in terms of tunable brightness, superb photo- and physical stability, good biocompatibility, potential biodegradability and facile surface functionalization. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in the development of polymer encapsulated CP and AIE fluorogen nanoparticles, including preparation methods, material design and matrix selection, nanoparticle fabrication and surface functionalization for fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging. We also discuss their specific applications in cell labeling, targeted in vitro and in vivo imaging, blood vessel imaging, cell tracing, inflammation monitoring and molecular imaging. We specially focus on strategies to fine-tune the nanoparticle property (e.g. size and fluorescence quantum yield) through precise engineering of the organic cores and careful selection of polymer matrices. The review also highlights the merits and limitations of these nanoparticles as well as strategies used to overcome the limitations. The challenges and perspectives for the future development of polymer encapsulated organic nanoparticles are also discussed.

Abstract
Chalcogen bonding is the noncovalent interaction between an electron-deficient, covalently bonded chalcogen (Te, Se, S) and a Lewis base. Although substantial evidence supports the existence of chalcogen bonding in the solid state, quantitative data regarding the strengths of the interactions in the solution phase are lacking. Herein, determinations of the association constants of benzotelluradiazoles with a variety of Lewis bases (Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), NO3(-) and quinuclidine, in organic solvent) are described. The participation of the benzotelluradiazoles in chalcogen bonding interactions was probed by UV-vis, (1)H and (19)F NMR spectroscopy as well as nano-ESI mass spectrometry. Trends in the free energy of chalcogen bonds upon variation of the donor, acceptor and solvent are evident from these data, including a linear free energy relationship between chalcogen bond donor ability and calculated electrostatic potential at the tellurium center. Calculations using the dispersion-corrected B97-D3 functional were found to give good agreement with the experimental free energies of chalcogen bonding.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of proteins is crucial to biomedical research as well as clinical diagnosis. However, so far, most detection methods rely on antibody-based assays and are usually laborious and time-consuming, with poor sensitivity. Herein, we developed a simple and sensitive fluorescence-based strategy for protein detection by using split aptamer fragments and a water-soluble polycationic polymer (poly{[9,9-bis(6'-(N,N,N-diethylmethylammonium)hexyl)-2,7-fluorenylene ethynylene]-alt-co-[2,5-bis(3'-(N,N,N-diethylmethylammonium)-1'-oxapropyl)-1,4-phenylene] tetraiodide} (PFEP)). The thrombin-binding DNA aptamer was split into two fragments for target recognition. The PFEP with high fluorescence emission was used as energy donor to amplify the signal of dye-labeled DNA probe. In the absence of target, three DNA/PFEP complexes were formed via strong electrostatic interactions, resulting in efficient Föster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between two fluorophores. While the presence of target induces a conjunction of two split aptamer fragments to form G-quadruplex, and subsequent assemble with PFEP leading to the formation of G-quadruplex/thrombin/PFEP complex. The distance between the PFEP and dye increased due to protein's large size, leading to a remarkable decrease of the FRET signal. Compared with the intact aptamer, the use of shorter split aptamer fragments increases the possibility of forming G-quadruplex upon target. Thus, the rate of change of FRET signal before and after the addition of target improved significantly and a higher sensitivity (limit of detection (LOD) = 2 nM) was obtained. This strategy is superior in that it is rapid, has low cost and homogeneous detection, and does not need heating to avoid an unfavorable secondary structure of DNA probe. With further efforts, this method could be extended to a universal way for simple and sensitive detection of a variety of biomolecules.

Abstract
We prepared a water-soluble conjugated polymer composed of electron-donating units and electron-accepting groups in the backbone. The polymer exhibits a short wavelength (blue) emission in aqueous solution and long wavelength (red) emission in the solid state, because of intermolecular energy transfer. Considering this, we develop a new approach for the sensitive detection of trypsin, which is known to control pancreatic exocrine function, using an ensemble system composed of the anionically charged conjugated polymer and cationically charged polypeptides (such as polylysine and polyarginine). The blue-emitting, water-soluble conjugated polymer becomes aggregated upon exposure to the polypeptides, leading to a red-emitting assay ensemble. The red-emitting assay ensemble becomes dissociated in the conjugated polymer and polypeptide fragments by selective degradation of trypsin, which then exhibits recovery of blue emission. This emission-tuning assay ensemble allows for detection of trypsin at nanomolar concentrations, which enables naked-eye detection. Importantly, this strategy can be employed for label-free, continuous assay for trypsin.

Abstract
In this work, a novel fluorescence "turn off-on" nanosensor for the determination of heparin and heparinase based on CuInS2 quantum dots (QDs) was established. CuInS2 QDs (modified by l-cysteine) featuring amino groups were directly prepared in aqueous solution via a hydrothermal synthesis method. The amino groups on the surface of CuInS2 QDs can interact with sulfate and carboxylate groups in heparin via electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding, which led the fluorescence of CuInS2 QDs to "turn-off". However, the heparin could be hydrolyzed into small fragments in the presence of heparinase, which resulted in the fluorescence of CuInS2 QDs being recovered. Therefore, the addition of heparinase to the heparin/CuInS2 QDs system activated the fluorescence of CuInS2 QDs to "turn-on" state. Thus, the determination of heparin and heparinase could be achieved by monitoring the fluorescence "turn off-on". Under the optimum conditions, there was a good linear relationship between I/I0 (I and I0 were the fluorescence intensity of CuInS2 QDs in the presence and absence of heparin, respectively) and heparin concentration in the range of 0.05-15 μmol L(-1) with the detection limit of 12.46 nmol L(-1). The linear detection for heparinase was in the range of 0.2-5 μg mL(-1) with the detection limit of 0.07 μg mL(-1). The proposed nanosensor was employed for the detection of heparin in fetal bovine serum samples with satisfactory results.

We report a competition assay using our recently reported dye Mallard Blue, which allows us to identify synthetic heparin binders in competitive media, including human serum - using this we gain insight into the ability of PAMAM dendrimers to bind heparin, with the interesting result that low-generation G2-PAMAM is the preferred heparin binder.
