Abstract
Trypsin, a pancreatic enzyme associated with diseases like pancreatic cancer and cystic fibrosis, requires effective diagnostic tools. Current detection systems seldom utilize macrocyclic molecules and tetraphenyl ethylene (TPE) derivative-based supramolecular assemblies, known for their biocompatibility and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, for trypsin detection. This study presents an enzyme-responsive, AIE-based fluorescence 'Turn-On' sensing platform for trypsin detection, employing sulfated-β-cyclodextrin (S-βCD), an imidazolium derivative of TPE (TPE-IM), and protamine sulfate (PrS). The anionic S-βCD and cationic TPE-IM formed a strongly fluorescent supramolecular aggregation complex in an aqueous buffer. However, PrS suppresses fluorescence because of its strong binding affinity with S-βCD. The non-fluorescent TPE-IM/S-βCD/PrS supramolecular assembly system exhibits trypsin-responsive properties, as PrS is a known trypsin substrate. Trypsin restores fluorescence in the TPE-IM/S-βCD system through the enzymatic cleavage of PrS, correlating linearly with trypsin catalytic activity in the 0-10 nM concentration range. The limit of detection is 10 pM. This work contributes to the development of self-assembled supramolecular biosensors using charged TPE derivatives and β-cyclodextrin-based host-guest chemistry, offering an innovative fluorescence 'Turn-On' trypsin sensing platform. The sensing system is highly stable under various conditions, selective for trypsin, and demonstrates potential for biological analysis and disease diagnosis in human serum. Additionally, it shows promise for the screening of trypsin inhibitors.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), one of the biological anions, plays a crucial role in several biological processes including energy transduction, cellular respiration, enzyme catalysis and signaling. ATP is a bioactive phosphate molecule, recognized as an important extracellular signaling agent. Apart from serving as a universal energy currency for various cellular events, ATP is also considered a factor responsible for numerous physiological activities. It regulates cellular metabolism by breaking phosphoanhydride bonds. Several diseases have been reported widely based on the levels and behavior of ATP. The variation of ATP concentration usually causes a foreseeable impact on mitochondrial physiological function. Mitochondrial dysfunction is responsible for the occurrence of many severe diseases such as angiocardiopathy, malignant tumors and Parkinson's disease. Therefore, there is high demand for developing a sensitive, fast-responsive, nontoxic and versatile detection platform for the detection of ATP. To this end, considerable efforts have been employed by several research groups throughout the world to develop specific and sensitive detection platforms to recognize ATP. Although a repertoire of optical chemosensors (both colorimetric and fluorescent) for ATP has been developed, many of them are not arrayed appropriately. Therefore, in this present review, we focused on the design and sensing strategy of some chemosensors including metal-free, metal-based, sequential sensors, aptamer-based sensors, nanoparticle-based sensors etc. for ATP recognition via diverse binding mechanisms.

Abstract
The HIV-Ι trans-activation responsive (TAR) RNA-trans-activator of transcription (Tat) protein complex is crucial for the efficient transcription of the integrated human immunodeficiency virus-I genome and is an established therapeutic target for AIDS diagnosis and treatment. Developing a sensitive strategy for the TAR RNA-binding ligand assay could provide antiviral leads with a radically new mechanism for the treatment of AIDS. Herein, a new TAR RNA-binding ligand assay platform was established using a signal amplification strategy that combines aggregation-induced emission (AIE) with a metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) concept. The tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative was labeled on the Tat peptide as a fluorescent molecule, while the TAR RNA was immobilized on the surface of the Fe3O4@Au@Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) to specifically bind the TPE-Tat peptide. The TPE-Tat peptide was weakly emissive itself while emitting strongly in the NP-TAR-TPE-Tat complex by the AIE and MEF signal amplification effect. It was confirmed by known Tat peptide competitors that this system could be applied to the screening and detection of TAR RNA-binding ligands because they could replace the TPE-Tat peptide from the complex and make the system fluorescence decrease. When this system was adopted to test four candidate ligands, it was found that bisantrene had a favorable TAR RNA-binding ability. The proposed AIE-MEF strategy not only provides a sensitive and reliable method for the TAR RNA-binding ligand assay but also can avoid the influence of ligands on fluorescent detection in the conventional displacement assay.

Abstract
The combination of supramolecular chemistry and aggregation-induced emission-based luminogens (AIEgens) has recently attracted tremendous attention because of its ability to offer large emission enhancement even in substantially dilute solutions. In this work, a new aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based supramolecular assembly has been reported, which consists of a polyanionic cyclodextrin derivative and a tetracationic tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative. Ionic cyclodextrins have attracted significant attention in host-guest supramolecular chemistry and pharmaceutical industry. However, ionic derivatives of β-cyclodextrins have not been explored to establish noncovalent interactions-based aggregation assembly of the most popular class of AIEgens, i.e., tetraphenylethylene derivatives. The current report demonstrates AIE of a tetracationic methyl pyridinium derivative of tetraphenylethylene (TPy-TPE) induced by a polyanionic sulfated β-cyclodextrin (S-βCD). The AIE-based supramolecular assembly has been thoroughly investigated using steady-state fluorescence, ground-state absorbance, and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. Further, the response of the supramolecular assembly towards external stimuli, such as, ionic strength, pH, and temperature, has been investigated. In addition, the complexation behavior of the TPE derivative has also been compared with the native neutral β-cyclodextrin derivative, which delineates the important role of the negatively charged portal of S-βCD in inducing aggregation of the TPy-TPE. The stoichiometry of the complex has been found to be 3:1 for TPy-TPE:S-βCD, using Job's plot analysis. Finally, to get insights into the underlying interactions between the supramolecular assembly components, molecular docking calculations have been performed.

Abstract
A simple Schiff-base fluorescent chemosensor (1) was synthesized by the reaction of 3-amino-pyrazine-2-carbohydrazide and 7-diethylamino-3-formylcoumarin; the sensor 1 displayed a notable green emission at 524 nm in DMSO and an aggregation-induced ratiometric emission (AIRE) at 555 nm in an almost buffered aqueous media (0.5% DMSO content). The AIRE of 1 was quenched following binding to Zn2+ ions, while the fluorescence emission in the far-red region was evidently enhanced at 628 nm. Notably, the ratiometric signal output could be utilized to specifically distinguish Zn2+ among various metal ions. Moreover, the 1-Zn2+ complex was effectively employed as a fluorescent ratiometric chemosensor for pyrophosphate (PPi) detection. The detection limit was 3.52 μM and 2.45 μM for Zn2+ and PPi, respectively. The binding mechanism was evaluated by 1H NMR, ESI-MS, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, TEM, time-resolved fluorescence spectrophotometry, and density functional theory studies. Overall, owing to its sensitive fluorescence behavior, cell imaging studies demonstrated that this sensor is capable of sensing Zn2+ and PPi in living cells.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of fluorogenic dyes offers many opportunities as smart materials, fluorescence sensing of analytes, bioimaging, molecular electronics, and many others. AIE dyes (called AIEgens) produce emission through aggregation, which are more advantageous than conventional emission of monomeric fluorophores, as the latter is unduly susceptible toward various quenching processes. Here, we report AIE enhancement of a polyanionic sulfonato-tetraphenylethylene (SuTPE) derivative, achieved through supramolecularly assisted dye aggregation, as SuTPE interacts with a multicationic amino-β-cyclodextrin (AβCD) host. Aggregation of the dye is induced mainly because of strong electrostatic interaction of SuTPE with AβCD, causing a significant extent of charge neutralization for the polyanionic dyes, helping their assemblage at the multicationic host portal. Job's plot studies suggest preferential formation of 2:1 dye-to-host stoichiometric complexes in the present system. Ionic-strength-dependent studies nicely support the involvement of electrostatic interaction in the present system through salt-induced disintegration of the SuTPE-AβCD complexes. The AIE enhancement for the SuTPE-AβCD system is very sensitive to the external stimuli, such as pH and temperature, suggesting its prospects in various stimuli-responsive applications. Furthermore, the SuTPE-AβCD system can suitably quantify an important bioanalyte, ATP, following a competitive binding strategy, suggesting its potential application as a supramolecular biosensor.

Abstract
The change in the color of chromophore upon being embedded in a biological tissue is known as metachromasia. Basic Orange 21 (BO21) is a cationic polymethine dye that has been implied as a supravital dye, which produces metachromasia in leukocytes. An improved differential counting of leukocytes has been achieved in the clinical setup based on characteristic metachromatic expressions of BO21 for different types of leukocytes. Although BO21 has been utilized as a chromatic indicator for leukocyte counting, there are limited number of investigations that focus on the factors that may be responsible for the spectral shift in absorption and emission spectra of BO21, which leads to its metachromatic behavior. In this work, we have investigated the effect of a synthetic anionic polyelectrolyte, polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), on the photophysical properties of BO21, using steady-state emission, ground-state absorption, and time-resolved emission measurements, to get an understanding of the factors that may be responsible for the spectral shift of BO21 in the cellular environment. PSS induces aggregation of BO21 molecules with large changes in its photophysical properties; this appears to be most likely the mechanism of spectral shift for BO21 reported in the cellular environment. The employment of external stimulus reveals BO21 aggregates to be significantly responsive toward external stimuli, for example, temperature and presence of salt in the medium, which further strengthens the proposal of aggregate formation. Further, we have also employed fluorescence upconversion spectroscopy with subpicosecond time resolution to estimate the excited-state lifetime of BO21.

Abstract
Control of fluorescent molecular assemblies is an exciting area of research with large potential for various important applications, such as, fluorescence sensing/probing, cell imaging and monitoring drug-delivery. In the present contribution, we have demonstrated control on the extent of aggregation of a dye-polyelectrolyte assembly using a macrocyclic host molecule, sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD). Initially, a cationic molecular rotor based organic dye, Auramine-O (AuO), undergoes aggregation in the presence of an anionic polyelectrolyte, polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), and displays a broad intense new emission band along with large variation in its absorption features and excited-state lifetime. A manipulation of the monomer-aggregate equilibrium of the dye-polyelectrolyte assembly has been achieved by introducing a cyclodextrin based supramolecular host, SBE-β-CD, which leads to relocation of AuO molecules from polyelectrolyte (PSS) to supramolecular host cavity, owing to the formation of a host-guest complex between AuO and SBE-β-CD. A reversible control on this manipulation of monomer-aggregate equilibrium is further achieved by introducing a competitive guest for the host cavity i. e., 1-Adamantanol. Thus, we have demonstrated an interesting control on the dye-polyelectrolyte aggregate assembly using a supramolecular host molecule which open up exciting possibilities to construct responsive materials using a repertoire of various host-specific guest molecules.
