Abstract
Due to the essential role of Fe3+ in physiological and pathological processes, the detection of Fe3+ has drawn increasing attention in the field of disease diagnosis and environmental protection. However, most existing methods require either cumbersome sample pretreatment or sophisticated and expensive test equipment. Recently, carbon quantum dots have found a wide range of applications such as nanoprobes for Fe3+ determination, albeit with limited sensitivity and selectivity. Herein, we report core-shell carbon quantum dots B1N2CQDs via a two-step hydrothermal approach using citric acid, boric acid and ethylenediamine as precursors. The obtained B1N2CQDs exhibit excellent water solubility and remarkable stability as well as a high fluorescence quantum yield of 15.4%. In addition, the fluorescence of B1N2CQDs is quenched exclusively by Fe3+ with minimal interference from other metal ions. A linear relationship with R2 = 0.998 was observed between the fluorescence quenching capacity and the Fe3+ concentration in the range of 2-160 μM, with the limit of detection calculated to be 80 nM. Finally, the as-prepared B1N2CQDs were successfully applied as a highly efficient fluorescent probe for Fe3+ detection in river water samples and intracellular Fe3+ imaging in biological systems.

"Turn-off" sensing probe based on fluorescent gold nanoclusters for the sensitive detection of hemin. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 413:1639-1649. [PMID: 33483839 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-020-03126-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Balanced level of hemin in the body is fundamentally important for normal human organ function. Therefore, environmentally benign, stable, and fluorescent metal nanoclusters (NCs) for selective and sensitive detection of hemin have been investigated and reported. Herein, highly orange red emissive gold NCs are successfully synthesized using glutathione as a reducing and stabilizing agent (GSH-Au NCs). The clusters are characterized using various techniques like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectrometer. The fluorescence intensity of as-synthesized Au NCs strongly quenched upon addition of different concentrations of hemin. The decrease in fluorescence intensity of GSH-Au NCs has been applied for determination of hemin concentration in the linear range from 1 to 25 nM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.43 nM. The method was also successfully applied for quantification of hemin in human serum sample. In view of this reality, the system can be considered as a possible strategy and excellent platform for determination of hemin in various areas of application.

Abstract
Graphene and carbon quantum dots (GQDs and CQDs) are relatively new nanomaterials that have demonstrated impact in multiple different fields thanks to their unique quantum properties and excellent biocompatibility. Biosensing, analyte detection and monitoring wherein a key feature is coupled molecular recognition and signal transduction, is one such field that is being greatly advanced by the use of GQDs and CQDs. In this review, recent progress on the development of biotransducers and biosensors enabled by the creative use of GQDs and CQDs is reviewed, with special emphasis on how these materials specifically interface with biomolecules to improve overall analyte detection. This review also introduces nano-enabled biotransducers and different biosensing configurations and strategies, as well as highlights key properties of GQDs and CQDs that are pertinent to functional biotransducer design. Following relevant introductory material, the literature is surveyed with emphasis on work performed over the last 5 years. General comments and suggestions to advance the direction and potential of the field are included throughout the review. The strategic purpose is to inspire and guide future investigations into biosensor design for quality and safety, as well as serve as a primer for developing GQD- and CQD-based biosensors.

Abstract
Fabricating simple, accurate and user-friendly diagnostic device for "point of care testing" (POCT) applications is one of the most challenging objectives in the analytical field. Hemin detection is important for drugs monitoring, diagnosis, and forensic latent bloodstain imaging. Herein is developed, luminol chemiluminescence biosensor for hemin detection using artesunate as coreactant. A possible mechanism to account for the chemiluminescence reaction is discussed. Hemin was detected using both photomultiplier tube (PMT) and smartphone as detector. The detection limit for hemin using smartphone as detector is 20 nM, enabling the visual detection of hemin in blood sample with a dilution factor of blood up to 120,000. While PMT detector is used, the system is able to detect hemin down to 0.22 nM. In addition to high sensitivity, this sensing system exhibit high selectivity. It can successfully distinguish bloodstain from other stains while applying the system for point of care testing using smart phone as detector. Moreover, the system can detect artesunate with a linear range from 0.1 nM to 1.0 μM with a limit of detection of 0.078 nM.

Abstract
The binding interactions between hemin (Hmi) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) or human hemoglobin (HHb), respectively, have been examined in aqueous solution at pH=7.4, applying UV-vis absorption, as well as steady-state, synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra techniques. Representative results received for both BSA and HHb intrinsic fluorescence proceeding from the interactions with hemin suggest the formation of stacking non-covalent and non-fluorescent complexes in both the Hmi-BSA and Hmi-HHb systems, with highly possible concurrent formation of a coordinate bond between a group on the protein surface and the metal in Hmi molecule. All the values of calculated parameters, the binding, fluorescence quenching and bimolecular quenching rate constants point to the involvement of static quenching in both the systems studied. The blue shift in the synchronous fluorescence spectra imply the participation of both tryptophan and tyrosine residues in quenching of BSA and HHb intrinsic fluorescence. Depicted outcomes suggest that hemin is supposedly able to influence the physiological functions of BSA and HHb, the most important blood proteins, particularly in case of its overuse.

Abstract
We reported a sensitive and selective fluorescence “turn on–off” strategy for detection of Cu2+ and hemin, respectively. The fluorescence “turn on” sensor for Cu2+ detection had a wide linear range of 0.05–2.0 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.032 μM, and the fluorescence “turn off” sensor for hemin detection possessed a wide linear range of 0.05–4.0 μM with an LOD of 0.045 μM. The sensor for Cu2+ or hemin exhibited high selectivity over other possible substances. In addition, it was demonstrated by using various analytical characterization techniques that the fluorescence “turn on” sensor for Cu2+ was constructed on the basis of the formation of water-soluble fluorescent copper nanoclusters (CuNCs), and the fabrication of the fluorescence “turn off” sensor for hemin was predominately based on the inner filter effect of hemin on the fluorescence of the CuNCs. Finally, the proposed fluorescence “turn on–off” sensor system was successfully applied for detection of Cu2+ in lake water samples and hemin in duck blood samples. A sensitive and selective fluorescence “turn on–off” strategy for simultaneous detection of Cu2+ and hemin was proposed on the basis of the formation of fluorescent CuNCs and the inner filter effect of hemin on the fluorescence of the CuNCs.![]()

Abstract
We demonstrate carbon dot based sensor of catecholamine, namely, dopamine and ascorbic acid. Carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from a green source: commercially available Assam tea. The carbon dots prepared from tea had particle sizes of ∼0.8 nm and are fluorescent. Fluorescence of the carbon dots was found to be quenched in the presence of dopamine and ascorbic acid with greater sensitivity for dopamine. The minimum detectable limits were determined to be 33 μM and 98 μM for dopamine and ascorbic acid, respectively. The quenching constants determined from Stern-Volmer plot were determined to be 5 × 10−4 and 1 × 10−4 for dopamine and ascorbic acid, respectively. A probable mechanism of quenching has been discussed in the paper.
