Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase is an important biomarker for medical diagnosis. An enzymatic fluorescence supramolecular hydrogel with AIE properties was developed and used for sensing alkaline phosphatase in vitro and in living cells. In the presence of ALP, K(TPE)EFYp was partially converted to the hydrogelator K(TPE)EFY and self-assembled into nanofibers to form Hydrogel. With the sol–gel transition and the AIE effect, the fluorescence emission was turned on. The linear concentration range of ALP activity in vitro quantified by this method was determined as 0–3 U/L with aLODat 0.02 U/L. In addition, cell imaging and serum experiment showed that K(TPE)EFYp could also be used to detect ALP activity in living cells and biological samples.
