Abstract
A novel Zn2+ ion and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) selective fluorescence turn-on sensor L was developed by reacting pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) with hydrazine. Sensor L shows significant flurescence enhancement at 476nm due to the formation of a L-Zn2+ complex in 1:1 binding stoichiometry with the association constant of 3.1⋅104M- 1. Using L, the concentration of Zn2+ can be detected down to 2.34 µM, and the practical utility of L was validated by quantifying Zn2+ in real water samples. Additionally, the receptor L was applied to mimic the dephosphorylation reaction catalysed by the enzyme ALP and the resulted fluorescence change was monitored to detect the ALP activity.
