Abstract

We report that a "tree-like" polymer of lysine is able to form a multi-ligand complex with a fluorescently labelled peptide, leading to the almost complete extinction of the optical signal that can be restored upon the introduction of heparin. This simple system allows, for the first time, the turn-ON fluorescent sensing of the anticoagulant in human blood at clinically relevant levels.
