Article Synopsis
  • A new water-soluble coronene bisimide derivative (CTDI) was synthesized and can self-assemble into nanofibers in water.
  • These nanofibers display significant peroxidase-like catalytic activity, allowing them to facilitate the redox reaction of a specific substrate (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, leading to visible color changes.
  • The developed assay is highly sensitive for detecting glucose, capable of identifying concentrations as low as 1 μM, and has been successfully tested on diluted human blood samples alongside a commercial glucose meter.

A benzoperylene probe excimer emission in an aqueous buffer solution is observed for the first time, and a novel ratiometric fluorescence method based on the probe excimer emission for the sensitive detection of heparin and heparinase is demonstrated. A negatively charged benzoperylene derivative, 6-(benzo[ghi]perylene-1,2-dicarboxylic imide-yl)hexanoic acid (BPDI), was employed. A polycation, poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride (poly-DDA), could induce aggregation of BPDI through noncovalent interactions.

A real-time fluorescence turn-on strategy for protease activity and inhibitor screening has been developed. A negatively charged benzo[ghi]perylene derivative (probe 1) was employed. Protamine is a cationic protein which can induce aggregation of probe 1 via strong electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.
