- Trehalase is a crucial enzyme that breaks down trehalose, a type of sugar, in various organisms.
- The study introduces new fluorometric nanoprobes using trehalose-functionalized quantum dots (QDs) to detect trehalase activity.
- When trehalose is cleaved by trehalase, the QDs form aggregates that can be measured, allowing for specific and efficient detection of the enzyme based on its concentration.
