Enantioselective Labeling of Zebrafish for D-Phenylalanine Based on Graphene-Based Nanoplatform.

Enantioselective labeling of important bioactive molecules in complex biological environments by artificial receptors has drawn great interest. From both the slight difference of enantiomers' physicochemical properties and inherently complexity in living organism point of view, it is still a contemporary challenge for preparing practical chiral device that could be employed in the model animal due to diverse biological interference. Herein, we introduce γ-cyclodextrin onto graphene oxide for fabricating γ-cyclodextrin and graphene oxide assemblies, which provided an efficient nanoplatform for chiral labelling of D-phenylalanine with higher chiral discrimination ratio of K/K = 8.
