Supramolecular Assembly of Acriflavine on Graphene Oxide for the Sensing of Adenosine Phosphates.

An acriflavine-graphene oxide (GAF) supramolecular assembly has been prepared from water-soluble graphene oxide (GO) and a fluorescent dye, acriflavine (AF). Upon binding this non-covalently to the GO, the fluorescence of acriflavine has been "turned off" effectively, competitive binding potential of the sensor substrates such as ATP, ADP, AMP and the pyrophosphate weakens the supramolecular assembly of GAF, which allows the release of acriflavine quantitatively, which also "turns-on" the fluorescence of the dye under UV irradiation. Interestingly, GAF displayed the highest sensitivity towards ATP within the family of adenosine phosphates.
