The design of devices with multiple functions, simple handling procedures and sufficient sensitivity has drawn great interests in the field of analysis. Metal-nucleotide based pairs, such as T-Hg(2+)-T and C-Ag(+)-C complexes accompanied by SYBR Green I (SG), are used to selectively bind duplex-strand DNA by observing a bright fluorescence signal in this work, thus yielding a simple method for the rapid detection of Hg(2+) and Ag(+) without a complex labeling process. Based on this principle, 'OR' and 'AND' logic gates for the multiplexed analysis of Hg(2+) and Ag(+) were developed, and their practical application for the detection of Hg(2+) and Ag(+) in drinking water was reported.

Construction of single probes for simultaneous detection of common trivalent metal ions has attracted much attention due to higher efficiency in analysis and cost. A naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe K1 was synthesized for selective detection of Al, Cr and Fe ions. Fluorescence emission intensity at 534 nm of probe K1 in DMSO/HO (9:1, v/v) was significantly enhanced upon addition of Al, Cr and Fe ions while addition of other metal ions (Li, Na, K, Ag, Cu, Fe, Zn, Co, Ni, Mn, Sr, Hg, Ca, Mg, Ce, Bi and Au) did not bring about substantial change in fluorescence emission.

Cytosine-rich and poly(adenine)-tailed tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF) is designed as template (A-TDF) for anchoring silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) and igniting the dual-color fluorescence of AgNCs. The resultant DNA-AgNCs simultaneously emits red and green fluorescence, and the quantum yield of red fluorescence is as high as 44.8%.

Herein, we report a naturally occurring flavonol, quercetagetin 5,6,7,3',4'-pentamethyl ether (known as marionol), as a nontoxic fluorescent probe for rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of Cu in water. The interaction between marionol and Cu ions is studied by various state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques such as H NMR, UV-vis, fluorescence, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Marionol shows strong fluorescence quenching in the presence of Cu, whereas other interfering cations such as Fe, Co, Al, Pb, Hg, Zn, Mg, Mn, Ca, Cu, Ag, Na, and K produce negligible changes in fluorescence.

Metal ion pollution poses a global concern due to its significant risks to both human health and environmental well-being. The toxicity of these ions can increase when they coexist, interacting with each other and with other harmful substances, even at low concentrations. Therefore, an accurate, rapid, and cost-effective methodology is urgently needed for the simultaneous quantification of multiple metal ions.

Article Synopsis
- - Tetragonia tetragonioides, a salt-tolerant plant from New Zealand, is studied for its carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme activity and isoforms found in its leaves, which help regulate carbon levels in plants.
- - Using a method called protonography, five isoforms of CA with different molecular weights were identified, revealing significant enzymatic activity levels and the ability to assess their function separately.
- - The study examined how certain sulfonamide inhibitors and heavy metal ions affect CA activity, finding that silver and mercury ions were particularly potent inhibitors, affecting the plant's leaf protein activity at very low concentrations.
