Two new twinborn benzimidazole derivates (L and A), which bonded pyridine via the ester space on the opposite and adjacent positions of the benzene ring of benzimidazole respectively, were designed and synthesized. Compound L displayed fluorescence quenching response only towards copper(II) ions (Cu ) in acetonitrile solution with high selectivity and sensitivity. However, compound A presented 'on-off' fluorescence response towards a wide range of metal ions to different degrees and did not have selectivity. Furthermore, compound L formed a 1:1 complex with Cu and the binding constant between sensor L and Cu was high at 6.02 × 10 M . Job's plot, mass spectra, IR spectra, H-NMR titration and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated the formation of a 1:1 complex between L and Cu . Chemosensor L displayed a low limit of detection (3.05 × 10 M) and fast response time (15 s) to Cu . The Stern-Volmer analysis illustrated that the fluorescence quenching agreed with the static quenching mode. In addition, the obvious difference of L within HepG2 cells in the presence and absence of Cu indicated L had the recognition capability for Cu in living cells.

Modulation of optical properties through smart protein matrices is exemplified by a few examples in nature such as rhodopsin (absorption wavelength tuning) and the green fluorescence protein (emission), but in general, the scope found in nature for the matrix-controlled photofunctions remains rather limited. In this review, we present cyclophane-based supramolecular host-guest complexes for which electronic interactions between the cyclophane host and mostly planar aromatic guest molecules can actively modulate excited-state properties in a more advanced way involving both singlet and triplet excited states. We begin by highlighting photofunctional host-guest systems for on-off fluorescence switching and chiroptical functions using bay-functionalized perylene bisimide cyclophanes.

MINFLUX nanoscopy relies on the localization of single fluorophores with expected ~ 2 nm precision in 3D mapping, roughly one order of magnitude better than standard stimulated emission depletion microscopy or stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy. This "brilliant" technique takes advantage of specialized localization principles and algorithms that require only dim fluorescence signals with a minimum flux of photons; hence the name follows. With this level of performance, MINFLUX imaging and tracking should allow for the routine study of biological processes down to the molecular scale, revealing previously unresolved details in cell structures, such as the organization of calcium channels in muscle cells or the clustering of receptors in synapses.

The relationship between human health and patulin (PAT) in the diet is a complex and intertwined one. The development of a sensing approach for the field detection of patulin is crucial, as the current approach lacks real-time detection capabilities and is costly in terms of material and technology. This paper presents a portable ratiometric fluorescence sensor that can be used to rapidly, accurately, and efficiently detect patulin in food items at the point of origin.

() is a major pathogenic bacterium responsible for bacterial foodborne diseases, making its rapid, specific, and accurate detection crucial. In this study, we develop a ratiometric biosensor based on the recombinase polymerase amplification-clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR associated protein 12a (RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a) system and Eu-metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF) fluorescent nanomaterials for the high-sensitivity detection of , combining with RPA for efficient isothermal amplification, this sensor enhances specificity and sensitivity by utilizing the target activation of CRISPR/Cas12a. The Eu-MOF serves a dual function, providing stable red fluorescence as a reference signal and adsorbing FAM-labeled probes for fluorescence quenching, forming a dual-signal system that significantly reduces background interference.
