    Author: Liu S, Pang S, Na W, Su X.
    Journal: Biosens Bioelectron; 2014 May 15; 55():249-54. PubMed ID: 24388906.
    Abstract:
    Water-soluble CuInS2 quantum dots (QDs) were directly synthesized in an aqueous solution with mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) as stabilizers, and were functionalized using tryptophan molecules to form tryptophan-functionalized CuInS2 QDs (W-CuInS2 QDs) that had a strong fluorescence emission around 689 nm. The fluorescence of W-CuInS2 QDs could be quenched by Cu(2+) and then the addition of pyrophosphate (PPi) could effectively turn on the quenched fluorescence due to the strong interaction between Cu(2+) and PPi. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) could catalyze the hydrolysis of PPi that would disassemble the complex of PPi-Cu(2+)-PPi. Therefore, the recovered fluorescence could be quenched again by the addition of ALP. In this paper, we developed a novel near-infrared fluorescence probe for the simple and convenient assay of ALP.
