    Abstract:
    A novel multifunctional fluorescent peptide sensor based on pentapeptide dansyl-Gly-His-Gly-Gly-Trp-COOH (D-P5) was designed and synthesized efficiently using Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). This fluorescent peptide sensor shows selective and sensitive responses to Hg2+ and Cu2+ among 17 metal ions and six anions studied in N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethane sulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer solution. The peptide probe differentiates Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions by a 'turn-on' response to Hg2+ and a 'turn-off' response to Cu2+ . Upon addition of Hg2+ or Cu2+ ions, the sensor displayed an apparent color change that was visible under an ultraviolet lamp to the naked eye. The limits of detection (LOD) of DP-5 were 25.0 nM for Hg2+ and 85.0 nM for Cu2+ ; the detection limits for Cu2+ were much lower than the drinking water maximum contaminant levels set out by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). It is noteworthy that both D-P5-Hg and D-P5-Cu systems were also used to detect S2- successfully based on the formation of ternary complexes. The LODs of D-P5-Hg and D-P5-Cu systems for S2- were 217.0 nM and 380.0 nM, respectively. Furthermore, the binding stoichiometry, binding affinity and pH sensitivity of the probe for Hg2+ and Cu2+ were investigated. This study gives new possibilities for using a short fluorescent peptide sensor for multifunctional detection, especially for anions.
