We synthesized a DNA-based fluorescent sensor, tailored to the recognition and signaling for hydrophobic guest molecules. The sensor molecule is made of three functional moieties, per-O-methylated beta-cyclodextrin (per-Me-beta-CD), DNA, and pyrene as guest-binding, dimerizing, and signaling ones, respectively. Addition of a porphyrin derivative as a hydrophobic guest molecule induced emission switching of the sensor molecule from monomer to excimer due to the DNA hybridization promoted by the host-guest binding.
我们合成了一种基于DNA的荧光传感器,该传感器专为识别疏水性客体分子并发出信号而设计。传感器分子由三个功能部分组成,分别是全-O-甲基化β-环糊精(全-Me-β-CD)、DNA和芘,它们分别作为客体结合、二聚化和信号传导部分。加入卟啉衍生物作为疏水性客体分子后,由于主客体结合促进了DNA杂交,传感器分子的发射从单体转变为激基缔合物。
