摘要
Abnormal levels of thiols in cysteine (Cys) have been shown to be associated with growth retardation, skin lesions, and neurotoxicity in humans. Herein, we designed and synthesized a rare earth upconversion luminescent (UCL) nanocomposite probe UCNP-PEG-NOF1 for the UCL detection of Cys using NOF1 developed by our group as a Cys probe. The core structure of rare earth nanoparticles can absorb light at 980 nm and convert it into visible light. The detection principle of Cys was based on the change in absorption peak before and after the reaction between NOF1 and Cys, as well as the change in UCL intensity. The rare earth nanocomposite in the probe could be excited by near-infrared light and had low background fluorescence and strong penetration ability; thus, the probe was successfully employed to specifically and sensitively detect Cys with a low background signal. Overall, the developed UCNP-PEG-NOF1 probe had good selectivity and high sensitivity for Cys; its detection limit was as low as 83 nM.
