Abstract
Among the 19 common chiral amino acids, three are classified as basic amino acids: histidine, arginine, and lysine, which not only play different biological functions in vivo, but also have significant value in the pharmaceutical field. It is worth noting that the L- and D-enantiomers of the same amino acids exhibit obviously different biological functions and pharmaceutical activities. Therefore, the selective recognition and analysis of basic amino acids, including chemoselective recognition and enantioselective recognition, are of great significance. Fluorescent probes have been widely used in biological and medical fields due to their excellent properties such as simplicity, real-time monitoring ability and multiple signal modes. In the past decade, significant research progress has been achieved in fluorescent probes for the selective recognition of amino acids. This paper reviews the research progress of chemoselective and enantioselective fluorescent probes for the three basic amino acids, summarizes and analyzes the probe molecular structures and recognition mechanisms, and proposes the key scientific issues and research directions to afford conducive references in the applications of fluorescent recognition of basic amino acids.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
