Next-generation spectroscopic probe for alpha-amylase detection: Development of a potential biomarker for cancer
A novel spectroscopic probe based on a barbituric acid-starch (ST-BA) derivative is synthesized and used to assess the alpha-amylase activity. This derivative and its precursors are characterized by UV–Visible, fluorescence, FTIR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Luminescent ST-BA core contains a double bond conjugated to pyrimidine ring carbonyl groups, yielding a notable UV–Visible absorption and fluorescence emission. Enzymatic ST-BA cleavage reveals a kinetics slower than for pristine starch, inducing new supramolecular structures with an enhanced fluorescence quantum yield. Force field minimization also supports the contribution of intra and intermolecular interactions to ST-BA oligomer rigidification, a singularity in agreement with aggregation-induced emission. However, the decrease of UV–Visible signal reveals the chromophore competition for the photon after oligomer self-assembly. The linear spectroscopic responses support to ST-BA as a successful enzymatic activity sensor. Although these findings emphasize the ST-BA potential for qualitative enzyme analysis, further experimental condition studies are essential for accurate quantification.
期刊介绍:
Reactive & Functional Polymers provides a forum to disseminate original ideas, concepts and developments in the science and technology of polymers with functional groups, which impart specific chemical reactivity or physical, chemical, structural, biological, and pharmacological functionality. The scope covers organic polymers, acting for instance as reagents, catalysts, templates, ion-exchangers, selective sorbents, chelating or antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, sensors, membranes, and hydrogels. This also includes reactive cross-linkable prepolymers and high-performance thermosetting polymers, natural or degradable polymers, conducting polymers, and porous polymers.
Original research articles must contain thorough molecular and material characterization data on synthesis of the above polymers in combination with their applications. Applications include but are not limited to catalysis, water or effluent treatment, separations and recovery, electronics and information storage, energy conversion, encapsulation, or adhesion.
