Abstract:

A new turn-on type of luminescence probe based on ruthenium(Ⅱ) complex, [Ru(5-CHO-phen)3]2+(5-CHO-phen=1,10-phenanthroline-5-carbaldehyde), has been designed and synthesized. The probe displayed good sensitivity and selectivity toward cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy). Enhanced luminescence intensity of this probe displays a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 5 to 35 μmol/L for Cys and Hcy. The detection limit is 0.60 μmol/L and 0.78 μmol/L for Cys and Hcy, respectively. The proposed approach provides a useful method by using luminescence probe based on ruthenoium(Ⅱ) complex for the quantitative detection of various biological molecules.
