A fluorometric method is described for the determination of the activity of the enzyme T4 polynucleotide kinase phosphatase (T4 PNKP). A short 3'-terminus phosphorylated DNA strand is hybridized with a long DNA strand to produce a partially doublestranded DNA (dsDNA) substrate. On addition of T4 PNKP, the substrate is dephosphorylated to generate the long dsDNA, and then the long dsDNA acted as a template for synthesizing copper nanoclusters (CuNCs). The dsDNA-templated CuNCs display fluorescence with excitation/emission peak wavelengths of 340/570 nm. The fluorescence is DNA sequence-dependent. A DNA substrate was designed to enhance fluorescence and to reduce the background in order to improve the sensitivity of the assay. The assay has an analytical range that extends from 0.07 U mL(-1) to 15 U mL(-1) and a detection limit of 0.06 U mL(-1).A fluorometric method is described for the determination of the activity of the enzyme T4 polynucleotide kinase phosphatase (T4 PNKP).
