A novel ratiometric fluorescence sensor was developed for specific recognition and sensitive determination of ascorbic acid (AA). The sensor utilized CdTeS quantum dots coated silica shell and ZnCdS quantum dots encapsulated in a three-dimensional network imprinted polymer to provide reference and response signals, achieving successful detection of AA.
Ascorbic acid (AA) is involved in many important biological processes in the body whose determination is of great value for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. We constructed a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensor for specific recognition and sensitive ratiometric determination of AA. In this sensor, CdTeS quantum dots coated silica shell (CdTeS QDs@SiO2) to act as a reference and offer a built-in correction for environmental factors. ZnCdS quantum dots were encapsulated in a three-dimensional network imprinted polymer (ZnCdS QDs@MIP) to provide response signal. The fluorescence emission of ZnCdS QDs@MIP was selectively quenched in the presence of AA, and a good linear model was fitted based on the fluorescence intensity ratios of ZnCdS QDs@MIP and CdTeS QDs@SiO2 (F-530/F-705) and the concentrations of AA in the range of 1-500 mu M with a detection limit of 0.78 mu M. The reliability of the proposed sensor in the real samples analysis was investigated through the detection of AA in vitamin C tablets and satisfactory results were obtained. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V.

Surface adsorption of adenine on pristine and B/N/O/P-doped coronene as a biosensing substrate for DNA detection- DFT study

R. Aneesh Kumar, S. Jamelah Al-Otaibi, Y. Sheena Mary, Y. Shyma Mary, Nivedita Acharjee, Renjith Thomas, Renjith Raveendran Pillai, T. L. Leena

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.
