A selective fluorescent chemosensor for phosphoserine

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: A fluorescent chemosensor for the detection of phosphoserine is reported. The ditopic sensor features a phosphate-coordinating zinc(II)-dipicolylamine (Zn(2+)-DPA) unit tethered to an amine-binding coumarin aldehyde fluorophore. With phosphoserine, the sensor demonstrates a 30-fold fluorescence enhancement under buffered aqueous conditions.
