Turn-on fluorescent aptasensing for the determination of serotonin via target-induced knot displacement at corona

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 May 2;60(37):4926-4929. doi: 10.1039/d4cc00934g.

Abstract

A turn-on fluorescence aptasensing approach for the highly sensitive and selective determination of 5-HT was proposed via target-induced knot displacement. 5-HT can be determined in a range from 0.5 nM to 100 nM with a limit of detection as low as 0.1 nM and a low dissociation constant of 2.3 nM.
