description | The content of selenocysteine in cells has an important effect on a variety of human diseases, and the detection of selenocysteine by fluorescent sensors in vivo has shown many advantages. In order to further develop fast-reaction-time, good-selectivity, and high-sensitivity long-wavelength selenocysteine fluorescent sensors, we designed and synthesized the compound <b>YZ-A4</b> as a turn-on fluorescent sensor to detect the content of selenocysteine. The quantitative detection range of the sensor <b>YZ-A4</b> to selenocysteine was from 0 to 32 μM, and the detection limit was as low as 11.2 nM. The sensor displayed a rapid turn-on response, good selectivity, and high sensitivity to selenocysteine. Finally, we have demonstrated that <b>YZ-A4</b> could be used for fluorescence imaging of selenocysteine in living cells. |
