The study investigates the development of a fluorescence sensor for cholera toxin (CT) using tetraphenylethylene (TPE)-based glycoconjugates. The researchers synthesized TPE derivatives bearing lactosyl (Lac-TPE) and cellobiose (Cel-TPE) moieties through copper(I)-catalyzed "click reactions." Lac-TPE, due to its aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics, exhibited a significant increase in fluorescence upon interaction with the cholera toxin B subunit (CTB), making it a potential sensor for CT detection. In contrast, Cel-TPE did not show any response to the toxin, highlighting the specificity of the interaction. The study demonstrates that the multivalent interactions between Lac-TPE and CTB enhance the binding affinity and specificity, leading to a "turn-on" fluorescence signal. This work provides a promising platform for detecting cholera toxin and investigating carbohydrate–protein interactions.
