A Remarkable Fluorescence Quenching Based Amplification in ATP Detection through Signal Transduction in Self-Assembled Multivalent Aggregates

Signal transduction is essential for the survival of living organisms, because it allows them to respond to the changes in external environments. In artificial systems, signal transduction has been exploited for the highly sensitive detection of analytes. Herein, a remarkable signal transduction, upon ATP binding, in the multivalent fibrillar nanoaggregates of anthracene conjugated imidazolium receptors is reported. The aggregates of one particular amphiphilic receptor sensed ATP in high pm concentrations with one ATP molecule essentially quenching the emission of thousands of receptors. A cooperative merging of the multivalent binding and signal transduction led to this superquenching and translated to an outstanding enhancement of more than a millionfold in the sensitivity of ATP detection by the nanoaggregates; in comparison to the “molecular” imidazolium receptors. Furthermore, an exceptional selectivity to ATP over other nucleotides was demonstrated.

2-Anthrylmethoxyacetic acid, a new chiral anisotropic reagent for elucidating the absolute configuration of acyclic alcohols
