A novel coumarin-based fluorescent probe LY was designed and synthesized in this work. LY could selectively recognize Cu2+ via fluorescence quenching at 522 nm in a DMSO/H2O solution. The recognition process experienced minimal interference from other common cations. The binding ratio of LY to Cu2+ was found to be 1:1, while the detection limit was calculated to be 4.6 × 10- 8 M with the binding constant of 2.42 × 106 M- 1. Additionally, LY was effectively utilized for detecting Cu2+ in real water samples and with test papers, demonstrating its applicability.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
