Carbon dots doped with nitrogen and boron as ultrasensitive fluorescent probes for determination of α-glucosidase activity and its inhibitors in water samples and living cells
Fusobacterium nucleatum has been employed for the first time to synthesize fluorescent carbon dots which could be applied for the determination of Fe3+ ions in living cells and bioimaging in vitro and in vivo with excellent biocompatibility.
Five HClO probes were present with high selectivity and sensitivity. The properties and mechanism were investigated both experimentally and theoretically.
