Fluorescent/laser dual-channel ATP sensors based on flavins†
Abstract
The fluorescence biomolecules flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and lumiflavin were demonstrated as ATP sensors for the first time. FMN and lumiflavin are totally compatible with the human body and can be easily obtained at low cost. The laser and fluorescence of FMN and lumiflavin in aqueous solution can efficiently discriminate ATP from other common anion such as Cl−, Br−, I−, SO42−, NO3− and PPi.
