Quantitative analysis of modeled ATP hydrolysis in water by a colorimetric sensor array†
Abstract
Self-assembled colorimetric sensors have been prepared from ZnII–DPA-attached phenylboronic acid (1·Zn) and catechol-type dyes. The 1·Zn–dye sensors display selectivity towards oligophosphate over monophosphates. The colorimetric sensor assay (1·Zn–dye) is utilized to monitor a model of a metabolic reaction where ATP is hydrolyzed to pyrophosphate (PPi) and AMP.
