Abstract

Equation presented A new fluorescent chemosensor for Cu²⁺ ions was synthesized by modifying the tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine (GHK) with 9-carbonylanthracene via the standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis method. While significant fluorescence quenching was observed from the molecule upon binding with Cu²⁺, addition of Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Zn²⁺ to the peptide solution caused a minimum fluorescence emission spectral change, indicating a high specificity of this chemosensor for Cu²⁺ ions. Effects of pH were also investigated.
