Histidine-triggered turning-on of gold/copper nanocluster fluorescence for the sensitive and selective detection of histidine

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Oct 1;56(78):11637-11640. doi: 10.1039/d0cc04819d.

Abstract

Histidine can trigger bimetallic gold/copper nanoclusters to turn on strong red fluoresence, which is capable of sensing nanomolar levels of histidine selectively.
