example 1

[0033] Add 0.6 mL of 0.5 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution and 0.4 mL of 0.02 g / L chloroauric acid solution to 4 mL of 0.08 mol / L N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​solution Mix well and place in a constant temperature water bath at 37°C for 2.5 hours. After the reaction, the reaction solution was purified with a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 3500. The obtained gold nanocluster solution is colorless under visible light, and produces strong red fluorescence under ultraviolet light irradiation. Stored in the dark at 4°C, it can remain relatively stable for at least one month.

example 2

[0035] Add 0.05 mL of 22 U / L urease solution (pH=6.0) to 0.2 mL of 1 mol / L urea solution (pH=6.0), mix well and react in a constant temperature water bath at 25°C 40 min. Add 0.2 mL of the gold nanocluster solution prepared in Example 1 to the above solution, and react in a constant temperature water bath at 25°C for 3 min. Set a group of blank control group without urease. After the reaction, observe under ultraviolet light, the blank control group shows red fluorescence ( figure 1 A), and the red fluorescence of gold nanoclusters added with 22 U / L urease is quenched ( figure 1 In B). figure 2 The fluorescence emission spectra of the gold nanocluster solution of the blank control group and the urease group.

example 3

[0037] Add 0.05 mL of 22 U / L urease solution (pH=6.0) to 0.2 mL of different concentrations of urea solution (pH=6.0), mix well and react in a constant temperature water bath at 25°C for 40 min. Add 0.2 mL of the gold nanocluster solution prepared in Example 1 to the above solution, react in a constant temperature water bath at 25°C for 3 minutes, and measure the emitted light intensity F 650 . by image 3 It can be seen that when the urea concentration is 1mol / L, the fluorescence quenching value ΔF 650 to reach maximum.

Abstract

The invention discloses a urease activity fluorescence determination method based on a gold nano cluster. The method is characterized by comprising the steps of catalyzing urea to generate ammonium and carbon dioxide by utilizing the specificity of urease, wherein the newly generated ammonium can increase the pH value of a system, so that the fluorescence of the gold nano cluster protected by N-acetyl-L-cysteine is extinguished, the variation of fluorescence emission spectrum characteristics can be reflected, and the method can be used for determining the activity of the urease. F650 is in a linear relation with the concentration value of the urease in the range of 2.2 to 44U / L, and the detection limit is 0.55U / L. The urease activity fluorescence determination method is high in sensitivity, good in reproducibility and applicable to the determination of helicobacter pylori.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for measuring urease activity using N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​protected gold nanoclusters as fluorescent probes, and belongs to the field of analytical chemistry and nanotechnology. Background technique [0002] Urease is a nickel-containing oligomerase that can efficiently and specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of urea to carbon dioxide and ammonia. Medically, bacterial urease is a pathogenic factor that cannot be ignored. It can induce many diseases, such as pyelonephritis, hepatic coma, peptic ulcer and infectious urinary tract stones. In agriculture, when the soil urease activity is too high, the urea in the fertilizer is quickly decomposed to produce ammonia, which is discharged into the atmosphere, causing economic losses and environmental pollution. In addition, soy products such as soy milk, milk substitutes, etc., if they contain urease, it is harmful to the human body and can cause symptoms such as diarrhea. Theref...
