Popis: Aminopeptidase N (APN/CD13) plays an important role in the growth and metastasis, of tumor, and is a potential biomarker for the post-treatment surveillance of cancer reoccurrence and progression of various malignancies. Thus, we have designed and prepared a convenient and ultrasensitive APN-targeting activity-based ratiometric electrochemical molecular substrate (Ala-AFC) for direct real-time monitoring of APN activity in biosamples. The APN in our experiment was used to hydrolyze the alanine moiety of the Ala-AFC probe and, as a result of this hydrolysis, realize concomitantly a cascade reaction to unmask the electrochemical reporter N-alkylated amino ferrocene (AAF). The Ala-AFC probe exhibited high sensitivity with a wide detection range of 0.05-110 ng mL
