Abstract In this work, we explored a new approach to a simple and sensitive fluorescence detection of thiols. The approach takes advantage of an in-situ formation of UV light-induced fluorescent nanoparticles (ZnCd/S quantum dots), while utilizing the thiol group of the analyte as a capping agent. The selectivity is ensured by the selective isolation of the thiol analyte by a polydopamine molecularly imprinted polymeric (MIP) layer. Based on this approach, a method for determination of thiols was designed. Key experimental parameters were optimized, including those of molecular imprinting and of effective model thiol molecule (l-cysteine) isolation. The relationship between the fluorescence intensity of ZnCd/S quantum dots and the concentration of l-cysteine in the range of 12–150 µg/mL was linear with a detection limit of 3.6 µg/mL. The molecularly imprinted polymer showed high absorption mass capacity (1.73 mg/g) and an excellent selectivity factor for l-cysteine compared to N-acetyl-l-cysteine and l-homocysteine of 63.56 and 87.48, respectively. The proposed method was applied for l-cysteine determination in human urine with satisfactory results. Due to a high variability of molecular imprinting technology and versatility of in-situ probe formation, methods based on this approach can be easily adopted for analysis of any thiol of interest. |
