ABSTRACT
Heparin is a highly negatively charged sulfated linear polymer glycosaminoglycan that has been widely used as an anticoagulant in medicine. Protamine is a cationic protein rich in arginine that is used to treat the blood-brain barrier during excess heparin surgery. Trypsin is the most important digestive enzyme-encoding generated by the pancreas and can specifically cleave the carboxyl ends of arginine and lysine residues. Heparin, protamine, and trypsin interact and constrain each other, and their fluctuations reflect the body's dysfunction. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fast, sensitive, and highly selective assay for regularly monitoring the levels of heparin, protamine, and trypsin in serum. Herein, a fluorescent and colorimetric dual-mode upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) biosensor was used for the determination of heparin, protamine, and trypsin based on the oxidase-mimicking activity of Ce4+ and electrostatic control. The biosensor exhibited sensitive detection of heparin, protamine, and trypsin with low limits of detection (LODs) of 16 ng/mL, 87 ng/mL and 31 ng/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the designed biosensor could eliminate autofluorescence, which not only effectively increased the accuracy of the sensor but also provided a new sensing pathway for the detection of differently charged biotargets.
