摘要
The fluorescence of the water-soluble anionic conjugated polymer, poly[lithium 5-methoxy-2-(4-sulfobutoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MBL-PPV), is quenched in dilute aqueous solution by cytochrome c, a small, naturally occurring electron-transfer protein. The large value obtained for the Stern-Volmer constant (Ksv = 3.2 × 108 at pH 7.4, and ̃109 in acidic solutions) is attributed to a combination of two factors: (1) facile ET between the luminescent semiconducting polymer and the protein and (2) the Columb attraction between the oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. This system shows significant potential for biosensor applications. Copyright © 2002 American Chemical Society.
