Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), like CO and NO, is an endogenous gas signal molecule that can play a vital role in many physiological processes. Therefore, it's of great significance to study the efficient and sensitive imaging technology of H₂S in vivo. Copper is an essential trace element in the human body that is very important for many cellular functions and related metabolic processes. In this study we report the design of a peptide L (FITC-Ahx-His-Glu-Phe-His-NH₂) that can act as an “On-Off-On” fluorescent chemical sensor to detect Cu²⁺ and S²⁻, and cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) can also replace Cu²⁺ from L-Cu system. The capability of this peptide fluorescent probe to detect H₂S in HeLa cells is also evaluated.
