Abstract
Fluorescent silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) displaying dual-excitation and dual-emission properties have been developed for the specific detection of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, oxidized form). With the increase of NAD+ concentrations, the longer wavelength emission (with the peak at 550 nm) was gradually quenched due to the strong interactions between the NAD+ and Ag NCs, whereas the shorter wavelength emission (peaking at 395 nm) was linearly enhanced. More important, the dual-emission intensity ratio (I395/I550), fitting by a single-exponential decay function, can efficiently detect various NAD+ levels from 100 to 4000 μM, as well as label NAD+/NADH (reduced form of NAD) ratios in the range of 1-50.
