Abstract

Mixed polydiacetylene (PDA) liposomes functionalized on their surface with a fluorescent pentalysine peptide derivative and histidine in a ratio of 1:9 can identify bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Upon photopolymerization of the self-assembled liposomes the initial fluorescence of the peptide-diacetylene amphiphiles is quenched. Interaction with LPS in aqueous solution or on the surface of E. coli DH5α restores the fluorescence. This increase in fluorescence is selective for LPS relative to other negatively charged analytes including nucleotides and ctDNA. This simple turn-on fluorescent sensor allows detecting LPS even at low micromolar concentrations.
