论文摘要
生物相容性的纳米级探针,用于对与其(BIO)化学转化相关的顺磁性物种和分子的敏感检测,将为更好地理解细胞氧化还原过程提供理想的工具。在这里,我们描述了一种基于量子传感技术的分析工具。我们在NDS中存在磁氧化氨基(NDS)中磁性耦合带负电荷的氮气胶囊(NV)中心,并存在于NDS的生物启动聚合物涂层中。我们证明了NV中心的T1自旋松弛时间非常敏感,硝基氧化物自由基的数量每ND的分辨率下降到约10旋转(检测约为$ 10^-23 $ sol的局部体积)。该检测基于对根部附着的T1缩短,我们提出了一个描述这种现象的理论模型。我们进一步显示,这种胶体稳定的水溶性系统可以动态使用,用于在环境条件下在水性环境下在ND表面附近发生的氧化还原化学过程(氧化)的时空读数。
Biocompatible nanoscale probes for sensitive detection of paramagnetic species and molecules associated with their (bio)chemical transformations would provide a desirable tool for a better understanding of cellular redox processes. Here, we describe an analytical tool based on quantum sensing techniques. We magnetically coupled negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitroxide radicals present in a bioinert polymer coating of the NDs. We demonstrated that the T1 spin relaxation time of NV centers is very sensitive to the number of nitroxide radicals, with a resolution down to ~10 spins per ND (detection of approximately $ 10^-23 $ mol in a localized volume). The detection is based on T1 shortening upon the radical attachment and we propose a theoretical model describing this phenomenon. We further show this colloidally stable, water-soluble system can be used dynamically for spatiotemporal readout of a redox chemical process (oxidation of ascorbic acid) occurring near the ND surface in an aqueous environment under ambient conditions.
