Construction of Thermo-Responsive Elastin-Like Polypeptides (ELPs)-Aggregation-Induced-Emission (AIE) Conjugates for Temperature Sensing.


ABSTRACT: In this work, an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecule (tetraphenylethene derivative, TPE-COOH) was conjugated to elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs40) via an amide bond to form ELPs40-TPE. The successful synthesis of ELPs40-TPE was confirmed by Circular Dichroism spectroscopy, gel electrophoresis, UV-vis absorption, and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. ELPs40-TPE possessed both amphiphilicity and the features of an AIE, and the fluorescence intensity was dependent on the local temperature. The Hela cells imaging indicated that ELPs40-TPE has great potential for bio-imaging applications because of its advantages of high fluorescence intensity, good water-solubility, and remarkable biocompatibility.
