Aggregation and Binding-Directed FRET Modulation of Conjugated Polymer Materials for Selective and Point-of-Care Monitoring of Serum Albumins

Sameer Hussain et al.

Summary: This study presents a new strategy for the precise and specific monitoring of serum albumin proteins using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-modulated conjugated polymer-surfactant ensembles. The color-tunable polymer PF-DBT-Im undergoes intense aggregation with the surfactant SDS, resulting in a drastic change in emission color. Addition of serum albumin leads to a specific change in emission signal, demonstrating the potential of this system for clinical applications.
