Abstract
We report the detection of homocysteine over cysteine based upon characteristic differences between 5- and 6-membered heterocyclic amines formed upon reaction with aldehyde-bearing compounds. Homocysteine-derived thiazinane-4-carboxylic acids are more basic than cysteine-derived thiazolidines-4-carboxylic acids. Fluorescence enhancement in response to homocysteine is achieved by tuning pH and excitation wavelength.Entities:
