摘要

A sensitive, stable and stereoselective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor has been designed to enantioselectively discriminate proline enantiomers by immobilizing Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)-gold nanoparticles (Ru-AuNPs) and beta-cyclodextrin-reduced graphene oxide (beta-CD-rGO) on glassy carbon electrode. More Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) could be immobilized on the surface of electrode stably via preparing Ru-AuNPs and better stereoselectivity could be introduced to the sensor via the synthesis of beta-CD-rGO. When the developed sensor interacted with proline enantiomers, obvious difference of ECL intensities towards L- and D-proline was observed, and a larger intensity was obtained from D-proline. As a result, ECL technique might act as a promising method to chiral recognition of amino acids enantiomers or chiral drugs.
