In general, detection of small biomolecules such as serotonin in real time with high spatial and temporal resolution remains challenging with conventional sensors and methods. In this work, we designed a near-infrared (nIR) fluorescent nanosensor (NIRSer) based on fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to image the release of serotonin from human blood platelets in real time. The nanosensor consists of a nonbleaching SWCNT backbone, which is fluorescent in the beneficial nIR tissue transparency window (800-1700 nm) and a serotonin binding DNA aptamer. The fluorescence of the NIRSer sensor (995 nm emission wavelength for (6,5)-SWCNTs) increases in response to serotonin by a factor up to 1.8. It detects serotonin reversibly with a dissociation constant of 301 nM ± 138 nM and a dynamic linear range in the physiologically relevant region from 100 nM to 1 μM. As a proof of principle, we detected serotonin release patterns from activated platelets on the single-cell level. Imaging of the nanosensors around and under the platelets enabled us to locate hot spots of serotonin release and quantify the time delay (≈ 21-30 s) between stimulation and release in a population of platelets, highlighting the spatiotemporal resolution of this nanosensor approach. In summary, we report a nIR fluorescent nanosensor for the neurotransmitter serotonin and show its potential for imaging of chemical communication between cells."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1021/acs.nanolett.9b02865"],["dc.identifier.pmid","31418577"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/68804"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.eissn","1530-6992"],["dc.relation.issn","1530-6984"],["dc.title","Near-Infrared Imaging of Serotonin Release from Cells with Fluorescent Nanosensors"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here, we show that de novo designed alpha-helical coiled-coil peptide barrels (αHBs) with appropriate pores encapsulate and solubilize SWCNTs. In contrast, barrels without or with narrow pores showed a much smaller efficiency. Absorption/fluorescence spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy indicate that the SWCNTs are incorporated into the αHB's pore. The resulting hybrid SWCNT@αHBs display periodic surface coverage with a 40 nm pitch and remain fluorescent in the nIR. This approach presents a novel concept to encapsulate, discriminate and functionalize SWCNTs non-covalently with peptides and holds great promise for future applications in bioimaging or drug delivery."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/chem.201800993"],["dc.identifier.pmid","29488660"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/68806"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.eissn","1521-3765"],["dc.relation.issn","0947-6539"],["dc.title","Carbon Nanotubes Encapsulated in Coiled-Coil Peptide Barrels"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
