Herein, a turn-on fluorescence assay was introduced for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) detection based on ThT/G-quadruplex system. The basis of the method is that chelation of guanine bases at the binding sites by Ag⁺ blocks G-quadruplex formation and decreases the fluorescence intensity sharply. In the presence of ALP, ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) is hydrolyzed to form ascorbic acid (AA) which in turn reduces Ag⁺ to Ag⁰. As a result, the blockage ability of Ag⁺ is disrupted which augments the fluorescence intensity and relies on the concentration of ALP. Under the optimized parameters (500 nM DNA probe; 6 μM Ag⁺; 1 mM AAP; 30 min for Ag⁺ and DNA probe reaction time), fluorescence intensity correlates linear range between 1 and 100 U/L of ALP concentration with the detection limit of 0.503 U/L. In the inhibition assay, 50% of ALP inhibition is caused by Na₃VO₄ with a concentration of 0.254 mM. Furthermore, the assay was used to detect ALP activity in human serum samples in which the results were significant. Above all, the proposed strategy is potential, facile, and sensitive for analyzing ALP activity and screening ALP inhibitor.
