To fabricate a novel biomimetic fluorescent chemosensor, PSaAEMA-<i>co</i>-PMPC was synthesized <i>via</i> atom transfer radical polymerization, and this copolymer could be used for the detection of zinc(ii) and cell imaging. A series tests with various metal ions verified the specific fluorescence response behavior. This novel biomimetic fluorescent chemosensor exhibits excellent selectivity for Zn<sup>2+</sup> ions over a wide range of tested metal ions in an aqueous solution. Moreover, cytoto ...[more]
