Cys-Tyr-(YY), targeting Cd(II) ion sensing, was synthesized on various solid supports including two resins, as well as glass and quartz surfaces. The synthesis was based on the Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) and the APTES (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) methodologies on the resin and silica supports, respectively. The immobilized ligand, except when coupled to a hydrophobic benzhydrylamine resin, showed a remarkably efficient, pHdependent Cd(II) capturing ability with a maximum binding capacity around neutral pH. The effect of contact time and metal ion concentration was also studied with a hydrophilic resin supported peptide (YY-NTG). The interaction of YY-NTG with Cd(II) was investigated by pH-potentiometric titrations in aqueous samples containing the resin beads and Cd(II). These studies, together with metal ion capturing experiments under buffer-controlled pH, prove that each immobilized peptide can bind one Cd(II) ion at pH=7.0 in the presence of one equivalent metal ion or metal ion excess. For Cd(II) binding to YY-NTG a notably high, K=1.310 10 apparent stability constant was determined (1:1 metal-to-ligand ratio, pH=7.0). Analytical results suggests that the concentration of Cd(II) can be measured below 200 nM with this silica-supported peptide. The usefulness of the probe was demonstrated by fluorescence spectroscopy.
