The embedded CCA diffracts visible light, and the PCCA diffraction wavelength reports on the hydrogel volume. This boronic acid PCCA responds to species containing vicinal cis diols such as carbohydrates. This PCCA photonic crystal sensing material responds to glucose in low ionic strength aqueous solutions by swelling and red shifting its diffraction as the glucose concentration increases. The hydrogel swelling results from a Donnan potential due to formation of boronate anion; the boronic acid pKa decreases upon glucose binding. This sensing material responds to glucose and other sugars at <50 μM concentrations in low ionic strength solutions. date: 2003-03-19 date_type: published publication: Journal of the American Chemical Society volume: 125 number: 11 pagerange: 3322 - 3329 refereed: TRUE issn: 0002-7863 id_number: 10.1021/ja021037h pmid: 12630888 mesh_headings: Acrylic Resins--chemistry mesh_headings: Biosensing Techniques--methods mesh_headings: Boronic Acids--chemistry mesh_headings: Glucose--analysis mesh_headings: Hydrogels--chemistry mesh_headings: Osmolar Concentration chemical_names: Acrylic Resins chemical_names: Boronic Acids chemical_names: Hydrogels chemical_names: Glucose chemical_names: polyacrylamide chemical_names: benzeneboronic acid citation: Asher, SA and Alexeev, VL and Goponenko, AV and Sharma, AC and Lednev, IK and Wilcox, CS and Finegold, DN (2003) Photonic crystal carbohydrate sensors: Low ionic strength sugar sensing.
