Chymotrypsin, a crucial enzyme in human digestion, catalyzes the breakdown of milk proteins, underscoring its significance in both health diagnostics and dairy quality assurance. Addressing the critical need for rapid, cost-effective detection methods, we introduce a groundbreaking approach utilizing far-red technology and HOMO-Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Our novel probe, SQ-122 PC, features a unique molecular design that includes a squaraine dye (SQ), a peptide linker, and SQ moieties synthesized through solid-phase peptide synthesis. Demonstrating a remarkable quenching efficiency of 93.75% in a tailored H2O:DMSO (7:3) solvent system, our probe exhibits absorption and emission properties within the far-red spectrum, with an unprecedented detection limit of 0.130 nM. Importantly, our method offers unparalleled selectivity towards chymotrypsin, ensuring robust and accurate enzyme detection. This pioneering work underscores the immense potential of far-red-based homo-FRET systems in enabling the sensitive and specific detection of chymotrypsin enzyme activity. By bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and biomedical diagnostics, our findings herald a new era of enzyme sensing, promising transformative advancements in disease diagnosis and dairy quality control.

Trypsin enzyme has gained recognition as a potential biomarker in several tumors, such as colorectal, gastric, and pancreatic cancer, highlighting its importance in disease diagnosis. In response to the demand for rapid, cost-effective, and real-time detection methods, we present an innovative strategy utilizing the design and synthesis of NIR-sensitive dye–peptide conjugate (SQ-3 PC) for the sensitive and selective monitoring of trypsin activity by fluorescence ON/OFF sensing. The current research deals with the design and synthesis of three unsymmetrical squaraine dyes SQ-1, SQ-2, and SQ-3 along with a dye–peptide conjugate SQ-3-PC as a trypsin-specific probe followed by their photophysical characterizations. The absorption spectral investigation conducted on both the dye alone and its corresponding dye–peptide conjugates in water, utilizing SQ-3 and SQ-3 PC respectively, reveals enhanced dye aggregation and pronounced fluorescence quenching compared to observations in DMSO solution. The absorption spectral investigation conducted on dye only and corresponding dye–peptide conjugates in water utilizing SQ-3 and SQ-3 PC, respectively, reveals not only the enhanced dye aggregation but also pronounced fluorescence quenching compared to that observed in the DMSO solution. The trypsin-specific probe SQ-3 PC demonstrated a fluorescence quenching efficiency of 61.8% in water attributed to the combined effect of aggregation-induced quenching (AIQ) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). FRET was found to be dominant over AIQ. The trypsin-mediated hydrolysis of SQ-3 PC led to a rapid and efficient recovery of quenched fluorescence (5-fold increase in 30 minutes). Concentration-dependent changes in the fluorescence at the emission maximum of the dyes reveal that SQ-3 PC works as a trypsin enzyme-specific fluorescence biosensor with linearity up to 30 nM along with the limit of detection and limit of quantification of 1.07 nM and 3.25 nM, respectively.
