title: Fluorescent differentiation and quantificational detection of free tryptophan in serum within a confined metal-organic tetrahedron.
abstract: A metal-organic cerium tetrahedron having size constraints and cooperated interactions within its cavity was used to selectively recognize tryptophan over other natural amino acids and Trp-containing peptides. It was applied in quantificational detection of free tryptophan in serum.
