title: "Turn-on" fluorescent sensor array for basic amino acids in water.
abstract: Amino acids and their derivatives are recognized and analyzed in water using a turn-on fluorescent cucurbituril based sensor array. Multivariate analysis (LDA and HCA) clearly shows that the sensor array can discriminate amino acids from the corresponding amines which are produced by the action of amino acid decarboxylases.
