title: The detection of thrombin using a mixture of a fluorescent conjugated polyelectrolyte and fibrinogen and implementation of a logic gate.
abstract: A highly sensitive and selective detection of thrombin is accomplished using an emission color-tunable conjugated polyelectrolyte. The implementation of a combined logic gate is realized upon emission modulation of the system including the polymer, fibrinogen, thrombin, and heparin.
