title: One-step prepared fluorescent copper nanoclusters for reversible pH-sensing.
abstract: A one-step synthesis of water soluble and pH-responsive trypsin-stabilized fluorescent copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) was reported without using additional protective or reducing agents, and the as-prepared CuNCs exhibited highly stable properties including oxidation resistance, thermal stability and photostability.
