It has been found that Tb3+ can react with guanosine-5-triphosphate (GTP) and o-phenanthroline (phen), resulting in the intrinsic fluorescence of Tb3+. This fluorescence can be enhanced by adding La3+, Gd3+, Lu3+, Sc3+, Y3+, and so on, among which Gd3+ produces the greatest enhancement. These are new co-luminescence systems. The experiments indicate under optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity of the Tb-Gd-GTP-phen system is proportional to the concentration of GTP over the range 1×10–9 to 3×10–5 mol/l. The detection limit is 3.1×10–10 mol/l. The proposed method provides the most sensitive fluorimetry of GTP so far. The mechanism of the Tb-Gd-GTP-phen system has also been studied. The data indicates that there is a large congeries of Tb-Gd-GTP-phen, and the fluorescence enhancement of the Tb-Gd-GTP-phen system is considered to originate from intramolecular and intermocular energy transfers, and the energy-insulating sheath of the Gd complex.
