Galactose oxidase is a copper-activated enzyme and have a vital role in metabolism of galactose. Much of the work is focused on determining the amount of galactose in the blood rather than measuring the amount of galactose oxidase to urge the galactosemia patients to restrict milk intake. Here, a simple and effective method was developed for Cu2+ and copper-activated enzyme detection based on homogenous alloyed CdZnTeS quantum dots (QDs). Meso− 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) was used as the reducing agent for preparing QDs and the highest quantum yield of CdZnTeS QDs was 69.4%. In addition, the as-prepared CdZnTeS QDs show superior fluorescence properties, such as good photo-/chemical stability. The DMSA was the surface ligand of the QDs, containing abundant -SH and -COOH, thus the surface ligands have a high affinity with Cu2+. Therefore, this developed probe can be applied for Cu2+ and galactose oxidase detection and shows a good sensitivity in the buffer. Then, this probe was successfully used for Cu2+ and galactose oxidase detection in real samples with the satisfactory results. The proposed fluorescence quenching strategy gives a new and simple insight for enzyme assay without the enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
