In this work, an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) biosensor was established based on G-quadruplex/N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (G4/NMM) and p-nitrophenol (PNP). Because the absorption of PNP was close to the excitation wavelength of G4/NMM, PNP could reduce the fluorescence of G4/NMM. Meanwhile, PNP was the hydrolysis product of p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNPP) by ALP. Therefore, ALP could be detected. This ALP biosensor had a linear analytical range from 2.5 to 25 U/L a the detection limit of 0.81 U/L. Moreover, it showed a satisfactory selectivity and recovery rates.
