    Abstract

    Gd4O2S:Yb:Tm rare-earth upconversion phosphors have been utilised to monitor the redox behaviour of flavin mononucleotide and report on the turnover of a flavo-protein, (pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase). The presence of two bands separated by over 300 nm in the UCP emission spectra allows ratiometric signalling of these processes with high sensitivity.
