Abstract

Vitamin B derivatives (VB6Ds) are of great importance for all living organisms to complete their physiological processes. However, their excess in the body can cause serious problems. What is more, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of different VB6Ds may present significant challenges due to the high similarity of their chemical structures. Also, the transfer of deep learning model from one task to a similar task needs to be present more in the fluorescence-based biosensor. Therefore, to address these problems, two deep learning models based on the intrinsic fingerprint of 3D fluorescence spectra have been developed to identify five VB6Ds. The accuracy ranges of a deep neural network (DNN) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) were 94.44-97.77% and 97.77-100%, respectively. After that, the developed models were transferred for quantitative analysis of the selected VB6Ds at a broad concentration range (1-100 μM). The determination coefficient () values of the test set for DNN and CNN were 93.28 and 97.01%, respectively, which also represents the outperformance of CNN over DNN. Therefore, our approach opens new avenues for qualitative and quantitative sensing of small molecules, which will enrich fields related to deep learning, analytical chemistry, and especially sensor array chemistry.
