ABS and λEx are the maximum wavelength of absorption and fluorescence excitation spectra, respectively.

pKa is determined as the pH at half-maximal fluorescence intensity calculated by fitting Hill equation to each plot.

Dynamic range indicates the ratio of the maximum to minimum fluorescence intensity (Fmax/Fmin).
