Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1308:342659. [PMID: 38740459 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Kanamycin is an antibiotic that can easily cause adverse side effects if used improperly. Due to the extremely low concentrations of kanamycin in food, quantitative detection of kanamycin becomes a challenge. As one of the DNA self-assembly strategies, entropy-driven strand displacement reaction (EDSDR) does not require enzymes or hairpins to participate in the reaction, which greatly reduces the instability of detection results. Therefore, it is a very beneficial attempt to construct a highly sensitive and specific fluorescence detection method based on EDSDR that can detect kanamycin easily and quickly while ensuring that the results are effective and stable. RESULTS We created an enzyme-free fluorescent aptamer sensor with high specificity and sensitivity for detecting kanamycin in milk by taking advantage of EDSDR and the high specific binding between the target and its aptamer. The specific binding can result in the release of the promoter chain, which then sets off the pre-planned EDSDR cycle. Fluorescent label modification on DNA combined with the fluorescence quenching-recovery mechanism gives the sensor impressive fluorescence response capabilities. The research results showed that within the concentration range of 0.1 nM-50 nM, there was a good relationship between the fluorescence intensity of the solution and the concentration of kanamycin. Specificity experiments and actual sample detection experiments confirmed that the biosensor could achieve highly sensitive and specific detection of trace amounts of kanamycin in food, with a detection limit of 0.053 nM (S/N = 3). SIGNIFICANCE To our knowledge, this is the first strategy to combine EDSDR with fluorescence to detect kanamycin in food. Accurate results can be obtained in as little as 90 min with no enzymes or hairpins involved in the reaction. Furthermore, our enzyme-free biosensing method is straightforward, highly sensitive, and extremely specific. It has many possible applications, including monitoring antibiotic residues and food safety.

[PMID: 38479031 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, the conventional preparation of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) has attracted much attention due to their ultra-small size, tunable fluorescence, easy-to-engineer, as well as biocompatible material. Moreover, its great affinity towards cytosine bases on single-stranded DNA has led to the construction of biosensors, especially aptamers, for a broad variety of applications in food safety and environmental protection. In past years, numerous researchers paid attention to the construction of AgNCs aptasensor. Therefore, this review will be an effort to summarize the synthetic strategy along with the influences of factors on synthesis, categorize the sensing mechanism of aptamer-functionalized AgNCs biosensors, as well as their specific applications in food safety detection including heavy metal, toxin, and foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, a brief conclusion and outlook regarding the prospects and challenges of their applications in food safety were drawn in line with the developments in DNA-AgNCs.

A sensitive fluorescence nanoplatform for monitoring benzoyl peroxide in food using carbon dots coupled with glutathione capped gold nanoparticles as FRET probe. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 294:122552. [PMID: 36863082 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.122552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Herein, a sensitive fluorescence nanoplatform for benzoyl peroxide (BPO) detection is constructed from carbon dots (CDs) and glutathione capped gold nanoparticles (GSH-AuNPs). The fluorescence of CDs is first quenched due to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect in the presence of GSH-AuNPs, and then effectively recovered when adding BPO. The detection mechanism lies in the aggregation of AuNPs in a high salt background due to oxidation of GSH caused by BPO, thus the amount of BPO is reflected by the variations of the recovered signals. The linear range and detection limit in this detection system is found to be 0.05-200 μM (R2 = 0.994) and 0.1 µg g-1 (3σ/K), respectively. Several possible interferents with high concentration show little influence on BPO detection. The proposed assay exhibits good performance for BPO determination in wheat flour and noodles, demonstrating its applicability for facile monitoring BPO additive amount in real foods.
