Abstract
Nanozymes are a class of nanomaterials with biocatalytic function and enzyme-like activity, whose advantages include high stability, low cost, and mass production. They can catalyze the substrates of natural enzymes based on specific nanostructures and serve as substitutes for natural enzymes. Their applied research involves a wide range of fields such as biomedicine, environmental governance, agriculture, and food. Molecular logic gates are a new cross-disciplinary discipline, which can simulate the function of silicon circuits on a molecular scale, perform single or multiple input logic operations, and generate logic outputs. A molecular logic gate is a binary operation that converts an input signal into an output signal according to the rules of Boolean logic, generating two signals, a high level, and a low level. The high and low levels represent the "true" and "false" values of the logic gates, and their outputs correspond to "l" and "0" of the molecular logic gates, respectively. The combination of nanozymes and logic gates is a novel and attractive research direction, and the cross-application of the two brings new opportunities and ideas for various fields, such as the construction of efficient biocomputers, intelligent drug delivery systems, and the precise diagnosis of diseases. This review describes the application of logic gates based on nanozymes, which is expected to provide a certain theoretical foundation for researchers' subsequent studies.

Xu J, Zhang Y, Zhu X, Ling G, Zhang P. Two-mode sensing strategies based on tunable cobalt metal organic framework active sites to detect Hg 2. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133424. [PMID: 38185088 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
Heavy metal pollution poses a major threat to human health, and developing a user-deliverable heavy metal detection strategy remains a major challenge. In this work, two-mode Hg2+ sensing platforms based on the tunable cobalt metal-organic framework (Co-MOF) active site strategy are constructed, including a colorimetric, and an electrochemical assay using a personal glucose meter (PGM) as the terminal device. Specifically, thymine (T), a single, adaptable nucleotide, is chosen to replace typical T-rich DNA aptamers. The catalytic sites of Co-MOF are tuned competitively by the specific binding of T-Hg2+-T, and different signal output platforms are developed based on the different enzyme-like activities of Co-MOF. DFT calculations are utilized to analyze the interaction mechanism between T and Co-MOF with defect structure. Notably, the two-mode sensing platforms exhibit outstanding detection performance, with LOD values as low as 0.5 nM (colorimetric) and 3.69 nM (PGM), respectively, superior to recently reported nanozyme-based Hg2+ sensors. In real samples of tap water and lake water, this approach demonstrates an effective recovery rate and outstanding selectivity. Surprisingly, the method is potentially versatile and, by exchanging out T-Hg2+-T, can also detect Ag+. This simple, portable, and user-friendly Hg2+ detection approach shows plenty of promise for application in the future.

Development and analysis of a universal label-free micro/nano component for three-channel detection of silver ions, mercury ions, and tetracycline. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1276:341606. [PMID: 37573104 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341606] [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: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023]
Abstract
In this paper, an enzyme-free and label-free fluorescent nanomodule is proposed for rapid, simple and sensitive detection of Ag+, Hg2+ and tetracycline (TC). The strategy is cleverly designed to enable multiple-purpose detection with as little as 31 nt of ssDNA. Both the embedded dye SYBR Green I and the nanomaterial graphene oxide (GO) are able to distinguish single-stranded DNA from double-stranded DNA; thus, the combination of the two instead of using traditional molecular beacon (MB)-labeled fluorophores and quencher groups can effectively reduce the cost of experiments while efficiently reducing the background noise. Performance testing experiments confirmed the stability and selectivity of the platform; the limits of detection (LODs) of Ag+ and Hg2+ were 1.41 nM and 1.79 nM, respectively, and the detection range were within the WHO standards. In addition, only some base sequences in the flexible functional domain of the nanoloop needed to be programmed to build a universal platform, which was feasible using TC as a target. Therefore, the designed nanomodule has the potential to detect various types of targets, such as antibiotics, proteins, and target genes, and has broad application prospects in environmental monitoring, food testing, and disease diagnosis.

[PMID: 35064303 PMCID: PMC8888390 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-03900-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Revised: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
An enzymatic-colorimetric method has been developed based on the reaction between l-phenylalanine (l-Phe) and the l-amino acid oxidase (LAAO) in the presence of Au(III), which has led to the formation of gold nanoparticles. The intensity of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band of the generated nanoparticles (550 nm) can be related to the concentration of l-Phe in the sample. The mechanism of the LAAO-l-Phe enzyme reaction in the presence of Au(III) has been studied through the evaluation and optimization of experimental conditions. These studies have reinforced the hypothesis that the catalytic center of the enzyme helps the Au(III) reduction and, thanks to the protein, the Au0 form is stabilized as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In the calibration study, a sigmoidal relationship between the concentration of the substrate and the LSPR of the nanoparticles was observed. The linearization of the signal has allowed the determination of l-Phe in the range from 17 to 500 µM with an RSD% (150 μM) of 4.8% (n = 3). The method is free of other amino acid interference normally found in blood plasma. These highly competitive results open the possibility of further development of a rapid method for l-Phe determination based on colorimetry.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Environmental pollutants are threat to human beings. Pollutants can lead to human health and environment hazards. The purpose of this review is to summarize the work done on detection of environmental pollutants using DNA nanosensors and challenges in the areas that can be focused for safe environment. RECENT FINDINGS Most of the DNA-based nanosensors designed so far use DNA as recognition element. ssDNA, dsDNA, complementary mismatched DNA, aptamers, and G-quadruplex DNA are commonly used as probes in nanosensors. More and more DNA sequences are being designed that can specifically detect various pollutants even simultaneously in complex milk, wastewater, soil, blood, tap water, river, and pond water samples. The feasibility of direct detection, ease of designing, and analysis makes DNA nanosensors fit for future point-of-care applications. SUMMARY DNA nanosensors are easy to design and have good sensitivity. DNA component and nanomaterials can be designed in a controlled manner to detect various environmental pollutants. This review identifies the recent advances in DNA nanosensor designing and opportunities available to design nanosensors for unexplored pathogens, antibiotics, pesticides, GMO, heavy metals, and other toxic pollutant.

Abstract
In this paper, it has been demonstrated that Au(III) is able to act instead of O2 in the oxidase enzymatic reaction, so that it becomes reduced to purple gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The plasmon band (at 540 nm) can be used as the analytical signal. Tyramine has been determined using its enzymatic reaction with tyramine oxidase (TAO). The kinetic of the AuNP formation has been studied in the light of both the Avrami equation for crystallization and the Finke-Watsy mechanism for AuNP nucleation and growth. The effects of the Au(III), TAO and tyramine concentrations on the corresponding kinetic constants have been investigated. Working at room temperature, under optimal conditions (phosphate buffer pH 7.0, TAO 0.5 U.mL-1 Au(III) 1 mM), the linear response ranges from 2.5 × 10-5 M to 3.3 × 10-4 M Tyramine (5.6% RSD) and the LOD is 2.9 × 10-6 M. Under these conditions, the signal is measured after 30 min reaction (to obtain the highest sensitivity), but this time can be significantly reduced by increasing the temperature (the reaction is finished after 4 min when working at 50 °C). The method has been applied to tyramine determination in a cheese sample with good results. The new scheme proposed in this paper can be extended, in principle, to other enzymatic methods based on oxidase enzymes. Graphical abstractTyramine is determined by measuring the plasmon band of the gold nanoparticles formed during its enzymatic reaction with Tyramine oxidase. Moreover, a mathematical model has been developed to explain the formation of the gold nanoparticles during the reaction.
