Abstract
The inappropriate employment of antibiotics across diverse industries has engendered profound apprehensions concerning their cumulative presence within human bodies and food commodities. Consequently, many nations have instituted stringent measures limiting the admissible quantities of antibiotics in food items. Nonetheless, conventional techniques employed for antibiotic detection prove protracted and laborious, prompting a dire necessity for facile, expeditious, and uncomplicated detection methodologies. In this regard, aptamer-based fluorescent DNA biosensors (AFBs) have emerged as a sanguine panacea to surmount the limitations of traditional detection modalities. These ingenious biosensors harness the binding prowess of aptamers, singular strands of DNA/RNA, to selectively adhere to specific target antibiotics. Notably, the AFBs demonstrate unparalleled selectivity, affinity, and sensitivity in detecting antibiotics. This comprehensive review meticulously expounds upon the strides achieved in AFBs for antibiotic detection, particularly emphasizing the labeling modality and the innovative free-label approach. It also elucidates the design principles behind a diverse array of AFBs. Additionally, a succinct survey of signal amplification strategies deployed within these biosensors is provided. The central objective of this review is to apprise researchers from diverse disciplines of the contemporary trends in AFBs for antibiotic detection. By doing so, it aspires to instigate a concerted endeavor toward the development of heightened sensitivity and pioneering AFBs, thereby contributing to the perpetual advancement of antibiotic detection methodologies.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 303:123146. [PMID: 37523850 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDN) were prepared by microwave hydrothermal method using ammonium citrate (AC) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as precursor. It was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The CDN was found to catalyze the reduction of HAuCl4 to produce gold nanoparticles (AuNP), among which fructose was an effective reducing agent. Using malachite green (MG) as a molecular probe, the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) intensity at 1617 cm-1 and the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) intensity at 375 nm increased linearly with increasing CDN concentration, respectively. The catalytic activity of CDN is inhibited because the aptamer (Apt) can be adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst CDN. The aptamer (Apt)-Pb2+ reaction and CDN-Apt adsorbing reaction were competitive reaction. When there is Pb2+ that binds more tightly to Apt, Apt is desorbed, and the catalytic ability of CDN is restored. Accordingly, an Apt-mediated nanocatalytic amplification SERS/RRS platform for quantitative detection of lead ions was constructed. For the SERS method, the linear range was 0.5-120 nmol/L with DL of 0.11 nmol/L. For the RRS method, the Pb2+ concentration was linear in the range of 50-400 nmol/L with the RRS intensity, and the DL was 15.32 nmol/L. The analysis platform uses CDN catalyzed nanoreactions to generate AuNP products with SERS activity as a substrate, thus overcoming the shortcomings of Pb2+ without scattering activity, and realizing the possibility of SERS and RRS detection of metal ions. It was used for the determination of Pb2+ in real samples with relative standard deviations were 0.94-2.71 % and recovery was 99.00-103.70 %, respectively. In addition, the mechanism of CDN nanoenzyme heterogeneous catalysis of nano-gold reactions was discussed.

Abstract
Small molecular food contaminants, such as mycotoxins, pesticide residues and antibiotics, are highly probable to be passively introduced in food at all stages of its processing, including planting, harvest, production, transportation and storage. Owing to the high risks caused by the unknowing intake and accumulation in human, there is an urgent need to develop rapid, sensitive and efficient methods to monitor them. Fluorescence-based aptasensors provide a promising platform for this area owing to its simple operation, high sensitivity, wide application range and economical practicability. In this paper, the common sorts of small molecular contaminants in foods, namely mycotoxins, pesticides, antibiotics, etc, are briefly introduced. Then, we make a comprehensive review, from fluorescence resonance energy transfer (in turn-on, turn-off, and ratiometric mode, as well as energy upconversion) to fluorescence polarization, of the fluorescence-based aptasensors for the determination of these food contaminants reported in the last five years. The principle of signal generation, the advances of each sort of fluorescent aptasensors, as well as their applications are introduced in detail. Additionally, we also discussed the challenges and perspectives of the fluorescent aptasensors for small molecular food contaminants. This work will offer systematic overview and inspiration for amateurs, researchers and developers of fluorescence-based aptasensors for the detection of small molecules.

Abstract
Both G-quadruplex (G4) and G-triplex (G3) can bind thioflavin T (ThT) to light up the fluorescence of ThT. G4/ThT and G3/ThT can be used as fluorescent indicators to construct a label-free molecular beacon (MB). In this work, we present a comparative perspective of G3/ThT-based MB and G4/ThT-based MB. The results showed that the G3/ThT-based MB had higher sensitivity and faster response speed than the G4/ThT-based MB. Furthermore, we systematically studied the effect of stem length and varying pairs on the response of the G3/ThT-based MB, and then proposed one rational design of the G3/ThT-based MB. This work demonstrates that the shorter G3 is more suitable for constructing the MB stem. This present work opens a promising way to develop a sensitive, simple and homogeneous biosensing method.

Abstract
Sensitive and selective methods for the determination of urea in samples such as dairy products are important for quality control and health applications. Using ammonium ferric citrate as a precursor, Fe/N-codoped carbon dots (CDFeN) were prepared by a hydrothermal procedure and characterized in detail. CDFeN strongly catalyzes the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2 to turn on an indicator molecular reaction, forming an oxidized tetramethylbenzidine (TMBox) probe with surface-enhanced Raman scattering, resonance Rayleigh scattering, and fluorescence (SERS, RRS, and FL) signals at 1,598 cm−1, 370 nm, and 405 nm, respectively. The urea aptamer (Apt) can turn off the indicator reaction to reduce the tri-signals, and the addition of urea turns on the indicator reaction to linearly enhance the SERS/RRS/FL intensity. Thus, a novel Apt turn-on tri-mode method was developed for the assay determination of ultra-trace urea with high sensitivity, good selectivity, and accuracy. Trace adenosine triphosphate and estradiol can also be determined by the Apt-CDFeN catalytic analytical platform.
