Abstract
Sensitive and convenient sensing of urease and its inhibitors is exceptionally urgent in clinical diagnosis and new drug development. In this study, the gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and hydroxyl double salt (HDS) were composited by a simple confinement effect to prepare highly fluorescent AuNCs@HDS composites to monitor urease and its drug inhibitors. HDS was used as a matrix to confine AuNCs (AuNCs@HDS), facilitating the emission intensity of AuNCs. However, acidic conditions (low pH) can disrupt the structure of HDS to break the confinement effect, and quench the fluorescence of AuNCs. Therefore, a sensing platform for pH-related enzyme urease detection was constructed based on the sensitive response of AuNCs@HDS to pH. This sensing platform had a linear response range of 0.5-22.5 U/L and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.19 U/L for urease. Moreover, this sensing platform was also applied to monitor urease inhibitors and urease in human saliva samples. Additionally, a portable hydrogel kit combined with a smartphone was developed for urease detection to achieve portable, low-cost, instrument-free, and on-site monitoring of urease.

Abstract
The successful synthesis of La-doped CoFe LDH@rGO nanocomposite is reported combining the advantages of LDH and rGO and shows promising performances in electrochemical sensors. The structure of the obtained nanocomposite was investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), and field emission scanning electron microscope images (FE-SEM). Then, it was directly utilized to construct a carbon paste electrode (CPE) for urea detection. The electrochemical performance of the sensor was evaluated by various electrochemical methods. The La-CoFe LDH@rGO electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic properties, including a wide linear working range of 0.001-23.5 mM, very high sensitivity of 1.07 ± 0.023 µA µM-1 cm-2, a low detection limit of 0.33 ± 0.11 µM, and rapid response time of 5 s towards urea detection at the working potential of 0.4 V. Furthermore, the sensor displayed a high selectivity in different matrices, appropriate reproducibility, and long shelf life without activity loss during 3 months of storage under ambient conditions. Further tests were performed on serum and milk samples to confirm the capability of the proposed sensor for practical applications, demonstrating a reasonable recovery of 94.8 to 102% with an RSD value below 3%. Consequently, the synergistic effect of each component led to the good electrocatalytic activity of the modified electrode towards urea.

Abstract
In this work, we have studied the ability of urease immobilized on glutaraldehyde crosslinked chitosan coated magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Urease/GA/CS/MIONPs), for the hitherto unreported comparative hydrolysis of urea in synthetic (SUr) and real human urine (HUr). The prepared Urease/GA/CS/MIONPs were characterized by a combination of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission-scanning-electron-microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The nanoconstructs display the highest ammonium ion liberation post-urea hydrolysis in 1/20 or 1/24-fold dilutions of SUr and HUr, respectively. The optimum activity of immobilized urease is observed at pH 7, and the nanoconstructs facilitate efficient urea-hydrolysis till at least 45 °C. Kinetic analysis of the immobilized urease shows km and vmax of 14.81 mM, 12.36 mM, and 18.55 μM min-1 and 10.10 μM min-1, towards SUr and HUr, respectively. The magnetization of the immobilized urease is suitable for reuse across multiple cycles of urea hydrolysis in SUr and HUr. The robust performance of Urease/GA/CS/MIONPs in SUr and HUr is promising for generating ammonium as a useable source of nitrogen from human urine, and underscores the suitability of SUr as a urine mimic for such interventions.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae, a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae, is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium, mainly found in the hospital environment and medical tools. It is the leading cause of nosocomial infection, characterized by bloodstream infection, wound site infection, urinary tract infection, and sepsis, mostly in older adults, newborn infants, and immunocompromised patients. This present study demonstrated a novel diagnostic method for K. pneumoniae detection based on the gold nanozyme activity for the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2. The nanozyme activity of AuNPs with staining enhancement was statistically three times higher than that of the bare AuNPs in solid absorption at 650 nm. Nano-ELISA with staining enhancement could detect as low as 102 CFUs/mL of K. pneumoniae concentration, as the cutoff value was determined to be 0.158, which boosted the sensitivity of the immunoreactions by up to 100-fold. The detection limit of our assays was 26.023 CFUs/mL, and the limit of quantification was 78.857 CFUs/mL. There was no cross-reaction against other bacteria, which proved the immunoassays' remarkable specificity for recognizing K. pneumoniae. Taken together, we successfully developed and optimized the highly sensitive and decently specific nano-ELISA strategy that might be applicable for detecting various other bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
In the current scenario of climate change, global agricultural systems are facing remarkable challenges in order to increase production, while reducing the negative environmental impact. Nano-enabled technologies have the potential to revolutionise farming practices by increasing the efficiency of inputs and minimising losses, as well as contributing to sustainable agriculture. Two promising applications of nanotechnology in agriculture are nanobiosensors and nanoformulations (NFs). Nanobiosensors can help detect biotic and abiotic stresses in plants before they affect plant production, while NFs can make agrochemicals, more efficient and less polluting. NFs are becoming new-age materials with a wide variety of nanoparticle-based formulations such as fertilisers, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. They facilitate the site-targeted controlled delivery of agrochemicals enhancing their efficiency and reducing dosages. Smart farming aims to monitor and detect parameters related to plant health and environmental conditions in order to help sustainable agriculture. Nanobiosensors can provide real-time analytical data, including detection of nutrient levels, metabolites, pesticides, presence of pathogens, soil moisture, and temperature, aiding in precision farming practices, and optimising resource usage. In this review, we summarise recent innovative uses of NFs and nanobiosensors in agriculture that may boost crop protection and production, as well as reducing the negative environmental impact of agricultural activities. However, successful implementation of these smart technologies would require two special considerations: (i) educating farmers about appropriate use of nanotechnology, (ii) conducting field trials to ensure effectiveness under real conditions.

Abstract
A novel nanozyme of bimetallic (Ni/Co) metal-organic framework (Ni/Co-MOF) was synthesized using a simultaneous precipitation and acid etching method with a zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-67 as the template. The as-synthesized Ni/Co-MOF catalyst presented a three-dimensional hollow nanocage structure and exhibited excellent intrinsic oxidase-like activity. It was demonstrated that Ni/Co-MOF could directly catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce a blue product (oxidized TMB, oxTMB) in the absence of H2O2. The mechanisms and kinetics of this nanozyme activity were investigated, and it was determined that the catalytic activity of Ni/Co-MOF was closely related to temperature and solution pH. Owing to its strong reducibility, ascorbic acid (AA) could reduce oxTMB, and the blue color of the reaction mixture faded over time. Therefore, a novel colorimetric platform was constructed to detect AA based on the oxidase-like activity of Ni/Co-MOF. Under optimal conditions, the absorbance of ox-TMB at 652 nm decreased linearly over the 0.015-50 μM AA range with a detection limit of 0.004 μM.

Abstract
The electrochemical performance of NiCo2O4 with urea precursors was evaluated in order to develop a non-enzymatic urea sensor. In this study, NiCo2O4 nanostructures were synthesized hydrothermally at different concentrations of urea and characterized using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Nanostructures of NiCo2O4 exhibit a nanorod-like morphology and a cubic phase crystal structure. Urea can be detected with high sensitivity through NiCo2O4 nanostructures driven by urea precursors under alkaline conditions. A low limit of detection of 0.05 and an analytical range of 0.1 mM to 10 mM urea are provided. The concentration of 006 mM was determined by cyclic voltammetry. Chronoamperometry was used to determine the linear range in the range of 0.1 mM to 8 mM. Several analytical parameters were assessed, including selectivity, stability, and repeatability. NiCo2O4 nanostructures can also be used to detect urea in various biological samples in a practical manner.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate detection of toxic metal ions is the key to combating food contamination and environmental pollution. In sensor arrays, gold nanoparticles play a crucial role in monitoring metal ions based on surface plasmon resonance. However, identifying metal ions with unknown concentrations in a complex system through this assay is difficult because of its monotonous color change and weak anti-interference ability. To overcome these limitations, a sensitive, flexible, low-cost, and multicolor sensor array was designed herein. The applicability of the sensor array for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of metal ions in food and water was also verified. The developed sensor array could classify 14 metal ions (Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Cr3+, Co2+, Ba2+, K+, Tl+, Pb2+, and Hg2+) of unknown concentration with an accuracy of 100%. In addition, partial least squares models were established to quantify Tl+, Pb2+, and Hg2+ in water and rice samples, with square correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.9991, 0.9742, and 0.9731, respectively. This method can be used for accurate quantitative and qualitative analyses of heavy metal ions in water and food.

Abstract
In this work, pH-sensitive blue fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) with high fluorescence quantum yield (17.24%) were synthesized by hydrothermal method using Toona sinensis leaves and ethylenediamine (EDA) as raw materials. The CDs can detect urea with a limit of detection (LOD) of 6.700 mmol L-1. For more sensitive detection of urea, we constructed a ratiometric fluorescent probe (CDs@5-FAM) using CDs and 5-carboxyfluorescein (5-FAM). The CDs@5-FAM probe can rapidly and sensitively detect urea according to the changes of I514/I405, with LOD as low as 0.014 mmol L-1. Furthermore, with the help of a smartphone and RGB analysis software, urea's visual intelligent detection was realized using a CDs@5-FAM probe. The method proposed in this paper is consistent with the standard method, which indicates that the pH-sensitive ratiometric fluorescent probe CDs@5-FAM is accurate and reliable for practical application. It provides a new way for rapid and visual detection of urea.

Li S, Xiao L, Xiao L, Tan H. Coordination polymer nanoprobe integrated carbon dot and phenol red for turn-on fluorescence detection of urease activity. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:79. [PMID: 36719487 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-023-05644-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
The potential of coordination polymers (CPs) as a host of integrating multiple guest species to construct a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) nanoprobe was demonstrated. The ZnCPs built from zinc(II) and adenine was employed as a model of CPs to integrate carbon dot (CD) and phenol red (PR) for producing the FRET nanoprobe (CD/PR@ZnCPs). Benefiting from the confinement effect of ZnCPs, the integrated CD and PR can be brought in close proximity to favor the occurrence of FRET process from CD to PR, which leads to the quenching of CD fluorescence. However, the FRET process was disrupted upon the red-shift of PR absorption from 428 to 562 nm in alkaline medium, and consequently switches on the fluorescence of CD/PR@ZnCPs. Based on this finding, by utilizing urease to hydrolyze urea and mediate medium pH, a turn-on fluorescent method was established for the detection of urease activity. This fluorescent method has a linear response that covers 5 to 150 U/L urease with a detection limit of 0.74 U/L and exhibits an excellent selectivity over other enzymes. The successful determination of urease in saliva samples demonstrates the applicability of the fluorescent nanoprobe in complex biological matrix.

Abstract
In this work, highly fluorescent gold nanowire arrays (Au NWs) are successfully synthesized by assembling Zn2+ ions and non-emissive oligomeric gold-thiolate clusters using mercaptopropionic acid both as a reducing agent and a growth ligand. The synthesized Au NWs exhibited strong bluish green fluorescence with an absolute quantum yield up to 32% and possessed ultrasensitive pH stimuli-responsive performance in the range of 7.0-7.8. Based on the excellent properties of the as-prepared nanowire arrays, we developed a facile, sensitive, and selective fluorescent method for quantitative detection of urea and urease. The fabricated nanoprobe showed superior biosensing response characteristics with good linearities in the range of 0-100 μM for urea concentration and 0-12 U/L for urease activity. In addition, this fluorescent probe afforded relatively high sensitivity with the detection limit as low as 2.1 μM and 0.13 U/L for urea and urease, respectively. Urea in human urine and urease in human serum were detected with satisfied results, exhibiting a promising potential for biomedical application.

Abstract
As an emerging stimuli-responsive material, liquid crystal (LC) has attracted great attentions beyond display applications, especially in the area of biochemical sensors. Its high sensitivity and fast response to various biological or chemical analytes make it possible to fabricate a simple, real-time, label-free, and cost-effective LC-based detection platform. Advancements have been achieved in the development of LC-based sensors, both in fundamental research and practical applications. This paper briefly reviews the state-of-the-art research on LC sensors in the biochemical field, from basic properties of LC material to the detection mechanisms of LC sensors that are categorized into LC-solid, LC–aqueous, and LC droplet platforms. In addition, various analytes detected by LCs are presented as a proof of the application value, including metal ions, nucleic acids, proteins, glucose, and some toxic chemical substances. Furthermore, a machine-learning-assisted LC sensing platform is realized to provide a foundation for device intelligence and automatization. It is believed that a portable, convenient, and user-friendly LC-based biochemical sensing device will be achieved in the future.

Abstract
Modern society has been facing serious health-related problems including food safety, diseases and illness. Hence, it is urgent to develop analysis methods for the detection and control of food contaminants, disease biomarkers and pathogens. As the traditional instrumental methods have several disadvantages, including being time consuming, and having high cost and laborious procedures, optical nanosensors have emerged as promising alternative or complementary approaches to those traditional ones. With the advantages of simple preparation, high surface-to-volume ratio, excellent biocompatibility, and especially, unique optical properties, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been demonstrated as excellent transducers for optical sensing systems. Herein, we provide an overview of the synthesis of AuNPs and their excellent optical properties that are ideal for the development of optical nanosensors based on local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), colorimetry, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) phenomena. We also review the sensing strategies and their mechanisms, as well as summarizing the recent advances in the monitoring of food contaminants, disease biomarkers and pathogens using developed AuNP-based optical nanosensors in the past seven years (2015-now). Furthermore, trends and challenges in the application of these nanosensors in the determination of those analytes are discussed to suggest possible directions for future developments.

Abstract
In this paper, we proposed a dual-signal fluorometric and colorimetric system based on silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) for pH and urease sensing. SiQDs with fluorescence emission of 460 nm were prepared via aqueous-phase synthesis. As the pH of the system gradually increased, the absorption band of 4-NP at 400 nm increased and a color reaction from colorless to yellow occurred. The absorption of 4-NP overlapped quiet well with the fluorescence excitation spectrum of SiQDs, which can effectively quench the fluorescence of SiQDs. Therefore, the change of fluorescence and absorption intensities could be used to quantify pH value. The fluorometric and colorimetric pH-sensing systems both exhibited a linear respond to pH ranging from 6.0 to 7.8 with an interval of 0.2 pH unit. Urease could specifically hydrolyze urea to generate carbon dioxide and ammonia, causing an obvious increase of the pH value. Thus, urease could also be detected quantitatively by the above dual-signal pH sensing system. The linear ranges of the fluorometric and colorimetric methods for urease detection were both 2-40 U L-1. The limits of detection were 1.67 and 1.07 U L-1, respectively. More importantly, this established dual-signal system has been successfully exploited in the detection of urease in real samples with satisfactory recoveries. Compared with other traditional single-signal assay strategies, the results obtained by dual-signal methods are more accurate and reliable.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions (HMIs), including Cu2+, Ag+, Cd2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+ from the environment pose a threat to human beings and can cause a series of life-threatening diseases. Therefore, colorimetric sensors with convenience and flexibility for HMI discrimination are still required. To provide a solution, a peroxidase-like activity-based colorimetric sensor array of citrate-capped noble metal nanozymes (osmium, platinum, and gold) has been fabricated. Some studies reported that some HMIs could interact with the noble metal nanozymes leading to a change in their peroxidase-like activity. This phenomenon was confirmed in our work. Based on this principle, different concentrations of HMIs (Cu2+, Ag+, Cd2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+) were discriminated. Moreover, their practical application has been tested by discriminating HMIs in tap water and SiYu lake water. What is more, as an example of the validity of our method to quantify HMIs at nanomolar concentrations, the LOD of Hg2+ was presented. To sum up, our study not only demonstrates the differentiation ability of this nanozyme sensor array but also gives hints for using nanozyme sensor arrays for further applications.

Front Chem 2021; 9:773519.

Abstract
L-Histidine (L-His) is an essential amino acid, which is used to synthesize proteins and enzymes. The concentration of L-His in the body is controlled to regulate tissue growth and repair of tissues. In this study, a rapid and sensitive method was developed for colorimetric L-his detection using Cu2+ ions to inhibit the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 system. H2O2 can oxidize TMB to oxTMB in the presence of copper, and the change in color from colorless (TMB) to blue (oxTMB) is similar to that observed in the presence of peroxidase. However, because the imidazole ring and carboxyl group of L-His can coordinate with Cu2+ ions to form stable L-His-Cu2+ complexes, the color of the TMB-H2O2 solution remains unchanged after the addition of L-His. Therefore, because L-His effectively hinders the colorimetric reaction of TMB with H2O2, this assay can be used to quantitatively determine the concentration of L-His in samples. Under optimized conditions, our colorimetric sensor exhibited two linear ranges of 60 nM to 1 μM and 1 μM to 1 mM for L-His detection and a detection limit of 50 nM (S/N = 3); furthermore, the assay can be performed within 20 min. Moreover, the proposed assay was used to determine the concentration of L-His in urine samples, suggesting that this convenient and label-free colorimetric method presents promising applications in bioanalytical chemistry and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Although enzyme mimics have been widely developed, limited catalytic efficiency is still a bottleneck, especially under neutral condition. Herein, we reported the bioactive quinaldic acid (QA) significantly boosted the peroxidase-like activity of Co2+ in the presence of bicarbonate (HCO3-). With 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonate) (ABTS) as the substrate, the catalytic activity of Co2+ (1 μM) was increased by over 300 times upon adding 100 μM QA. The formed Co2+ complex had much higher turnover number (5.52 min-1) than that of cobalt-based nanozymes (0.011-0.51 min-1) in decomposing H2O2. Based on this system, ultrasensitive colorimetric methods for the detection of Co2+, bicarbonate and urease activity were achieved with limits of detection of 4.6 nM, 40 μM and 0.00125 U/mL, respectively. For the first time, this work established an ultrasensitive method for the detection of urease activity by activating a peroxidase-like mimic with the produced HCO3-.

[PMID: 34670184 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2021.109899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
In this publication an alternative approach to investigations of bacterial growth is proposed. Contrary to the conventional physical methods it is based on enzyme activity detection. The procedure for real-time and on-line monitoring of microbial ureolytic activity (applied as a model experimental biosystem) in the flow analysis format is presented. The developed fully-mechanized bioanalytical flow system is composed of solenoid micropumps and microvalves actuated by Arduino microcontroller. The photometric detection based on Nessler reaction is performed using dedicated flow-through optoelectronic detector made of paired light emitting diodes. The developed bioanalytical system allows discrete assaying of microbial urease in the wide range of activity up to 5.4 U mL-1 with detection limit below 0.44 U mL-1, a high sensitivity in the linear range of response (up to 200 mV U-1 mL and relatively high throughput (9 detection per hour). The proposed differential procedure of measurements (i.e. a difference between peaks register for sample with and without external addition of urea is treated as an analytical signal) allows elimination of interfering effects from substrate and products of biocatalysed reaction as well as other components of medium used for microbial growth. The developed bioanalytical system was successfully applied for the control of growth of urease-positive bacteria strains (Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Paracoccus yeei) including examination of effects from various microbial cultivation conditions like temperature, composition of culture medium and amount of substrate required for induction of bacterial enzymatic activity. The developed bioanalytical flow system can be applied for metabolic activity-based estimation of parameters of lag and log phases of microbial growth as well as for detection of decline phase.

Paper-based analytical device with colorimetric detection for urease activity determination in soils and evaluation of potential inhibitors. Talanta 2021; 230:122301. [PMID: 33934769 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2020] [Revised: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Urease is an enzyme associated with the degradation of urea, an important nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture. Thus, this current report describes the use of a paper-based analytical device (UrePAD) designed to contain a microzone array for colorimetric determination of urease activity in soils in the absence/presence of potential enzyme inhibitors. The UrePAD can be used at the point-of-need (point-of-care), and it offers advantages such as low cost, simplicity in handling, low sample/reagent volumes, and no use of toxic reagents. The acid-base indicator phenol red was used to monitor the urea hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by urease in the evaluated systems. The images were digitalized in a bench scanner, and the analysis was performed using Corel Draw X8 software. The device offered a LOD of 0.10 U mL-1 with linearity between 0.25 and 4.0 U mL-1 and a relative standard deviation ≤ 1.38%. UrePAD was tested in four soil samples of different characteristics and with eight urease inhibitors of varied classes. The results obtained through the proposed device did not differ statistically (95% confidence interval) from those employing the classic method based on the Berthelot reaction, thus indicating that UrePAD was effective for determining urease activity and screening inhibitors, besides showing the capacity to simplify fieldwork involving the application of urea in the soil.

Abstract
Smartphone-assisted point-of-care (POC) bioassay has brought a giant leap in personal healthcare system and environmental monitoring advancements. In this study, we developed a rapid and reliable colorimetric urea biosensor assisted by a smartphone. We employed hydrolysis of urea into NH3 by urease, which activates the reduction power of tannic acid, to generate silver nanoparticles for a dramatic colorimetric response. The proposed urea biosensor was validated in a solution to provide high selectivity against various interferents in human urine. It had high sensitivity, with a limit of detection as low as 0.0036 mM, and a high reliability of 99% ± 2.9% via the standard addition method. The urea biosensor was successfully implanted on a paper to facilitate smartphone-assisted POC readout with a limit of detection of 0.58 mM and wide detection range of 500 mM, whereby direct diagnosis of human urine without dilution was realized. Our smartphone-assisted POC colorimetric urea biosensor will pave the way for daily monitoring systems of renal and hepatic dysfunction diseases.

Abstract
AbstractRenal failure (RF) disease is ranked as one of the most prevalent diseases with severe morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis of RF leads to subsequent control of disease to reduce the poor prognosis. The level of sera creatinine is considered as a significant biomarker for kidney biofunction, which is routinely detected by the Jaffe reaction. The normal range for creatinine in the blood may be 0.84‐1.21 mg/dL. Low accuracy, insufficient sensitivity, explosive and toxicity of picric acid, and pseudo‐interaction with nonspecific elements such as ammonium ions in the Jaffe method lead to the development of various techniques for precise detection of creatinine such as spectroscopic, electrochemical, and chromatography approaches and sensors based on enzymes, molecular imprinted polymer and nanoparticles, etc. Based on previously established results, they are trying to construct sensors with high accuracy, optimum sensitivity, acceptable linear/calibration range, and limit of detection, which are small in size and applicable by the patient him/herself (point‐of‐care testing). By comparing the results of research, a molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence‐based sensor with linear/calibration range of 5‐1 mMconcentration of creatinine and the detection limit of 0.5 nM has the best detectable resolution with 2 million measurable points. In this paper, we will review the recently developed methods for measuring creatinine concentration and renal biofunction.

Abstract
In this study, a paper-based sensor combined with visual distance-readout technique for point of-care testing (POCT) of urea was developed by urease-mediated chitosan viscosity change. A series of factors that affect the performance of the sensor were investigated, including the type of filter paper, chitosan concentration, acetic acid concentration and enzymatic reaction conditions. Under optimal conditions, the proposed method for urea determination has good linearity between 3.8-15.1 mM. The limit of quantitation is 3.8 mM. Finally, the paper-based sensor was successfully applied to the determination of urea in two diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) samples. The recoveries of urea were 91.4 % and 109.9 % in DEF-1 and DEF-2, respectively. The present study provides a novel approach, which integrates paper-based sensor and visual distance-readout technique, for monitoring urea in POCT application, especially in remote or resource-limited regions.

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.

Abstract
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (At. ferrooxidans) is a bacterium that has the ability to metabolize iron. It converts Fe2+ into Fe3+ during its metabolic cycle. Hence, the At. ferrooxidans spent medium is rich in Fe3+. The presence of Fe3+ contributes to a peroxidase-like activity. Therefore, in this study, an attempt has been made to explore the peroxidase-like activity of the At. ferrooxidans spent medium. It has been observed that the At. ferrooxidans spent medium oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The effect of various process parameters on the peroxidase-like activity has been studied. Optimum peroxidase-like activity is achieved using 5 µl of the spent medium, 0.3 mM TMB concentration, 4 mM H2O2 concentration, 4.2 pH, and 40 °C temperature. The peroxidase-like activity of the At. ferrooxidans spent medium has been used to develop a colorimetric assay for detection of glutathione (GSH). GSH inhibits the peroxidase-like activity of the At. ferrooxidans spent medium in a concentration range of 0-1 mM. The limit of detection (LOD) of GSH, obtained using the calibration plot is 0.69 mM. The developed assay is selective toward GSH, as the presence of amino acids, metals, and sugars have shown a negligible effect on the GSH sensing ability.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive self-assembly of functional amphiphilic molecules by specific chemical stimulants is a promising strategy for sensor application. Herein, we demonstrate a fast optical detection of urea in human urine by exploiting bolaform perylene diimide functionalized with imidazoles (PDI-Hm), whose aggregation is induced by urea hydrolysis. The hydroxides produced from the enzymatic urea hydrolysis deprotonate the imidazoles to reduce electrostatic repulsion between PDI-Hm molecules in a HCl-methanol mixture, thereby leading to aggregation and consequent fluorescence quenching. The molecular interaction of PDI-Hm was further scrutinized to understand the aggregation behavior driven by the screening of electrical repulsion. As an optical sensing probe, PDI-Hm displays a prompt response (<1 min) to hydroxide and detection limit of 0.4 mM for urea. PDI-Hm incorporating urease offers considerable selectivity toward urea among various components in human urine. The urea sensing accuracy of this PDI-Hm fluorescence chemosensor is comparable to that of a clinical method, showing 93.4% consistency. Furthermore, the PDI-Hm was fabricated into a gel film allowed for the fast screening of excessive urea in urine.

Abstract
Attention has shifted to the development of villages in Europe and other parts of the world with the goal of combating rural–urban migration, and moving toward self-sufficiency in rural areas. This situation has birthed the smart village idea. Smart village initiatives such as those of the European Union is motivating global efforts aimed at improving the live and livelihood of rural dwellers. These initiatives are focused on improving agricultural productivity, among other things, since most of the food we eat are grown in rural areas around the world. Nevertheless, a major challenge faced by proponents of the smart village concept is how to provide a framework for the development of the term, so that this development is tailored towards sustainability. The current work examines the level of progress of climate smart agriculture, and tries to borrow from its ideals, to develop a framework for smart village development. Given the advances in technology, agricultural development that encompasses reduction of farming losses, optimization of agricultural processes for increased yield, as well as prevention, monitoring, and early detection of plant and animal diseases, has now embraced varieties of smart sensor technologies. The implication is that the studies and results generated around the concept of climate smart agriculture can be adopted in planning of villages, and transforming them into smart villages. Hence, we argue that for effective development of the smart village framework, smart agricultural techniques must be prioritized, viz-a-viz other developmental practicalities.

Abstract
A comparison of ionization efficiency for gold and silver nanoparticles used as an active media of matrix-less laser desorption/ionization (LDI) mass spectrometry (MS) methods was made for carboxylic acids including fatty acids. The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-type targets containing monoisotopic cationic 109 Ag nanoparticles (109 AgNPs) and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used for rapid MS measurements of 10 carboxylic acids of different chemical properties. Carboxylic acids were directly quantified in experiments with 10 000-fold concentration change conditions ranging from 1 mg/ml to 100 ng/ml which equates to 1 μg to 100 pg of carboxylic acids per measurement spot.

Abstract
A colorimetric assay was developed which has the capability of determining urea in biological samples. It is an origami paper-based sensor consisting of silver nanoparticles that were synthesized by using two different capping agents: thiomalic acid and maltol. The function of the assay relied on hydrolysis of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide in the presence of urease. The products interacted with nanoparticles which caused aggregation. Interestingly, thiomalic acid capped with silver nanoparticles were selective to ammonia, and the other nanoparticles synthesized by maltol responded to carbon dioxide. These interactions turned the color of nanoparticles from yellow to brown and red, respectively. The resulting colorations were captured by a floatable scanner. A routine image analysis software was utilized to provide the response of the assays. The method was applied to individually determine ammonia, carbon dioxide, and urea. The linear range was 0.06 mg.dL-1-170.0 mg.dL-1 for ammonia, 0.08 mg.dL-1-220.0 mg.dL-1 for carbon dioxide, and 0.5 mg.dL-1-200.0 mg.dL-1 for urea. The respective limits of detection were 0.03 mg.dL-1, 0.06 mg.dL-1, and 0.18 mg.dL-1. No interferences were found in the detremination of urea.

Abstract
The simultaneous detection of K+ and Tl+ can serve as a toxicological diagnostic tool for thallium poisoning. Colorimetric-reaction-based nanoprobes have emerged as promising sensors for the rapid and ultrasensitive detection of molecular species in simple systems. However, the development of viable screening tools for multicomponent analysis in complex systems remains challenging owing to interference from coexisting materials in the media. Herein, a simple chemical sensor array based on the peroxidase-like activity of gold nanoparticles modified with single-stranded DNA (AuNPs-ssDNA) and chemometrics was developed for the simultaneous detection of K+ and Tl+ in aqueous solutions and serum. The use of a K+ adapter conferred high selectivity to the developed method. Optimized AuNPs-ssDNAs were used to construct a sensor array, which together with chemometrics provided fingerprints that can facilitate the simultaneous analysis of multiple components. The developed colorimetric reaction in combination with the chemometrics assay was directly used as a biosensor array, which exhibited detection limits of 107.33 nM for K+ and 19.26 nM for Tl+. The developed method could potentially serve as a diagnostic technique for investigating thallium poisoning and toxicology.

Abstract
Currently, nitrogen fertilizers are utilized to meet 48% of the total global food demand. The demand for nitrogen fertilizers is expected to grow as global populations continue to rise. The use of nitrogen fertilizers is associated with many negative environmental impacts and is a key source of greenhouse and harmful gas emissions. In recent years, urease and nitrification inhibitors have emerged as mitigation tools that are presently utilized in agriculture to prevent nitrogen losses and reduce greenhouse and harmful gas emissions that are associated with the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers. Both classes of inhibitor work by different mechanisms and have different physiochemical properties. Consequently, each class must be evaluated on its own merits. Although there are many benefits associated with the use of these inhibitors, little is known about their potential to enter the food chain, an event that may pose challenges to food safety. This phenomenon was highlighted when the nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide was found as a residual contaminant in milk products in 2013. This comprehensive review aims to discuss the uses of inhibitor technologies in agriculture and their possible impacts on dairy product safety and quality, highlighting areas of concern with regards to the introduction of these inhibitor technologies into the dairy supply chain. Furthermore, this review discusses the benefits and challenges of inhibitor usage with a focus on EU regulations, as well as associated health concerns, chemical behavior, and analytical detection methods for these compounds within milk and environmental matrices.

Abstract
Herein, we report a method for the synthesis of 4-aminohippuric acid (4-AHA) reduced/stabilized gold nanoparticles and their peroxidase mimicking properties for the colorimetric detection of Fe3+ and Hg2+. The synthesis of nanoparticles was evidenced by appearance of bright red color and an absorption peak at 518 nm. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) characterization revealed the nanoparticles to be spherical with average size of about 5.9 ± 1.7 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis established highly crystalline nature of the nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles have shown very good peroxidase mimicking property; exhibiting the catalytic oxidation of the chromogen 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl benzidine (TMB) to a blue color product, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The peroxidase mimicking activity of the nanoparticles was found to be selectivity enhanced in the presence of Fe3+ and Hg2+ while there was no change in the activity in the presence of other concomitant ions. The mechanism studies revealed that the synthesized gold nanoparticles assisted in electron transfer during the catalytic process however the stimulation of peroxidase-like activity in the presence of Fe3+ and Hg2+ is owed to both generation of hydroxyl radical and accelerated electron transfer. The assay was made selective for iron by the addition of cysteine in acetate buffer; whereas the selective detection of mercury was achieved by carrying out the assay in citrate buffer. The linear ranges for the determination of Fe3+ and Hg2+ in deionized water were found to be: 5-50 ppb and 5-200 ppb respectively. The limits of quantification (LOQ) for Fe3+ and Hg2+ were 4.0 and 2.5 ppb respectively. The assay was applied for the determination of Fe3+ and Hg2+ in drinking and ground water samples. The method holds potential for the on-field screening of these metal ions in real environmental samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with unique physicochemical properties have received a great deal of interest in the field of biological, chemical and biomedical implementations. Despite the widespread use of AuNPs in chemical and biological sensing, catalysis, imaging and diagnosis, and more recently in therapy, no comprehensive summary has been provided to explain how AuNPs could aid in developing improved sensing and catalysts systems as well as medical settings. SCOPE OF REVIEW The chemistry of Au-based nanosystems was followed by reviewing different applications of Au nanomaterials in biological and chemical sensing, catalysis, imaging and diagnosis by a number of approaches, and finally synergistic combination therapy of different cancers. Afterwards, the clinical impacts of AuNPs, future application of AuNPs, and opportunities and challenges of AuNPs application were also discussed. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS AuNPs show exclusive colloidal stability and are considered as ideal candidates for colorimetric detection, catalysis, imaging, and photothermal transducers, because their physicochemical properties can be tuned by adjusting their structural dimensions achieved by the different manufacturing methods. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This review provides some details about using AuNPs in sensing and catalysis applications as well as promising theranostic nanoplatforms for cancer imaging and diagnosis, and sensitive, non-invasive, and synergistic methods for cancer treatment in an almost comprehensive manner.

Abstract
Because of the high catalytic activities and substrate specificity, natural enzymes have been widely used in industrial, medical, and biological fields, etc. Although promising, they often suffer from intrinsic shortcomings such as high cost, low operational stability, and difficulties of recycling. To overcome these shortcomings, researchers have been devoted to the exploration of artificial enzyme mimics for a long time. Since the discovery of ferromagnetic nanoparticles with intrinsic horseradish peroxidase-like activity in 2007, a large amount of studies on nanozymes have been constantly emerging in the next decade. Nanozymes are one kind of nanomaterials with enzymatic catalytic properties. Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes have the advantages such as low cost, high stability and durability, which have been widely used in industrial, medical, and biological fields. A thorough understanding of the possible catalytic mechanisms will contribute to the development of novel and high-efficient nanozymes, and the rational regulations of the activities of nanozymes are of great significance. In this review, we systematically introduce the classification, catalytic mechanism, activity regulation as well as recent research progress of nanozymes in the field of biosensing, environmental protection, and disease treatments, etc. in the past years. We also propose the current challenges of nanozymes as well as their future research focus. We anticipate this review may be of significance for the field to understand the properties of nanozymes and the development of novel nanomaterials with enzyme mimicking activities.
