Abstract
Herein, a new dual-model photoelectrochemical (PEC)/electrochemical (EC) sensor based on Z-scheme titanium dioxide (TiO2) disk/methylene blue (MB) sensibilization for the detection of kanamycin (Kana) was developed. Metal-organic framework-derived porous TiO2 disks were synthesized and exhibited excellent anodic photocurrent under visible light excitation. Subsequently, amino-labeled double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) was introduced into the modified electrode. Photocurrent was enhanced with MB embedded in dsDNA to form Z-scheme TiO2/MB sensibilization. When the target, Kana, was present, it specifically bound to the aptamer in the dsDNA, leading to the disruption of the dsDNA structure and the release of MB. This release of MB and the increase in target spatial resistance resulted in a significant weakening of PEC signal and a decreased oxidation peak current of MB. The PEC sensor successfully detected Kana in the range of 2-1000 pM with an LOD of 0.17 pM. Meanwhile, the EC sensor for Kana detection showed a linear range of 5-500 pM with an LOD of 1.8 pM. Additionally, the sensor exhibited excellent selectivity, reproducibility, stability, and good recoveries when applied to milk and honey samples. As a result, this method has the potential for application in ensuring food safety through the rapid determination of antibiotics in food.

Xie L, Fan C, Liu Y, Chen Q, Chen X. A fluorescent aptasensor for enzyme-free and sensitive detection of kanamycin based on entropy-driven strand displacement reaction. 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.

Abstract
Small molecules are significant risk factors for causing food safety issues, posing serious threats to human health. Sensitive screening for hazards is beneficial for enhancing public security. However, traditional detection methods are unable to meet the requirements for the field screening of small molecules. Therefore, it is necessary to develop applicable methods with high levels of sensitivity and specificity to identify the small molecules. Aptamers are short-chain nucleic acids that can specifically bind to small molecules. By utilizing aptamers to enhance the performance of recognition technology, it is possible to achieve high selectivity and sensitivity levels when detecting small molecules. There have been several varieties of aptamer target recognition techniques developed to improve the ability to detect small molecules in recent years. This review focuses on the principles of detection platforms, classifies the conjugating methods between small molecules and aptamers, summarizes advancements in aptamer-based conjugate recognition techniques for the detection of small molecules in food, and seeks to provide emerging powerful tools in the field of point-of-care diagnostics.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 872:162279. [PMID: 36801336 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162279] [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: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
On-site and cost-effective monitoring of antibiotic residue in water samples using a ubiquitous device that is readily available to the general public is a big challenge. Herein, we developed a portable biosensor for kanamycin (KAN) detection based on a glucometer and CRISPR-Cas12a. The aptamer-KAN interactions liberate the trigger C strand, which can initiate the hairpin assembly to produce numerous double-stranded DNA. After recognition by CRISPR-Cas12a, Cas12a can cleave the magnetic bead and invertase-modified single-stranded DNA. After magnetic separation, the invertase can convert sucrose into glucose, which can be quantified by a glucometer. The linear range of the glucometer biosensor is from 1 pM to 100 nM and the detection limit is 1 pM. The biosensor also exhibited high selectivity and the nontarget antibiotics had no significant interference with KAN detection. The sensing system is robust and can work in complex samples with excellent accuracy and reliability. The recovery values were in the range of 89-107.2 % for water samples and 86-106.5 % for milk samples. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was below 5 %. With the advantages of simple operation, low cost, and easy accessibility to the public, this portable pocket-sized sensor can realize the on-site detection of antibiotic residue in resource-limited settings.

Non-thiolated nucleic acid functionalized gold nanoparticle-based aptamer lateral flow assay for rapid detection of kanamycin. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:244.

Abstract
A novel Apt-LFA has been established for kanamycin based on non-thiolated nucleic acid-modified colloidal gold nanoprobe (AuNPs@polyA-DNA). The improvement in nucleic acid hybridization speed and efficiency was verified by modifying AuNPs with polyA-DNA strands instead of thiolated oligonucleotides (SH-DNA) strands. Moreover, the AuNPs@polyA-DNA was explored to apply in an Apt-LFA. The experimental factors including the concentration of the aptamer, the concentration of SA-DNAT conjugate, the incubation time, and temperature were carefully investigated. In addition, the kanamycin aptamer was modified by extending several bases at its end to modulate the hybridization complementary strand, which was found to significantly improve the performance of Apt-LFA. Under optimal experimental conditions, the Apt-LFA can detect kanamycin in honey with a LOD of 250 ng mL-1 by the naked eyes. A linear range of 50-1250 ng mL-1 was obtained with a LOD of 15 ng mL-1 in honey by a portable reader. The Apt-LFA was successfully applied to the detection of kanamycin in honey with recoveries of 95.1-105.2%.
