Abstract
Researchers have worked for many decades to master the rules of biomolecular design that would allow artificial biopolymer complexes to self-assemble and function similarly to the diverse biochemical constructs displayed in natural biological systems. The rules of nucleic acid assembly (dominated by Watson-Crick base-pairing) have been less difficult to understand and manipulate than the more complicated rules of protein folding. Therefore, nucleic acid nanotechnology has advanced more quickly than de novo protein design, and recent years have seen amazing progress in DNA and RNA design. By combining structural motifs with aptamers that act as affinity handles and add powerful molecular recognition capabilities, nucleic acid-based self-assemblies represent a diverse toolbox for use by bioengineers to create molecules with potentially revolutionary biological activities. In this review, we focus on the development of self-assembling nucleic acid nanostructures that are functionalized with nucleic acid aptamers and their great potential in wide ranging application areas.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP (eATP) is an important biological signal transduction molecule. Although a variety of detection methods have been extensively used in ATP sensing and analysis, accurate detection of eATP remains difficult due to its extremely low concentration and spatiotemporal distribution. Here, an eATP measurement strategy based on tetrahedral DNA (T-DNA)-modified electrode sensing platform and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) combined with G-quadruplex/Hemin (G4/Hemin) DNAzyme dual signal amplification is proposed. In this strategy, ATP aptamer and RNA-cleaving DNAzyme were combined to form a split aptazyme. In the presence of ATP, this aptazyme hydrolyzes the cleaving substrate strand with high selectivity, releasing cleaved ssDNA, which are captured by the T-DNA assembled on the electrode surface, triggering an HCR on the electrode surface to form numerous linker sequences of the HCR dsDNA product. When G-quadruplex@AuNPs (G4) spherical nucleic acid enzymes (SNAzymes) with other linkers are used as nanocatalyst tags, they are captured by HCR dsDNA through sticky linkers present on the electrode surface. An amplified electrochemical redox current signal is generated through SNAzyme-mediated catalysis of H2O2, enabling easy detection of picomole amounts of ATP. Using this strategy, eATP levels released by tobacco suspension cells were accurately measured and the distribution and concentration of eATP released on the surface of an Arabidopsis leaf was determined.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a central metabolite that plays an indispensable role in various cellular processes, from energy supply to cell-to-cell signaling. Nature has developed sophisticated strategies to use the energy stored in ATP for many metabolic and non-equilibrium processes, and to sense and bind ATP for biological signaling. The variations in the ATP concentrations from one organelle to another, from extracellular to intracellular environments, and from normal cells to cancer cells are one motivation for designing ATP-triggered and ATP-fueled systems and materials, because they show great potential for applications in biological systems by using ATP as a trigger or chemical fuel. Over the last decade, ATP has been emerging as an attractive co-assembling component for man-made stimuli-responsive as well as for fuel-driven active systems and materials. Herein, current advances and emerging concepts for ATP-triggered and ATP-fueled self-assemblies and materials are discussed, shedding light on applications and highlighting future developments. By bringing together concepts of different domains, that is from supramolecular chemistry to DNA nanoscience, from equilibrium to non-equilibrium self-assembly, and from fundamental sciences to applications, the aim is to cross-fertilize current approaches with the ultimate aim to bring synthetic ATP-dependent systems closer to living systems.

Abstract
Detection of aberrant ATP concentrations with high sensitivity and selectivity is of critical importance for monitoring many biological processes and disease stages. By coupling extension/excision amplification with target recycling, we have established an aptamer-based method for label-free fluorescence ATP detection in human serum with high sensitivity. The ATP target molecules associate with the aptamer-containing double hairpin probes and cause conformational changes of the probes to initiate the cyclic strand extension/excision processes in the presence of polymerase, endonuclease and assistance sequences for the recycling of ATP and the production of a large number of G-quadruplex sequences. The organic dye thioflavin T subsequently binds these G-quadruplex sequences to yield substantially enhanced fluorescence emission for achieving highly sensitive detection of ATP down to 2.2 nM in the range of 5 to 200 nM without using any labels. The developed aptamer sensing method also exhibits high selectivity and allows the monitoring of ATP at low concentrations in diluted real samples, which offers promising opportunities to establish effective signal magnification means for the detection of various biomolecules at trace levels.

Novel strategy to improve the sensing performances of split ATP aptamer based fluorescent indicator displacement assay through enhanced molecular recognition. Biosens Bioelectron 2019; 134:36-41.

Abstract
Split aptamer strategy was often used to improve the sensitivity of aptasensor. However, traditional split aptamer strategy can not be directly used to improve the label-free aptamer based Thioflavin T (ThT) displacement assay for ATP because the split ATP aptamer display much lower enhancement effects on the fluorescence of ThT than intact aptamer. In order to address this issue, this is the first report using G-rich DNA sequence to enhance the affinity of the two split ATP aptamer halves to ThT and offer lower limit of detection (LOD), wider linear range and higher selectivity through the enhanced molecular recognition. Compared to the intact aptamer/ThT complex, the ensemble of two G-rich split ATP aptamer fragments/ThT are higher fluorescent. Consequently, G-rich sequences would improve the fluorescent signal and thus the sensing performance of the proposed assay. In the optimized conditions, the LOD of the proposed fluorescent ATP aptasensor is 2 nM, which is lower than the reported ThT/ATP aptamer based methods. Additionally, our aptasensor has a wider dynamic linear range (0.1 μM - 120 μM) and higher selectivity. The proposed aptasensor has been successfully applied to detect ATP in 15% human serum. More importantly, the current study not only provides a novel method for ATP assay but also presents a way to construct a label-free split aptamer based fluorescent sensor for other species where aptamer can be generated.

Abstract
Aptamers are single stranded DNA or RNA ligands which can be selected for different targets from proteins to small organic dyes. In the past few years great progress has been accomplished in the development of aptamer based bioanalytical assays with different detection techniques. Among them, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensors are very promising because they have the advantages of both electrochemical and chemiluminescence biosensors, such as high sensitivity, low background, cost effectiveness, and ease of control. In this review, we summarize the recent efforts to construct novel and improved ECL aptasensors and their application.

Abstract
DNA encodes the genetic information; recently, it has also become a key player in material science. Given the specific Watson-Crick base-pairing interactions between only four types of nucleotides, well-designed DNA self-assembly can be programmable and predictable. Stem-loops, sticky ends, Holliday junctions, DNA tiles, and lattices are typical motifs for forming DNA-based structures. The oligonucleotides experience thermal annealing in a near-neutral buffer containing a divalent cation (usually Mg2+ ) to produce a variety of DNA nanostructures. These structures not only show beautiful landscape, but can also be endowed with multifaceted functionalities. This Review begins with the fundamental characterization and evolutionary trajectory of DNA-based artificial structures, but concentrates on their biomedical applications. The coverage spans from controlled drug delivery to high therapeutic profile and accurate diagnosis. A variety of DNA-based materials, including aptamers, hydrogels, origamis, and tetrahedrons, are widely utilized in different biomedical fields. In addition, to achieve better performance and functionality, material hybridization is widely witnessed, and DNA nanostructure modification is also discussed. Although there are impressive advances and high expectations, the development of DNA-based structures/technologies is still hindered by several commonly recognized challenges, such as nuclease instability, lack of pharmacokinetics data, and relatively high synthesis cost.

Abstract
Nucleic acids have been actively exploited to develop various exquisite nanostructures due to their unparalleled programmability. Especially, framework nucleic acids (FNAs) with tailorable functionality and precise addressability hold great promise for biomedical applications. In this review, we summarize recent progress of FNA-enabled biosensing in homogeneous solutions, on heterogeneous surfaces, and inside cells. We describe the strategies to translate the structural order and rigidity of FNAs to interfacial engineering with high controllability, and approaches to realize multiplexing for highly parallel in vitro detection. We also envision the marriage of the currently available FNA tool sets with other emerging technologies to develop a new generation of biosensors for precision diagnosis and bioimaging.

Abstract
Abstract
Biosensors are a type of important biodevice that integrate biological recognition elements, such as enzyme, antibody and DNA, and physical or chemical transducers, which have revolutionized clinical diagnosis especially under the context of point-of-care tests. Since the performance of a biosensor depends largely on the bio–solid interface, design and engineering of the interface play a pivotal role in developing quality biosensors. Along this line, a number of strategies have been developed to improve the homogeneity of the interface or the precision in regulating the interactions between biomolecules and the interface. Especially, intense efforts have been devoted to controlling the surface chemistry, orientation of immobilization, molecular conformation and packing density of surface-confined biomolecular probes (proteins and nucleic acids). By finely tuning these surface properties, through either gene manipulation or self-assembly, one may reduce the heterogeneity of self-assembled monolayers, increase the accessibility of target molecules and decrease the binding energy barrier to realize high sensitivity and specificity. In this review, we summarize recent progress in interfacial engineering of biosensors with particular focus on the use of protein and DNA nanostructures. These biomacromolecular nanostructures with atomistic precision lead to highly regulated interfacial assemblies at the nanoscale. We further describe the potential use of the high-performance biosensors for precision diagnostics.

Abstract
The difference of electrostatic interaction between free Ru(phen)32+ and Ru(phen)32+ embedded in double strand DNA (dsDNA) to the negatively charged indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode has been applied to develop a homogeneous and label-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for the first time. Ochratoxin A (OTA) has been chosen as the model target. The OTA aptamer is first hybridized with its complementary single strand DNA (ssDNA) to form dsDNA and then interacted with Ru(phen)32+ via the grooves binding mode to form dsDNA-Ru(phen)32+ complex, which remains negatively charged feature as well as low diffusion capacity to the negatively charged ITO electrode surface owing to the electrostatic repulsion. Meanwhile, the intercalated Ru(phen)32+ in the grooves of dsDNA works as an ECL signal reporter instead of the labor-intensive labeling steps and can generate much more ECL signal than that from the labeling probe. In the presence of target, the aptamer prefers to form an aptamer-target complex in lieu of dsDNA, which induces the releasing of Ru(phen)32+ from the dsDNA-Ru(phen)32+ complex into the solution. With the assistance of RecJf exonuclease (a ssDNA specific exonuclease), the released ssDNA and the aptamer in the target-complex were digested into mononucleotides. In the meantime, the target can be also liberated from OTA-aptamer complex and induce target cycling and large amount of free Ru(phen)32+ present in the solution. Since Ru(phen)32+ contains positive charges, which can diffuses easily to the ITO electrode surface because of electrostatic attraction, causing an obviously enhanced ECL signal detected. Under the optimal conditions, the enhanced ECL of the system has a linear relationship with the OTA concentration in the range of 0.01-1.0 ng/mL with a detection limit of 2 pg/mL. This innovative system not only expands the immobilization-free sensors in the electrochemiluminescent fields, but also can be developed for the detection of different targets easily with the same strategy by changing the aptamer used.

Abstract
A novel DNA tetrahedron-structured electrochemiluminescence (ECL) platform for bioanalysis with programmable DNA cyclic amplification was developed. In this work, glucose oxidase (GOD) was labeled to a DNA sequence (S) as functional conjugation (GOD-S), which could hybridize with other DNA sequences (L and P) to form GOD-S:L:P probe. In the presence of target DNA and a help DNA (A), the programmable DNA cyclic amplification was activated and released GOD-S via toehold-mediated strand displacement. Then, the obtained GOD-S was further immobilized on the DNA tetrahedral scaffolds with a pendant capture DNA and Ru(bpy)32+-conjugated silica nanoparticles (RuSi NPs) decorated on the electrode surface. Thus, the amount of GOD-S assembled on the electrode surface depended on the concentration of target DNA and GOD could catalyze glucose to generate H2O2 in situ. The ECL signal of Ru(bpy)32+-TPrA system was quenched by the presence of H2O2. By integrating the programmable DNA cyclic amplification and in situ generating H2O2 as Ru(bpy)32+ ECL quencher, a sensitive DNA tetrahedron-structured ECL sensing platform was proposed for DNA detection. Under optimized conditions, this biosensor showed a wide linear range from 100 aM to 10 pM with a detection limit of 40 aM, indicating a promising application in DNA analysis. Furthermore, by labeling GOD to different recognition elements, the proposed strategy could be used for the detection of various targets. Thus, this programmable cascade amplification strategy not only retains the high selectivity and good capturing efficiency of tetrahedral-decorated electrode surface but also provides potential applications in the construction of ECL biosensor.

Abstract
Programmed molecular recognition is being developed for the bionanofabrication of mixed organic/inorganic supramolecular assemblies for applications in electronics, photonics, and medicine. For example, DNA-based nanotechnology seeks to exploit the easily programmed complementary base-pairing of DNA to direct assembly of complex, designed nanostructures. Optimal solution conditions for bionanofabrication, mimicking those of biological systems, may involve high concentrations of biomacromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, etc.) and significant concentrations of various ions (Mg2+, Na+, Cl-, etc.). Given a desire to assemble diverse inorganic components (metallic nanoparticles, quantum dots, carbon nanostructures, etc.), it will be increasingly difficult to find solution conditions simultaneously compatible with all components. Frequently, the use of chemical surfactants is undesirable, leaving a need for the development of alternative strategies. Herein, we discuss the use of artificial, diblock polypeptides in the role of solution compatibilizing agents for molecular assembly. We describe the use of two distinct diblock polypeptides with affinity for DNA in the stabilization of DNA origami and DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles (spheres and rods) in solution, protection of DNA from enzymatic degradation, as well as two 3D tetrahedral DNA origamis. We present initial data showing that the diblock polypeptides promote the formation in the solution of desired organic/inorganic assemblies.

Abstract
The importance of developing new diagnostic and detection technologies for the growing number of sensing challenges is rising each year. Here, we present a comprehensive and concise review on electrochemiluminescent (ECL) aptasensors by putting special emphasis on its characteristic features, advances, challenges, and applications of ECL based aptasensors. ECL is an ideal tool for constructing such sensors because of its inherent characteristics and can be easily integrated into aptamer based sensing platforms. This review summarizes the "synergistic benefits" of ECL aptamer-based sensors; classifications of ECL aptamer-based assay designs, and signal amplification strategies. This critical review highlights the effects of integration of nanomaterials, immobilization techniques, and amplification/detection strategies on the analytical performance of ECL based aptasensors. Moreover, several proof-of-concepts with appropriate figures and explanations have been shown to provide a general guide for the design of ECL aptasensors, and to stimulate further application of these ECL aptasensors. Finally, we conclude with the remaining challenges and opportunities to inspire further developments in ECL aptasensors.

Abstract
Porphyrins and metalloporphyrins are promising new protein labels that can be detected using multiple techniques; improving the reliability of the analysis and broadening the range of the linear response. Here, we investigate the potential of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphyrin (Tpp) as a hybrid protein label. The electrochemical and optical properties of porphyrin conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA), chicken egg albumin (CEA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were determined and optimal conditions for Tpp-protein conjugation established. Model conjugates of carboxylated Tpp with BSA and short peptides were characterized using differential pulse voltammetry, UV-Vis spectrophotometry and spectrofluorimetry. These results reveal that Tpp is a promising molecule to be used in a triple detection protein labelling system.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and selective chemiluminescent (CL) biosensor for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was developed by taking advantage of the ATP-dependent enzymatic reaction (ATP-DER), the powerful signal amplification capability of rolling circle amplification (RCA), and hydroxylamine-amplified gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The strategy relies on the ability of ATP, a cofactor of T4 DNA ligase, to trigger the ligation-RCA reaction. In the presence of ATP, the T4 DNA ligase catalyzes the ligation reaction between the two ends of the padlock probe, producing a closed circular DNA template that initiates the RCA reaction with phi29 DNA polymerase and dNTP. Therein, many complementary copies of the circular template can be generated. The ATP-DER is eventually converted into a detectable CL signal after a series of processes, including gold probe hybridization, hydroxylamine amplification, and oxidative gold metal dissolution coupled with a simple and sensitive luminol CL reaction. The CL signal is directly proportional to the ATP level. The results showed that the detection limit of the assay is 100 pM of ATP, which compares favorably with those of other ATP detection techniques. In addition, by taking advantage of ATP-DER, the proposed CL sensing system exhibits extraordinary specificity towards ATP and could distinguish the target molecule ATP from its analogues. The proposed method provides a new and versatile platform for the design of novel DNA ligation reaction-based CL sensing systems for other cofactors. This novel ATP-DER based CL sensing system may find wide applications in clinical diagnosis as well as in environmental and biomedical fields.

Abstract
In the present study, a versatile "signal-on" electrochemical aptasensor based on a triple-helix molecular switch has been developed. An aptamer probe is designed to hybridize with the methylene blue (MB)-modified DNA capture probe immobilized on the gold electrode to form rigid triple-helix DNA, impeding the efficient electron transfer of MB to the electrode and resulting in the decreased oxidation peak current of MB. However, upon introduction of the perfectly matched target, for example, human α-thrombin (Tmb), the interaction between Tmb and the aptamer probe leads to the dissociation of the triple-helix DNA structure and thereby liberates the MB-modified end of the capture probe, allowing the MB to collide with the electrode surface and resulting in an increase of the oxidation peak currents of MB. Therefore, the sensitive signal-on detection of Tmb is realized, and the detection limit of Tmb is 0.12 nM. The proposed approach also demonstrates excellent regenerability, reproducibility and stability. Additionally, it also has the advantages of simplicity in design and easy operation. The success in the present biosensor provides a promising alternative to the electrochemical detection of a variety of analytes and may have potential applications in point-of-care testing and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
There has been tremendous interest in constructing nanostructures by exploiting the unparalleled ability of DNA molecules in self-assembly. We have seen the appearance of many fantastic, "art-like" DNA nanostructures in one, two, or three dimensions during the last two decades. More recently, much attention has been directed to the use of these elegant nanoobjects for applications in a wide range of areas. Among them, diagnosis and therapy (i.e., theranostics) are of particular interest given the biological nature of DNA. One of the major barricades for the biosensor design lies in the restricted target accessibility at the solid-water interface. DNA nanotechnology provides a convenient approach to well control the biomolecule-confined surface to increase the ability of molecular recognition at the biosensing interface. For example, tetrahedral DNA nanostructures with thiol modifications can be self-assembled at the gold surface with high reproducibility. Since DNA tetrahedra are highly rigid and well-defined structures with atomic precision and versatile functionality, they provide scaffolds for anchoring of a variety of biomolecular probes (DNA, aptamers, peptides, and proteins) for biosensing. Significantly, this DNA nanostructure-based biosensing platform greatly increases target accessibility and improves the sensitivity for various types of molecular targets (DNA, RNA, proteins, and small molecules) by several orders of magnitude. In an alternative approach, DNA nanostructures provide a framework for the development of dynamic nanosensors that can function inside the cell. DNA tetrahedra are found to be facilely cell permeable and can sense and image specific molecules in cells. More importantly, these DNA nanostructures can be efficient drug delivery nanocarriers. Since they are DNA molecules by themselves, they have shown excellent cellular biocompatibility with minimal cytotoxicity. As an example, DNA tetrahedra tailored with CpG oligonucleotide drugs have shown greatly improved immunostimulatory effects that makes them a highly promising nanomedicine. By taking them together, we believe these functionalized DNA nanostructures can be a type of intelligent theranostic nanodevice for simultaneous sensing, diagnosis, and therapy inside the cell.

Electrochemiluminescence aptasensor for adenosine triphosphate detection using host-guest recognition between metallocyclodextrin complex and aptamer. Talanta 2014; 121:229-33. [PMID: 24607132 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2013.12.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2013] [Revised: 12/18/2013] [Accepted: 12/20/2013] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
A sensitive and label-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for the detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was successfully designed using host-guest recognition between a metallocyclodextrin complex, i.e., tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II)-β-cyclodextrin [tris(bpyRu)-β-CD], and an ATP-binding aptamer. In the protocol, the NH2-terminated aptamer was immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by a coupling interaction. After host-guest recognition between tris(bpyRu)-β-CD and aptamer, the tris(bpyRu)-β-CD/aptamer/GCE produced a strong ECL signal as a result of the photoactive properties of tris(bpyRu)-β-CD. However, in the presence of ATP, the ATP/aptamer complex was formed preferentially, which restricted host-guest recognition, and therefore less tris(bpyRu)-β-CD was attached to the GCE surface, resulting in an obvious decrease in the ECL intensity. Under optimal determination conditions, an excellent logarithmic linear relationship between the ECL decrease and ATP concentration was obtained in the range 10.0-0.05 nM, with a detection limit of 0.01 nM at the S/N ratio of 3. The proposed ECL-based ATP aptasensor exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity, without time-consuming signal-labeling procedures, and is considered to be a promising model for detection of aptamer-specific targets.

Abstract
A new flow-through electrochemical aptasensor was designed for ultrasensitive monitoring of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by coupling microvalve-programmable capillary column with CdS-functionalized DNA concatamer for signal amplification. Initially, a layer of primary DNA-conjugated polyacrylamide hydrogel was covalently linked onto the internal surface of capillary column, and then an automated sequenctial injection format with a syringe pump was employed for development of the programmable capillary-based aptasensor. In the presence of target DNA aptamer, the immobilized primary DNA hybridized with partial bases of the aptamer. The excess aptamer fregment could trigger the formation of DNA concatamer between auxiliary DNA1 and CdS-labeled auxiliary DNA2. Upon target ATP introduction, a specific ATP-aptamer reaction was excuated, thereby resulting in the release of CdS-functionalized DNA concatamer from the capillary. Subsenquent anodic stripping voltammetric detection of cadmium released under acidic conditions from the released CdS nanoparticles could be conducted in a homemade detection cell. Under optimal conditions, the dynamic concentration range spanned from 0.1 pM to 10nM ATP with a detection limit of 0.06 pM ATP. The electrochemical aptasensor showed good reproducibility, selectivity, and stability. In addition, the methodology was evaluated for the analysis of ATP spiked serum samples, and the recoveries was 81-140%.

Abstract
The 'Klarite™' SERS sensor platform consisting of an array of gold coated inverted square pyramids patterned onto a silicon substrate has become the industry standard over the last decade, providing highly reproducible SERS signals. In this paper, we report successful transfer from silicon to plastic base platform of an optimized SERS substrate design which provides 8 times improvement in sensitivity for a Benzenethiol test molecule compared to standard production Klarite. Transfer is achieved using roll-to-roll and sheet-level nanoimprint fabrication techniques. The new generation plastic SERS sensors provide the added benefit of cheap low cost mass-manufacture, and easy disposal. The plastic replicated SERS sensors are shown to provide ~10(7) enhancement factor with good reproducibility (5%).

Biosens Bioelectron 2013; 48:120-5. [PMID: 23665577 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2013.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2013] [Revised: 03/18/2013] [Accepted: 04/02/2013] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The immobilization of aptamer and the introduction of signal molecule are two keys for the development of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor. Herein, the immobilization strategy with graphene oxide (GO) and a functional oligonucleotide (FO) are used to develop a sensitive aptasensor with the detection of thrombin as a model. After GO is attached on glass carbon or gold electrodes through physical adsorption, the amino-tagged aptamer is immobilized on the electrode surface via an amide linkage between the amino group at the end of aptamer and the carboxyl groups on GO. The FO is designed to contain two parts: the complementary strand and an intermolecular duplex for the intercalation of Ru(phen)₃²⁺ as ECL probe. The hybridization between aptamer and its complementary part at FO achieves the introduction of Ru(phen)₃²⁺ probe onto the electrode surface for high ECL emission. The hybrid between aptamer and thrombin leads to the release of FO containing the intercalated Ru(phen)₃²⁺ probe. Correspondingly, the decreased ECL emission is used to quantify thrombin. The concentration-dependent response of thrombin is observed between 0.90 pM and 226 pM with a detection limit of 0.40 pM. While GO is used to immobilize the aptamer with various electrodes, such as glass carbon electrode and gold electrode in this work, GO can also preconcentrate TPrA on its surface to improve the sensitivity. The well-designed label-free ECL aptasensor strategy can be easily extended to other targets via the selection of their aptamers.
