Abstract
Lead ions (Pb2+) are a widely distributed and highly toxic heavy metal pollutant, which seriously threatens the environment, economy and human safety. Here, a label-free ratiometric fluorescent biosensor was constructed for Pb2+ detection using DNAzyme-driven target cycling and exonuclease III (Exo III)-mediated DNA cycling as a dual signal amplification strategy. The SYBR Green I (SGI) and N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM) used in this study are characterized by low cost, storage resistance, and short preparation time compared with conventional signaling probes labeled with fluorescent groups. Unlike the single-emission fluorescence strategy, monitoring the fluorescence intensity ratio of SGI and NMM can effectively reduce external interference to achieve accurate detection of Pb2+. DNAzyme structures on the surface of magnetic beads (MBs) can recognize Pb2+ and activate the target circulatory system to cleave single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The ssDNA further initiated the Exo III-assisted DNA circulatory system to digest double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and release guanine-rich G1. Finally, the fluorescence signals of SGI and NMM were weakened and enhanced, respectively. The sensing strategy achieved a wide linear range from 0.5 to 500 nM and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 26.4 pM. Furthermore, its anti-interference ability and potential applicability for Pb2+ detection in actual samples were verified. This work ingeniously combines the dual signal amplification strategy with the ratiometric sensing strategy constructed by structure-specific fluorescent dyes, which provides a promising method for constructing sensitive and accurate fluorescent biosensors.

Abstract
In order to detect Ag+ and Hg2+ in seawater, we explored a multifunctional fluorescence sensor. A multifunctional Ag+ and Hg2+ sensor was designed by using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as quenching agent, PicoGreen dye as fluorescent probe of base pairing double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and combining the characteristics of Ag+ making C base mismatch and Hg2+ making T base mismatch. Meanwhile, the DNA logic gate was constructed by establishing logic circuit, truth table, and logic formula. The relevant performances of the sensor were investigated. The results revealed that the sensor can detect Ag+ in the range of 100 to 700 nM with R2 = 0.98129, and its detection limit is 16.88 nM (3σ/slope). The detection range of Hg2+is 100-900 nM with R2 = 0.99725, and the detection limit is 5.59 nM (3σ/slope). An AND-AND-NOR-AND molecular logic gate has been successfully designed. With the characteristics of high sensitivity, multifunction, and low cost, the recommended detection method has the potential to be applied to the detection of Ag+ and Hg2+ in seawater.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), one of the biological anions, plays a crucial role in several biological processes including energy transduction, cellular respiration, enzyme catalysis and signaling. ATP is a bioactive phosphate molecule, recognized as an important extracellular signaling agent. Apart from serving as a universal energy currency for various cellular events, ATP is also considered a factor responsible for numerous physiological activities. It regulates cellular metabolism by breaking phosphoanhydride bonds. Several diseases have been reported widely based on the levels and behavior of ATP. The variation of ATP concentration usually causes a foreseeable impact on mitochondrial physiological function. Mitochondrial dysfunction is responsible for the occurrence of many severe diseases such as angiocardiopathy, malignant tumors and Parkinson's disease. Therefore, there is high demand for developing a sensitive, fast-responsive, nontoxic and versatile detection platform for the detection of ATP. To this end, considerable efforts have been employed by several research groups throughout the world to develop specific and sensitive detection platforms to recognize ATP. Although a repertoire of optical chemosensors (both colorimetric and fluorescent) for ATP has been developed, many of them are not arrayed appropriately. Therefore, in this present review, we focused on the design and sensing strategy of some chemosensors including metal-free, metal-based, sequential sensors, aptamer-based sensors, nanoparticle-based sensors etc. for ATP recognition via diverse binding mechanisms.

Abstract
In this study, a sensitive fluorescent method is designed to detect tobramycin (TOB) drug applying a hybrid structure of three aptamer strands and SYBR Green I (SGI) fluorescent dye as the bioreceptor segment and signal indicator, respectively. The preferential binding of the aptamers to TOB resulted in the collapse of the hybridized aptamer skeleton to the single strands. So, the intercalation of SGI molecules reduced that quenched the fluorescence response. The aptasensing assay provided the superior target specificity with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.153 pM and a wide linear dynamic range over 0.5 pM-300 μM. The aptasensor could successfully quantify TOB in human serum samples. The tag-free sensor with the remarkable advantages of simplicity, easy-to-use, cost-effectiveness, and high sensitivity is superior to be applicable for clinical samples.

Abstract
The current attempt was made to detect the amino acid homocysteine (HMC) using an electrochemical aptasensor. A high-specificity HMC aptamer was used to fabricate an Au nanostructured/carbon paste electrode (Au-NS/CPE). HMC at high blood concentration (hyperhomocysteinemia) can be associated with endothelial cell damage leading to blood vessel inflammation, thereby possibly resulting in atherogenesis leading to ischemic damage. Our proposed protocol was to selectively immobilize the aptamer on the gate electrode with a high affinity to the HMC. The absence of a clear alteration in the current due to common interferants (methionine (Met) and cysteine (Cys)) indicated the high specificity of the sensor. The aptasensor was successful in sensing HMC ranging between 0.1 and 30 μM, with a narrow limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.03 μM.

Abstract
Disruption of the blood-brain barrier and occurrence of coagulopathy after traumatic brain injury (TBI) have important implications for multiple secondary injury processes. Given the extent of post-traumatic changes in neuronal function, significant alterations in some targets, such thrombin (a protease that plays a physiological role in maintaining blood coagulation), play an important role in TBI-induced pathophysiology. Despite the magnitude of thrombin in synaptic plasticity being concentration-dependent, the mechanisms underlying TBI have not been fully elucidated. The understanding of this post-injury neurovascular dysregulation is essential to establish scientific-based rehabilitative strategies. One of these strategies may be supporting physical exercise, considering its relevance in reducing damage after a TBI. However, there are caveats to consider when interpreting the effect of physical exercise on neurovascular dysregulation after TBI. To complete this picture, this review will describe how the interactions established between blood-borne factors (such as thrombin) and physical exercise alter the TBI pathophysiology.

Abstract
Surface modification of inorganic nanomaterials with biomolecules has enabled the development of composites integrated with extensive properties. Lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are one class of inorganic nanomaterials showing optical properties that convert photons of lower energy into higher energy. Additionally, DNA oligonucleotides have exhibited powerful capabilities for organizing various nanomaterials with versatile topological configurations. Through rational design and nanotechnology, DNA-based UCNPs offer predesigned functionality and potential. To fully harness the capabilities of UCNPs integrated with DNA, various DNA-UCNP composites have been developed for diagnosis and therapeutics. In this review, beginning with the introduction of the UCNPs and the conjugation of DNA strands on the surface of UCNPs, we present an overview of the recent progress of DNA-UCNP composites while focusing on their applications for bioanalysis and therapeutics.

Abstract
Development of selective, ultra-sensitive, rapid and facile methods for the detection of chemical residues of toxic pesticides and hazardous chemicals are quite important in food safety, environmental monitoring and safeguarding public health. Herein, we presented a fluorescent turn-on aptasensor based on sulphur-doped graphene quantum dot (S-GQD) utilizing specific recognition and binding property of aptamer for the ultra-sensitive and selective detection of omethoate (OM) which is a systemic organophosphorus pesticide. The detection method is based on tuning aggregation-disaggregation mechanism of S-GQD by way of conformational alteration of the recognition probe. Fluorescence 'turn-on' process includes aggregation-induced quenching of S-GQD with aptamer via S-GQD-aptamer complex formation and its subsequent fluorescence recovery with the addition of OM by structural switching of S-GQD-aptamer complex to aptamer-omethoate complex. The reported 'switch-on' aptasensor has exhibited a low limit of detection of 0.001 ppm with high selectivity for OM over other pesticides.

Abstract
Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) plays a key role in many important biological processes of cells. It is not only a primer for DNA replication and one of the four essential nucleoside triphosphates for mRNA synthesis, but also an energy source for translation and other important cellular processes. It can be converted to adenine nucleoside triphosphate (ATP), and the intracellular GTP level is closely related to the specific pathological state, so it is crucial to establish a simple and accurate method for the detection of GTP. Deoxyribozymes have unique catalytic and structural properties. One of the deoxyribozymes which is named DK2 with self-phosphorylation ability can transfer a phosphate from GTP to the 5' end in the presence of manganese(ii), while lambda exonuclease (λexo) catalyzes the gradual hydrolysis of double-stranded DNA molecules phosphorylated at the 5'-end from 5' to 3', but cannot cleave the 5'-OH end. The fluorescent dye SYBR Green I (SG I) can bind to dsDNA and produce significant fluorescence, but it can only give out weak fluorescence when it is mixed with a single strand. Here, we present a novel unlabeled fluorescence assay for GTP based on the self-phosphorylation of deoxyribozyme DK2 and the specific hydrolysis of λexo. Owing to the advantages of simple operation, high sensitivity, good specificity, low cost and without fluorophore (quenching group) labeling, this method has great potential in biological applications.

Abstract
Fluorescence analytical methods, as real time and in situ analytical approaches to target analytes, can offer advantages of high sensitivity/selectivity, great versatility, non-invasive measurement and easy transmission over long distances. However, the conventional fluorescence assay still suffers from low specificity, insufficient sensitivity, poor reliability and false-positive responses. By exploiting various metal nanoarchitectures to manipulate fluorescence, both increased fluorescence quantum yield and improved photostability can be realized. This metal nanoarchitecture-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) phenomenon has been extensively studied and used in various sensors over the past years, which greatly improved their sensing performance. Thus in this review, we primarily give a general overview of MEF based sensors from mechanisms to state-of-the-art applications in environmental assays, biological/medical analysis and diagnosis areas. Finally, their pros and cons as well as further development directions are also discussed.

Then these carriers were put in the mixture of ATPs, CAPs, ATP-binding aptamers and CAP-binding aptamers to make one-pot label-free recognized interaction. The more ATP or CAP molecules binding their aptamers, the less aptamers left on the surface of carriers reducing the CL signals. The proposed aptasensor exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for ATP and CAP with the limits of detection of 3.76 × 10-8 moL/L and 2.48 × 10-8 moL/L, respectively. Finally, this method is further validated by measuring the recovery of ATP/CAP spiked in three different food samples.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In this paper, a simple, enzyme-free, label-free fluorescence, high sensitivity logic gate hairpin aptasensor was developed for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detection based on graphene oxide (GO) and PicoGreen dye.
Methods
Using single-strand deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as input signal and fluorescence signal as output signal, if single-strand DNA (DNA-L), single-strand DNA (DNA-S), and ATP were present at the same time, one segment of DNA-L formed a hairpin ring with ATP, and the other segment of DNA-L formed a completely complementary hairpin stem with DNA-S. The hairpin DNA was detached from the GO surface, and PicoGreen dye was embedded into the hairpin stem, and the fluorescence signal was enhanced. The molecular logic gate was constructed through the establishment of logic histogram, logic circuit, truth table, and logic formula. The biosensor-related performances including sensitivity, selectivity, and linearity were investigated, respectively.
Results
We have successfully constructed a AND logic gate. The detection limit of ATP is 138.0 pmol/L (3σ/slope) with detection range of 50–500 nmol/L (R2 = 0.98951), and its sensitivity is 4.748 × 106–6.875 × 108 a.u. (mol/L)−1.
Conclusions
The logic gate hairpin aptamer sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, low detection limit, and low cost, and can be successfully applied to the detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in actual human urine samples.

Abstract
A label-free homogeneous electrochemical aptasensor was developed for detection of thrombin based on proximity hybridization triggered hybridization chain reaction induced G-quadruplex formation. Thrombin promoted the formation of a complex via the proximity hybridization of the aptamer DNA strands, which unfolded the molecular beacon, the stem part of molecular beacon as a primer to initiate the hybridization chain reaction process. Thus, with the electrochemical indicator hemin selectively intercalated into the multiple G-quadruplexes, a significant electrochemical signal drop is observed, which is dependent on the concentration of the target thrombin. Thus, using this"signal-off" mode, label-free homogeneous electrochemical strategy for sensitive thrombin assay with a detection limit of 44 fM is realized. Furthermore, this method also exhibits additional advantages of simplicity and low cost, since both expensive labeling and sophisticated probe immobilization processes are avoided. Its high sensitivity, acceptable accuracy, and satisfactory versatility of analytes led to various applications in bioanalysis.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF) is rapidly becoming one of the main spectroscopic techniques for the detection of a variety of biomolecules and biomarkers. The main reasons for this trend are the high sensitivity and selectivity, robustness, and speed of this analytical method. Each year, the number of applications that utilize this phenomenon increases and with each such work, the complexity and novelty of the used substrates, procedures, and analytes rises. To obtain a clearer view of this phenomenon and research area, we decided to combine 76 valuable research articles from a variety of different research groups into this mini-review. We present and describe these works concisely and clearly, with a particular interest in the quantitative parameters of the experiment. These sources are classified according to the nature of the analyte, on the contrary to most reviews, which sort them by substrate nature. This point of view gives us insight into the development of this research area and the consequent increase in the complexity of the analyte nature. Moreover, this type of sorting can show possible future routes for the expansion of this research area. Along with the analytes, we can also pay attention to the substrates used for each situation and how the development of substrates affects the direction of research and subsequently, the choice of an analyte. About 108 sources and several interesting trends in the SEF research area over the past 25 years are discussed in this mini-review.

Abstract
Abnormal concentration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is directly asscociate with several diseases. Thus, sensitive detection of ATP is essential to early diagnosis of disease. Herein, we described an ultrasensitive strategy for ATP detection by using positively charged gold nanorods ((+)AuNRs) as an efficient fluorescence quenching platform, coupled with exonuclease Ⅲ (Exo Ⅲ) assisted target recycling amplification. To construct the sensor, DNA template that contained ATP aptamer was used for the formation of Ag nanoclusters signal probe (DNA/AgNCs), the structure of it could change to duplex after the interaction of it with ATP. Such DNA template or duplex DNA product could electrostatically adsorb onto (+)AuNRs surface, resulting in the quenching of the fluorescence signal due to the vicinity of AgNCs to (+)AuNRs. With the addition of Exo Ⅲ, DNA duplex could be hydrolyzed and released from (+)AuNRs surface, leading to the recovery of a strong fluorescent signal, while ATP could be regenerated for next target recycling. Combing the good fluorescence quenching ability of (+)AuNRs and the Exo Ⅲ assisted signal amplification, a low detection limit of 26 pM was achieved for ATP detection. Notably, the proposed method can be successfully applied for detecting ATP in serum samples, indicating a potential application value in early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Detecting molecular biomarkers in high sensitivity plays an important role in the diagnosis of various diseases at the early stage. Here, by combining the target-induced polymerization nicking reaction (TIPNR) with the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), we describe an ultrasensitive and label-free aptamer-based sensing method for detecting low levels of proteins in human serum by using thrombin as the model target analyte. The target thrombin binds and causes spontaneous assembly of two distinct aptamer probes to form the templates for the polymerization nicking reaction recycling amplification to produce many forward inner primer sequences. Subsequently, downstream LAMP reactions are initiated by these sequences for the generation of tremendous DNA hairpins with various lengths via automated cyclic strand displacement reactions. The SYBR Green I organic dye further binds the many hairpins to show drastically amplified fluorescence for ultrasensitive detection of thrombin down to 3.6 fM in the linear range from 0.01 pM to 10 nM. Such a sensing method based on aptamers has high discrimination capability for the target molecules against other non-specific proteins and is applicable for diluted serum samples. With the successful demonstration of the substantial signal amplification ability and simplicity feature of this assay approach, highly sensitive and convenient detection of other disease biomarkers with this method can be envisioned in the near future.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as one of the effective tools for sensitive and selective detection of biomolecules has attracted tremendous attention. Here, we construct a versatile biomolecular detection platform based on photo-induced enhanced Raman spectroscopy (PIERS) effect for ultrasensitive detection of multiple analytes. In our PIERS sensor, we exploit the molecular recognition capacity of aptamers and the high affinity of aptamers with analyte to trigger TiO2@AgNP substrates binding with Raman tag-labeled gold nanoparticles probes via analyte, thus forming sandwich complexes. Additionally, combining plasmonic nanoparticles with photo-activated substrates allows PIERS sensor to achieve increased sensitivity beyond the normal SERS effect upon ultraviolet irradiation. Accordingly, the PIERS can be implemented for analysis of multiple analytes by designing different analyte aptamers, and we further demonstrate that the constructed PIERS sensor can serve as a versatile detection platform for sensitively analyzing various biomolecules including small molecules (adenosine triphosphate (ATP), limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 nM), a biomarker (thrombin, LOD of 50 pM), and a drug (cocaine, LOD of 5 nM). Therefore, this versatile biomolecular detection platform based on PIERS effect for ultrasensitive detection of multiple analytes holds great promise to be a practical tool.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial contamination greatly threats human health and safety. Rapidly biosensing pathogens in the early stage of infection would be helpful to choose the correct drug treatment, prevent transmission of pathogens, as well as decrease mortality and economic losses. Traditional techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, are accurate and effective, but are greatly limited because they are complex and time-consuming. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors combine the advantages of both electrochemical and photoluminescence analysis and are suitable for high sensitivity and simple pathogenic bacteria detection. In this review, we summarize recent advances in ECL sensors for pathogenic bacteria detection and highlight the development of paper-based ECL platforms in point of care diagnosis of pathogens.

Abstract
To monitor the thrombin concentration under the condition of abnormal blood coagulation is of clinical significance for the diagnosis of various diseases. Here, on the basis of the aptamer structure switching induced by the target molecules and the signal amplification strategy via recycling of metal-ion dependent DNAzymes, we have established a sensitive and simple fluorescent aptasensor for detecting thrombin in human serum. The thrombin target specifically binds to the aptamer sequence and causes a corresponding conformational structure switching, which leads to the formation of a toehold sequence to facilitate the strand migration displacement reaction for the generation of functional metal-ion dependent DNAzymes. These DNAzymes further cleave the fluorescently quenched hairpin substrates cyclically to yield substantially amplified fluorescence recovery for sensitively detecting thrombin in the dynamic range from 0.01 nM to 50 nM. Such an aptasensor shows a detection limit of 6.9 pM and can achieve the monitoring of thrombin in diluted human serum with high selectivity, offering a universal sensing strategy for the construction of various sensitive and simple aptasensors to detect different biomarker molecules.

Abstract
This work reports a microfluidic paper-based photoelectrochemical (μ-PEC) sensing platform for thrombin (TB) detection with electron-transfer tunneling distance regulation (ETTDR) and aptamer target-triggering nicking enzyme signaling amplification (NESA) dual strategies. Specifically, paper-based TiO2 nanosheets (PTNs) were prepared with an efficient hydrothermal process, serving as the direct pathway for the charge carriers transfer. When CeO2-labeled hairpin DNA 3 (HP3) was closely located at the PTNs, the CeO2-PTNs heterostructure was formed, which could great facilitate the photogenerated carries separation of CeO2. In addition, with the aid of aptamer target-triggering NESA strategy, the input TB could be transducted to numerous output target of DNA (tDNA), achieving the goal of desirable signal amplification. In the presence of TB, the output tDNA could be further hybridized with HP3 and unfold its hairpin loop, which forced the CeO2 away from the surface of PTNs and vanished the CeO2-PTNs heterostructure, resulting in the obviously reducing of photocurrent signal. The as-designed sensing platform exhibited a linear range from 0.02 pM to 100 pM with a detection limit of 6.7 fM. Importantly, this μ-PEC sensing platform could not only realize the highly efficient TB detection, but also pave a luciferous way for the detection of other protein in bioanalysis.

Abstract
We herein describe a simple and sensitive strategy to detect a small molecule-protein interaction based on terminal protection-mediated exponential strand displacement amplification (eSDA). In principle, the small molecule linked to a DNA probe protects the DNA probe against the exonuclease I-catalyzed degradation after its binding to the corresponding target protein. The protected DNA probe then serves as a template to promote eSDA. Consequently, a large number of duplexes are produced, which leads to a high fluorescence from a double-stranded DNA specific fluorescent dye, SYBR Green I. As a model system to prove this sensing strategy, the interaction between biotin and streptavidin (SA), which is known to be the strongest among the non-covalent biological interactions, was selected and its analytical performance was thoroughly investigated. As a result, SA was sensitively detected with the limit of detection of 16 pM. In addition, the practical applicability of this method was successfully demonstrated by reliably determining the SA in human serum.

Abstract
DNAzymes have been widely explored owing to their excellent catalytic activity in a broad range of applications, notably in sensing and biomedical devices. These newly discovered applications have built high hopes for designing novel catalytic DNAzymes. However, the selection of efficient DNAzymes is a challenging process but one that is of crucial importance. Initially, systemic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) was a labor-intensive and time-consuming process, but recent advances have accelerated the automated generation of DNAzyme molecules. This review summarizes recent advances in SELEX that improve the affinity and specificity of DNAzymes. The thriving generation of new DNAzymes is expected to open the door to several healthcare applications. Therefore, a significant portion of this review is dedicated to various biological applications of DNAzymes, such as sensing, therapeutics, and nanodevices. In addition, discussion is further extended to the barriers encountered for the real-life application of these DNAzymes to provide a foundation for future research.

Abstract
A simple, low-cost and sensitive label-free aptasensor assembled with assisting reduced graphene oxide nanosheets as the signal amplifier was fabricated and applied for detecting ultra-low levels of Aflatoxin B1(AFB1) through a nano-bio interaction system. The conditions of different modified glassy carbon electrodes as the base of aptasensor were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The performance of the fabricated aptasensor was evaluated by FESEM, HRTEM and AFM images. The proposed biosensor detected AFB1sensitively in a wide linear range (0.5 nM-4μM) by DPV with a considerable low limit of detection (LOD = 0.07 nM) and good repeatability (RSD = 2.9) and stability. Finally, the present aptasensor was applied successfully for monitoring AFB1 with appropriate recoveries in pasteurized cow milk and human blood plasma as real samples.

Abstract
In this study, a label-free fluorescent, enzyme-free, simple, highly sensitive AND logic gate aptasensor was developed for the detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with cohesive ends was attached to graphene oxide (GO) to form an aptasensor probe. ATP and single-stranded DNA were used as input signals. Fluorescence intensity of PicoGreen dye was used as an output signal. The biosensor-related performances, including the logic gate construction, reaction time, linearity, sensitivity, and specificity, were investigated and the results showed that an AND logic gate was successfully constructed. The ATP detection range was found to be 20 to 400 nM (R² = 0.9943) with limit of detection (LOD) of 142.6 pM, and the sensitivity range was 1.846 × 10⁶ to 2.988 × 10⁶ M-1. This method for the detection of ATP has the characteristics of being simple, low cost, and highly sensitive.

Abstract
Paper-based analytics allows building portable and disposable devices for point-of-care (POC) diagnosis. Conventional methods for quantifying proteins exhibit substantial disadvantages related to costs and difficulty of the technique when used in settings where fast and cost-effective assays are needed. We report the successful application of a simple, rapid, easy to use, and label-free aptasensor strategy based on the selective fluorescence of the NMM IX dye. For the probe design, the three-dimensional (3-D) structures of the DNA components were carefully analyzed using software for the 3-D visualization of crystallographic structures. The chimeric aptafluorescence molecule consists of two modules, a detection aptamer and a transduction sequence that induces the specific fluorescence of NMM IX. In the presence of thrombin, a fluorescent spot visible to the naked eye can be observed. The fluorescent response is directly proportional to protein concentration and can be easily quantified colorimetrically using a low-cost microscopy system. The recognition probe design might be adaptable to other relevant biological analytes by changing the sequence of the aptamer. This proof of principle represents a contribution to the development of useful, cheap, reliable, and simple protein quantification assays for POC testing.

Abstract
The article describes an on-chip amplification scheme initiated by a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) for highly sensitive fluorometric determination of protein. Two thrombin-binding aptamers were designed to capture thrombin as they can form a sandwich structure for improved specificity. An amino-modified aptamer (TBA29) was first immobilized on a silicon chip. After capture of thrombin, a second aptamer (TBA15) was conjugated to the second binding site of thrombin. The 3'-terminal of aptamer TBA15 is exposed on the chip surface, and then fluorescein-labeled 12-dATP associates to the 3'-terminal with the help of TdT. This results in signal amplification, and eventually leads to highly sensitive detection. Under optimal conditions, fluorescence intensity is linearly related to the logarithm of thrombin concentration in the range of 100 fM - 0.1 μM, and the detection limit is as low as 2.0 fM. The assay is sensitive and selective even over potentially interfering proteins and in the presence of human serum. Graphical abstract Schematic strategy for thrombin detection. Two thrombin-binding aptamers were designed to capture thrombin to form a sandwich structure for improved specificity. The protein detection is based on TdT initiated on-chip fluorescent amplification.

Abstract
The serious threats of mercury (Hg2+) and lead (Pb2+) ions for the public health makes it important to achieve the detection methods of the ions with high affinity and specificity. Metal ions usually coexist in some environment and foodstuff or clinical samples. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a fast and simple method for simultaneous monitoring the amount of metal ions, especially when Hg2+ and Pb2+ coexist. DNAzyme-based biosensors and aptasensors have been highly regarded for this purpose as two main groups of the functional nucleic acid (FNA)-based biosensors. In this review, we summarize the recent achievements of functional nucleic acid-based biosensors for the simultaneous detection of Hg2+ and Pb2+ ions in two main optical and electrochemical groups. The tremendous interest in utilizing the various nanomaterials is also highlighted in the fabrication of the FNA-based biosensors. Finally, some results are presented based on the advantages and disadvantages of the studied FNA-based biosensors to compare their validation.

Abstract
There are different clotting factors present in blood, carries the clotting cascade and excessive bleeding may cause a deficiency in the clotting Diagnosis of this deficiency in clotting drastically reduces the potential fatality. For enabling a sensor to detect the clotting factors, suitable probes such as antibody and aptamer have been used to capture these targets on the sensing surface. Two major clotting factors were widely studied for the diagnosis of clotting deficiency, which includes factor IX and thrombin. In addition, factor IX is considered as the substitute for heparin and the prothrombotic associated with the increased thrombin generation are taking into account their prevalence. The biosensors, surface plasmon resonance, evanescent-field-coupled waveguide-mode sensor, metal-enhanced PicoGreen fluorescence and electrochemical aptasensor were well-documented and improvements have been made for high-performance sensing. We overviewed detecting factor IX and thrombin using these biosensors, for the potential application in medical diagnosis.

Abstract
We present a simple and efficient colorimetric assay strategy for ultrasensitive visual detection of human α-thrombin, which is essentially based on the formation of the DNA1-thrombin-DNA2 sandwich complex-bridged gold nanoparticle (Au NP) oligomers. Unlike the traditional colorimetric sensing strategies which induced the nanoparticle aggregates with uncontrolled aggregate size. In this work, the DNA1with rich G bases was firstly conjugated on the surfaces of Au NPs fixed on the hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-coated glass slide, and thrombin was captured by the DNA1. Then, the other DNA2 with rich G bases interacted with the former DNA1-thrombin complex and formed a DNA1-thrombin-DNA2 sandwich complex. The subsequently added Au NPs can be bound to the Au NP-DNA1-thrombin-DNA2 via Au-S bond to trigger the formation of Au NP oligomers, an apparent color change of the single Au NPs from green to yellow and red was observed under dark field microscopy. By measuring the intensity change of the yellow and red Au NPs, the concentration of target thrombin could be accurately quantified. As a proof of concept experiment, the formation of Au NP oligomers resulted in significantly improved sensitivity (10 fM of limit of detection and 20 fM of limit of quantity) and wider linear dynamic range of thrombin detection (20 fM-20 nM), the relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 5.73% (n = 5). In addition, in order to validate the potential application in clinical diagnosis, the content of thrombin in a human serum samples was also quantified.

Abstract
In this paper, fluorescent Ag nanoclusters (Ag NCs) templated by hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (PEI) are utilized as a versatile probe through the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) between PEI-Ag NCs and G-quadruplex-hemin complexes. In the presence of hemin and target molecule, the specific conjugation with its aptamer induces the conformational change of the DNA sequence, releasing the G-quadruplex sequence part. Once the G-quadruplex-hemin complexes are introduced, electron transfer from the PEI-Ag NCs to G-quadruplex-hemin complexes occurs, resulting in fluorescence quenching. Through changing the sensing DNA sequence, this novel PET system enables the specific detection of target DNA and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) with the wide linear range of 1-200 nM and 5-500 nM, respectively, and the corresponding limit of detection as low as 0.3 nM for target DNA and 1.5 nM for ATP. In addition, the proposed method is successfully applied to the determination of ATP in human serum samples with satisfactory recoveries, and a logic gate is fabricated using target molecules and hemin as inputs and the fluorescence signal of PEI-Ag NCs as an output.

Abstract
The rapid detection of antibiotic residual in everyday life is very important for food safety. In order to realize the on-site and visual detection of antibiotic, a POCT method was established by using digital image colorimetry based on smartphone. Streptomycin was taken as the analyte model of antibiotics, streptomycin aptamer preferentially recognized analyte, and the excess aptamer hybridized with the complementary DNA to form the dsDNA. SYBR Green I combined with the dsDNA and then emitted obvious green fluorescence, thus the fluorescence intensity decreased with the increasing of streptomycin concentration. Then a smartphone-based device was constructed as the fluorescence readout. The smartphone camera acquired the images of the fluorescence derived from the samples, and the Touch Color APP installed in smartphone read out the RGB values of the images. There was a linear relationship between the G values and the streptomycin concentrations in the range of 0.1-100µM. The detection limit was 94nM, which was lower than the maximum residue limit defined by World Health Organization. The POCT method was applied for determining streptomycin in chicken and milk samples with recoveries in 94.1-110%. This method had the advantages of good selectivity, simple operation and on-site visualization.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is used as the energy source in cells and plays crucial roles in various cellular events. The cellular membrane is the protective barrier for the cytoplasm of living cells and involved in many essential biological processes. Many fluorescent probes for ATP have been successfully developed, but few of these probes were appropriate for visualizing ATP level fluctuation in cell membranes during the apoptotic cell death process. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new water-soluble cationic polythiophene derivative that can be utilized as a fluorescent sensor for detecting ATP in cell membranes. Poly((3-((4-methylthiophen-3-yl)oxy)propyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride) (PMTPP) exhibits high sensitivity and good selectivity to ATP, and the detection limit is 27 nM. The polymer shows low toxicity to live cells and excellent photostability in cell membranes. PMTPP was practically utilized for real-time monitoring of ATP levels in the cell membrane through fluorescence microscopy. We have demonstrated that the ATP levels in cell membranes increased during the apoptotic cell death process. The probe was also capable of imaging ATP levels in living mice.

Abstract
Sensitive and specific detection and quantification of small molecules often remain challenging. We developed a novel magnetic bead-based aptamer-assisted real-time PCR (Apta-qPCR) assay to provide a versatile platform for quantification of small molecules. The assay has been realized for the detection of ATP as a model system. The assay relies on a combination of qPCR with the target-induced dissociation (TID) of ATP aptamer from an oligonucleotide, complementary to the ATP binding site of the aptamer. The complementary oligonucleotide was immobilized on deoxythymidine (dT)-modified magnetic beads (dT-beads) and hybridized with the aptamer. The presence of ATP resulted in dissociation of the aptamer from the dT-beads and the dissociated aptamer was quantified using qPCR. The Apta-qPCR assay was able to detect 17nM ATP with a broad dynamic range from 50nM to 5mM. The assay is label-free, and real-time PCR-based detection of aptamer facilitates high sensitivity. The presented method is highly versatile and can be applied to various aptamer-target pairs to allow detection of a broad range of target analytes.

Abstract
Self-assembled nanostructures have been used for the detection of numerous cancer biomarkers. In this study, a gold-upconversion-nanoparticle (Au-UCNP) pyramid based on aptamers is fabricated to simultaneously detect thrombin and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and fluorescence, respectively. The higher the concentration of thrombin, the lower the intensity of SERS. PSA connected with the PSA aptamer leads to an increase in fluorescence intensity. The limit of detection of thrombin and PSA reaches 57 × 10-18 and 0.032 × 10-18 m, respectively. In addition, the pyramid also exhibits great target specificity. The results of human serum target detection demonstrate that the Au-UCNP pyramid is an excellent choice for the quantitative determination of cancer biomarkers, and is feasible for the early diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
We develop a versatile recognition system based on 3D triangular-shaped DNA nanotubes by integrating three different aptamer sequences along the three edges. This would allow multiple binding activities to be combined into a single system. The versatility of this nanotube platform can also provide a framework for spatial orientation and positioning of different aptamer-binding ligands in a 'pea-pod' architecture.

Biosens Bioelectron 2016; 92:390-395.

Abstract
A novel dual-signal ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor for highly sensitive and selective detection of thrombin has been designed on the basis of signal-on and signal-off strategy. Ferrocene labeled hairpin probe (Fc-HP), thrombin aptamer and methyl blue labeled bio-bar-coded AuNPs (MB-P3-AuNPs) were rationally introduced for the construction of the assay platform, which combined the advantages of the recognition of aptamer, the amplification of bio-bar-coded nanoprobe, and the ratiometric signaling readout. In the presence of thrombin, the interaction between thrombin and the aptamer leads to the departure of MB-P3-AuNPs from the sensing interface, and the conformation of the single stranded Fc-HP to a hairpin structure to take the Fc confined near the electrode surface. Such conformational changes resulted in the oxidation current of Fc increased and that of MB decreased. Therefore, the recognition event of the target can be dual-signal ratiometric electrochemical readout in both the "signal-off" of MB and the "signal-on" of Fc. The proposed strategy showed a wide linear detection range from 0.003 to 30nM with a detection limit of 1.1 pM. Moreover, it exhibits good performance of excellent selectivity, good stability, and acceptable fabrication reproducibility. By changing the recognition probe, this protocol could be easily expanded into the detection of other targets, showing promising potential applications in disease diagnostics and bioanalysis.
