Abstract
Porphyrinoids and their analogous compounds play an important role in biosensing applications on account of their unique and versatile catalytic, coordination, photophysical, and electrochemical properties. Their remarkable arrays of properties can be finely tuned by synthetically modifying the porphyrinoid ring and varying the various structural parameters such as peripheral functionalization, metal coordination, and covalent or physical conjugation with other organic or inorganic scaffolds such as nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, and polymers. Porphyrinoids and their organic-inorganic conjugates are not only used as responsive materials but also utilized for the immobilization and embedding of biomolecules for applications in wearable devices, fast sensing devices, and other functional materials. The present review delineates the impact of different porphyrinoid conjugates on their physicochemical properties and their specificity as biosensors in a range of applications. The newest porphyrinoid types and their synthesis, modification, and functionalization are presented along with their advantages and performance improvements.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the current state of art as well as on future trends in electrochemical aptasensors application in medical diagnostics. The origin of aptamers is presented along with the description of the process known as SELEX. This is followed by the description of the broad spectrum of aptamer-based sensors for the electrochemical detection of various diagnostically relevant analytes, including metal cations, abused drugs, neurotransmitters, cancer, cardiac and coagulation biomarkers, circulating tumor cells, and viruses. We described also possible future perspectives of aptasensors development. This concerns (i) the approaches to lowering the detection limit and improvement of the electrochemical aptasensors selectivity by application of the hybrid aptamer-antibody receptor layers and/or nanomaterials; and (ii) electrochemical aptasensors integration with more advanced microfluidic devices as user-friendly medical instruments for medical diagnostic of the future.

Abstract
A tetrahedral DNA probe can effectively overcome the steric effects of a single-stranded probe to obtain well-controlled density and minimize nonspecific adsorption. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor is fabricated for determination of protein using a tetrahedral DNA probe and rolling circle amplification (RCA). N- and P-co-doped graphene (NP-rGO) is prepared, and AuNPs are then electrodeposited on it for DNA probe immobilization. Benefitting from the synergistic effects of the excellent electrical conductivity of NP-rGO, the stability of the tetrahedral DNA probe and the signal amplification of RCA, the biosensor achieves a low limit of 3.53 × 10-14 M for thrombin and a wide linear range from 1 × 10-13 to 1 × 10-7 M. This study provides a sensitive and effective method for the detection of protein in peripheral biofluids, and paves the way for future clinical diagnostics and treatment of disease.

Abstract
To the best of our knowledge, the current study based on ab initio quantum mechanical charge field molecular dynamics (QMCF-MD) is the first to explore the difference in the hydration behavior between Mn(II)- and Mg(II)-associated porphyrins (Mn(II)-POR and Mg(II)-POR) in aqueous solution. The simulation study highlights similar and dissimilar characteristics of the structural, dynamical, and thermodynamical properties of these closely related metals bound to porphyrins in aqueous solution. The structural analysis is based on radial and angular distribution functions, coordination number distributions, and angular-radial distributions. Both hydrated systems demonstrate similar pentacoordinated structures formed via the axial coordination of one water molecule to the metal ion in addition to the four nitrogen atoms of the porphyrin ring. However, in the case of Mn(II)-POR, the formation of a distorted square pyramidal geometry was observed. It was envisaged as a weak coordination of the water molecule to the Mn(II) atom and thus higher atomic fluctuation for all atoms in contrast to that for the hydrated Mg(II)-POR. The dynamical data in terms of the mean residence times, velocity autocorrelation function, free energy, and other parameters revealed the difference in the metal binding effect because the Mn(II) atom was observed to inhibit H-bond formation more than the presence of Mg(II) atoms in the core of the porphyrin. The current study thus highlights the significant differences in the structural and dynamical properties of Mn(II)- and Mg(II)-associated porphyrin systems.

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
A sensitive aptamer/protein binding-triggered sandwich assay for thrombin is described. It is based on electrochemical-chemical-chemical redox cycling using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) that was modified with WSe2 and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The AuNPs are linked to thrombin aptamer 1 via Au-S bonds. Thrombin is first captured by aptamer 1 and then sandwiched through the simultaneous interaction with AuNPs modified with thrombin-specific aptamer 2 and signalling probe. Subsequently, the DNA-linked AuNP hybrids result in the capture of streptavidin-conjugated alkaline phosphatase onto the modified GCE through the specific affinity reaction for further signal enhancement. As a result, a linear range of 0-1 ng mL-1 and a detection limit as low as 190 fg mL-1 are accomplished. The specificity for thrombin is excellent. Conceivably, this strategy can be easily expanded to other proteins by using the appropriate aptamer. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of an electrochemical biosensor for thrombin based on WSe2 and gold nanoparticles, aptamer-thrombin-aptamer sandwiching, redox cycling, and signal enhancement by alkaline phosphatase.

Abstract
Since the lack of detection diversity of the single-signal readout strategy, it is urgent to develop fast and multisignal assay strategies. A highly selective and sensitive assay method with colorimetric and fluorometric dual signals readouts is presented in this paper. It is based on the principle that the target induced conjunction of split aptamer fragments assembled on the surface of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). In the presence of targets, the color of solution changed from wine red to blue and can be measured both visual inspection and spectrophotometry because of the aggregation of AuNPs. At the same time, the report probes which are original hybrid with the anchoring aptamer fragments on the AuNPs surface can be released and recovers the fluorescence. By use of this detection strategy, the limit of detection for thrombin (TMB), as a model of analyte, were 0.45 and 0.16nM, respectively. Furthermore, this protocol can discriminate TMB from other analogue with high selectivity and can be used to detect TMB in human serum samples. The results came from the two signals were well consistent with each other, which demonstrated that it has application potential for detection of TMB in complex matrix.

Abstract
With the aim of a reliable biosensing exhibiting enhanced sensitivity and selectivity, this study demonstrates a dopamine (DA) sensor composed of conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanotubes (PEDOT NTs) conformally coated with porphyrin-based metal-organic framework nanocrystals (MOF-525). The MOF-525 serves as an electrocatalytic surface, while the PEDOT NTs act as a charge collector to rapidly transport the electron from MOF nanocrystals. Bundles of these particles form a conductive interpenetrating network film that together: (i) improves charge transport pathways between the MOF-525 regions and (ii) increases the electrochemical active sites of the film. The electrocatalytic response is measured by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry techniques, where the linear concentration range of DA detection is estimated to be 2 × 10-6-270 × 10-6 m and the detection limit is estimated to be 0.04 × 10-6 m with high selectivity toward DA. Additionally, a real-time determination of DA released from living rat pheochromocytoma cells is realized. The combination of MOF5-25 and PEDOT NTs creates a new generation of porous electrodes for highly efficient electrochemical biosensing.

Abstract
In this work, an improved target-triggering nicking enzyme signaling amplification (NESA) strategy as signal enhancer has been fabricated to obtain a sensitive electrochemical thrombin (TB) biosensor combined with PtPd NPs decorated electroactive Co-based metal-organic frameworks (Co-MOFs/PtPdNPs) as a redox mediator. Traditionally, in the NESA strategy, only one of the output double strands DNA is available in the next cycle. However, in this work, all of the output DNA involved in the improved NESA strategies could be further employed, resulting in high utilization of output DNA, which further enhanced signal amplification and sensitivity of the biosensor. In addition, the electroactive Co-MOFs were not only used as nanocarriers but also acted as signal labels, avoiding adding extra redox media. Simultaneously, in the presence of H2O2, PtPd NPs decorated on the Co-MOFs act the same as horseradish peroxidase to promote the oxidation of H2O2, further promoting the conversion of Co2+ to Co3+, leading to electrochemical signal amplification. With such design, the TB biosensor exhibited good sensitivity from 1 pM to 30 nM with a detection limit of 0.32 pM. This new NESA strategy with high utilization of output DNA can supply one efficient approach to improve signal amplification, which also open an avenue for sensitivity enhancement in detection of analytes.

Abstract
Specific and sensitive detection of protein biomarkers is of great importance in biomedical and bioanalytical applications. In this work, a dual amplified signal enhancement approach based on the integration of catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated in situ DNA polymerization has been developed for highly sensitive and label-free electrochemical detection of thrombin in human serums. The presence of the target thrombin leads to the unfolding and capture of a significant number of hairpin signal probes with free 3'-OH termini on the sensor electrode. Subsequently, TdT can catalyze the elongation of the signal probes and formation of many G-quadruplex sequence replicates with the presence of dGTP and dATP at a molar ratio of 6:4. These G-quadruplex sequences bind hemin and generate drastically amplified current response for sensitive detection of thrombin in a completely label-free fashion. The sensor shows a linear range of 0.5pM-10.0nM and a detection limit of 0.12pM for thrombin. Moreover, the developed sensor can selectively discriminate the target thrombin against other non-target proteins and can be employed to monitor thrombin in human serum samples.

Abstract
Analytical techniques for detection and quantitation of tetracyclines in food products are greatly in demand. In this study, a novel electrochemical aptasensor was designed for ultrasensitive and selective detection of tetracyclines, based on M-shape structure of aptamer (Apt)-complementary strands of aptamer (CSs) complex, exonuclease I (Exo I) and gold electrode. The aptasensor was developed to make a noticeable electrochemical difference in the absence and presence of tetracycline. In the absence of tetracycline, the M-shape structure, which acts as a gate and barrier for the access of redox probe to the surface of gold electrode remains intact, leading to a weak electrochemical signal. Upon addition of tetracycline, Apt leaves CSs, resulting in disassembly of M-shape structure and following the addition of Exo I, a strong electrochemical signal was observed. The developed analytical assay indicated high selectivity toward tetracycline with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 450 pM. Moreover, the designed aptasensor was effectively used for the detection of tetracycline in milk and serum samples with LODs of 740 and 710 pM, respectively.

Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers are promising alternatives to antibodies in analytics. They are generally obtained through an iterative SELEX protocol that enriches a population of synthetic oligonucleotides to a subset that can recognize the chosen target molecule specifically and avidly. A wide range of targets is recognized by aptamers. Once identified and optimized for performance, aptamers can be reproducibly synthesized and offer other key features, like small size, low cost, sensitivity, specificity, rapid response, stability, and reusability. This makes them excellent options for sensory units in a variety of analytical platforms including those with electrochemical, optical, and mass sensitive transduction detection. Many novel sensing strategies have been developed by rational design to take advantage of the tendency of aptamers to undergo conformational changes upon target/analyte binding and employing the principles of base complementarity that can drive the nucleic acid structure. Despite their many advantages over antibodies, surprisingly few aptamers have yet been integrated into commercially available analytical devices. In this review, we discuss how to select and engineer aptamers for their identified application(s), some of the challenges faced in developing aptamers for analytics and many examples of their reported successful performance as sensors in a variety of analytical platforms.

Abstract
In this work, an ultrasensitive electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of thrombin was developed based on Au nanoparticles decorated graphene sheet (Au@GS) and CoPd binary nanoparticles (CoPd NPs). A sulfydryl-labeled thrombin capture probe (Apt1) and a biotin-labeled thrombin reporter probe (Apt2) were designed to achieve a sandwich-type strategy. Au@GS was used as a sensing platform for the facile immobilization of Apt1 through Au-S bond, forming a sensing interface for thrombin. The specific recognition of thrombin induced the attachment of Apt2-CoPd NPs to the electrode. The labeled CoPd NPs showed good catalytic properties toward the reduction of H2O2, resulting in an amperometric signal. The amperometric response was correlated to the thrombin concentration in sample solutions. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) confirmed the successful fabrication of the aptasensor. A linear response to thrombin in the range of 0.01-2.00 ng mL(-1) with a low detection limit (5 pg mL(-1)) was achieved. The proposed aptasensor showed good selectivity, good reproducibility and acceptable stability. This proposed strategy may find many potential applications in the detection of other biomolecules.

A novel electrochemical aptasensor for bisphenol A assay based on triple-signaling strategy. Biosens Bioelectron 2015; 79:22-8.

Abstract
Based on a triple-signaling strategy, a novel electrochemical aptasensor has been developed for sensitive and selective detection of bisphenol A (BPA). The thiolated ferrocene (Fc)-modified BPA-binding aptamer probe (Fc-P) was immobilized on the gold electrode and then hybridized with the methylene blue (MB)-modified complementary DNA probe (MB-P) to form a rigid double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA). The specific interaction between BPA and Fc-P led to the release of MB-P from the sensing interface and the conformational change of Fc-P. As a result, the oxidation peak currents of Fc and BPA increased with the increase of the concentration of target (BPA) according to the "signal-on" mode while that of MB decreased with the increase of the BPA concentration according to the "signal-off" mode. By superimposing the triple signal changes, BPA was detected sensitively with a linear range from 1 pM to 100 pM. The detection limit is 0.19 pM, and much lower than that obtained by most of the reported electrochemical methods. The aptasensor also exhibited satisfactory specificity, selectivity, reproducibility and stability. By changing the specific aptamers, this strategy could be easily extended to detect other redox targets, showing promising applications in environmental analysis, food safety monitoring, and bioanalysis.

Abstract
Compared with conventional antibody-based immunoassay methods, aptasensors based on nucleic acid aptamer have made at least two significant breakthroughs. One is that aptamers are more easily used for developing various simple and rapid homogeneous detection methods by "sample in signal out" without multi-step washing. The other is that aptamers are more easily employed for developing highly sensitive detection methods by using various nucleic acid-based signal amplification approaches. As many substances playing regulatory roles in physiology or pathology exist at an extremely low concentration and many chemical contaminants occur in trace amounts in food or environment, aptasensors for signal amplification contribute greatly to detection of such targets. Among the signal amplification approaches in highly sensitive aptasensors, the nuclease-based target recycling signal amplification has recently become a research focus because it shows easy design, simple operation, and rapid reaction and can be easily developed for homogenous assay. In this review, we summarized recent advances in the development of various nuclease-based target recycling signal amplification with the aim to provide a general guide for the design of aptamer-based ultrasensitive biosensing assays.

Abstract
In this work, we presented a novel label-free and enzyme-free electrochemical aptasensor based on DNA in situ silver metallization as effective electrochemical label. Molecular beacon 2 (MB2, Peptide nucleic acid) was first immobilized on the gold electrode (AuE) through Au-S bond. In the presence of thrombin, the thrombin binding aptamer (MB1) preferred to form thrombin/aptamer complex in lieu of aptamer-DNA duplex, resulting in the 8-17 DNAzyme liberating from the caged structure and hybridization with the MB2, the MB2 will replace and free the target thrombin when it hybridizes with MB1. The released target thrombin can participate in the next hybridization process with MB1. Eventually, each target thrombin went through many cycles, resulting in numerous MB1 confining close to the AuE, which leaded to the surface became negatively charged and allowed the absorption of silver ions on the DNA skeleton. After chemical reduction by hydroquinone, the formed silver nanoparticles could be afforded a signal trace for electrochemical stripping analysis of target thrombin. Through introducing a hybridization chain reaction to increase the DNA length, the current signal was further amplified, achieved the detection of thrombin with a linear range from 1.0×10(-16) to 1.0×10(-11) M and a detection limit of 37 aM. In addition, the signal amplification is realized without using any enzymes or sophisticated label process, and the sensing strategy is completely non-labeled. The success in the present biosensor served as a significant step towards the development of monitoring ultratrace thrombin in clinical detection.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of thrombin has very important significance in clinical diagnosis. In this work, bare magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (magnetic nanoparticles) without any modification were used as fluorescence quenchers. In the absence of thrombin, a fluorescent dye (CY3) labeled thrombin aptamer (named CY3-aptamer) was adsorbed on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles through interaction between a phosphate backbone of the CY3-aptamer and hydroxyl groups on the bare magnetic nanoparticles in binding solution, leading to fluorescence quenching. Once thrombin was introduced, the CY3-aptamer formed a G-quartet structure and combined with thrombin, which resulted in the CY3-aptamer being separated from the magnetic nanoparticles and restoration of fluorescence. This proposed assay took advantage of binding affinity between the CY3-aptamer and thrombin for specificity, and bare magnetic nanoparticles for fluorescence quenching. The fluorescence signal had a good linear relationship with thrombin concentration in the range of 1-60 nM, and the limit of detection for thrombin was estimated as low as 0.5 nM. Furthermore, this method could be applied for other target detection using the corresponding fluorescence labeled aptamer.
