Abstract
We have developed a highly sensitive and reliable fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) probe using nitro-dopamine (ND) and dopamine (DA) coated MnO2 nanosheet (ND@MnO2 NS and DA@MnO2 NS) as an energy acceptor and MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) as an energy donor. By employing surface-modified MnO2 NS, we can effectively reduce the fluorescence intensity of MoS2 QDs through FRET. It can reduce MnO2 NS to Mn2+ and facilitate the fluorescence recovery of the MoS2 QDs. This ND@MnO2 NS@MoS2 QD-based nanoprobe demonstrates excellent sensitivity to GSH, achieving an LOD of 22.7 nM in an aqueous medium while exhibiting minimal cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Moreover, our sensing platform shows high selectivity to GSH towards various common biomolecules and electrolytes. Confocal fluorescence imaging revealed that the nanoprobe can image GSH in A549 cells. Interestingly, the ND@MnO2 NS nanoprobe demonstrates no cytotoxicity in living cancer cells, even at concentrations up to 100 μg mL-1. Moreover, the easy fabrication and eco-friendliness of ND@MnO2 NS make it a rapid and simple method for detecting GSH. We envision the developed nanoprobe as an incredible platform for real-time monitoring of GSH levels in both extracellular and intracellular mediums, proving valuable for biomedical research and clinical diagnostics.

Rapid and sensitive electrochemical detection of oxidized form of glutathione in whole blood samples using Bi-metallic nanocomposites. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 346:140517. [PMID: 37879374 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023]
Abstract
We report a facile one-pot synthesis of bimetallic nickel-gold (Ni-Au) nanocomposite for ultra-sensitive and selective electrochemical detection of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) by electrochemical deposition on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate. The electrodeposition of Ni-Au nanocomposite on FTO was confirmed by various characterization techniques such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was utilized for the electrochemical characterization of glutathione reductase (GR)/Ni-Au/FTO working electrode at each stage of modification. The GR enzyme immobilized on the Ni-Au/FTO working electrode via glutaraldehyde cross-linking exhibited excellent selectivity against GSSG in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). The immobilized GR enzyme breaks down the GSSG to reduced glutathione (GSH) and converting NADPH to NADP+ whereby generating an electron for the electrochemical sensing of GSSG. The synergistic behavior of bimetals and good electro-catalytic property of the fabricated sensor provided a broad linear detection range from 1 fM to 1 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 6.8 fM, limit of quantification (LOQ) of 20.41 fM and sensitivity of 0.024 mA/μM/cm2. The interference with other molecules such as dopamine, glycine, ascorbic acid, uric acid and glucose was found to be negligible due to the better selectivity of GR enzyme towards GSSG. The shelf-life and response time of the fabricated electrode was found to be 30 days and 32 s, respectively. The real sample analysis of GSSG in whole blood samples showed average recovery percentage from 95 to 101% which matched well with the standard calibration plot of the fabricated sensor with relative standard deviation (RSD) below 10%.

Abstract
A novel stimulus-responsive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoprobe has been developed for sensitive glutathione (GSH) detection based on manganese dioxide (MnO2) core and silver/gold nanoparticles (Ag/Au NPs). The MnO2 core is not only capable to act as a scaffold to amplify the SERS signal via producing "hot spots", but also can be degraded in the presence of the target and thus greatly enhance the nanoprobe sensitivity for sensing of GSH. This approach enables a wide linear range from 1 to 100 µM with a 2.95 µM (3σ/m) detection limit. Moreover, the developed SERS nanoprobe represents great possibility in both sensitive detection of intracellular GSH and even can monitor the change of intracellular GSH level when the stimulant occurs. This sensing system not merely offers a novel strategy for sensitive sensing of GSH, but also provides a new avenue for other biomolecules detection.

Abstract
Cu2+ is a major environmental pollutant. An efficient measurement for Cu2+ is urgently needed. In this report, we have developed a new sensitive and selective ratiometric sensing platform using 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) for detecting Cu2+ in real samples. In the presence of Cu2+, o-phenylenediamine (OPD) could be catalytically oxidized to 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP), which could react with AMC, leading to quench the fluorescence intensity of AMC at 438 nm. Meanwhile, DAP provided a new emission peak at 557 nm. Based on the efficient overlapped spectrum of AMC and DAP, a ratiometric sensing platform through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was carried out. Furthermore, the as-proposed strategy displayed the linear relationship in the wide range from 6 to 250 μM with a low detection limit of 0.059 μM, and the recoveries of the spiked samples in real samples ranged from 86.5% to 110.1%. Moreover, comparing the visual fluorescence colors of the real samples with the standard colorimetric card, we used the as-proposed strategy as a solid-based platform for realizing an efficient semi-quantitative detection of Cu2+ via naked-eye visual fluorescence mode without any complicated instrument and operation. The above results implied that the as-proposed strategy could be used in the practice determination of Cu2+.

Abstract
Lead ions are heavy metal ions that are extremely harmful to the human body and ecological environment. They can cause irreversible damage to the human nervous system and blood system at low concentrations. It is very important to develop a simple, rapid, and sensitive detection method of Pb2+. Solution-gated graphene transistors (SGGTs) have been widely studied in recent years due to their ultra-high sensitivity in chemical sensing. Herein, we have demonstrated a sensitive sensor of Pb2+ based on the SGGTs through the glutathione gate modification. When Pb2+ are added into the electrolyte solution, the electrical double layer capacitance near the gate electrode changes because Pb2+ can be strongly chelated, leading to the channel current change. The detection of Pb2+ can be realized. The detection limit of sensors for Pb2+ can reach 1 × 10-18 M, and the response time is about 1 s. The channel current change and the logarithm of Pb2+ concentration exhibit a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 1 × 10-18 and 1 × 10-6 M. Because the glutathione molecule can well recognize Pb2+, the devices also demonstrate good selectivity to Pb2+. Compared with the convention detection, our method shows easy operation, high sensitivity, and high selectivity. Therefore, it has great potential in the analysis of trace samples for health and environment monitoring.

Abstract
Dynamically monitoring intracellular glutathione (GSH), a crucial biomarker of oxidative stress, is of significance for the diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases. Although manganese dioxide (MnO2) based GSH fluorescent sensors have exhibited high sensitivity and good selectivity owing to the specific reactivity between GSH and MnO2, near-infrared (NIR) MnO2 based nanoprobes for GSH detection are scarce. Herein, we have developed a NIR activatable fluorescence nanoprobe for the imaging and determination of intracellular GSH based on a core-shell nanoparticle, consisting of NIR emitted gold nanocluster doped silica as the fluorescent core and manganese dioxide as the GSH-responsive shell (named AuNCs@MnO2). Due to the absorption competition mechanism, the outer MnO2 shell rather than the inner AuNCs core preferentially absorbed the excitation light, thus leading to fluorescence quenching of the inner AuNCs core. Upon addition of GSH, the fluorescence of the nanoprobe restored along with the reduction of MnO2 to Mn2+ because of the absorption competition disappearance-induced emission. The activatable fluorescence linearly increased upon changing the GSH concentration in the range of 2 to 5000 μM with a detection limit of 0.67 μM. The cytotoxicity test shows that the AuNCs@MnO2 nanoprobes have a good biocompatibility. After entering the cancer cells, the intracellular GSH degraded the outermost MnO2 shell and initiated the NIR fluorescence restoration of AuNCs, which can be used to monitor the dynamic change of intracellular GSH. This strategy provides an NIR-activatable way to detect GSH levels in living cells and offers a promising platform for the diagnosis and treatment of GSH-related diseases.

Abstract
To pursue the sensitive and efficient detection of informative biomolecules for bioanalysis and disease diagnosis, a series of signal amplification techniques have been put forward. Among them, hybridization chain reaction (HCR) is an isothermal and enzyme-free process where the cascade reaction of hybridization events is initiated by a target analyte, yielding a long nicked dsDNA molecule analogous to alternating copolymers. Compared with conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that can proceed only with the aid of polymerases and complicated thermal cycling, HCR has attracted increasing attention because it can occur under mild conditions without using enzymes. As a powerful signal amplification tool, HCR has been employed to construct various simple, sensitive and economic biosensors for detecting nucleic acids, small molecules, cells, and proteins. Moreover, HCR has also been applied to assemble complex nanostructures, some of which even act as the carriers to execute the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs. Recently, HCR has engendered tremendous progress in RNA imaging applications, which can not only achieve endogenous RNA imaging in living cells or even living animals but also implement imaging-guided photodynamic therapy, paving a promising path to promote the development of theranostics. In this review, we begin with the fundamentals of HCR and then focus on summarizing the recent advances in HCR-based biosensors for biosensing and RNA imaging strategies. Further, the challenges and future perspective of HCR-based signal amplification in biosensing and theranostic application are discussed.

Abstract
Signal amplification is one of the most effective ways to develop the high-performance electrochemical sensors. However, it can be more complicated for ratiometric detections. Herein, a ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was proposed by taking advantage of a dual-amplification strategy by coupling of DNA walker (DW) with hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The special binding of AFB1 with ferrocene (Fc)-labelled aptamer triggers DW on hairpin DNA (hDNA) tracks to produce abundant double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). HCR-based strand amplification occurs on these dsDNA to absorb more methylene blue (MB). Then current ratio of MB (IMB) and Fc (IFc) is designed as a yardstick to detect AFB1. Our experiments reveal that the interaction between Fc and MB (i.e., steric hindrance, electron mediator) varies. In addition to steric hindrance, the presence of MB also acts as electron mediator, thereby facilitating the electron transfer between Fc and electrode. Such combined effect consequently depresses the efficiency of dual-amplification strategy to improve the detection. The developed ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor allows the accurate detection of AFB1 in the 0.003-3 pg mL-1 range. Our work has shed light on the amplification strategy for ratiometric sensing, and provided a new route in integrating different amplification strategies.

Abstract
Integrating two kinds of fluorescent probes in one system to develop a ratiometric sensing platform is of prime importance for achieving an accurate assay. Inspired by the efficient overlapped spectrum of 2-aminoterephthalic acid (PTA-NH2) and 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP), a new sensitive ratiometric fluorescent sensor has been developed for Cu2+ on the basis of in situ converting o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into DAP through the catalysis of Cu2+. Here, the presence of Cu2+ induced the emission of DAP, which acted as an energy acceptor to inhibit the emission of PTA-NH2. This dual-emission reverse change ratiometric profile based on the inner-filter effect improved sensitivity and accuracy, and the highly sensitive determination of Cu2+ with a detection limit of 1.7 nmol·L-1 was obtained. The proposed sensing platform displayed the wide range of detection of Cu2+ from 5 to 200 nmol·L-1 by modulating the reaction time between Cu2+ and OPD. Moreover, based on the specific interaction between glutathione (GSH) and Cu2+, this fluorescent sensor showed high response toward GSH in a range of 0.5-80 μmol·L-1 with a detection limit of 0.16 μmol·L-1. The successful construction of this simple ratiometric sensing platform without the participation of enzymes provides a new route for the detection of small biological molecules that are closely related to human health.

Abstract
Soybean saponin is one of the important secondary metabolites in seeds, which has various beneficial physiological functions to human health. GmSg-1 gene is the key enzyme gene for synthesizing class A saponins. It is of great significance to realize the visual and rapid detection of class A saponins at the genetic level. The hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was employed to the visual detection of GmSg-1 gene, which was implemented by changing the length of the target fragment to 92 bp and using the hairpin probes we designed to detect the GmSg-1 a and GmSg-1 b genes. The best condition of HCR reaction is hemin (1.2 μM), Triton X-100 (0.002%), ABTS (3.8 μM), and H2O2 (1.5 mM). It was found that HCR has high specificity for GmSg-1 gene and could be applied to the visual detection of different soybean cultivars containing Aa type, Ab type, and Aa/Ab type saponins, which could provide technical reference and theoretical basis for molecular breeding of soybean and development of functional soybean products.

Abstract
Artificial enzymes have drawn substantial research interest from the scientific community due to their advantages over natural enzymes. However, majority of artificial enzymes exhibit low affinity towards H2O2, which means that a high H2O2 concentration is needed for the oxidation of a substrate such as 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue-colored oxTMB. With this concern, Cu-CuFe2O4 was facilely synthesized, wherein, Cu0 accelerates the redox capacity of Cu-CuFe2O4 as well as the electron transfer between CuFe2O4 and H2O2. These materials induce excellent activity as a peroxidase. Cu-CuFe2O4 shows high affinity towards H2O2 with lower Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) than the reported values for ferrites and Horseradish enzyme (HRP). Moreover, it took only 5 min to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glutathione (GSH) through a colorimetric assay using Cu-CuFe2O4. Compared with CuFe2O4, the limit of detection (LOD) is about 90-fold lower for H2O2 using Cu-CuFe2O4. In addition, Cu-CuFe2O4 shows high stability as a nanozyme. Thus, the mechanism of the peroxidase-like nanozyme Cu-CuFe2O4 is proposed.

Abstract
A graphene oxide (GO)-based fluorescent bioassay was developed to quantify agrA gene transcription (its mRNA) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This method is based on the use of Klenow fragment (KF)-assisted target recycling amplification and hybridization chain reaction (HCR). A triple complex was designed that contained a capture probe (CP), a trigger probe (TP), and a help probe (HP), which were partially complementary to one another. In the absence of the target, all the oligonucleotides labeled with carboxyfluorescein (FAM) are adsorbed onto the surface of GO by π-stacking interactions. This adsorption quenches the FAM signal. On the contrary, the target RNA causes the triple complex to disintegrate and initiates strand-displacement polymerization reaction (SDPR) and HCR in the presence of the appropriate raw materials, including the primer, KF, dNTPs, hairpin 1 (H1), and hairpin 2 (H2), generating double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) products. These dsDNA products are repelled by GO and produce strong fluorescence, measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 480/514 nm. The fluorescent signal is greatly amplified by SYBR Green I (SGI) due to the synergistic effect of dsDNA-SGI. The target was assayed with this method at concentrations in the range 10 fM to 100 pM, and the detection limit (LOD) was 10 fM. This method also displayed good applicability in the analysis of real samples. It provides a new way of monitoring biofilm formation and studying the mechanisms of drug actions. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of the graphene oxide-based fluorescent bioassay for agrA gene transcription in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by using strand-displacement polymerization recycling and hybridization chain reaction.

Abstract
Detection of an environmental contaminant requires the use of expensive measurement equipment, which limits the realization of in situ tests because of their high cost, their limited portability, or the extended time duration of the tests. This paper presents in detail the development of a portable low-cost spectrophotometer which, by using a specialized chemosensor, allows detection of mercuric ions (Hg2+), providing effective and accurate results. Design specifications for all the stages assembling the spectrophotometer and the elements selected to build them are presented along with the process to synthesize the chemosensor and the tests developed to validate its performance in comparison with a high-precision commercial laboratory spectrophotometer.

Abstract
Bioelectrochemical systems are revolutionary new bioengineering technologies which integrate microorganisms or enzymes with the electrochemical method to improve the reducing or oxidizing metabolism. Generally, the bioelectrochemical systems show the processes referring to electrical power generation or achieving the reducing reaction with a certain potential poised by means of electron transfer between the electron acceptor and electron donor. Researchers have focused on the selection and optimization of the electrode materials, design of electrochemical device, and screening of electrochemically active or inactive model microorganisms. Notably, all these means and studies are related to electron transfer: efflux and consumption. Thus, here we introduce the basic concepts of bioelectrochemical systems, and elaborate on the extracellular and intracellular electron transfer, and the hypothetical electron transfer mechanism. Also, intracellular energy generation and coenzyme metabolism along with electron transfer are analyzed. Finally, the applications of bioelectrochemical systems and the prospect of microbial electrochemical technologies are discussed.

Abstract
We report a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay platform for the sensitive and rapid detection of a DNA marker (pagA) of Bacillus anthracis. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) has been recently considered a gold standard for the quantitative evaluation of a target gene, but it still suffers from the problem of a long thermocycling time. To address this issue, we developed a conceptually new SERS-PCR platform and evaluated its performance by sequentially measuring the Raman signals of B. anthracis DNA after the completion of different thermocycling numbers. According to our experimental data, SERS-PCR has lower limits of detection (LODs) than RT-qPCR under the small cycle number of 20. Particularly, it was impossible to detect a target DNA amplicon using RT-qPCR before the number of cycles reached 15, but SERS-PCR enabled DNA detection after only five cycles with an LOD value of 960 pM. In addition, the dynamic range for SERS-PCR (0.1-1000 pM) is wider than that for RT-qPCR (150-1000 pM) under the same condition. We believe that this SERS-PCR technique has a strong potential to be a powerful tool for the rapid and sensitive diagnosis of infectious diseases in the near future.

Abstract
This article first reported that a simple synthesis of carbon dots (UCDs) by pyrolysis of uric acid was proposed. The excitation wavelength was 350 nm and the emission wavelength was 402 nm for the synthesized UCDs. And the corresponding fluorescence quantum yield was 52.06%. The obtained UCDs could be served as a fluorescence probe to recognize Ag+ and glutathione (GSH), respectively. The fluorescence of UCDs was quenched after the addition of Ag+. The obtained UCDs had a linear relationship with Ag+ in the detection range of 0.1 μM to 2.0 μM, and the detection limit was 39 nM. The quenching fluorescence of this system could be restored after adding GSH. The fluorescence intensity increased linearly on increasing the concentration of glutathione in the range of 4 to 9 μM, and the detection limit was 66 nM. Based upon these phenomena, we proposed a novel fluorescence probe to detect Ag+ and detect GSH, respectively. In addition, the prepared UCDs were successfully applied to analyze Ag+ in mineral waters and GSH in blood serums.

This study indicates that glutathione restores the copper-ion-quenched fluorescence by coordinating the bound copper ion in the bovine serum albumin molecule used for stabilizing the gold nanocluster through its sulfydryl. Under the experimental conditions, the fluorescence response showed a linear relationship with the concentration of glutathione over the range from 10 µM to 400 µM. The fluorescence sensor successfully detected glutathione in commercial drug products.

Abstract
Simultaneous and sensitive detection of various antibiotic residues in one sample is essential to evaluation of food safety status. Herein, a multiplexed electrochemical aptasensor for multiplex antibiotics detection, with kanamycin (KANA) and ampicillin (AMP) as representative analytes, was designed by using metal ions encoded apoferrtin probes and double stirring bars-assisted target recycling for signal amplification. The encoded probes were prepared by apoferritin loading Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions and labeling with duplex DNAs (aptamers corresponding to KANA and AMP hybrid with its complementary DNA sequence), respectively. In the presence of KANA and AMP, the targets can recurrently react with the probes on the bars, and then replace a lot of Apo-Mencoded signal tags into supernatant. The peak currents of Cd2+and Pb2+from the tags corresponding with the concentrations of KANA and AMP were detected by square wave voltammetry in one run. As a result, KANA and AMP can be detected simultaneously within the range from 0.05 pM to 50 nM. And the detection limits were 18 fM KANA and 15 fM AMP (S/N = 3). The assay was testified to detect KANA and AMP residues with consistent results of ELISA in samples, e.g. milks and fishes. The assay was highly-sensitive, selective, cost-effective and easy-to-operate due to Apo-M encoded probes with high loading capacity of signal source substances. Moreover, double stirring bar-assisted target recycling, which was enzyme-free and could overcome matrix interference, was fabricated for signal amplification. Thus, the assay showed potential advantages for sensitively screening of antibiotic residues in foods.

Abstract
Since the advent of its theoretical discovery more than 30 years ago, DNA nanotechnology has been used in a plethora of diverse applications in both the fundamental and applied sciences. The recent prominence of DNA-based technologies in the scientific community is largely due to the programmable features stored in its nucleobase composition and sequence, which allow it to assemble into highly advanced structures. DNA nanoassemblies are also highly controllable due to the precision of natural and artificial base-pairing, which can be manipulated by pH, temperature, metal ions, and solvent types. This programmability and molecular-level control have allowed scientists to create and utilize DNA nanostructures in one, two, and three dimensions (1D, 2D, and 3D). Initially, these 2D and 3D DNA lattices and shapes attracted a broad scientific audience because they are fundamentally captivating and structurally elegant; however, transforming these conceptual architectural blueprints into functional materials is essential for further advancements in the DNA nanotechnology field. Herein, the chemical and biological sensing applications of a 1D DNA self-assembly process known as hybridization chain reaction (HCR) are reviewed. HCR is a one-dimensional (1D) double stranded (ds) DNA assembly process initiated only in the presence of a specific short ssDNA (initiator) and two kinetically trapped DNA hairpin structures. HCR is considered an enzyme-free isothermal amplification process, which shows substantial promise and offers a wide range of applications for in situ chemical and biological sensing. Due to its modular nature, HCR can be programmed to activate only in the presence of highly specific biological and/or chemical stimuli. HCR can also be combined with different types of molecular reporters and detection approaches for various analytical readouts. While the long dsDNA HCR product may not be as structurally attractive as the 2D and 3D DNA networks, HCR is highly instrumental for applied biological, chemical, and environmental sciences, and has therefore been studied to foster a variety of objectives. In this review, we have focused on nucleic acid, protein, metabolite, and heavy metal ion detection using this 1D DNA nanotechnology via fluorescence, electrochemical, and nanoparticle-based methodologies.

Abstract
It is critically important to detect antibiotic residues for monitoring food safety. In this study, an enzyme- and label-free electrochemical aptasensor for antibiotics, with kanamycin (Kana) as a typical analyte, was developed based on a double stir bar-assisted toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (dSB-TMSDR) for dual-signal amplification. First, we modified two gold electrodes (E-1 and E-2) with different DNA probes (S1/S2 hybrid probe in E-1 and DNA fuel strand S3 in E-2). In the presence of Kana, an S1/S2 probe can be disassembled from E-1 to form an S2/Kana complex in supernatant. The S2/Kana could react with S3 on E-2 to form S2/S3 hybrid and release Kana through TMSDR. After then, the target recycling was triggered. Subsequently, the formed S2/S3 hybrid can also trigger a hybridization chain reaction (HCR). Consequently, the dual-signal amplification strategy was established, which resulted in many long dsDNA chains on E-2. The chains can associate with methylene blue (MB) as redox probes to produce a current response for the quantification of Kana. The assay exhibited high sensitivity and specificity with a detection limit at 16 fM Kana due to the dual-signal amplification. The double stir bars system can both increase phase separation and prevent leakage of DNA fuel to reduce background interference. Moreover, it allows flexible sequence design of the TMSDR probes. The assay was successfully employed to detect Kana residues in food and showed potential application value in food safety detection.

Abstract
Because of bioaccumulation of food chain and disability of biodegradation, concentration of toxic mercury ions (Hg2+) in the environment dramatically varies from picomolar to micromolar, indicating the importance of well-performed Hg2+ analytical methods. Herein, reticular DNA is constructed by introducing thymine (T)-Hg2+-T nodes in poly(T) DNA, and copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) with aggregate morphology are prepared using this reticular DNA as a template. Intriguingly, the prepared CuNCs exhibit enhanced fluorescence. Meanwhile, the reticular DNA reveals evident resistance to enzyme digestion, further clarifying the fluorescence enhancement of CuNCs. Relying on the dual function of DNA manipulation, a high signal-to-noise ratio biosensor is designed. This analytical approach can quantify Hg2+ in a very wide range (50 pM to 500 μM) with an ultralow detection limit (16 pM). Besides, depending on the specific interaction between Hg2+ and reduced l-glutathione (GSH), this biosensor is able to evaluate the inhibition of GSH toward Hg2+. In addition, pollution of Hg2+ in three lakes is tested using this method, and the obtained results are in accord with those from inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. In general, this work provides an alternative way to regulate the properties of DNA-templated nanomaterials and indicates the applicability of this way by fabricating an advanced biosensor.

Abstract
A new "turn-on" fluorescent probe, RDMBM, based on the rhodamine B dye and the 2,5-pyrrolidinedione moiety was synthesized and characterized. Its sensing behavior toward various amino acids was evaluated via UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The observed spectral changes showed that RDMBM displays high selectivity and sensitivity toward GSH in MeOH/H2O (1:2, v/v, pH 7.40, Tris-HCl buffer, 1 mM) solution and that it undergoes 1:1 covalent binding with GSH. More importantly, the hydrogenation and ring-opening of the nitrogen atom in the spirane structure of rhodamine B derivatives were tightly bound to the induction effects of different groups. Furthermore, fluorescence imaging applications demonstrated that RDMBM can be successfully used for the detection of GSH in human breast cancer cells MCF-7.

Abstract
A variety of nucleic acid amplification techniques have been integrated into different detection methods to promote the development of sensitive and convenient analysis of nucleic acids. However, it is still in urgent need to develop amplified nucleic acid biosensors for the analysis of susceptible gene and even distinguishing single-base mismatched DNA in complex biological samples. Benefiting from the achieved detection strategies, here we boost isothermal nucleic acid amplification by resorting to enzyme amplification, and combine this two-stage amplification method with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to develop a signal-on nucleic acid detection platform. Due to the high cleavage efficiency of Exonuclease III (Exo III), a large amount of trigger DNA are produced to initiate multiple hybridization chain reaction circles. The product structure tagged with Tamra is then anchored onto the plasmonic SERS substrate and meanwhile enriched. It is demonstrated that this detection platform is sensitive toward the myocardial infarction disease related gene. A detection limit of 1 fM for the gene analysis in a linear relationship in the wide range from 1 fM to 10nM is achieved, better than most of previous counterparts. Meanwhile, our developed detection platform exhibits a high selectivity for the target gene over mismatched analogues. Our strategy provides a robust tool for signal amplification of gene detection even in blood samples.

Abstract
In the present work a highly sensitive and selective aptasensor was developed for the determination of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) based on the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) signal amplification. It was observed that the aptamer of 8-OH-dG could hybridize with the capture DNA immobilized on the gold electrode with a sticky tail left, which initiated the HCR and led to the formation of extended dsDNA structure on the electrode surface. Then the electroactive species ([Ru(NH3)6]3+, RuHex) intercalated into the dsDNA grooves to generate the amplified signal. However, in the presence of 8-OH-dG, the aptamer containing G-rich nucleic acid sequences would be induced to form a G-quadruplex structure, which made it impossible to continue the HCR. So the detection signal will significantly decrease. Under the optimal conditions, the peak current of RuHex was linear with the logarithm of 8-OH-dG concentration in the range from 10pM to 100μM with the detection limit of 2.5pM. By integrating the merits of enzyme-free amplification power of the HCR and the inherent high sensitivity of the electrochemical technique, the prepared aptasensor not only showed high sensitivity for the detection of 8-OH-dG, but also exhibited good selectivity against to the uric acid, an important interferent in the urine sample. Particularly, the aptasensor was applied to detect 8-OH-dG in urine samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) monitoring has attracted extensive attention because it serves a vital role in human pathologies. Herein, a convenient fluorescence "turn off-on" nanosensor based on graphene quantum dots (GQDs)-manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheet has been designed for selective detection of GSH in living cells. The fluorescence intensity of GQDs can be quenched by MnO2 nanosheets via a fluorescence resonance energy transfer. However, GSH can reduce MnO2 nanosheets to Mn(2+) cations and release GQDs, causing sufficient recovery of fluorescent signal. The MnO2 nanosheets serve as both fluorescence nanoquencher and GSH recognizer in the sensing platform. The sensing platform displayed a sensitive response to GSH in the range of 0.5-10 μmol L(-1), with a detection limit of 150 nmol L(-1). Furthermore, the chemical response of the GQDs-MnO2 nanoprobe exhibits high selectivity toward GSH over other electrolytes and biomolecules. Most importantly, the promising platform was successfully applied in monitoring the intracellular GSH in living cells, indicating its great potential to be used in disease diagnosis. Meanwhile, this GQDs-MnO2 platform is also generalizable and can be easily expanded to the detection and imaging of other reactive species in living cells.
