Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a zinc-containing metalloprotein that shows very great significance in clinical diagnosis, which can catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphorylated species. ALP has the potential to serve as a valuable biomarker for detecting liver dysfunction and bone diseases. On the other hand, ALP is an efficient biocatalyst to amplify detection signals in the enzyme-linked assay. It has always been a major research focus to develop novel biosensors that can detect ALP activity with high selectivity and sensitivity. There have been numerous reports on the development of biosensors to determine ALP activity using a phosphorylated DNA probe. Among them, various beneficial strategies, such as λ exonuclease-mediated cleavage reaction, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-triggered DNA polymerization, and Klenow fragment polymerase-catalyzed elongation, are employed to generate amplified and more intuitive signal. This review discusses and summarizes the development and advances of biosensors for ALP activity detection that use a well-designed phosphorylated DNA probe, aiming to provide some guidelines for the design of more sophisticated sensing strategies that exhibit improved sensitivity, selectivity, and adaptability in detecting ALP activity.

Abstract
Halide lead perovskite has attracted increased attention due to its excellent optical properties. However, the poor stability of the halide lead perovskite nanocrystals has been a major obstacle to their application in biosensing. Here, we proposed a method to synthesize CsPbBr3/BSA NCs perovskite using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a zwitterion ligand. Then, a fluorescent sensor for alkaline phosphatase determination based on CsPbBr3/BSA NCs was successfully built via the interaction of L-ascorbic acid (AA) with BSA on the perovskite surface. Under optimal conditions, the sensor showed a linear concentration range from 50 to 500 μM with a detection limit of 28 μM (signal-to-noise ratio of 3) for AA, and demonstrated a linear concentration range from 40 to 500 U/L with a detection limit of 15.5 U/L (signal-to-noise ratio of 3) for alkaline phosphatase (ALP). In addition, the proposed fluorescent biosensor exhibited good selectivity and recovery in the determination of ALP in human serum. This strategy offers an innovative way for enhancing the water stability of lead halide perovskite and promoting their application in biosensing areas.

Abstract
The use of polymerase enzymes in biotechnology has allowed us to gain unprecedented control over the manipulation of DNA, opening up new and exciting applications in areas such as biosensing, polynucleotide synthesis, and DNA storage, aptamer development and DNA-nanotechnology. One of the most intriguing enzymes which has gained prominence in the last decade is terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), which is one of the only polymerase enzymes capable of catalysing the template independent stepwise addition of nucleotides onto an oligonucleotide chain. This unique enzyme has seen a significant increase in a variety of different applications. In this review, we give a comprehensive discussion of the unique properties and applications of TdT as a biotechnology tool, and the application in the enzymatic synthesis of poly/oligonucleotides. Finally, we look at the increasing role of TdT enzyme in biosensing, DNA storage, synthesis of DNA nanostructures and aptamer development, and give a future outlook for this technology.

Abstract
Once administrated, intercellular adhesion to recognize and/or arrest target cells is essential for specific treatments, especially for cancer or tumor. However, immune cells administrated into the tumor-microenvironment could lose their intrinsic functionalities such as target recognition ability, resulting in an ineffective cancer immunotherapy. Various manipulation techniques for decorating functional moieties onto cell surface and enhancing target recognition have been developed. A hydrophobic interaction-mediated ex-vivo cell surface engineering using lipid-based biomaterials could be a state-of-the-art engineering technique that could achieve high-efficiency cell surface modification by a single method without disturbance of intrinsic characteristics of cells. In this regard, this review provides design principles for the development of lipid-based biomaterials with a linear structure of lipid, polyethylene glycol, and functional group, strategies for the synthesis process, and their practical applications in biomedical engineering. Especially, we provide new insights into the development of a novel surface coating techniques for natural killer (NK) cells with engineering decoration of cancer targeting moieties on their cell surfaces. Among immune cells, NK cells are interesting cell population for substituting T cells because of their excellent safety and independent anticancer efficacy. Thus, optimal strategies to select cancer-type-specific targeting moieties and present them onto the surface of immune cells (especially, NK cells) using lipid-based biomaterials could provide additional tools to capture cancer cells for developing novel immune cell therapy products. Enhanced anticancer efficacies by surface-engineered NK cells have been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, it could be speculated that recent progresses in cell surface modification technology via lipid-based biomaterials could strengthen immune surveillance and immune synapses for utilization in a next-generation cancer immunotherapy, beyond currently available genetic engineering tool such as chimeric antigen receptor-mediated immune cell modulation.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity is a diagnostic indicator for a variety of clinical diseases. In this study, an electrochemical method for detecting ALP activity through activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) was developed. Specifically, 3-mercaptopropionic (MPA) was firstly fixed on the electrode through sulfur-gold bonding. Subsequently, α-bromophenylacetic acid (BPAA) as initiator was attached to MPA through the recognized carboxylate-Zr4+-phosphate chemistry. Finally, in the existence of ALP, L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate sesquimagnesium salt hydrate (AAPS) was hydrolyzed to produce ascorbic acid (AA) which participated in the ARGET ATRP reaction, grafting polymer containing plenty of ferrocene electroactive probes on the surface of electrode. Under optimal experimental conditions, this method had a linear scope of 20-200 mU mL-1, and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.64 mU mL-1. In addition, the proposed method had good selectivity as well as anti-interference capability, with satisfactory results in inhibition rate and human serum experiments. By merits of good analytical performance, easy operation, and low cost, such a method for ALP activity detection has promising applications in ALP-related disease detection and inhibitor screening.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a commonly used marker in clinical practice, and this enzyme is a key indicator for diagnosing various diseases. In this study, we describe the development of a reliable and novel fluorescent assay for ALP detection based on chitosan carbon dots (C-CDs, peak emission, 412 nm) and calcein (peak emission, 512 nm). In the presence of Eu3+ (which binds calcein), the fluorescence intensity of calcein is quenched. Utilizing the ALP-triggered generation of phosphate ions (PO43-) from the substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP), the Eu3+ ions bind PO43- (which shows a higher affinity toward Eu3+ than calcein), and the fluorescence of calcein is recovered. As a consequence, C-CDs fluorescence is decreased by inner filter effect (IFE). Exploiting these changes in the fluorescence intensity ratio of C-CDs and calcein, we developed a high sensitivity, accurate, and easily synthesized ratiometric fluorescence probe. Our novel fluorescent bioassay demonstrates good linear relationship in the 0.09-0.8 mU mL-1 range, with a low detection limit of 0.013 mU mL-1. The excellent applicability of this novel assay in HepG2 cells and human serum samples demonstrates that our novel method has excellent biomedical research and disease diagnosis prospects.

Abstract
Herein, a ratiometric fluorescent sensor based on MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) and glutathione-capped gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) was developed for determination and imaging of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The sensor was developed by covalently linking QDs with AuNCs to form stable MoS2@AuNCs nanohybrids that exhibited the blue fluorescence of MoS2 QDs and the red fluorescence of AuNCs. In the presence of Ce3+, the fluorescence intensity of AuNCs was increased due to the aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE), while that of MoS2 QDs remained unchanged, thus could be used as a reference signal. After adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) and ALP were introduced into the system, AMP was hydrolyzed to adenosine and phosphate ions (PO43-). Owing to higher affinity between Ce3+ and PO43-, the AIEE effect was inhibited, in turn resulting in the decrease of AuNCs fluorescence. The developed ratiometric fluorescent sensor had a linear response to ALP concentration ranging from 0.5 to 50 U L-1 with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.08 U L-1. Moreover, the sensor had low cytotoxicity and was successfully employed in lysosome localization and bioimaging of intracellular ALP in living cells.

Abstract
A novel homogeneous label-free electrochemical biosensor using G-triplex/methylene blue (G3/MB) complex as the signal generator together with an amplification assisted by the λ-exonuclease (λ-Exo) has been successfully constructed for ultrasensitive microRNA (miRNA) detection. An integrated microelectrode was designed to realize the miniaturization of the homogeneous electrochemical assay. Taking advantage of G3, that can specifically bind with MB and decrease its diffusion current, a single-stranded functional DNA hairpin structure was designed as the bio-recognition probe. The probe consisted of G3, eight bases to block G3, and the complementary sequences of the target miRNA. Here we chose miRNA141—a potentially diagnostic biomarker of prostate cancer as the model target. The presence of miRNA141 could hybridize with the probe DNA to form a double-stranded structure with a 5′-phosphorylated terminus. Then λ-Exo was adopted to digest mononucleotides from the 5′-end, leading to the release of G3 part and miRNA141. The released miRNA could hybridize with another probe to trigger the cycling process, while the released G3 could therefore interact with MB to cause a detectable decrease of diffusion current. The proposed strategy showed a low detection limit of 16 fM and an excellent specificity to discriminate single-base mismatches. Furthermore, this sensor was applied to detect miRNA141 from diluted human serum samples, indicating that it has great potential in the application of nucleic acid detection in real samples.

Simultaneous sensing γ-glutamyl transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase by robust dual-emission carbon dots. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1178:338829. [PMID: 34482874 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.338829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Revised: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Rapid, convenient, sensitive and simultaneous detection of distinct enzymes is urgently needed for diagnosis, therapeutics and prognostic of related diseases. Here, a new strategy for simultaneous monitoring γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity has been fabricated based on dual-emission carbon dots (CDs). CDs were prepared by solvothermal treatment of Actinidia chinensis, which presents two fluorescent emissions at 471 nm (blue channel) and 671 nm (red channel). GGT and ALP activity can be detected based on inner filter effect (IFE) and static quenching effect (SQE) of blue and red channels of CDs, respectively. Linear ranges were 2.5-90 U L-1 and 5-200 U L-1, and limit of detection (LOD) were 0.71 U L-1 and 1.2 U L-1 for GGT and ALP, respectively. Developed CDs can monitor GGT and ALP activity in human serum samples with satisfied recoveries (99.3%-108.6% for GGT, 98.4%-105.4% for ALP). Furthermore, the combination of CDs to sense GGT and ALP activity with OR logic gate can predict human health status. The design and application of dual-emission CDs can also be extended as promising tools to detect multianalytes using different channel signals.

Abstract
The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is continuously worsening globally, herein we have proposed an electrochemical biosensor for the sensitive monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The presence of target RNA firstly triggers the catalytic hairpin assembly circuit and then initiates terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated DNA polymerization. Consequently, a large number of long single-stranded DNA products can be produced, and these negatively charged DNA products will bind a massive of positively charged electroactive molecular of Ru(NH3)63+ due to the electrostatic adsorption. Therefore, significantly amplified electrochemical signals can be generated for sensitive analysis of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the range of 0.1-1000 pM with the detection limit as low as 26 fM. Besides the excellent distinguishing ability for SARS-CoV-2 RNA against single-base mismatched RNA, the proposed biosensor can also be successfully applied to complex matrices, as well as clinical patient samples with high stability, which shows great prospects of clinical application.

A cathode photoelectrochemical assay of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase activity based on Ag-AgI-CNTs composite and surface multisite strand displacement amplification. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 181:113152.

Abstract
Photocathode-based assay is anti-interference for real sample detection. Photocathode produces low photocurrent signal and gives rise to poor sensitivity. Herein, a novel cathode photoelectrochemical (CPEC) sensing platform based on Ag-AgI-CNTs as photocathode material and K3[Fe(CN)6] as photoelectron acceptor was established. Since [Fe(CN)6]3- effectively accepted photoelectrons from Ag-AgI-CNTs, it greatly enhanced the CPEC response. Combining a surface multisite strand displacement amplification (SMSDA) strategy, the CPEC platform was applied for the activity assay of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT). In this proposal, oligo dT primer tethered on CPEC platform was in-situ extended to generate a polyA tail. Then the polyA tail formed a stable multi-point hybrid structure with the adjacent oligo dT. After launching the SMSDA, the CPEC platform was covered by more elongated polynucleotide chains and network, which acutely hampered the photoelectron transfer (eT) between photocathode and electron acceptor and caused a reduced photocurrent. The CPEC sensor possessed a satisfactory linear response from 6 × 10-5-0.1 U and a low detection limit of 1.1 × 10-5 U. The strategy offered a more specific and sensitive method for TdT activity assay. It was feasible in the field of TdT-based biochemical research, drug screening, and disease diagnosis.

Restoring the Oxidase-Like Activity of His@AuNCs for the Determination of Alkaline Phosphatase. BIOSENSORS-BASEL 2021; 11:bios11060174.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a simple colorimetric method for the sensitive and selective detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity based on the turn off/turn on oxidase mimic activity of His@AuNCs. His@AuNCs/graphene oxide hybrids (His@AuNCs/GO) were easily obtained using the self-assembly method with poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA)-coated GO and showed high oxidase-like activity compared with His@AuNCs. We found that the pyrophosphate ion (P2O74-, PPi) could effectively inhibit the oxidase mimic activity of His@AuNCs/GO, and the hydrolysis of PPi by ALP restored the inhibited activity of His@AuNCs/GO, enabling them to efficiently catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate the blue oxidized product oxTMB. The intensity of the color showed a linear dependency with the ALP activity. ALP was detected in the linear range of 0-40 mU/mL with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.26 mU/mL (S/N = 3). The proposed method is fast, easy, and can be applied to monitor the ALP activity in serum samples accurately and effectively, which suggests its practicability and reliability in the detection of ALP activity in clinical practice.

Abstract
The authors describe a novel, facile, and sensitive fluorometric strategy based on a Cu2+-thiamine (Cu2+-TH) system for the detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and inhibition. The principle of the method is as follows. Under a basic conditions, TH, which does not exhibit a fluorescence signal, is oxidized into fluorescent thiochrome (TC) by Cu2+. Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP), which is the enzyme substrate, is hydrolyzed to produce ascorbic acid (AA) by ALP. The newly formed AA then reduces Cu2+ to Cu+, which prevents the oxidation of TH by Cu2+; as a result, the fluorescent signal becomes weaker. On the contrary, in the absence of ALP, AAP cannot reduce Cu2+; additions of Cu2+ and TH result in a dramatic increase of the fluorescent signal. The sensing strategy displays brilliant sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.08 U/L, and the detection is linear in the concentration range of 0.1 to 100 U/L. This approach was successfully applied to ALP activity in human serum samples, indicating that it is reliable and may be applied to the clinical diagnosis of ALP-related diseases.

Abstract
G-quadruplex is a non-canonical nucleic acid structure formed by the folding of guanine rich DNA or RNA. The conformation and function of G-quadruplex are determined by a number of factors, including the number and polarity of nucleotide strands, the type of cations and the binding targets. Recent studies led to the discovery of additional advantageous attributes of G-quadruplex with the potential to be used in novel biosensors, such as improved ligand binding and unique folding properties. G-quadruplex based biosensor can detect various substances, such as metal ions, organic macromolecules, proteins and nucleic acids with improved affinity and specificity compared to standard biosensors. The recently developed G-quadruplex based biosensors include electrochemical and optical biosensors. A novel G-quadruplex based biosensors also show better performance and broader applications in the detection of a wide spectrum of pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19 disease. This review highlights the latest developments in the field of G-quadruplex based biosensors, with particular focus on the G-quadruplex sequences and recent applications and the potential of G-quadruplex based biosensors in SARS-CoV-2 detection.

Abstract
A novel photoelectrochemical immunosensor has been constructed for the determination of methylated RNA. MoS2 nanosheets with large specific area were employed as photoactive material, gold nanoparticles were used as signal amplification unit and immobilization matrix of 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid, anti-m6A antibody was adopted as methylated RNA recognition reagent, and poly(U) polymerase-mediated RNA chain extension and Ru(NH3)63+ were used as assisted signal amplification unit. With the sensitization effect of Ru(NH3)63+, the photoactivity of WS2 nanosheets was improved greatly, which also improved the sensitivity. Using visible-light excitation and ascorbic acid as electron donor, the sensitive determination of methylated RNA was achieved by monitoring the photocurrent change with different concentrations of methylated RNA. This photoelectrochemical immunosensor has a wide linear relationship with methylated RNA concentration from 0.05 to 35 nM under optimal experimental conditions. The low detection limit of 14.5 pM was realized based on 3σ criterion. In addition to the good selectivity, this sensor also presents high reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 1.4% for the photocurrent of seven electrodes. The applicability of the developed method was also investigated by detecting the level of methylated RNA in corn seedling leaves with and without sulfadiazine treatment. Graphical abstract A novel photoelectrochemical immunosensor was developed for methylated RNA detection using the photoactive material of MoS2 and poly(U) polymerase-mediated RNA chain extension.

Abstract
Developing monitoring technique for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is crucial due to the important role it plays in living cells. Here, a kind of biocompatible glutathione-modified CuGaS2/ZnS quantum dots (GSH-CGS/ZnS QDs) was used as a fluorescent substance and then fabricated "turn-off" fluorescent biosensor for detection of ALP by help of inner filter effect (IFE). Firstly, we prepared CuGaS2/ZnS (CGS/ZnS) QDs using solvothermal method and explored the efficient ligand (GSH) exchanges strategy for transferring oil-soluble CGS/ZnS QDs to aqueous phase. More importantly, we also explored the potential biological applications of the nanohybrid QDs. The obtained GSH-CGS/ZnS QDs emitted strong yellow fluorescence with the maximum excitation (400 nm) and emission (601 nm). Then, GSH-CGS/ZnS QDs were mixed with p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNPP) and ALP. PNPP could be hydrolyzed to p-nitrophenol (PNP) by help of catalysis of ALP, and the excitation spectrum of the GSH-CGS/ZnS QDs overlapped well with the absorption spectrum of PNP, so the fluorescence of GSH-CGS/ZnS QDs was initially quenched via the so-called "IFE". Finally, a novel "turn-off" biosensor for sensitive detection of ALP in the range of 0.05-10 U L -1(R2 = 0.98) with a detection limit of 0.01 U L-1 was successfully obtained. Results indicated that I-III-VI2 nanocrystals have great potential for their promising biomedical application.

Abstract
Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have attracted much attention as signal transducers in photoluminescence chemical/biological sensors. Herein, we employ bovine serum albumin/3-mercaptopropionic acid co-modified AuNCs as a fluorescence probe, Fe3+ as a quencher, and pyrophosphate as an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) substrate and Fe3+ chelator to design a novel biosensor for ALP detection, achieving a detection linear range of 0.8-16 U/L and a detection limit of 0.78 U/L. The developed method is successfully applied to the detection of ALP in human osteosarcoma cells and is shown to be suited for ALP inhibitor screening.

Abstract
In this work, a novel "signal-on" electrochemical peptide biosensor based on peptide-conjugated hemin/G-quadruplex (DNAzyme-peptide) hybrid and rosebud-like MoSe2@reduced graphene oxide (MoSe2@rGO) nanocomposite, was developed for detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Interestingly, the peptide not only served as recognition probe to detect PSA, but also acted as the enhancer to improve the enzyme activity of hemin/G4, which promoted the detection sensitivity. Up addition of PSA, Fe3O4-labeled DNAzyme-peptide probe was cleaved, followed by the magnetic separation. The cleaved DNAzyme-peptide was then captured onto the cysteine-modified electrode via the interaction between carboxyl groups of peptide and amino group of cysteine. A strong electrochemical signal was obtained from hemin and further was amplified by the enhanced electrocatalysis of DNAzyme-peptide. Compared to the original DNAzyme, DNAzyme-peptide exhibited more than 3-fold enhancement in signal amplification. And MoSe2@rGO amplified the electrochemical signal due to its good conductivity and large surface area. So the proposed strategy detected PSA down to 0.3 fg/mL, and it showed the advantages of simplicity, low cost by avoiding the use of expensive protein enzyme and additional electroactive species. Therefore, the proposed biosensor potentially provided a very effective tool for early diagnosis of cancer by the detection of PSA.

Abstract
Nanotechnology and nanomaterial based electrochemical biosensors (ECBs) have achieved great development in many fields, such as clinical diagnosis, food analysis, and environmental monitoring. Nowadays, the single-handed pursuit of sensitivity and accuracy cannot meet the demands of detection in many in situ and point-of-care (POC) circumstances. More and more attention has been focused on simplifying the operation procedure and reducing detection time, and thus no-wash assay has become one of the most effective ways for the continuous development of ECBs. However, there are many challenges to realize no-wash detection in the real analysis, such as redox interferences, multiple impurities, non-conducting protein macromolecules, etc. Furthermore, the complex detection circumstance in different application fields makes the realization of no-wash ECBs more complicated and difficult. Thanks to the updated nanotechnology and nanomaterials, in-depth analysis of the obstacles in the detection process and various methods for fabricating no-wash ECBs, most issues have been largely resolved. In this review, we have systematically analyzed the nanomaterial based design strategy of the state-of-the-art no-wash ECBs in the past few years. Following that, we summarized the challenges in the detection process of no-wash ECBs and their applications in different fields. Finally, based on the summary and analysis in this review, we also evaluated and discussed future prospects from the design to the application of ECBs.

Abstract
We propose a new fluorometric method for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) determination. This method is based on the regulation of enzymatically generated poly(thymine) for the preparation of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs). 2'-Deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate (dTTP) serves as the source for polymerization mediated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT). This process generates poly(thymine), which acts as the template for synthesis of fluorescent CuNPs. However, if ALP catalyzes the hydrolysis of dTTP, the TdT-mediated polymerization will be disabled. This prevents the formation of CuNPs and causes a drop in fluorescence. The findings were used to design a sensitive and selective fluorometric method for ALP determination. A linear response in the activity range from 0.1 to 20 U L-1 and a limit of quantification of 0.3 U L-1 were obtained. The results indicate that the proposed method can be successfully applied to ALP assay in spiked diluted serum. This demonstrates the method's reliability and practicability. Graphical abstract A fluoromoetric method for alkaline phosphatase assay has been developed based on regulation of enzymatically generated poly(thymine) as template for the formation of fluorescent CuNPs.

Abstract
An innovative approach based on a surface functional monomer-directing strategy for the construction of a sensitive and selective molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor for patulin recognition is described. A patulin imprinted platinum nanoparticle (PtNP)-coated poly(thionine) film was grown on a preformed thionine tailed surface of PtNP-nitrogen-doped graphene (NGE) by electropolymerization, which provided high capacity and fast kinetics to uptake patulin molecules. Thionine acted not only as a functional monomer for molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), but also as a signal indicator. Enhanced sensitivity was obtained by combining the excellent electric conductivity of PtNPs, NGE, and thionine with multisignal amplification. The designed sensor displayed excellent performance for patulin detection over the range of 0.002-2 ng mL-1 (R2 = 0.995) with a detection limit of 0.001 ng mL-1 for patulin. In addition, the resulting sensor showed good stability and high repeatability and selectivity. Furthermore, the feasibility of its applications has also been demonstrated in the analysis of real samples, providing novel tactics for the rational design of MIP-based electrochemical sensors to detect a growing number of deleterious substances.

Abstract
In his study, we report a fluorescence method for homogeneous detection of influenza A (H1N1) DNA sequence based on G-quadruplex-NMM complex and assistance-DNA (A-DNA) inhibition. The quadruplex-based functional DNA (QBF-DNA), composed of a complementary probe to the target H1N1 DNA sequence and G-rich fragment, was designed as the signal DNA. The A-DNA consisted of two parts, one part was complementary to target H1N1 DNA and the other part was complementary to the signal DNA. In the absence of target H1N1 DNA, the G-rich fragment of QBF-DNA can form G-quadruplex-NMM complex, which outputted a fluorescent signal. With the presence of target H1N1 DNA, QBF-DNA, and A-DNA can simultaneously hybridize with target H1N1 DNA to form double-helix structure. In this case, the A-DNA partially hybridized with the QBF-DNA, which inhibited the formation of G-quadruplex-NMM complex, leading to the decrease of fluorescent signal. Under the optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity was inversely proportional to the concentration of target H1N1 DNA over the range from 25 to 700 pmol/L with a detection limit of 8 pmol/L. In addition, the method is target specific and practicability, and would become a new diagnostic assay for H1N1 DNA sequence and other infectious diseases.

Abstract
A fluorimetric method is described for the determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. It is based on the use of polyethyleneimine-coated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs), which display an intense blue fluorescence peaking at 450 nm (under 375 nm excitation). ALP catalyzes the dephosphorylation of the thiophosphate amifostine to generate a thiol that binds to the AgNCs and causes its fluorescence to be quenched. Under the optimal experimental conditions, fluorescence linearly drops in the 0.08-2.0 U L-1 ALP activity range, and the limit of detection is 0.02 U L-1. The method was successfully applied to the determination of ALP activity in spiked human serum samples. Graphical abstract Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) catalyzes the degradation of amifostine with a generation a thiol product. The thiol quenches the fluorescence of silver nanoclusters, and a method for the detection of ALP down to 0.02 U L-1 was developed.

Abstract
Biosensors that can analyze a single drop of biological fluid can overcome limitations such as extraction volume from humans or animals, ethical problems, time, and cost. In this work, we have developed a highly sensitive electrochemical (EC) biosensor based on a nanowell array (NWA) for the detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a serum indicator of bone formation. The size of the electrode is 2 × 1 mm2 and has over 10 million nanowells (400 nm diameter) arranged uniformly on the electrode surface. For detecting ALP, anti-ALP was immobilized and oriented on the NWA surface using a self-assembled monolayer and protein G. EC impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to determine the amount of ALP in 10 μL of sample. The impedance was calibrated with ALP concentration. The NWA has a linear dynamic range from 1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) at 12 pg/mL. We used the sensor to measure the ALP in real mouse serum from 4, 10, and 20 weeks old mice and compared the results to the standard photometric assay. This work demonstrates the potential of EC NWA sensors to analyze a single drop of a real body fluid sample and to be developed for broad applications.

Abstract
A sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor for determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was constructed based on a photo-excited electron transfer strategy. Immobilization of CdTe quantum dots (QDs) on TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs), addition of iron (III) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in turn can effectively adjust the photocurrent response of TNAs under visible light irradiation due to a photo-excited electron transfer process, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity can be determined for its catalysis toward dephosphorylation of ATP. The preparation of CdTe QDs, construction of TNA/QD PEC biosensor and the mechanism of photo-excited electron transfer are investigated in the present work. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the TNA/QD PEC biosensor shows a low limits of detection (LODs) (0.05 U L-1) and limits of quantification detection (LOQs) (0.15 U L-1), wide linear range from 0.2 to 15 U L-1, and good selectivity towards ALP determination, which has been successfully applied for human serum analysis with good precision (RSD ≤ 5.4%) and high accuracy (recovery rate, 91-112%).

Abstract
By coupling tyrosinase (Tyr) and β-galactosidase (Gal) into one redox-cycling scheme, an enzyme cascade-based electrochemical immunosensor with boosted selectivity and sensitivity was constructed using polydopamine-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs-PDA) nanohybrid modified electrodes. The MWCNTs-PDA nanohybrid presented a 5 times enhanced capability for antibody conjugation, which was responsible for signal amplification. In the proposed enzyme cascade scheme, Gal was captured on the immunosensor surface by a sandwiched immunoreaction, which catalyzed phenyl β-d-galactopyranoside (P-GP) into phenol based on a hydrolysis reaction. The resulting phenol was used as a substrate of Tyr, which was catalyzed to catechol and subsequently to o-quinone. The o-quinone was then electrochemically reduced to catechol, forming a redox cycle between catechol and o-quinone. The enzyme cascade-based immunoassay not only significantly amplified the electrochemical signal, but also led to a high selectivity. Taking the detection of CEA as an example, the enzyme cascade-based electrochemical immunosensor showed a detectable range of 10 pg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1 and a low detection limit of 8.39 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3), which was superior/comparable to those using other methodologies in previous reports. The selectivity of the enzyme cascade-based immunosensor was 44-80% higher than that of a single enzyme-based immunosensor. This work shows great potential of the coupling enzyme cascade in immunosensing for clinical diagnosis with boosted selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
In this work, a new "signal-on" split-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detection was successfully constructed using p-type Cu-doped Zn0.3Cd0.7S as the photosensitive semiconductor material and target-triggered rolling circle amplification (RCA) for signal amplification. The signal derived from Cu-doped Zn0.3Cd0.7S was amplified by hemin/G-quadruplex. Upon target PSA introduction, the aptamer-primer probe (apt-pri) was captured by capture antibody-conjugated magnetic bead (MB-mAb) to form the sandwiched MB-mAb/PSA/apt-pri. The complex could initiate the RCA reaction to produce a long single-stranded DNA that provided binding sites for G-rich DNA and to form long single-stranded DNA/G-quadruplex/hemin. Upon the addition of exonuclease III (Exo III), the hemin/G-quadruplex immobilized on the RCA long product could be released by the digestion of Exo III. The hemin/G-quadruplex complexes in this study were used as efficient electron acceptors to neutralize the photoelectrons generated from the semiconductor and hindered the recombination of charges, thus enhancing the photocurrent. Under the optimum conditions, the developed sensing system displayed a good analytical performance with a linear range of 0.05-40 ng mL-1 PSA and a detection limit of 16.3 pg mL-1. Furthermore, good selectivity, high anti-interference ability, satisfactory reproducibility, and good accuracy were also achieved. These prominent analytical properties revealed that our strategy might be a potential and reliable tool for the detection of PSA.
