Abstract
Dopamine is one of the significant neurotransmitters and its monitoring in biological fluids is a critical issue in healthcare and modern biomedical technology. Here, we have developed a dopamine biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR). For this purpose, the carboxymethyl dextran SPR chip was used as a surface to immobilize laccase as a bioaffinity recognition element. Data analysis exhibited that the acidic pH value is the optimal condition for dopamine interaction. Calculated kinetic affinity (KD) (48,545 nM), obtained from a molecular docking study, showed strong association of dopamine with the active site of laccase. The biosensor exhibited a linearity from 0.01 to 189 μg/ml and a lower detection limit of 0.1 ng/ml (signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) = 3) that is significantly higher than the most direct dopamine detecting sensors reported so far. Experiments for specificity in the presence of compounds that can co-exist with dopamine detection such as ascorbic acid, urea and L-dopa showed no significant interference. The current dopamine biosensor with high sensitivity and specificity, represent a novel detection tool that offers a label-free, simple procedure and cost effective monitoring system.

Abstract
The unusual d-amino acids (d-AAs), as the counter enantiomer of usual l-amino acids (l-AAs), have evoked increasing attention because of their potential relevance with diseases. Accordingly, it is essential to establish sensitive and selective detection methods for d-AAs without the interferences from l-AAs. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique is efficacious for the detection of molecules but routinely ineffective in enantiomeric differentiation. d-Proline (d-Pro) and d-alanine (d-Ala) are regarded as biomarkers of gastric cancer. Herein, Raman-active boronate modified SERS chips are constructed to develop a d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO)-mediated cascade reaction-based SERS enantioselective assay for d-Pro and d-Ala. The principle is that DAAO selectively catalyzes the deamination of d-Pro and d-Ala, and the produced H2O2 oxidizes boronate to present a new SERS peak at 883 cm-1 for quantitative analysis in a ratiometric way. A linear range from 20 to 400 μmol/L and a limit of detection down to 14.8 μmol/L are reached. In addition, interferences from l-AAs and many other possible species coexisting in biofluids with the detection of d-Pro and d-Ala are ignorable. Enzyme-mediated cascade reaction-based SERS chips are further utilized for saliva sample analysis, and the total levels of d-Pro and d-Ala in salivary samples from gastric cancer patients are much higher than those of healthy persons. This work provides a solution for SERS enantioselective analysis and noninvasive screening chiral biomolecules for disease diagnosis.

Abstract
We experimentally demonstrated polarization multiplexing schemes in a tilted fiber grating (TFBG) to achieve polarization-independent fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. The first used two orthogonal polarized lights separated by a polarization beam splitter (PBS) that are p-polarized in polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) and precisely aligned with the tilted grating plane, so as to achieve the transmission of p-polarized light in two opposite directions of the Au-coated TFBG to excite SPR. Alternatively, polarization multiplexing was also achieved by exploring two polarization components to achieve the SPR effect through a Faraday rotator mirror (FRM). The SPR reflection spectra are polarization-independent of the light source and any perturbations to fibers, which are explained by the superposition of p- and s-polarized transmission spectra in equal proportions. The spectrum optimization is presented to reduce the proportion of the s-polarization component. A polarization-independent TFBG-based SPR refractive index (RI) sensor with a wavelength sensitivity of 555.14 nm/RIU and an amplitude sensitivity of 1724.92 dB/RIU for small changes is obtained, exhibiting unique advantages of minimizing the polarization alterations by mechanical perturbations.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) comprises several surface-sensitive techniques that enable the trace and ultra-trace detection of various analytes through affinity pairing. Although enabling label-free, sensitive detection and real-time monitoring, several issues remain to be addressed, such as poor stability, non-specific adsorption and the loss of operational activity of biomolecules. In this review, the progress over sensor modification, immobilization techniques and novel 2D nanomaterials, gold nanostructures and magnetic nanoparticles for signal amplification is discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of each design strategy will be provided together with some of the recent achievements.

Abstract
Benzyl alcohol (BnOH) is a widely-used preservative in a variety of cosmetics, but the excess addition (≥1.0 %) may cause strong symptoms such as nausea, gastrointestinal irritation, convulsion, even death, making it crucial to monitor and control the addition quantity. Herein, we have developed a test-strip-like BnOH detection method via tailoring a galactose oxidase (GOase) towards BnOH oxidation and preparing a self-powered electrochromic strip for BnOH concentration visualization. A double-substituted GOase variant (Y329S/R330F), on the basis of the reported GOase M1 , has been obtained by semi-rational design with a 24.6-fold improved activity towards BnOH compared to GOase M1 . The GOase Y329S/R330F electrode has a response to BnOH with a linear range of 0.04 to 3.25 mM (R2 =0.9985), a sensitivity of 122.78 μA mM-1 cm-2 , and a detection limit of 0.03 mM (S/N=3). Coupling an electrochromic Prussian blue (PB) cathode helps the successful sensing visualization without any further power supply. The present sensing is more convenient and user-friendly than the generally used gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and brings a more accessible solution to the field of quality controlling.

Abstract
Chiral analysis is of significant importance for living organisms since chirality is the fundamental phenomenon in nature. In this work, a bifunctional electrochemiluminescent (ECL) platform is constructed for chiral discrimination and chiral sensing. 3-Mercaptopropionic acid-functionalized CdSe quantum dots (CdSe QDs) are combined with aminated TiO2 nanotubes (NH2-TiNTs) via amidation. The resultant CdSe QDs/TiNTs display significantly enhanced ECL signals due to the synergistic effect between CdSe QDs and TiNTs, which are then used for the chiral discrimination of the isomers of nine chiral amino acids (AAs) in the presence of d-AA oxidase (DAAO). DAAO can selectively catalyze the oxidation of d-AAs to generate H2O2, which acts as the coreaction reagent and triggers the ECL signals of CdSe QDs/TiNTs, and thus, the isomers of the nine chiral AAs can be effectively discriminated. In addition, the as-constructed ECL platform can also be used for the sensitive detection of d-AAs in the presence of DAAO with a wide linear range and a low limit of detection. These findings suggest that the CdSe QDs/TiNTs can work as a bifunctional ECL platform (chiral discrimination and chiral sensing), which might be an advanced ECL platform for biomedical applications.
