Abstract
Based on DNA bio-dots-induced aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), a methionine (Met) photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor with CS-GSH-CuNCs/TiO2 NPs as the photoelectric conversion element and AuNPs as the specific recognition element was constructed. First, a TiO2 NPs/ITO electrode and CS-GSH-CuNCs were prepared, and then the CS-GSH-CuNCs/TiO2 NPs/ITO photosensitive electrode was obtained by self-assembly. Next, DNA bio-dots were modified to the upper surface of the electrode using a coupling reaction to assemble the DNA bio-dots/CS-GSH-CuNCs/TiO2 NPs electrode. Amino-rich DNA bio-dots were used to induce the aggregation of AuNPs on the electrode surface via Au-N interactions and prepare the AuNPs/DNA bio-dots/CS-GSH-CuNCs/TiO2 NPs electrode. Due to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between CS-GSH-CuNCs and AuNPs, the complexation chance of electron-hole (e--h+) pair in CS-GSH-CuNCs increased, which, in turn, led to a decrease in photocurrent intensity. When Met was present, AuNPs aggregated on the electrode surface were shed and bound to Met since the Au-S interaction is stronger than the Au-N interaction, resulting in the recovery of the photocurrent signal. Under optimal conditions, the photocurrent intensity of the PEC sensor showed good linearity with the logarithm of Met concentration in the range of 25.0 nmol/L-10.0 μmol/L with the limit of detection (LOD) of 5.1 nmol/L (S/N = 3, n = 10).

Ziyatdinova G, Gimadutdinova L. Recent Advances in Electrochemical Sensors for Sulfur-Containing Antioxidants. MICROMACHINES 2023; 14:1440. [PMID: 37512751 PMCID: PMC10384414 DOI: 10.3390/mi14071440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
Sulfur-containing antioxidants are an important part of the antioxidant defense systems in living organisms under the frame of a thiol-disulfide equilibrium. Among them, l-cysteine, l-homocysteine, l-methionine, glutathione, and α-lipoic acid are the most typical representatives. Their actions in living systems are briefly discussed. Being electroactive, sulfur-containing antioxidants are interesting analytes to be determined using various types of electrochemical sensors. Attention is paid to the chemically modified electrodes with various nanostructured coverages. The analytical capabilities of electrochemical sensors for sulfur-containing antioxidant quantification are summarized and discussed. The data are summarized and presented on the basis of the electrode surface modifier applied, i.e., carbon nanomaterials, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) and nanostructures, organic mediators, polymeric coverage, and mixed modifiers. The combination of various types of nanomaterials provides a wider linear dynamic range, lower limits of detection, and higher selectivity in comparison to bare electrodes and sensors based on the one type of surface modifier. The perspective of the combination of chromatography with electrochemical detection providing the possibility for simultaneous determination of sulfur-containing antioxidants in a complex matrix has also been discussed.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit several unique physicochemical properties, including redox activity, surface plasmon resonance, ability to quench fluorescence, biocompatibility, or a high surface-to-volume ratio. They are being increasingly used in analysis and preconcentration of thiol containing compounds, because they are able to spontaneously form a stable Au/Ag/Cu-S dative bond. They thus find wide application in environmental and particularly in medical science, especially in the analysis of biological thiols, the endogenous compounds that play a significant role in many biological systems. In this review article, we provide an overview of various types of NPs that have been applied in analysis and preconcentration of biological thiols, mainly in human biological fluids. We first discuss shortly the types of NPs and their synthesis, properties, and their ability to interact with thiol compounds. Then we outline the sample preconcentration and analysis methods that were used for this purpose with special emphasis on optical, electrochemical, and separation techniques.

Abstract
A convenient, fast, sensitive and highly selective fluorescence sensor for the detection of glutathione (GSH) based on DNA derived bio-dots (DNA bio-dots)/polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles was constructed. The fluorescent switch of DNA bio-dots was induced to turn off because of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) reactions between DNA bio-dots and PDA. The presence of GSH blocked the spontaneous oxidative polymerization of dopamine (DA) to PDA, leading the fluorescent switch of DNA bio-dots to be "turned on". The degree of fluorescence recovery of DNA bio-dots is linearly correlated with the concentration of GSH within the range of 1.00-100 μmol L-1, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.31 μmol L-1 (S/N = 3, n = 9). Furthermore, the fluorescence sensor was successfully used to quantify GSH in human urine and glutathione whitening power, indicating the fluorescence sensor has potential in the detection of human body fluids and pharmaceutical preparations.

Abstract
Monitoring human health for early detection of disease conditions or health disorders is of major clinical importance for maintaining a healthy life. Sensors are small devices employed for qualitative and quantitative determination of various analytes by monitoring their properties using a certain transduction method. A "real-time" biosensor includes a biological recognition receptor (such as an antibody, enzyme, nucleic acid or whole cell) and a transducer to convert the biological binding event to a detectable signal, which is read out indicating both the presence and concentration of the analyte molecule. A wide range of specific analytes with biomedical significance at ultralow concentration can be sensitively detected. In nano(bio)sensors, nanoparticles (NPs) are incorporated into the (bio)sensor design by attachment to the suitably modified platforms. For this purpose, metal nanoparticles have many advantageous properties making them useful in the transducer component of the (bio)sensors. Gold, silver and platinum NPs have been the most popular ones, each form of these metallic NPs exhibiting special surface and interface features, which significantly improve the biocompatibility and transduction of the (bio)sensor compared to the same process in the absence of these NPs. This comprehensive review is focused on the main types of NPs used for electrochemical (bio)sensors design, especially screen-printed electrodes, with their specific medical application due to their improved analytical performances and miniaturized form. Other advantages such as supporting real-time decision and rapid manipulation are pointed out. A special attention is paid to carbon-based nanomaterials (especially carbon nanotubes and graphene), used by themselves or decorated with metal nanoparticles, with excellent features such as high surface area, excellent conductivity, effective catalytic properties and biocompatibility, which confer to these hybrid nanocomposites a wide biomedical applicability.

Abstract
The development of nanoparticle research has grown considerably in recent years. One of the reasons for the considerable current interest in nanoparticles is because such materials frequently display unusual physical (structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical) and chemical (catalytic) properties. The development of nanomaterials is of interest to the scientific community and industrial companies. Different methods (physical, chemical, and biological) allow their manufacture. In particular, a major effort has been devoted to the development and improvement of synthesis methods in order to obtain nano-objects of controlled size and shape, a necessary pre-requisite to their organization, and to the study of their intrinsic and collective properties. Reviews play an important role in keeping interested parties up to date on the current state of the research in any academic field. This review aims to focus on the development of nanoparticles and stabilization with adsorbed/covalently attached ligands in solution phase since these factors are deeply related to the origins of the particles' stability, the media to which they are exposed, and the involved applications. This study also examines the factors that influence the synthesis of nanoparticles. It aims to provide an overview of existing electrochemical sensors, particularly those that operate with nanomaterial-based electrode modifications for p-nitroaniline (PNA) determination and to propose guidelines for related research and development activities. Emphasis was placed on the procedure for the analysis of PNA in water samples using nanosilver-based electrodes.

Abstract
In this study, a facile one step solvo-thermal procedure has been employed in generating magnetite-silver core-shell nanocomposites (AgNPs@ Fe3O4) with superior peroxidase-like catalytic property than bare magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4). The composites were characterized using different techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRA). In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the synthesized composites were able to oxidize the colorless o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to a yellow colour 2, 3-diaminophenazine (DAP) with a better peroxidase-like activity than Fe3O4 alone. The obtained Km value of AgNPs@ Fe3O4 with H2O2 and OPD substrates are 28.0 mM and 2.91 mM respectively. These are substantially lower than previously reported values and indicate the strong binding affinity of the substrates towards AgNPs@ Fe3O4 nanocomposites. Based on the obstruction activity of cysteine on the peroxidase-like catalytic property of the nanocomposites, a sensor was developed for detection of cystein with a limit of detection as low as 87 nM and a wider range of linearity. The sensor also exhibited excellent selectivity against potentially interfering molecules.
