Abstract
Pesticides, chemical substances extensively employed in agriculture to optimize crop yields, pose potential risks to human and environmental health. Consequently, regulatory frameworks are in place to restrict pesticide residue concentrations in water intended for human consumption. These regulations are implemented to safeguard consumer safety and mitigate any adverse effects on the environment and public health. Although gas chromatography- and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS and LC-MS) are highly efficient techniques for pesticide quantification, their use is not suitable for real-time monitoring due to the need for sophisticated laboratory pretreatment of samples prior to analysis. Since they would enable analyte detection with selectivity and sensitivity without sample pretreatment, biosensors appear as a promising alternative. These consist of a bioreceptor allowing for specific recognition of the target and of a detection platform, which translates the biological interaction into a measurable signal. As early detection systems remain urgently needed to promptly alert and act in case of pollution, we review here the biosensors described in the literature for pesticide detection to advance their development for use in the field.

Abstract
Aptamers are functional single-stranded oligonucleotide fragments isolated from randomized libraries by Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX), exhibiting excellent affinity and specificity toward targets. Compared with traditional antibody reagents, aptamers display many desirable properties, such as low variation and high flexibility, and they are suitable for artificial and large-scale synthesis. These advantages make aptamers have a broad application potential ranging from biosensors, bioimaging to therapeutics and other areas of application. However, the overall performance of aptamer pre-selected by SELEX screening is far from being satisfactory. To improve aptamer performance and applicability, various post-SELEX optimization methods have been developed in the last decade. In this review, we first discuss the key factors that influence the performance or properties of aptamers, and then we summarize the key strategies of post-SELEX optimization which have been successfully used to improve aptamer performance, such as truncation, extension, mutagenesis and modification, splitting, and multivalent integration. This review shall provide a comprehensive summary and discussion of post-SELEX optimization methods developed in recent years. Moreover, by discussing the mechanism of each approach, we highlight the importance of choosing the proper method to perform post-SELEX optimization.

Abstract
Food security is a global issue, since it is closely related to human health. Antibiotics play a significant role in animal husbandry owing to their desirable broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. However, irrational use of antibiotics has caused serious environmental pollution and food safety problems; thus, the on-site detection of antibiotics is in high demand in environmental analysis and food safety assessment. Aptamer-based sensors are simple to use, accurate, inexpensive, selective, and are suitable for detecting antibiotics for environmental and food safety analysis. This review summarizes the recent advances in aptamer-based electrochemical, fluorescent, and colorimetric sensors for antibiotics detection. The review focuses on the detection principles of different aptamer sensors and recent achievements in developing electrochemical, fluorescent, and colorimetric aptamer sensors. The advantages and disadvantages of different sensors, current challenges, and future trends of aptamer-based sensors are also discussed.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 293:122451.

Abstract
Development of high-performance fluorescence sensors for pesticide is highly urgent but remains a grand challenge. It is due to that most of known fluorescence sensors detect pesticides based on enzyme-inhibited strategy, which requires high-price cholinesterase, suffers from serious interference of reductive materials, and can't difference pesticides with each other; the known aptamer-based fluorescence ones entail tool enzymes or nanomaterials to transducer/amplify the signal and demand signalers to be tagged in nucleic acid, which are expensive and intricate. Herein, we develop a novel aptamer-based fluorescence system for label-free, enzyme-free and highly sensitive detection of pesticide (profenofos) based on target-initiated hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-assisted signal amplification and specific intercalation of N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (NMM) in G-quadruplex DNA. Hairpin probe ON1 recognizes profenofos to generate profenofos@ON1 complex, which switches the HCR to yield multiple G-quadruplex DNA, consequently making large numbers of NMM be locked. In comparison with profenofos absence, a sharply improved fluorescence signal was recorded and it was dependent on profenofos dose. Hence, label-free, enzyme-free and highly sensitive detection of profenofos is achieved with limit of detection of 0.085 nM, which compared favorably with or superior to those of known fluorescence methods. Furthermore, the present method was applied to determine the profenofos residue in rice with agreeable result, and will provide more valuable information for guaranteeing the pesticide-related food safety.

Abstract
A new Fe metal-organic framework-loaded liquid crystal 4-octoxybenzoic acid (FeMOF@OCTB) nanosol was synthesized using 1,3,5-phthalic acid, ferrous sulfate, and OCTB as precursors. The FeMOF@OCTB exhibits good stability and strong catalytic effect for the polyethylene glycol 400-Ag (I) indicator reaction, which was evaluated rapidly by the slope procedure. The generated silver nanoparticles have a strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect and a surface plasmon resonance absorption (Abs) peak at 420 nm. This new bimodal nanosilver indicator reaction was coupled with the isocarbophos (IPS)-aptamer (Apt) reaction. A FeMOF@OCTB nanocatalytic amplified-SERS/Abs bimodal Apt assay for IPS was established. The SERS assay can detect IPS in the concentration range 0.02-1.2 nM, with a detection limit of 0.010 nM. It has been applied to the determination of IPS in rice samples. The relative standard deviation was 4.4-5.8%, and the recovery was 97.7-104%. An Ag nanosol plasmon SERS/Abs dimode aptamer assay was fabricated for trace isocarbophos, based on highly catalysis MOF@OCTB nanoenzyme.

Abstract
There has been a rise in pesticide use as a result of the growing industrialization of agriculture. Organophosphorus pesticides have been widely applied as agricultural and domestic pest control agents for nearly five decades, and they remain as health and environmental hazards in water supplies, vegetables, fruits, and processed foods causing serious foodborne illness. Thus, the rapid and reliable detection of these harmful organophosphorus toxins with excellent sensitivity and selectivity is of utmost importance. Aptasensors are biosensors based on aptamers, which exhibit exceptional recognition capability for a variety of targets. Aptasensors offer numerous advantages over conventional approaches, including increased sensitivity, selectivity, design flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. As a result, interest in developing aptasensors continues to expand. This paper discusses the historical and modern advancements of aptasensors through the use of nanotechnology to enhance the signal, resulting in high sensitivity and detection accuracy. More importantly, this review summarizes the principles and strategies underlying different organophosphorus aptasensors, including electrochemical, electrochemiluminescent, fluorescent, and colorimetric ones.

Abstract
In this work, we reported a rapid and sensitive fluorescence assay in homogenous solution for detecting organophosphorus pesticides by using tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA)-labeled aptamer and its complementary DNA (cDNA) with extended guanine (G) bases. The hybridization of cDNA and aptamer drew TAMRA close to repeated G bases, then the fluorescence of TAMRA was quenched by G bases due to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET). Upon introducing the pesticide target, the aptamer bound to pesticide instead of cDNA because of the competition between pesticide and cDNA. Thus, the TAMRA departed from G bases, resulting in fluorescence recovery of TAMRA. Under optimal conditions, the limits of detection for phorate, profenofos, isocarbophos, and omethoate were 0.333, 0.167, 0.267, and 0.333 µg/L, respectively. The method was also used in the analysis of profenofos in vegetables. Our fluorescence design was simple, rapid, and highly sensitive, which provided a means for monitoring the safety of agricultural products.

Abstract
The detection of miRNA shows great promise in disease diagnosis. In this work, a ratiometric fluorescent biosensor based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes@gold nanoclusters (MWCNTs@Au NCs) and duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted signal amplification was fabricated for miRNA detection. Colorectal cancer (CRC)-associated miR-92a-3p extracted from exosomes was selected as the target. MWCNTs@Au NCs performs the dual functions of fluorescence quencher and internal fluorescence reference. In the absence of miR-92a-3p, an Atto-425-modified single-stranded DNA probe is adsorbed on MWCNTs@Au NCs, resulting in the quenching of Atto-425. In the presence of miR-92a-3p, the duplex is formed by hybridization of the probe and miR-92a-3p and leaves the MWCNTs@Au NCs, resulting in the fluorescence recovery of Atto-425. DSN can cleave the probe and result in the release of miR-92a-3p. The released miR-92a-3p can hybridize with other probes to form a signal amplification cycle. The fluorescence of MWCNTs@Au NCs remains stable and constitutes a ratiometric fluorescence system with that of Atto-425. A detection concentration interval of 0.1–10 pM and a limit of detection of 31 fM was obtained under optimized measurement conditions. In addition, the accuracy of the biosensor was validated by detecting the concentration of miR-92a-3p extracted from clinical exosome samples.

Screening of aptamers with excellent performance is a prerequisite for successfully constructing biosensors, while further tailoring of aptamers with enhanced activity greatly improved the assay performance. Firstly, this paper reviewed the advanced screening strategies for pesticides aptamers, including immobilization screening that preserves the native structures of targets, non-immobilized screening based on nanomaterials, capillary electrophoresis-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (CE-SELEX), virtual screening in silico, high-throughput selection, and rational secondary library generation methods, which contributed significantly to improve the success rate of screening, reduce the screening time, and ensure aptamer binding affinity. Secondly, the precise tailoring strategies for pesticides aptamers were modularly elaborated, containing deletion, splitting, elongation, and fusion, which provided various advantages like cost-efficiency, enhanced binding affinity, and new derived functional motifs. Thirdly, the developed aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) for pesticide detection were systematically reviewed according to the different signal output modes. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of pesticide detection are discussed comprehensively.

Abstract
In the present review, numerous experimental and theoretical data describing the properties of non-canonical DNA structures (NSs) are analyzed. NSs (G-quadruplex, i-motif, hairpin, and triplex) play an important role in epigenetic processes (including the genetic variability of viruses), are prone to energetically low-cost conformational transformations and can very effectively be used in the design of nanoscale devices. Numerous experimental data have been analyzed in connection with the so-called oligonucleotides-transformers (nucleotide sequences that able to fold not only into one, but also into several NSs). These sequences were recently predicted by our calculations using automata and graph theories ("Dafna" algorithm). Possible applications of the oligonucleotides-transformers in nanoengineering and genetic editing of organisms are considered.

Abstract
The extensive use of organophosphorus pesticides in agriculture poses a high risk to human health and has boosted the demands for developing sensitive monitoring methods. Herein, we developed a facile and sensitive method for isocarbophos detection based on the remarkable fluorescence enhancement of pyrene during host-guest interaction of β-cyclodextrin polymer (β-CDP) and pyrene. The 3'-pyrene-labeled isocarbophos aptamer could be cleaved by exonuclease I to obtain free pyrene that was tagged on mononucleotides, which could enter the hydrophobic cavity of β-CDP, resulting in a prominent fluorescence enhancement. While the target isocarbophos was added, aptamer could undergo a conformational change into a hairpin complex, which prevented the cleavage and host-guest interaction because of the steric hindrance, leading to a weak fluorescence. The isocarbophos has been sensitively and selectively analyzed by detecting the system fluorescence intensity with a detection limit as low as 1.2 μg/L. In addition, we have verified the ability of our proposed method in real sample detection from fruit extract.

Abstract
G-quadruplex (G4) is a very interesting DNA structure, commonly associated with cancer and its treatment. With flexible binding ability, G4 has been extended as a significant component in biosensors. On account of its simple operation, high sensitivity and low cost, G4-based biosensors have attracted considerable interest for the detection of food contaminants. In this review, research published in recent 5 years is collated from a principle perspective, that is target recognition and signal transduction. Contaminants with G4 binding capacity are illustrated, emerging G4-based biosensors including colorimetric, electrochemical and fluorescent sensors are also elaborated. The current review indicates that G4 has provided an efficient and effective solution for the rapid detection of food contaminants. A distinctive feature of G4 as recognition unit is the simple composition, but the selectivity is still unsatisfactory. As signal reporter, G4/hemin DNAzyme has not only achieved amplified signals, but also enabled visualized detection, which offers great potential for on-site measurement. With improved selectivity and visualized signal, the combination of aptamer and G4 seems to be an ideal strategy. This promising combination should be developed for the real-time monitor of multiple contaminants in food matrix.

Abstract
A novel label-free and enzyme-free detection strategy has been developed for the electrochemical biosensor detection of isocarbophos (ICP) using UiO-66-NH2 and aptamer as the signal transducers. In this work, the ICP aptamers were attached to UiO-66-NH2 through physical mixing and chemical combination methods. In the presence of ICP, the aptamers could undergo conformational change and bind to them, which prevent the electron transfer to the surface of electrode. By comparing the two conjunction approaches of aptasensors, these proposed strategies could selectively and sensitively detect ICP with a detection limit of 6 ng mL-1 (20.74 nM) and 0.9 ng mL-1 (3.11 nM). Furthermore, we have also demonstrated the capability of this strategy in the detection of ICP in real samples from vegetable and fruit extract, indicating the potential application of this strategy in food safety issues.

Abstract
Excessive use of pesticides can cause contamination of the environment and agricultural products that are directly threatening human life and health. Therefore, in the process of food safety supervision, it is crucial to conduct sensitive and rapid detection of pesticide residues. The recognition element is the vital component of sensors and methods for fast testing pesticide residues in food. Improper recognition elements may lead to defects of testing methods, such as poor stability, low sensitivity, high economic costs, and waste of time. We can use the molecular biological technique to address these challenges as a good strategy for recognition element production and modification. Herein, we review the molecular biological methods of five specific recognition elements, including aptamers, genetic engineering antibodies, DNAzymes, genetically engineered enzymes, and whole-cell-based biosensors. In addition, the application of these identification elements combined with biosensor and immunoassay methods in actual detection was also discussed. The purpose of this review was to provide a valuable reference for further development of rapid detection methods for pesticide residues.

Recent developments in non-enzymatic (bio)sensors for detection of pesticide residues: Focusing on antibody, aptamer and molecularly imprinted polymer. Talanta 2021; 232:122397.

Abstract
The utilization of pesticides has been increased in recent years due to population growth and increasing urbanization. The constant use of pesticides has resulted in contamination of the environment and agricultural products with serious human health concerns associated with their use. Therefore, detection and quantification of pesticides by sensitive and selective methods is highly required in food safety management. Traditional detection methods cannot realize highly sensitive, selective and on-site detection, which limits their application. (Bio)sensors and (bio)assays are emerging tools with unique properties such as rapid, sensitive, efficient and portable detection. Among them, enzyme-based biosensors have been widely developed and some have even been commercialized. However, they suffer from some limitations such as instability and low reproducibility that originate from the nature of enzyme. Non-enzymatic (bio)sensors overcome the current limitations of enzyme-based detection methods and provide great potential for efficient, highly sensitive and low-cost detection assays using smart and miniaturized devices. In this study, we provide an overview of recent advances and new trends in optical and electrochemical non-enzymatic (bio)sensors for the detection of pesticides by focusing on antibody, aptamer and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as recognition elements. Performance, advantages and drawbacks of the developed (bio)sensors are discussed well. The main advantage these recognition elements is their stability over an extended period of time compared to the enzymes. Furthermore, the combination of nanomaterials in these (bio)sensors can significantly improve their performance.

Abstract
Engineered nanopipette tools have recently emerged as a powerful approach for electrochemical nanosensing, which has major implications in both fundamental biological research and biomedical applications. Herein, we describe a generic method of target-triggered assembly of aptamers in a nanopipette for nanosensing, which is exemplified by sensitive and rapid electrochemical single-cell analysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a ubiquitous energy source in life and important signaling molecules in many physiological processes. Specifically, a layer of thiolated aptamers is immobilized onto a Au-coated interior wall of a nanopipette tip. With backfilled pairing aptamers, the engineered nanopipette is then used for probing intracellular ATP via the ATP-dependent linkage of the split aptamers. Due to the higher surface charge density from the aptamer assembly, the nanosensor would exhibit an enhanced rectification signal. Besides, this ATP-responsive nanopipette tool possesses excellent selectivity and stability as well as high recyclability. This work provides a practical single-cell nanosensor capable of intracellular ATP analysis. More generally, integrated with other split recognition elements, the proposed mechanism could serve as a viable basis for addressing many other important biological species.

Abstract
Contamination by pesticides in the food chain and the environment is a worldwide problem that needs to be actively monitored to ensure safety. Unfortunately, standard pesticide analysis based on mass spectrometry takes a lot of time, money and effort. Thus, simple, reliable, cost-effective and field applicable methods for pesticide detection have been actively developed. One of the most promising technologies is an aptamer-based biosensor or so-called aptasensor. It utilizes aptamers, short single-stranded DNAs or RNAs, as pesticide recognition elements to integrate with various innovative biosensing technologies for specific and sensitive detection of pesticide residues. Several platforms for aptasensors have been dynamically established, such as colorimetry, fluorometry, electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and so forth. Each platform has both advantages and disadvantages depending on the purpose of use and readiness of technology. For example, colorimetric-based aptasensors are more affordable than others because of the simplicity of fabrication and resource requirements. Electrochemical-based aptasensors have mainly shown better sensitivity than others with exceedingly low detection limits. This paper critically reviews the progression of pesticide aptasensors throughout the development process, including the selection, characterization and modification of aptamers, the conceptual frameworks of integrating aptamers and biosensors, the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to end users) criteria of different platforms and the future outlook.

Abstract
In this study, we quantitatively detected adsorption and desorption of DNA molecules that competed with sodium cholate (SC) molecules on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by fluorescence spectroscopy. In previous studies, competitive adsorption and/or replacement were studied based on techniques such as near-infrared (NIR) absorbance and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy of SWNTs. In those studies, adsorption of organic molecules was detected as spectral changes in SWNTs, but not in organic molecules. In this study, we employed fluorescent-labeled DNA (Fc-DNA) to detect competitive adsorption through quenching of fluorescent dyes that were attached to DNA molecules. Through this approach, the adsorption behaviors of DNA molecules could be directly determined. Hence, we found that Fc-DNA molecules adsorbed on SWNT surfaces that were pre-wrapped with SC when the SC concentration was reduced. However, when SC concentrations recovered after three days of incubation, detachment of Fc-DNA molecules was observed. In addition, our method could be applied to evaluate the adsorption of fluorescent dyes on SWNT surfaces instead of DNA molecules. Hence, our method is effective in studying competitive adsorption of organic molecules on SWNT surfaces. The obtained information is complementary to that obtained from NIR spectroscopy of SWNTs.

Abstract
Numerous nanomaterials have been utilized for novel biosensors with sensitivity and selectivity in the last decades due to their intrinsic unique properties. Herein, a facile fluorescence method for nucleic acid detection was developed by employing TiO2 nanowires (NWs) as the sensing platform. The quenching effect of TiO2 NWs to fluorophore-labelled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was found to be more significant than that to fluorophore-labelled double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) or triplex DNA probes. More importantly, the whole quenching process was also fast since it just took about ten minutes to reach the equilibrium. Based on the different affinities of TiO2 NWs to ssDNA, dsDNA and triplex DNA probes, the sequence-specific nucleic acids were detected with sensitivity and specificity. Further investigation has demonstrated that the quenching efficiency of TiO2 NWs to long ssDNA was apparently superior than that to short ssDNA. Moreover, the fluorescence from various ssDNA probes labelled with a wide spectrum of fluorescent dyes could also be quenched by TiO2 NWs. These inspiring results reveal that TiO2 NWs could be an excellent universal nanoquencher used in the next-generation biosensors.
