Abstract
The conjugation of DNA molecules with metal or metal-containing nanoparticles (M/MC NPs) has resulted in a number of new hybrid materials, enabling a diverse range of novel biological applications in nanomaterial assembly, biosensor development, and drug/gene delivery. In such materials, the molecular recognition, gene therapeutic, and structure-directing functions of DNA molecules are coupled with M/MC NPs. In turn, the M/MC NPs have optical, catalytic, pore structure, or photodynamic/photothermal properties, which are beneficial for sensing, theranostic, and drug loading applications. This review focuses on the different DNA functionalization protocols available for M/MC NPs, including gold NPs, upconversion NPs, metal-organic frameworks, metal oxide NPs and quantum dots. The biological applications of DNA-functionalized M/MC NPs in the treatment or diagnosis of cancers are discussed in detail.

Abstract
In this work, a heterojunction composed of a TiO2 nanosheet and layered Ti3C2 was synthesized by directly growing TiO2 in Ti3C2 MXene. Compared with pure TiO2, TiO2/Ti3C2 composites had increased surface area, and a light absorption range that extended from ultraviolet to visible light, which greatly extended the life of photogenerated carriers. A photoelectrochemical biosensor for DNA detection was constructed based on the TiO2/Ti3C2 heterogeneous structure, which was comprehensively studied based on photocurrent responses. In the absence of the target, the CdSe QDs were close to the surface of the electrode, resulting in enhanced sensitization and increased photocurrent. In the presence of the target, the photocurrent decreases due to the formation of rigid double strands with the probe DNA, which caused the CdSe QDs to be far away from the electrode surface. The sensor had stability and sensitivity for DNA detection in the range of 10 nM-10 fM, and the lower detection limit was 6 fM. Its outstanding characteristics also provided ideas for detecting various other target DNA for early diagnosis of various diseases.

Abstract
Here, we compare the electrochemical oxidation potential of 15 nm diameter citrate-stabilized Au NPs aggregated by acid (low pH) to those aggregated by tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride (THPC). For acid-induced aggregation, the solution changes to a blue-violet color, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band of Au NPs at 520 nm decreases along with an increase in absorbance at higher wavelengths (600-800 nm), and the peak oxidation potential (Ep) in anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) obtained in bromide has a positive shift by as large as 200 mV. For THPC-induced aggregation (Au/THPC mole ratio = 62.5), the solution changes to a blue color as the LSPR band at 520 nm decreases and a new distinct peak at 700 nm appears, but the Ep does not exhibit a positive shift. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) images reveal that acid-induced aggregates are three-dimensional with strongly fused Au NP-Au NP contacts, while THPC-induced aggregates are linear or two-dimensional with ∼1 nm separation between Au NPs. The surface area-to-volume ratio (SA/V) decreases for acid-aggregated Au NPs due to strong Au NP-Au NP contacts, which leads to lower surface free energy and a higher Ep. The SA/V does not change for THPC-aggregated Au NPs since space remains between them and their SA is fully accessible. These findings show that metal NP oxidative stability, as determined by ASV, is highly sensitive to the details of the aggregate structure.

Abstract
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a unique technique in molecular biology and biotechnology for amplifying target DNA strands, and is also considered as a gold standard for the diagnosis of many canine diseases as well as many other infectious diseases. However, PCR still faces many challenges and issues related to its sensitivity, specificity, efficiency, and turnaround time. To address these issues, we described the use of unique ZnO nanoflowers in PCR reaction and an efficient ZnO nanoflower-based PCR (nanoPCR) for the molecular diagnosis of canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs). A total of 1 mM of an aqueous solution of ZnO nanoflowers incorporated in PCR showed a significant enhancement of the PCR assay with respect to its sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of two important CVBDs, Babesia canis vogeli and Hepatozoon canis. Interestingly, it drastically reduced the turnaround time of the PCR assay without compromising the yield of the amplified DNA, which can be of benefit for veterinary practitioners for the improved management of diseases. This can be attributed to the favorable adsorption of ZnO nanoflowers to the DNA and thermal conductivity of ZnO nanoflowers. The unique ZnO nanoflower-assisted nanoPCR greatly improved the yield, purity, and quality of the amplified products, but the mechanism behind these properties and the effects and changes due to the different concentrations of ZnO nanoflowers in the PCR system needs to be further studied.

Abstract
Here, we demonstrate a powerful method to discriminate DNA mismatches at single-nucleotide resolution from 0 to 5 mismatches (χ0 to χ5) using Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). Using our previously developed method, we quantified the surface potentials (SPs) of individual DNA-capped nanoparticles (DCNPs, ∼100 nm). On each DCNP, DNA hybridization occurs between ∼2200 immobilized probe DNA (pDNA) and target DNA with mismatches (tDNA, ∼80 nM). Thus, each DCNP used in the bioassay (each pDNA-tDNA interaction) corresponds to a single ensemble in which a large number of pDNA-tDNA interactions take place. Moreover, one KPFM image can scan at least dozens of ensembles, which allows statistical analysis (i.e., an ensemble average) of many bioassay cases (ensembles) under the same conditions. We found that as the χn increased from χ0 to χ5 in the tDNA, the average SP of dozens of ensembles (DCNPs) was attenuated owing to fewer hybridization events between the pDNA and the tDNA. Remarkably, the SP attenuation vs. the χn showed an inverse-linear correlation, albeit the equilibrium constant for DNA hybridization exponentially decreased asymptotically as the χn increased. In addition, we observed a cascade reaction at a 100-fold lower concentration of tDNA (∼0.8 nM); the average SP of DCNPs exhibited no significant decrease but rather split into two separate states (no-hybridization vs. full-hybridization). Compared to complementary tDNA (i.e., χ0), the ratio of no-hybridization/full-hybridization within a given set of DCNPs became ∼1.6 times higher in the presence of tDNA with single mismatches (i.e., χ1). The results imply that our method opens new avenues not only in the research on the DNA hybridization mechanism in the presence of DNA mismatches but also in the development of a robust technology for DNA mismatch detection.

Abstract
In this study, we described a novel and effective flower-like ZnO nanostructure assisted Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) method to detect Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV). The effects of different concentrations of ZnO nanoflower on the RT-LAMP reaction were investigated. With the increase of concentration of ZnO nanoflower, RT-LAMP reaction obtained optimization, until the concentration exceeded 1.5nM, RT-LAMP reaction was inhibited. Made 1nM as optimum concentration of ZnO nanoflower, we found that optimum RT-LAMP reaction temperature and time were 60°C and 30min, respectively. The optimization might be connected with good adsorption to DNA and thermal conductivity of ZnO nanoflower, but mechanism of the RT-LAMP reaction affected by ZnO nanoflower needs to be explored further.

Abstract
Based on the catalytic etching of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), a label-free colorimetric probe was developed for the detection of Cu(2+) in aqueous solutions. AuNPs were first stabilized by hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide in NH3-NH4Cl (0.6M/0.1M) solutions. Then thiosulfate (S2O3(2-)) ions were introduced and AuNPs were gradually dissolved by dissolved oxygen. With the further addition of Cu(2+), Cu(NH3)4(2+) oxidized AuNPs to produce Au(S2O3)2(3-) and Cu(S2O3)3(5-), while the later was oxid-ized to Cu(NH3)4(2+) again by dissolved oxygen. The dissolving rate of AuNPs was thereby remarkably promoted and Cu(2+) acted as the catalyst. The process went on due to the sufficient supply of dissolved oxygen and AuNPs were rapidly etched. Meanwhile, a visible color change from red to colorless was observed. Subsequent tests confirmed such a non-aggregation-based method as a sensitive (LOD=5.0 nM or 0.32 ppb) and selective (at least 100-fold over other metal ions except for Pb(2+) and Mn(2+)) way for the detection of Cu(2+) (linear range, 10-80 nM). Moreover, our results show that the color change induced by 40 nM Cu(2+) can be easily observed by naked eyes, which is particularly applicable to fast on-site investigations.

Abstract
Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamers specific to streptomycin were screened and identified from a random oligonucleotides library by affinity magnetic beads-based SELEX. After eight rounds of selection, 16 ssDNA with different sequences were identified. Then the dissociation constants (Kd) of these ssDNA were determined and an aptamer (STR1) with highest affinity for streptomycin was identified. Further study showed that aptamer STR1 exhibits very low affinity for other aminoglycoside antibiotics, indicating high specificity. With this aptamer, detection of streptomycin was achieved by using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based colorimetric method. In the presence of streptomycin, the competitive binding of the target and the aptamer decreases the stability of AuNPs in NaCl solution, triggers the aggregation, and exhibits visible color change of AuNPs solution. Through UV-visible spectroscopic quantitative analysis, streptomycin can be detected in the range of 0.2-1.2 μM. The presence of other aminoglycoside antibiotics shows neglectable disturbance. Furthermore, the established method was utilized to detect streptomycin in honey, and the same low detection limit and linear detection range were achieved.

Abstract
Transcription factors regulate gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences within the regulatory regions of genes and have become potential targets in clinical diagnosis and drug development. However, traditional approaches for the detection of transcription factors are usually laborious and time-consuming with a low sensitivity. Here, we develop an isothermal exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR)-based colorimetric assay for simple and sensitive detection of transcription factor NF-κB p50. In this assay, the presence of NF-κB p50 is converted to the reporter oligonucleotides through protein-DNA interaction, exonuclease III digestion, and isothermal exponential amplification. The subsequent sandwich hybridization of the reporter oligonucleotides with the gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-labeled DNA probes generates a red-to-purple color change, allowing the visual detection of NF-κB p50 with the naked eye. Notably, this method converts the detection of transcription factors to the detection of DNA without the requirement of DNA marker-linked antibodies in the case of immuno-PCR and can sensitively measure NF-κB p50 with a detection limit of 3.8 pM, which has improved by as much as 4 orders of magnitude as compared with the conventional AuNP-based colorimetric assay and the label-free luminescence assay and up to 4 orders of magnitude as compared with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based assay as well. Importantly, this method can be used to measure TNF-α-induced endogenous NF-κB p50 in HeLa cell nuclear extracts and might be further applied for the detection of various DNA-binding proteins and aptamer-binding molecules.

Abstract
The pentapeptide Cys-Ala-Leu-Asn-Asn (CALNN) has been proved to be a powerful tool to stabilize the AuNPs. These CALNN-capped AuNPs have been used to develop various bioanalysis platforms. In this paper, the CALNN-capped AuNPs are proved to be a robust tool for aggregation-based colorimetric immunoassays as well. A colorimetric immunoassay strategy based upon the antibody-induced assembly of functionalized AuNPs for Abscisic Acid glucose ester (ABA-GE) determination has been developed. The ABA-functionalized AuNPs aggregate in the presence of specific antibody, accompanied by a color change of the solution. The color change is competitively inhibited by ABA-GE. The interparticle distance in aggregates is small due to the thin peptide layer on the AuNPs surface, and it is determined by the "Y" shape antibody linker as well. As a result of that, an obvious color change in the immunoassays is observed. Under the optimized conditions, a linear response range from 5 nM to 10 μM for ABA-GE determination is obtained, and the limit of detection (LOD) is evaluated to be 2.2 nM. This method is simple, homogeneous, and has potential for visual detection of ABA-GE.

Abstract
In addition to their optical properties, the ability of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to generate table immobilization of biomolecules, whilst retaining their bioactivities is a major advantage to apply them as biosensors. Optical biosensors using Au NPs are simple, fast and reliable and, recently, they have been moving from laboratory study to the point of practical use. The optical properties of Au NPs strongly depend on their size, shape, degree of aggregation and the functional groups on their surface. Rapid advances in the field of nanotechnology offer us a great opportunity to develop the controllable synthesis and modification of Au NPs as well as to study on their properties and applications. The size-controlled growth of Au NPs requires the isotropic growth on the surface of Au nuclei whereas anisotropic growth will induce the formation of Au NPs of varying shape. Functionalized Au NPs provide sensitive and selective biosensors for the detection of many targets, including metal ions, small organic compounds, protein, DNA, RNA and cell based on their optical, electrical or electrochemical signals. In this review, we will discuss the size- and shape-controlled growth and functionalization of Au NPs to obtain Au nanoprobes. The basis of the optical detection of Au nanoprobes and their applications in nucleic acid, protein detection and cell imaging are also introduced.

Abstract
We have developed a unique metal nanoparticle (mNPs)-based assay to detect sequence-specific interactions between transcription factor and its corresponding DNA-binding elements. This assay exploits the interparticle-distance dependent optical properties of noble mNPs as sensing element and utilizes specific protein-DNA interactions to control the dispersion status of the mNPs. The assay involves two sets of double-stranded (ds)DNA modified-mNPs, each carrying a half site segment of a functional DNA sequence for the protein of interest. Each of these half sites is designed to contain a short complementary sticky end that introduces base-pairing forces to facilitate particle aggregation and to form a transient full dsDNA sequence. The detection of specific protein-DNA binding is founded on the premise that the mixture of these two sets of dsDNA-mNPs experiences a remarkable particle aggregation under certain salt conditions; whereas the aggregation can be retarded in the presence of a specific protein that binds and stabilizes the transient full dsDNA structure and therefore introduces steric protection forces between particles. We have demonstrated the concept using estrogen receptor α and its response elements, with gold and silver NPs as the sensing platform. UV-vis spectroscopy, transmission electron spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering measurements were conducted to provide full characterization of the particle aggregation/dispersion mechanism. Differing from most of the mNP-based colorimetric sensors that are designed based on the analyte-induced aggregation mechanism, current protein binding-stabilization sensing strategy reduces the false signals caused by unrelated particle destabilizing effects. It is expected that this assay principle can be directed toward other transcription factors by simply changing the recognition sequence to form different segmented dsDNA-mNP constructs.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has opened up new avenues towards ultra-sensitive, highly selective detection of biological molecules and toxic agents, as well as for therapeutic targeting and screening. Though the goals may seem singular, there is no universal method to identify or detect a molecular target. Each system is application-specific and must not only identify the target, but also transduce this interaction into a meaningful signal rapidly, reliably, and inexpensively. This review focuses on the current capabilities and future directions of DNA-based nanostructures in sensing and detection.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles of different sizes, shapes and compositions are being avidly explored as materials for next-generation biological labels, therapeutic agents, ‘artificial viruses’ and diagnostic probes. Gold nanoparticles especially, are making a major impact in these areas, owing in large part to their ease of functionality, low toxicity and unique optical properties. In particular, gold nanoparticles are having a major role in the development of highly sensitive and selective assays for biologically relevant molecules. Some of the assays for nucleic acids and proteins developed in the last 10 years outperform established methods and may soon find routine use in hospital settings.

Abstract
The ability to manipulate and intervene in the processes of assembly and disassembly of DNAs and nanoparticles is important for the exploitation of nanoparticles in medical diagnostics and drug delivery. This report describes the results of an investigation of a strategy to intervene in the assembly and disassembly processes of DNAs and gold nanoparticles based on two approaches. The first approach explores the viability of molecular intervention to the assembly-disassembly-reassembly process. The temperature-induced assembly and disassembly processes of DNAs and gold nanoparticles were studied as a model system to illustrate this approach. The introduction of a molecular recognition probe leads to intervention in the assembly-disassembly process depending on its specific biorecognition. This process was detected by monitoring the change in the optical properties of gold nanoparticles and their DNA assemblies. The second approach involves the disassembly of the DNA-linked assembly of nanoparticles using restriction enzymes (e.g., MspI). The presence of the double stranded DNAs in the nanoparticle assembly was also substantiated by a Southern blot. Implications of the results to exploration of the molecular intervention for fine-tuning interfacial reactivities in DNA-based bioassays are also discussed.

Abstract
We report the development of a highly sensitive and selective colorimetric detection method for cysteine based upon oligonucleotide-functionalized gold nanoparticle probes that contain strategically placed thymidine-thymidine (T-T) mismatches complexed with Hg2+. This assay relies upon the distance-dependent optical properties of gold nanoparticles, the sharp melting transition of oligonucleotide-linked nanoparticle aggregates, and the very selective coordination of Hg2+ with cysteine. The concentration of cysteine can be determined by monitoring with the naked eye or a UV-vis spectrometer the temperature at which the purple-to-red color change associated with aggregate dissociation takes place. This assay does not utilize organic cosolvents, enzymatic reactions, light-sensitive dye molecules, lengthy protocols, or sophisticated instrumentation thereby overcoming some of the limitations of more conventional methods.

Abstract
This report describes the viability of a strategy for manipulating the assembly/disassembly processes of DNA-Au nanoparticles by molecular intervention. Using the temperature-induced assembly and disassembly processes of DNAs and gold nanoparticles as a model system, the introduction of a molecular recognition probe is demonstrated to lead to the intervention of the assembly/disassembly processes depending on its specific biorecognition. This process can be detected by monitoring the change in the optical properties of gold nanoparticles and their DNA assemblies. Implications of the preliminary results to exploration of the resulting nanostructures for fine-tuning of the interfacial reactivities in DNA-based bioassays and biomaterial engineering are also discussed.
