Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification reactions such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which uses a DNA polymerase to amplify individual double-stranded DNA fragments, are a useful technique for visualizing the presence of specific genomes. Although the fluorescent labeling method is mainly used with DNA amplification, other detection methods should be considered for further improvements, such as miniaturization and cost reduction, of reaction-monitoring devices. In this study, the quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) method, which can measure nanogram-order masses, was applied for the real-time detection of DNA fragments in a solution with nucleic acids. This was combined with an isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction based on the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) method, which allowed DNA amplification at a constant temperature. When the DNA amplification reaction was initiated on a QCM sensor plate with an immobilized primer DNA strand, a significant increase in mass was observed compared to when the primer DNA was not immobilized. QCM was shown to be sufficiently sensitive for the in situ detection of amplified DNA fragments. Combining a portable QCM device and RPA offers a sensitive point-of-care method for detecting nucleic acids.

Abstract
The main symptoms of diabetes are hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. The inhibition of the starch digestion enzymes could effectively regulate starch digestion and glucose absorption, thereby slowing or treating the symptoms of postprandial hyperglycemia. Herein, we used fucoxanthin isolated from Undaria pinnatifida stems, as α-amylase inhibitor, and monitored the interactions of both biomolecules by using quartz crystal microbalance-admittance (QCM-A) instrument. All the processes of α-amylase hydrolysis of starch were also dynamically tracked by using amylose-immobilized QCM technology. In our work, we found that the kinetic parameter (k off, k on, and k cat) values obtained by the QCM-A analysis were relatively consistent compared to the kinetic parameter values obtained by the conventional Michaelis-Menten analysis. For the inhibitory reactions, the results showed that fucoxanthin significantly reduced the activity of α-amylase in a dose-dependent manner. The QCM-A technology shown to be an excellent approach in obtaining comprehensive and accurate kinetic parameters, thereby providing real and accurate data for kinetic studies. It is helpful to clarify the mechanism of action of fucoxanthin on α-amylase, which further proved the potential of fucoxanthin to improve and treat postprandial hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Abstract
The adsorption process of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto a stainless steel surface was investigated using the quartz crystal microbalance based on admittance analysis. The adhered mass change ∆m increased with time as a result of contacting the BSA solution, and considerably long period (>2 h) was required for the attainment of the asymptotic values of ∆m as well as dissipation factor ∆D. The relation between ΔD and Δm suggested that the layer of adsorbed BSA molecules became stiffer with increasing time at higher BSA concentration. The relation between Δm after 2 h and the final BSA concentration was described well by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. However, the time course of Δm clearly deviated from the Langmuir adsorption model. The stretched exponential function model described the time course of Δm well although it was an empirical one.

Abstract
The binding events between damaged DNA and recognition biomolecules are of great interest for understanding the activity of DNA-damaging drugs and the related DNA repair networks. Herein, a simple and sensitive sensor system was tailored for real-time probing of the dynamic molecular recognition between cisplatin-damaged-DNA (cisPt-DNA) and a cellular responsive protein, high-mobility-group box 1 (HMGB1). By integration of flow injection analysis (FIA) with quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), the interaction time-course of cisPt-DNA and HMGB1 domain A (HMGB1a) was investigated. The highly specific sensing interface was carefully designed and fabricated using cisPt-DNA as recognition element. A hybrid self-assembled monolayer consisting of cysteamine and mercaptohexanol was introduced to resist nonspecific adsorption. The calculated kinetic parameters (kass and kdiss) and the dissociation constant (KD) demonstrated the rapid recognition and tight binding of HMGB1a toward cisPt-DNA. Molecular docking was employed to simulate the complex formed by cisPt-DNA and HMGB1a. The tight binding of such a DNA-damage responsive complex is appealing for the downstream molecular recognition event related to the resistance to DNA repair. This continuous-flow QCM biosensor is an ideal tool for studying specific interactions between drug-damaged-DNAs and their recognition proteins in a physiological-relevant environment, and will provide a potential sensor platform for rapid screening and evaluating metal anticancer drugs.
