Abstract
Sensitive detection of copper ion (Cu2+), which is of great importance for environmental pollution and human health, is crucial. In this study, we present a highly sensitive method for measuring Cu2+ in an array of femtoliter wells. In brief, magnetic beads (MBs) modified with alkyne groups were bound to the azide groups of biotin-PEG3-azide (bio-PEG-N3) via Cu+-catalyzed click chemistry. Cu+ in the click chemistry reaction was generated by reducing Cu2+ with sodium ascorbate. Following the ligation, the surface of the MBs was modified with biotin, which could be labeled with streptavidin-β-galactosidase (SβG). The MBs complex was then suspended in β-galactosidase substrate fluorescein-di-β-d-galactopyranoside (FDG), and loaded into the array of femtoliter wells. The MBs sank into the wells due to gravity, and the resulting fluorescent product, generated from the reaction between SβG on the surface of the MBs and FDG, was confined within the wells. The number of fluorescent wells increased with higher Cu2+ concentrations. The bright-field and fluorescent images of the wells were acquired using an inverted fluorescent microscope. The detection limit of this assay for Cu2+ was 1 nM without signal amplification, which was 103 times lower than that of traditional fluorescence detection assays.

Abstract
Ligation efficiency in a surface-based DNA click chemistry (CuAAC) reaction is extremely restricted by the orientation and density of probes arranged on a heterogeneous surface. Herein, we engineer DNA tetrahedral nanostructure (DTN)-corbelled click chemistry to trigger a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) assembling a large-scale of nanozymes for ratiometric fluorescence detection of DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam). In this study, a DNA tetrahedron structure with an alkynyl modifying pendant DNA probe (Alk-DTN) is designed and assembled on a magnetic bead (MB) as a scaffold for click chemistry. When a CuO NP-encoded magnetic nanoparticle (CuO-MNP) substrate was methylated by Dam, CuO NPs were released and turned into a mass of Cu+. The Cu+ droves azido modifying lDNA (azide-lDNA) to connect with the Alk-DTN probe on the MB through the click reaction, forming an intact primer to initiate the HCR. The HCR product, a rigid structure double-stranded DNA, periodically assembles glucose oxidase mimicking gold nanoparticles (GNPs) into a large-scale of nanozymes for catalyzing the oxidation of glucose to H2O2. NH2-MIL-101 MOFs, a fluorescent indicator and a biomimetic catalyst, activated the product H2O2 to oxidize o-phenylenediamine (oPD) into visually detectable 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP). The change of the signal ratio between DAP and NH2-MIL-101 is proportional to the methylation event corresponding to the MTase activity. In this study, the DTN enhances the efficiency of the surface-based DNA click reaction and maintains the catalytic activities of gold nanoparticle nanozymes due to the intrinsic nature of mechanical rigidity and well-controlled orientation and well-adjusted size. Large-scale assembly of nanozymes circumvents the loss of natural enzyme activity caused by chemical modification and greatly improves the amplification efficiency. The proposed biosensor displayed a low detection limit of 0.001 U mL-1 for Dam MTase due to multiple amplification and was effective in real samples and methylation inhibitor screening, providing a promising modular platform for bioanalysis.

Abstract
Compared to conventionally synthesized organic compounds, peptides with amphiphiles have unique advantages, especially in self-assembly. Herein, we reported a peptide-based molecule rationally designed for the visual detection of copper ions (Cu2+) in multiple modes. The peptide exhibited excellent stability, high luminescence efficiency, and environmentally responsive molecular self-assembly in water. In the presence of Cu2+, the peptide undergoes an ionic coordination interaction and a coordination-driven self-assembly process that leads to the quenching of fluorescence and the formation of aggregates. Therefore, the concentration of Cu2+ can be determined by the residual fluorescence intensity and the color difference between peptide and competing chromogenic agents before and after Cu2+ incorporation. More importantly, this variation in fluorescence and color can be presented visually, thus allowing qualitative and quantitative analysis of Cu2+ based on the naked eye and smartphones. Overall, our study not only extends the application of self-assembling peptides but also provides a universal method for dual-mode visual detection of Cu2+, which would significantly promote point-of-care testing (POCT) of metal ions in pharmaceuticals, food, and drinking water.

Abstract
Enzymes fold into three-dimensional structures to distribute amino acid residues for catalysis, which inspired the supramolecular approach to construct enzyme-mimicking catalysts. A key concern in the development of supramolecular strategies is the ability to confine and orient functional groups to form enzyme-like active sites in artificial materials. This review introduces the design principles and construction of supramolecular nanomaterials exhibiting catalytic functions of heme-dependent enzymes, a large class of metalloproteins, which rely on a heme cofactor and spatially configured residues to catalyze diverse reactions via a complex multistep mechanism. We focus on the structure-activity relationship of the supramolecular catalysts and their applications in materials synthesis/degradation, biosensing, and therapeutics. The heme-free catalysts that catalyze reactions achieved by hemeproteins are also briefly discussed. Towards the end of the review, we discuss the outlook on the challenges related to catalyst design and future prospective, including the development of structure-resolving techniques and design concepts, with the aim of creating enzyme-mimicking materials that possess catalytic power rivaling that of natural enzymes..

Abstract
This work describes two new colorimetric nanosensors for label-free, equipment-free quantitative detection of nanomolar copper (II) (Cu2+) and mercury (II) (Hg2+) ions. Both are based on the analyte-promoted growth of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) from the reduction of chloroauric acid by 4-morpholineethanesulfonic acid. For the Cu2+ nanosensor, the analyte can accelerate such a redox system to rapidly form a red solution containing dispersed, uniform, spherical AuNPs that is related to these particles' surface plasmon resonance property. For the Hg2+ nanosensor, on the other hand, a blue mixture consisting of aggregated, ill-defined AuNPs with various sizes can be created, showing a significantly enhanced Tyndall effect (TE) signal (in comparison with that produced in the red solution of AuNPs). By using a timer and a smartphone to quantitatively measure the time of producing the red solution and the TE intensity (i.e., the average gray value of the corresponding image) of the blue mixture, respectively, the developed nanosensors are well demonstrated to achieve linear ranges of 6.4 nM to 100 μM and 6.1 nM to 1.56 μM for Cu2+ and Hg2+, respectively, with detection limits down to 3.5 and 0.1 nM, respectively. The acceptable recovery results obtained from the analysis of the two analytes in the complex real water samples including drinking water, tap water, and pond water ranged from 90.43 to 111.56%.

Abstract
Aryl azide and diaryl tetrazole are both photoactive molecules, which can form nitrene and nitrile imine intermediates respectively by photolysis. Depending on the new finding that the azide can suppress the photolysis of tetrazole in the azide-tetrazole conjugated system, we developed aryl azide-tetrazole probes for the photoactivatable fluorogenic azide alkyne click (PFAAC) reaction, in which the aryl azide-tetrazole probes were not phoroactivatable fluorogenic itself, but the triazole products after click reaction were prefluorophore that can be activated by light. Therefore, in PFAAC chemistry, the fluorescent probes can be activated by two orthogonal events: azide-alkyne click reaction and light, which leads to spatiotemporal resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. This PFAAC process was proved in vitro by copper catalyzed or strain-promoted azide-alkyne reactions and in live cells by spatiotemporally controlled organelle imaging. By incorporation a linker to the azide-tetrazole conjugate, this PFAAC chemistry could covalently label extra probes to the biomolecules and spatiotemporally detecting this process by photoinduced fluorescence.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria form a severe complication of diabetes. Antimicrobial-loaded hydrogels are used as a dressing for infected wounds, but the ongoing rise in the number of antimicrobial-resistant infections necessitates new, nonantibiotic based designs. Here, a guanosine-quadruplex (G4 )-hydrogel composed of guanosine, 2-formylphenylboronic acid, and putrescine is designed and used as a cascade-reaction container. The G4 -hydrogel is loaded with glucose-oxidase and hemin. The first cascade-reaction, initiated by glucose-oxidase, transforms glucose and O2 into gluconic acid and H2 O2 . In vitro, this reaction is most influential on killing Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa in suspension, but showed limited killing of bacteria in biofilm-modes of growth. The second cascade-reaction, however, transforming H2 O2 into reactive-oxygen-species (ROS), also enhances killing of biofilm bacteria due to hemin penetration into biofilms and interaction with eDNA G-quadruplexes in the biofilm matrix. Therewith, the second cascade-reaction generates ROS close to the target bacteria, facilitating killing despite the short life-time of ROS. Healing of infected wounds in diabetic mice proceeds faster upon coverage by these G4 -hydrogels than by clinically common ciprofloxacin irrigation. Moreover, local glucose concentrations around infected wounds decrease. Concluding, a G4 -hydrogel loaded with glucose-oxidase and hemin is a good candidate for infected wound dressings, particularly in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Background
The applications of Cu and CuNPs based on the earth-abundant and inexpensive Cu metal have generated a great deal of interest in recent years, including medical applications. A novel, specific, precise, accurate and sensitive reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with UV detection has been developed and validated to quantify copper (Cu) and copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) in different biological matrices and pharmaceutical products.
Methods
The developed method has been validated for linearity, precision, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Cu concentration was detected in pharmaceutical products without an extraction process. Moreover, liver, serum and muscle tissues were used as biological matrices. High Cu recovery in biological samples was afforded by using citric acid as a green chelating agent, exact extraction time and pH adjustment. Cu pharmaceutical and biological samples were eluted by acetonitrile: ammonium acetate (50 mM) with 0.5 mg/ml EDTA (30:70 v:v) as an isocratic mobile phase. EDTA reacted with Cu ions forming a Cu-EDTA coloured complex, separated through the C18 column and detected by UV at 310 nm.
Results
The developed method was specific with a short retention time of 4.95 min. It achieved high recovery from 100.3% to 109.9% in pharmaceutical samples and 96.8–105.7% in biological samples. The precision RSD percentage was less than two. The method was sensitive by achieving low detection limits (DL) and quantification limits (QL).
Conclusion
The validated method was efficient and economical for detecting Cu and CuNPs by readily available chemicals as EDTA and Citric acid with C18 column, which present the best results on RP-HPLC.

Abstract
On-site determination of trace copper ions in natural waters is of great significance to environmental monitoring, and how to develop accurate and specific point-of-care test methods is one critical issue. In the study, a paper-based analytical device (PAD) being modified with a new truncated DNAzyme (CLICK-T, which was derived from a reported DNAzyme-CLICK-17) was developed for Cu ions detection. The detection mechanism was based on Cu(II)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (Cu(II)AAC) reaction. It can directly conduct on-site analysis of Cu(II) ions based on fluorescent signals detected using a mobile phone. In the assay, the CLICK-T was firstly modified on the PADs. Then, water samples containing Cu ions mixed with 3-azido-7-hydroxycoumarin and 3-butyn-1-ol were instantly dripped on PADs and incubated for 20 min. Finally, the PADs were excited at 365 nm and emitted fluorescence which could be analyzed on site using smart phones. The Cu(II) concentration could be quantified through RGB analysis with the aid of iPhone APP software. The limit of detection is 0.1 µM by the naked eye due to the fact that CLICK-T exhibited a good catalytic effect on Cu(II)AAC. The Cu(II) concentration could also be directly detected without using reductant, such as ascorbic acid, which is prone to be oxidized in air. This simplifies the PDA detection process improves its efficiency. The PAD is convenient for the on-site analysis of Cu ions in natural waters.

A photocurrent-polarity-switching biosensor for highly selective assay of mucin 1 based on target-induced hemin transfer from ZrO 2 hollow spheres to G-quadruplex nanowires. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 192:113547. [PMID: 34385013 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Herein, a photocurrent polarity switching platform for highly selective assay of mucin 1 (MUC1) was developed based on target-induced hemin transfer from ZrO2 hollow spheres (ZrO2 HSs) to G-quadruplex nanowires (G wires). In this system, SiO2 spheres were used as templates to synthesize the uniform and mesoporous ZrO2 HSs. As nanocontainers, ZrO2 HSs could load hemin in its cavity via pores. Then, the aptamers of MUC1, as bio-gates, blocked the pores of ZrO2 HSs based on the specific binding of Zr4+ and the phosphate groups of aptamer. In the presence of MUC1, the aptamer could specifically recognize and bind with MUC1, and then leave away from the surface of ZrO2 HSs, which resulted in the opening of the bio-gates and releasing of hemin. Assisted with the G wires formed on the Au NPs/In2S3/ITO, the released hemin was captured on the electrode through the formation of hemin/G-quadruplex structure, leading to the switch of the photocurrent polarity of the electrode from anodic photocurrent to cathodic photocurrent. The proposed photoelectrochemical biosensor showed outstanding performance for MUC1 assay with high selectivity, wide linear response range (1 fg mL-1 -10 ng mL-1) and lower detection limit (0.48 fg mL-1). And the strategy could be easily extended to a triple-mode detection of MUC1 because the hemin/G-quadruplex structure was widely used in electrochemical and colorimetric methods as a hydrogen peroxide mimetic enzyme, which might provide wide applications in biological or clinical studies.

Abstract
Herein, a highly selective and sensitive "OFF-ON" fluorescent biosensor was designed for intracellular Cu2+ detection. Compared to the fluorescent Cu2+ biosensors reported so far, this work tackled the tricky issue of reliability of Cu2+, which mainly depends on the integration of the high selectivity of the Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction with the ultrahigh sensitivity of a spherical nucleic acid-based 3D DNA walker. Typically, DNA track is carried out by coconjugating N3-S1 and Cy3-HP onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). On this state, fluorophore (Cy3) was close to the surface of AuNPs (as a nanoquencher), generating a quenched fluorescence and thus causing the initial "OFF" state. In the presence of Cu2+ and H2C2-swing arm, Cu+ was in situ generated quickly from the reduction of Cu2+ with the assistance of ascorbic acid, which could promptly and selectively trigger the Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction-based 3D DNA walker between azide on N3-S1 and alkyne on the H2C2-swing arm. Sequentially, the activated H2C2-swing arm was able to hybridize with adjacent Cy3-HP and the 3D DNA walker was automatically driven by N.BstNBI to produce multiple Cy3-labeled DNA fragments away from the AuNP surface for signal amplification, performing a recovered fluorescence response (turning into the "ON" state). Accordingly, the ingenious integration of an efficient click reaction and smart 3D DNA walker endows the constructed fluorescent biosensor with superior selectivity and ultrahigh sensitivity. We further apply this platform for Cu2+ sensing in biological systems; this assay will provide a signal transduction strategy for evaluating intracellular Cu2+ at picomolar levels.

Abstract
Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a structure-specific nuclease that cleaves the 5' single-stranded protrusion (also known as 5' flap) during Okazaki fragment processing. It is overexpressed in various types of human cancer cells and has been considered as an important biomarker for cancer diagnosis. However, conventional methods for FEN1 assay usually suffer from complicated platform and laborious procedures with a limited sensitivity. Here, we developed a dual-signal method for sensitive detection of FEN1 on the basis of duplex-specific nuclease actuated cyclic enzymatic repairing-mediated signal amplification. Once the 5' flap of the double-flap DNA substrate was cleaved by target FEN1, the cleaved 5' flap initiated strand-displacement amplification to produce plenty of G-rich DNA (G) sequences. These G sequences that self-assembled into G-quadruplexes in the presence of hemin revealed horseradish-peroxidase-like catalytic activities as well as fluorescence enhancement of thioflavin T. The UV-vis signal showed a good linear relationship with the logarithm of FEN1 activity ranging from 0.03 to 1.5 U with a detection limit of 0.01 U. The fluorescence signal correlated linearly with the logarithm of FEN1 activity ranging from 0.001 to 1.5 U with a detection limit of 0.75 mU. In addition, FEN1 can be visualized not only by colorimetry but also by fluorescence (under ice-water mixture conditions). This reliable, accurate, and convenient method would be a potential powerful tool in point-of-care testing applications and therapeutic response assessment.

Abstract
A label-free ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing strategy for the sensitive detection of target DNA (T-DNA) was proposed on the basis of G-quadruplex/hemin-regulated ECL emissions of CdS quantum dots (QDs) and luminol with their common coreactant of H2O2. The ECL biosensor was constructed through stepwise assemblies of CdS QDs and hairpin DNA (H-DNA) on a glassy carbon electrode, and subsequent introduction of T-DNA resulted in the development of G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzymes via the specific recognition of T-DNA and H-DNA in the presence of hemin and K+ ions. The formed DNAzymes not only prompted the catalytic oxidation of hydroquinone followed by deposition of insoluble oxidation oligomers on the electrode surface to attenuate the cathodic ECL emission of CdS QDs but also triggered the catalytic oxidation of luminol to enhance the anodic ECL emission. The label-free ratiometric ECL biosensor for the detection of T-DNA showed a wide response range from 1 to 10,000 fM (10-15 M) with a low detection limit of 0.2 fM and exhibited excellent selectivity against mismatched base sequences. This work provides a reliable and sensitive sensing platform for the detection of targets in analytical community by means of rational design of DNA sequences.

Abstract
Multi-signal synergistically amplified electrochemical sensing of HIV DNA was proposed based on two-dimensional (2D) DNA-Au nanowire structure coupled with hemin/G-quadruplex and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the design, by using target HIV DNA as the template, PCR generated numbers of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) with free single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) tails on one side and free G-quadruplex sequences on the other side. Then, the ssDNA tails of the PCR products were hybridized with the capture probe (CP) to introduce the hemin/G-quadruplex to the electrode surface as a redox-active reporter and to amplify the electrochemical signal as mimic peroxidase catalysis in the presence of H2O2. Meanwhile, (+)AuNPs were electrostatically adsorbed onto dsDNA surface for the formation of 2D DNA-Au nanowire structure, amplifying the electrochemical signal further as another mimic peroxidase and electric conductor together. By effectively combining these signal amplification processes, ultrasensitive HIV DNA detection was achieved with a detection limit of 1.3 aM, indicating that it has potential application in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The amount of copper affects the quality of herbal medicine greatly, it is necessary to develop some simple and sensitive methods to detect copper for the remote or resource-limited area. An electronic balance is one of the most familiar equipment that can be found nearly in all laboratories. The presence of Cu(i) can catalyze azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (called as click chemistry) with high efficiency. In this study, a simple method had been developed to detect copper ions in herbal medicine using an electronic balance as a readout device based on click chemistry. Cu(ii) is reduced to Cu(i) by sodium ascorbate in situ, which induces the "click" reaction between azido-DNA modified magnetic beads (MB-DNA) and alkynyl-DNA modified platinum nanoparticles (Pt NP-DNA) and results in the fixing of the platinum nanoparticles on the beads (called as MB-Pt NPs). MB-Pt NPs can be separated by a magnetic frame easily and transferred into a drainage reaction device containing hydrogen peroxide. Then, hydrogen peroxide can be decomposed by Pt NPs modified on MB to generate oxygen, which increases the pressure in the drainage reaction device and forces the water in the system to be discharged. The weight of the discharged water can be easily and accurately measured by an electronic balance. The weight of the water has a linear relationship with Cu(ii) in the range of 2.0-200 μM and a detection limit of 0.83 μM under 30 min of collected time. This method does not need complicated and expensive instruments, skilled technicians, and a complex data processing process. The proposed method had been applied to detect copper ions in herbal medicine with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Copper detection for diagnostic purposes is an appealing field due to the important biological role copper plays as a trace metal. A convenient strategy for sensing copper is to utilize its catalytic ability. Therefore, this review summarizes approaches for copper determination by CuI-catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). The concept was introduced in 2006 and all contributions made up to the middle of 2020 are covered in this review. The issue is divided into three categories: electrochemical, visual, and fluorescence-based methods. The advantages, as well as the disadvantages, of every group, are discussed in detail. The methodology which allows for the determination of copper content in water and human biological samples from 5 s up to 48 h without complex instrumentation are discussed. The reported range of limit of detection (LOD) was 0.38 aM-20 μM, with 1-10 nM being the typical range. The most successful strategies involved using DNA chains or enzymes in the sensing systems.

Abstract
The abnormal expression of pyrophosphatase (PPase) is closely related to many diseases and malignant tumors, so the detection for PPase is of great significance in clinical diagnosis, disease monitoring, and other biomedical aspects. In this study, a sensitive and specific electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor combined highly specific Cu+-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with high efficiency of hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for the purpose of detecting pyrophosphatase has been designed. Highly efficient hybridization chain reaction amplification processed in homogeneous solution and the amplification products were connected to the electrode surface in one step, which solved the problem of low DNA amplification efficiency on the electrode surface because of the steric hindrance. Ru(phen)32+ was embedded into the dsDNA and functioned as ECL probes; the enhanced ECL intensity of the system had a linear relationship with the logarithm of PPase concentration in the range of 0.025-50 mU with a detection limit of 8 μU. The method was proved to be of good specificity, repeatability, and stability that could be used for screening and quantitatively determining pyrophosphatase inhibitor sodium fluoride. The practicability of this method in clinical application has been proved through the detection of serum from the clinical arthritis patients. Moreover, the method can be used to monitor PPase activity of arthritis patients before and after administration to provide reference for the effect of drug treatment.

Abstract
Colorimetric sensors have attracted wide scope of attentions due to its fascinating advantages, like handy, equipment-free and naked eye detections. In this investigation, a new and novel hydrazone based dual-responsive ratiometric/colorimetric chemosensor have been developed for highly selective and sensitive detection of Cu2+ and F- ions in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent. The probe showed highly selective sensing towards Cu2+ and F- ions by exhibiting a color change from pale yellow to yellowish green and pale yellow to yellowish brown respectively., in DMSO without any interference of other ions at same concentration. These experimental results have also substantiated by the NMR, HR-MS, UV-Vis spectroscopic, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry techniques and DFT calculations. The detection limits are found to be 5.8 μM for Cu2+ and 0.025 μM for F- ions which is far below to the values recommended by WHO. The stoichiometric ratios between NAPCBH and Cu2+/ F- ions were confirmed from the Job's plots and 1H NMR titration experiments which are found to be 2:1 and 1:1 respectively. The tracking ability of the DNA with NAPCBH-Cu2+ was studied by UV-Vis titration and Cyclic voltammetry measurements. It shows efficient affinity towards DNA with NAPCBH-Cu2+. The probe can also quantitatively determine the Copper and fluoride ions present in environmental samples & toothpaste. The NAPCBH was promptly recovered by utilizing very low concentration of HCl, showing that was found feasible and re-usable sensor for the convenient detection of Cu2+ and F- ions.

Abstract
Lead ions (Pb2+) cause harm to human health. Therefore, the development of fast, effective, and convenient sensors for Pb2+ monitoring has received great attention. In this study, a portable method has been proposed for Pb2+ detection using normal electronic balance as a readout. Magnetic bead-catalytic strand is hybridized with platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) functioned substrate strand (Pt-Sub) to form double-stranded DNA first. In the presence of Pb2+, the DNAzyme is activated and cleaved at the ribo-adenosine site of the substrate strand and hence causes Pt NPs to be released into the supernatant, which can be easily separated from the Pt-Sub by a magnet. The separated Pt NPs can effectively catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 to produce O2. In a sealed bottle, the pressure inside the bottle is increased by the generation of oxygen so that the water is discharged from the drainage device, and the weight of the water can be easily and precisely measured by a normal electronic balance. The weighting water has a linear relationship with the concentration of Pb2+ in the range of 2.5-100 nM and the detection limit of 0.83 nM (S/N = 3). The proposed method has been applied to detect Pb2+ in water with satisfactory results. Because the electronic balance is one of the most commonly used analytical tools for the laboratory, it is very practical and convenient without the need for expensive instruments and complicated data processing.

Abstract
A straightforward yet efficient, nanopore-based strategy that enables the sensitive detection of copper(II) ion (Cu2+) and real-time monitoring of a click reaction is provided. Two single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs) are designed to act as the preprobes, one being modified with an azide and the other an alkyne. The presence of Cu2+ induces the ligation of two ssDNAs via click reaction, leading to the formation of a forked DNA which can quantitatively generate characteristic current signatures when interacts with α-hemolysin (α-HL) nanopore. The assay facilitates a highly selective and sensitive measurement of Cu2+ without the need for labels or signal amplification. More importantly, this nanopore platform exhibits excellent performance in real-time monitoring of a copper(I) ion (Cu+)-catalyzed click reaction at the single-molecule level, by recording the current signals of the forked DNA generated by click chemistry. The proposed strategy is believed to play an important role in both nanopore sensing and characterization of chemistry reactions, especially coupling reactions.

Abstract
Bioinspired synthesis offers potential green strategies to build highly complex nanomaterials by utilizing the unique nanostructures, functions, and properties of biomolecules, in which the biomolecular recognition and self-assembly processes play important roles in tailoring the structures and functions of bioinspired materials. Further understanding of biomolecular self-assembly for inspiring the formation and assembly of nanoparticles would promote the design and fabrication of functional nanomaterials for various applications. In this review, we focus on recent advances in bioinspired synthesis and applications of hierarchical nanomaterials based on biomolecular self-assembly. We first discuss biomolecular self-assembly towards biological nanomaterials, in which the mechanisms and ways of biomolecular self-assembly as well as various self-assembled biomolecular nanostructures are demonstrated. Secondly, the bioinspired synthesis strategies including molecule-molecule interaction, molecule-material recognition, molecule-mediated nucleation and growth, and molecule-mediated reduction/oxidation are introduced and discussed. Meanwhile, typical examples and discussions on how biomolecular self-assembly inspires the formation of hierarchical hybrid nanomaterials are presented. Finally, the applications of bioinspired nanomaterials in biofuel cells, light-harvesting systems, batteries, supercapacitors, catalysis, water/air purification, and environmental monitoring are presented and discussed. We believe that this review will be very helpful for readers to understand the self-assembly of biomolecules and the biomimetic/bioinspired strategies for synthesizing hierarchical nanomaterials on the one hand, and on the other hand to design novel materials for extended applications in nanotechnology, materials science, analytical science, and biomedical engineering.

Abstract
Visual inspection is expected as an ideal technique, which can directly and conveniently detect heavy metal ions by observing the color change. Insensitivity of detecting weakly colored heavy transition metal ions and low adsorptivity of metal ions on nanoparticle surface are two main factors hindering the application of visual detection in heavy metal ions detection. Herein, we demonstrated an operational colorimetric sensor based on the color dependence of nanoparticles aggregation to selective and facile detect weakly colored transition heavy metal Cd2+ ions that have been considered as the origin of the "Itai-itai" disease. Uniform colloidal 15nm graphite-like nitride doped carbon quantum dots-capped gold nanoparticle (Au@g-CNQDs) was successfully prepared, wherein the existence of numerous heptazine, carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on the nanoparticle's surface strengthened adsorption of the Cd2+ ions on the surface of Au@g-CNQDs through the "cooperative effect". As a consequence, without expensive and intricate exogenous indicators or other special additives, the Cd2+ ions could sensitively and quickly captured to detect at ultra-low concentration within 30s by the naked-eye. Under the optimal conditions, the Cd2+ ions sensor possesses good analytical performances with a wide linear range of 0.01-3.0μM and a detection limit of 10nM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the biodistribution and aggregation of Cd2+ ions were detected effectively in mice organ tissues suggesting its great potential use for real-word applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have shown great promise in advancing biomedical and environmental analysis because of the unique properties originated from their ultrafine dimensions. In general, nanomaterials are separately applied to either enhance detection by producing strong signals upon target recognition or to specifically extract analytes taking advantage of their high specific surface area. Herein, we report a dual-functional nanomaterial-based platform that can simultaneously enrich and enable sensitive detection of multiple metal ions. The macroporous graphene foam (GF) we prepared displays abundant phosphate groups on the surface and can extract divalent metal ions via metal-phosphate coordination. The enriched metal ions then activate the metal-responsive DNAzymes and produce the fluorescently labeled single-stranded DNAs that are adsorbed and quenched by the GF. The resultant fluorescence reduction can be used for metal quantitation. The present work demonstrated duplexed detection of Pb2+ and Cu2+ using the Pb- and Cu-responsive DNAzymes, achieving a low detection limit of 50 pM and 0.6 nM, respectively. Successful quantification of Pb2+ and Cu2+ in human serum and river water were achieved with high metal recovery. Since the phosphate-decorated GF can enrich diverse types of divalent metal cations, this dual-functional GF-DNAzyme platform can serve as a simple and cost-effective tool for rapid and accurate metal quantification in determination of human metal exposure and inspection of environmental contamination.

Abstract
The peroxidase-like catalytic activity of MoS2 nanomaterials has been utilized for colorimetric bioassays and medical diagnostics. However, the application of peroxidase-like catalytic activity of MoS2 nanomaterials in environmental analysis was seldom explored. Herein, copper ions were found to inhibit the peroxidase-like catalytic activity of MoS2 nanosheets, which can catalyze the oxidation of 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine by H2O2 to produce a colorimetric product. Based on this finding, a simple sensitive colorimetric method for the detection of copper ions was developed. In the presence of copper ions, the absorbance and color of the solution decreased with the increasing concentration of copper ions. The color of the solution can be used to semi-quantitative on-site assay of copper ions by naked eyes. A linear relationship between the absorbance and the concentration of copper ions was observed in the range of 0.4-4.0μmolL-1 with a detection limit of 92nmolL-1, which was much lower than the maximum contaminant level of copper in drinking water legislated by the Environmental Protection Agency of USA and the World Health Organization. The method was applied to detect copper ions in environmental water samples with satisfactory results.

Fe(III)-based metal-organic framework-derived core-shell nanostructure: Sensitive electrochemical platform for high trace determination of heavy metal ions. Biosens Bioelectron 2017; 94:358-364. [PMID: 28319903 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2017.03.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 90] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2016] [Revised: 02/11/2017] [Accepted: 03/06/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
A new core-shell nanostructured composite composed of Fe(III)-based metal-organic framework (Fe-MOF) and mesoporous Fe3O4@C nanocapsules (denoted as Fe-MOF@mFe3O4@mC) was synthesized and developed as a platform for determining trace heavy metal ions in aqueous solution. Herein, the mFe3O4@mC nanocapsules were prepared by calcining the hollow Fe3O4@C that was obtained using the SiO2 nanoparticles as the template, followed by composing the Fe-MOF. The Fe-MOF@mFe3O4@mC nanocomposite demonstrated excellent electrochemical activity, water stability and high specific surface area, consequently resulting in the strong biobinding with heavy-metal-ion-targeted aptamer strands. Furthermore, by combining the conformational transition interaction, which is caused by the formation of the G-quadruplex between a single-stranded aptamer and high adsorbed amounts of heavy metal ions, the developed aptasensor exhibited a good linear relationship with the logarithm of heavy metal ion (Pb2+ and As3+) concentration over the broad range from 0.01 to 10.0nM. The detection limits were estimated to be 2.27 and 6.73 pM toward detecting Pb2+ and As3+, respectively. The proposed aptasensor showed good regenerability, excellent selectivity, and acceptable reproducibility, suggesting promising applications in environment monitoring and biomedical fields.

A selective and label-free strategy for rapid screening of telomere-binding Ligands via fluorescence regulation of DNA/silver nanocluster. Sci Rep 2017; 7:42629. [PMID: 28262705 PMCID: PMC5338008 DOI: 10.1038/srep42629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2016] [Accepted: 08/22/2016] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Herein, the conformational switch of G-rich oligonucleotide (GDNA) demonstrated the obvious functional switch of GDNA which was found to significantly affect the fluorescence of the in-situ synthesized DNA/silver nanocluster (DNA-AgNC) in homogeneous solution. We envisioned that the allosteric interaction between GDNA and DNA-AgNC would be possible to be used for screening telomere-binding ligands. A unimolecular probe (12C5TG) is ingeniously designed consisting of three contiguous DNA elements: G-rich telomeric DNA (GDNA) as molecular recognition sequence, T-rich DNA as linker and C-rich DNA as template of DNA-AgNC. The quantum yield and stability of 12C5TG-AgNC is greatly improved because the nearby deoxyguanosines tended to protect DNA/AgNC against oxidation. However, in the presence of ligands, the formation of G-quadruplex obviously quenched the fluorescence of DNA-AgNC. By taking full advantage of intramolecular allosteric effect, telomere-binding ligands were selectively and label-free screened by using deoxyguanines and G-quadruplex as natural fluorescence enhancer and quencher of DNA-AgNC respectively. Therefore, the functional switching of G-rich structure offers a cost-effective, facile and reliable way to screen drugs, which holds a great potential in bioanalysis as well.

Abstract
A signal-amplified lateral flow test strip (SA-LFTS) for the detection of Cu2+ in aqueous solution was constructed based on Cu+-catalyzed click chemistry and hybridization of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Alkyne and azide modified ssDNA acted as specific elements for Cu2+ recognition, and a chemical ligation product formed through Cu+-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition. Hybridization of ssDNA-labeled gold nanoparticles resulted in high sensitivity, and the output signal could be observed directly by the naked eye. Using the developed SA-LFTS under optimal conditions, Cu2+ could be detected rapidly with limit of detections of 5 nM and 4.2 nM by visual observation and quantitative analysis, respectively. The sensitivity (i.e. the visual limit of detection) of the SA-LFTS was 80-times higher than that of traditional LFTS. The SA-LFTS was applied to the determination of Cu2+ in municipal water and river water samples with the results showing good recovery and accuracy. The developed test strip is promising for point-of-care applications and detection of Cu2+ in the field.
