Tailoring the peroxidase-like properties of Mo atom nanoclusters/N-MXene nanozymes for sensitive colorimetric detection of glutathione. Talanta 2024; 278:126485. [PMID: 38943767 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
Although nanozyme engineering has made tremendous progress, there is a huge gap between them and natural enzymes due to the enormous challenge of precisely adjusting the geometric and electronic structure of active sites. Considering that intentionally adjusting the metal-carrier interactions may bring the promising catalytic activity, in this work, a novel Mo atom nanocluster is successfully synthesized using nitrogen-doped Mxene (MoACs/N-MXene) nanozymes as carriers. The constructed MoACs/N-MXene displays excellent peroxidase-like catalytic activity and kinetics, outweighing its N-MXene and Mo nanoparticles (NPs)-MXene references and natural horse radish peroxidase. This work not only reports a successful example of MoACs/N-MXene nanozyme as a guide for achieving peroxidase-mimic performance of nanozymes for colorimetric glutathione sensing at 0.29 μM, but also expands the application prospects of two-dimensional MXene nanosheets by reasonably introducing metal atomic clusters and nonmetal atom doping and exploring related nanozyme properties.

Mikrochim Acta 2023; 191:49.

Abstract
An electrochemical sensor capable of detecting glutathione (GSH) with high sensitivity and selectivity was developed based on the unique novel electroactive silver-based metal organic framework (Ag-MOF). The Ag-MOF obtained by silver nitrate and 1,3,5-benzoic acid (H3BTC) was thoroughly characterized and was modified onto the electrode via facile drop-casting method. The electrochemical response of GSH on the Ag-MOF modified electrode showed a significant reduction in the current signal because the Ag-GSH complex had stronger specific affinity than Ag-H3BTC and resulted in the collapse of the Ag-MOF. This sensor demonstrated an extensive linear dynamic range of 0.1 nM-1 µM, along with the low detection limit of 0.018 nM. Additionally, it exhibited good reproducibility, stability, and resistance to interfering compounds. The Ag-MOF modified electrode demonstrated superior performance attributed to its rapid electron transfer rate, outstanding electrochemical redox activity, and specific recognition/competitive reaction. These factors improved both sensitivity and selectivity. The high anti-interference ability allowed for the selective detection of GSH in intricate surroundings. In the real sample testing, the RSD was lower than 3.1% and the recovery was between 98.1 and 103%. This research highlights the potential of Ag-MOFs in developing electrochemical sensors and their promising applications in determining GSH for food screening and early disease diagnosis.

Adenine phosphate-Cu nanozyme with multienzyme mimicking activity for efficient degrading phenolic compounds and detection of hydrogen peroxide, epinephrine and glutathione. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1279:341771.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the development of nanotechnology, various nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity (nanozymes) have been reported. Due to their superior properties, nanozymes have shown important application potential in the fields of bioanalysis, disease detection, and environmental remediation. However, only a few nanomaterials with multi-enzyme mimicry activity have been reported. In this study, a novel multienzyme mimic was synthesized through a simple and rapid preparation protocol by coordinating copper ions with N3, N6 (amino), N7, and N9 on adenine phosphate. RESULTS The prepared adenine phosphate-Cu complex exhibits significant peroxidase, laccase, and oxidase mimicking activities. The Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) and the maximal velocity (Vmax) values of the peroxidase, laccase, and oxidase mimicking activities of AP-Cu nanozyme are 0.052 mM, 0.14 mM, and 2.49 mM; and 0.552 μM min-1, 6.70 μM min-1, and 2.24 μM min-1, respectively. Then, based on its laccase mimicking activity, the nanozyme was applied in the degradation of phenolic compounds. The calculated kinetic constant for the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol is 0.468 min-1 and the degradation efficiency of 2,4-dichlorophenol (0.1 mM) reaches 96.14% at 7 min. Finally, based on the multienzyme mimicking activity of adenine phosphate-Cu nanozyme, simple colorimetric sensing methods with high sensitivity and good selectivity were developed for the detection of hydrogen peroxide, epinephrine, and glutathione in the ranges of 20.0-200.0 μM (R2 = 0.9951), 5.0-100.0 μM (R2 = 0.9970), and 5.0-200.0 μM (R2 = 0.9924) with the limits of quantitation of 20.0 μM, 5.0 μM, and 5.0 μM, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE In short, the synthesis of nanozymes with multi-enzyme mimicry activity through coordination between copper ions and small molecule mimicry enzymes provides new ideas for the design and research of multi-enzyme mimics.

Abstract
Conductive nanopipettes have been recognized as powerful multifunctional platforms for electrochemical sensing applications in confined spaces. However, the electron-transfer processes of many biological analytes (i.e., enzymes or proteins) are slow and coupled with chemical reactions, which have not been well elucidated in conductive nanopipettes. In this Letter, both experimental and simulation methods are used to study electron-transfer processes coupled to chemical reactions (EC mechanism) in carbon nanopipettes (CNPs). It is demonstrated that the electroactive species can serve as redox mediator to help oxidize and reduce the nonelectroactive analytes of interest in the solution and produce noticeable catalytic current signals. Besides, glutathione was directly measured by using ferrocenemethanol as the redox mediator in the CNPs. The elucidated EC processes in CNPs would offer a new opportunity to measure nonelectroactive analytes in biological fields.

Abstract
Electrochemical detection can be used to achieve intracellular or in vivo analysis of reduced glutathione (GSH) in tissues such as brain by using a microelectrode, which can help to better understand the complex biochemical processes of this molecule in the human body. The main challenges associated with electrochemical GSH detection are the chemical fouling of electrodes, caused by the oxidation product of GSSG, and biofouling due to the non-specific absorption of biological macromolecules. Oxo-functionalized graphene was generated in situ on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode using a green electrochemical method without using any other modifiers or materials in a mild water solution. The fabricated oxo-functionalized graphene interface was characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electrochemistry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements. The interface showed high electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of GSH, and a simple and efficient GSH sensor was developed. Interestingly, the electrode is reusable and could be recovered from the chemical fouling via electrochemical oxidation and reduction treatment. The electrode also exhibited good antibiofouling properties. The presented method could be a promising method used to treat carbon materials, especially carbon-based microelectrodes for electrochemical monitoring of intracellular glutathione or in vivo analysis.

Abstract
A novel signal on-off glutathione (GSH) electrochemical sensor was developed based on a AuCu bimetal-decorated Zr-containing metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF), in which a signal amplification strategy promoted by solid-state electrochemistry of cuprous chloride (CuCl) was used. The Zr-MOF with a large surface area can be effectively used as the substrate for the in situ growth of AuCu bimetals to obtain the Zr-MOF@AuCu nanocomposite. The interaction between Cu in Zr-MOF@AuCu and Cl- in the solution accompanied with the formation of CuCl displays an enlarged stable oxidation current, which greatly declines with the addition of GSH owing to the specific Cu-GSH interaction. The conversion of CuCl into Cu-GSH triggered the "crowding-out effect" and resulted in a sharp drop in the peak current of CuCl, which can realize the ultrasensitive and selective detection of GSH. The detection mechanism was investigated, and the detection range was 10 pM-1 mM with the detection limit as low as 2.67 pM. The special response mechanism for the detection of GSH allows the highly selective detection of GSH in various real samples with reliable results, endowing the proposed electroanalysis sensor with broad application prospects in biological and food analysis.

Abstract
Chemical biosensing techniques are essential for food analysis and disease diagnosis. Nanomaterials with redox activity show great potential in electrochemical analysis, acting as signal labels or signal amplification unit, which can reflect the targets concentration in foods and biological samples. Here, an ultra-sensitive dual-signal intrinsic self-calibration electrochemical platform for GSH was firstly fabricated based on the novel electroactive nanomaterial of ferrocene-functionalized copper metal-organic framework (Fc-Cu-MOF). Due to the solid-state electrochemical property of cuprous chloride (CuCl), a sharp characteristic peak with an increased signal appears with the coexistence of chloride ions in solution. The stronger specific affinity between Cu+ and GSH than that of Cu+ and Cl- triggers a "crowding effect" that causes the current signal of CuCl decrease greatly. Meanwhile, the peak current of ferrocene keeps unchanged as an internal reference. Based on the ratio of the peak current variation (ΔICu/ΔIFc) as the signal output, Fc-Cu-MOF modified electrode showed wider linear range in 0.1 nM -1 μM for GSH with the detection limit as low as 0.025 nM. And the sensor was successfully applied in the determination of GSH with excellent recoveries in various real samples such as food and serum samples, providing good prospect in application of bioanalysis and food screening.

Abstract
One of the biggest challenges in the search for more effective treatments for diseases is understanding their etiology. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are an important example of this, given the high number of deaths annually. Oxidative stress (the imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant species in biological system) is one of the factors responsible for CVD occurrence, demanding extensive investigation. Excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are primarily responsible for this condition, and clinical and scientific literature have reported a significant increase in ROS when therapeutic drugs, such as doxorubicin and isoproterenol, are administered. In this context, the aim of this study is the investigation of potential biomarkers that might be associated with oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes. For this purpose, H9c2 cardiomyocytes were submitted to oxidative stress conditions by treatment with doxorubicin (DOX), isoproterenol (ISO) and hydrogen peroxide (PER). Metabolomics analyses of the cell extract and the supernatant obtained from the culture medium were then evaluated by CE-ESI(+)-TOF-MS. Following signal processing, statistical analyses, and molecular features annotations, the results indicate changes in the aspartate, serine, pantothenic acid, glycerophosphocholine and glutathione metabolism in the cell extract.

Abstract
Structural versatility of MnO2 nanostructures plays a significant role in biosensing applications. So, we have prepared simple and selective "turn-off-on" sensing probes for the detection of glutathione (GSH), based on nitrogen, sulfur codoped carbon dots (N, S-Cdots) and different morphologies of one-dimensional (1-D) MnO2 nanostructures. N, S-Cdots with a high fluorescence quantum yield (73.42%) were prepared by a green approach through high-temperature pyrolysis in just 5 min. The different morphologies of 1-D MnO2 nanostructures (nanowires with varying aspect ratios and nanorods) were synthesized through a hydrothermal method by varying the reaction period (8, 10, and 12 h). MnO2 nanowires prepared at 8 h showed a high specific surface area (34 m2 g-1) with a large aspect ratio. They showed significant fluorescence quenching, Stern-Volmer constants, and binding constants in the presence of N, S-Cdots. Further, ultraviolet-visible absorption, zeta potential, and time decay studies showed that the quenching mechanism of the developed sensing system was the inner filter effect, which was further confirmed by using the Parker equation. The N, S-Cdots-MnO2 nanowire (with a high aspect ratio) sensing system showed the best limit of detection, i.e., 28.5 μM for GSH. This fast, simple, eco-friendly, and cost-effective sensing system can be further used for real-time biosensing and bioimaging application.

Abstract
This work initially reports a new nanosening method for simple, sensitive, specific, visual detection of mercury (II) (Hg2+) and glutathione (GSH) using the Tyndall Effect (TE) of the same colloidal gold nanoparticle (GNP) probes for efficient colorimetric signaling amplification. For the TE-inspired assay (TEA) method, arginine (Arg) molecules are pre-modified on the GNPs' surfaces (Arg-GNPs). Upon the Hg2+ introduction, it can be specifically coordinated with the terminal -NH2 and -COOH groups of the Arg molecules to make the Arg-GNPs aggregate, producing a significantly-enhanced TE signal in the reaction solution after its irradiation by a 635-nm red laser pointer pen. On the other hand, the introduction of the GSH results in the production of the original Arg-GNPs' weak TE response, as it is able to bind such metal ion via mercury-thiol reactions to inhibit the above aggregation. Under the optimal conditions, the utility of the new TEA method is well demonstrated to quantitatively detect the Hg2+ and GSH with the aid of a smartphone as a portable TE reader during the linear concentration ranges of 50-3000 and 10-3000 nM, respectively. The detection limits for the Hg2+ and GSH are estimated to be as low as ∼3.5 and ∼0.3 nM, respectively. The recovery results obtained from the detection of Hg2+ in the complex tap and pond water samples and the assay of GSH in real human serum and urine samples are also satisfactory.

Abstract
Glutathione (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine, GSH) is a tripeptide that is part of the antioxidant defense system and contributes to numerous redox-regulatory processes. In vivo, reduced GSH and oxidized glutathione disulfide (GSSG) are present in redox equilibrium and their ratio provides important information on the cellular redox state. Here, we compared three different methods for in vivo quantification of glutathione in tissues of hypertensive rats, an accepted animal model of oxidative stress. In the present study, we used hypertensive rats (infusion of 1 mg/kg/d angiotensin-II for 7 days) to determine the levels of reduced GSH and/or GSH/GSSG ratios in different tissue samples. We used an HPLC-based method with direct electrochemical detection (HPLC/ECD) and compared it with Ellman's reagent (DTNB) dependent derivatization of reduced GSH to the GS-NTB adduct and free NTB (UV/Vis HPLC) as well as with a commercial GSH/GSSG assay (Oxiselect). Whereas all three methods indicated overall a decreased redox state in hypertensive rats, the assays based on HPLC/ECD and DTNB derivatization provided the most significant differences. We applied a direct, fast and sensitive method for electrochemical GSH detection in tissues from hypertensive animals, and confirmed its reliability for in vivo measurements by head-to-head comparison with two other established assays. The HPLC/ECD but not DTNB and Oxiselect assays yielded quantitative GSH data but all three assays reflected nicely the qualitative redox changes and functional impairment in hypertensive rats. However, especially our GSH/GSSG values are lower than reported by others pointing to problems in the work-up protocol.

Abstract
In this work, MnO2 nanoflower (NF), as novel and more effective co-reaction accelerator, was applied to construct a new ternary electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system of Ru complex/tripropylamine (TPrA)/MnO2 NF. Compared with the classic Ru complex/TPrA binary ECL system, the reaction efficiency of co-reactant TPrA in the new ternary ECL system was obviously enhanced, leading to the significantly improved ECL signal by accelerating the dissociation of co-reactants into more active radicals. Then, an ECL biosensor was fabricated based on the proposed ternary ECL system, realizing the sensitive determination of glutathione (GSH). In order to realize the efficient nucleic acid amplification, a certain amount of GSH was firstly converted to a large number of intermediate DNA in assistance of Hg2+, which acted as walker could walk along with the DNA triplex immobilized on the electrode and cut off the DNA strand (S2) labeled with ferrocene (Fc). Owing to the fact that Fc possessed obvious quenching effect to the ECL of Ru complex labeled on the other side of S2, the ECL signal recovered significantly. Thus, the proposed ECL biosensor achieved the sensitive determination of GSH, and the detection limit was 50 nM.

Abstract
As a crucial biothiol, glutathione (GSH) plays a key role in the organisms. Monitoring GSH level is of great significance for disease diagnosis and biomedical research. In this work, polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles-red fluorescent carbonized polymer dots (r-CPDs) based ratiometric fluorescence sensing platform was constructed and employed for GSH assay. Dopamine (DA) could be oxidized by cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanosheets and further polymerized into PDA nanoparticles with green fluorescence. However, in the presence of GSH, CoOOH nanosheets were reduced and decomposed, which prevented the production of PDA nanoparticles. In the sensing system, green-emitting PDA nanoparticles were employed as a response unit and r-CPDs were used as an internal reference unit. With the addition of GSH, the green fluorescence of PDA nanoparticles decreased as well as the red fluorescence of system remained relatively stable. Importantly, a distinct fluorescence color evolution from green to red was presented with a serious of GSH concentrations. Based on this, a portable smartphone-assisted ratiometric chromaticity analytical method was developed to achieve the on-site visual detection of GSH. Both the established ratiometric fluorescence and ratiometric chromaticity sensing methods for GSH assay have the merits of wide linear range, high sensitivity and excellent accuracy, which are suitable for the determination of GSH in human serum and exhibit great application potential in rapid and accurate monitoring of the GSH levels in clinical. Moreover, an ingenious logical device reflecting GSH levels was designed based on the two different fluorescence signals, which provided a new strategy for the intelligent online detection of GSH in complex biological matrices.

Abstract
This review highlights the biological importance of mitochondrial energy metabolism and the applications of multiple optical/electrochemical approaches to determine energy metabolites. Mitochondria, the main sites of oxidative phosphorylation and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) biosynthesis, provide the majority of energy required by aerobic cells for maintaining their physiological activity. They also participate in cell growth, differentiation, information transmission, and apoptosis. Multiple mitochondrial diseases, caused by internal or external factors, including oxidative stress, intense fluctuations of the ionic concentration, abnormal oxidative phosphorylation, changes in electron transport chain complex enzymes and mutations in mitochondrial DNA, can occur during mitochondrial energy metabolism. Therefore, developing accurate, sensitive, and specific methods for the in vivo and in vitro detection of mitochondrial energy metabolites is of great importance. In this review, we summarise the mitochondrial structure, functions, and crucial energy metabolic signalling pathways. The mechanism and applications of different optical/electrochemical methods are thoroughly reviewed. Finally, future research directions and challenges are proposed.

Abstract
Recently, stretchable electrochemical sensors have stood out as a powerful tool for the detection of soft cells and tissues, since they could perfectly comply with the deformation of living organisms and synchronously monitor mechanically evoked biomolecule release. However, existing strategies for the fabrication of stretchable electrochemical sensors still face with huge challenges due to scarce electrode materials, demanding processing techniques and great complexity in further functionalization. Herein, we report a novel and facile strategy for one-step preparation of stretchable electrochemical biosensors by doping ionic liquid and catalyst into a conductive polymer (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate), PEDOT:PSS). Bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonimide lithium salt as a small-molecule plasticizer can significantly improve the stretchability and conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS film, and cobalt phthalocyanine as an electrocatalyst endows the film with excellent electrochemical sensing performance. Moreover, the functionalized PEDOT:PSS retained good cell biocompatibility with two extra dopants. These satisfactory properties allowed the real-time monitoring of stretch-induced transient hydrogen peroxide release from cells. This work presents a versatile strategy to fabricate conductive polymer-based stretchable electrodes with easy processing and excellent performance, which benefits the in-depth exploration of sophisticated life activities by electrochemical sensing.

Abstract
Phthalocyanines and porphyrazines as macrocyclic aza-analogues of well-known porphyrins were deposited on diverse carbon-based nanomaterials and investigated as sensing devices. The extended π-conjugated electron system of these macrocycles influences their ability to create stable hybrid systems with graphene or carbon nanotubes commonly based on π-π stacking interactions. During a 15-year period, the electrodes modified by deposition of these systems have been applied for the determination of diverse analytes, such as food pollutants, heavy metals, catecholamines, thiols, glucose, peroxides, some active pharmaceutical ingredients, and poisonous gases. These procedures have also taken place, on occasion, in the presence of various polymers, ionic liquids, and other moieties. In the review, studies are presented that were performed for sensing purposes, involving azaporphyrins embedded on graphene, graphene oxide or carbon nanotubes (both single and multi-walled ones). Moreover, possible methods of electrode fabrication, limits of detection of each analyte, as well as examples of macrocyclic compounds applied as sensing materials, are critically discussed.

Abstract
Here a sensing strategy with the integration of photosensitizer and electrochemical analysis was present. The photosensitizer, Zinc(II) tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTCPP), was functionalized graphene oxide (GO) to form complex (ZnTCPP/GO) as the electrode material and generated singlet-oxygen (1O2) in the presence of air under light illumination. Due to the special electronic structure of 1O2, hydroquinone (HQ) could react with 1O2 to produce electrochemically-detectable products, benzoquinone (BQ). Meanwhile, the formed BQ could be reduced on the electrode, completing the redox cycling. The ZnTCPP/GO modified ITO electrode produces a stable and enhanced photocurrent signal under 420 nm irradiation in air-saturated buffer, compared with in N2-saturated buffer. On the other hand, l-glutathione (GSH) as a signalling molecule plays important role in physiological process, which was employed as model to investigated the sensing performance. Coupling with HQ oxidized by 1O2, a GSH sensor was constructed on the basis the redox cycling of HQ. A sensitive reduction of photocurrent is observed with the addition of GSH, due to the GSH could be oxidized by the generated 1O2 to form GSSG. The biosensor displayed good performance in a broad concentration range of 0-150 μM, with a lower detection limit of 1.3 μM at an S/N ratio of 3, and could be used in practical application. This work affords a platform for constructing the biosensor with 1O2 instead of enzyme via on/off light switching.

Abstract
Here we develop a simple and effective nose/tongue sensor array based on Co-N-C single-atom nanozymes-3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 for colorimetric discrimination of antioxidants, which makes use of the color reaction of TMB oxidation by H2O2 in two different pH (3.8 and 4.6) environments under the catalysis of Co-N-C nanoenzyme with peroxidase-like activity. Different antioxidants have varying reducing ability to the oxidation products of TMB (oxTMB), thus resulting in differential absorbance and color changes. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) results indicate that the sensor array successfully identified 7 antioxidants, i.e., glutathione (GSH), ascorbic acid (AA), cysteine (Cys), tannin (TA), Catechin (C), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA) in both buffer and even serum samples. Additionally, the performance of the sensor array was validated with antioxidant mixtures, individual antioxidants with different concentrations, and target antioxidants and interfering substances. In general, the versatile sensor array based on Co-N-C single-atom nanozymes provides an excellent strategy for identifying a variety of antioxidants, which exhibits a broad application prospect in medical diagnosis.

Abstract
Herein, we develop a facile, sensitive, and selective fluorescent nanosensor for the detection of glutathione (GSH). In this protocol, carbon dots (Cdots) with a fairly high quantum yield were synthesized by a microwave-assisted pyrolysis technique. Moreover, different shapes of the MnO2 nanostructure were also prepared by the hydrothermal technique. A comparative photophysical study of different morphology-dependent Cdots@MnO2 nanostructure-based biosensors was explored, which showed different results for the quenching values of ("turn-off") fluorescence intensity, quantum yields, electron transfer rate, and average lifetime. The structure, property, and performance of nanomaterials are interdependent. Therefore, the different shapes of MnO2, that is, nanoflowers (NFs), nanorods (NRs), and a mixture of NFs/NRs was prepared by the hydrothermal method owing to different specific surface areas (23-69 m2 g-1) which put the impact on their sensing activity. It was observed that the variation in the different photophysical parameters of fluorescent Cdots such as quantum yield (Φ), average lifetime values [τav (ns)], radiative (kr) rate constant, nonradiative (knr) rate constant, rate of electron transfer (kET), the efficiency of electron transfer (ΦEET), FRET efficiency (E), and Förster distance (R0) were dependent on the different shapes of the MnO2 nanostructure. These results indicate that the transfer of energy occurs between the Cdots and different shapes of MnO2 nanostructures based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer at different charge-transfer rates. The recovery rate ("turn-on") of fluorescence of Cdots with the addition of GSH was obtained best for the NF structure by conversion of MnO2 to Mn2+, and the limit of detection was obtained as ∼19 μM for GSH. The developed sensing probes were rapid, easy, cheap, and eco-friendly for the determination of GSH.

Abstract
Herein, we proposed an innovative visual quantitative sensing strategy based on thiol-ene click chemistry and the capillary action principle. A triethoxyvinylsilane (VTEO)- or mercaptopropylsilatrane (MPS)-modified interface was prepared for analyte recognition. Target analyte molecules containing thiol groups or C═C double bonds are coupled to the VTEO- or MPS-modified inner surface of the glass capillary tube via a thiol-ene click reaction, respectively. Then, the molecular recognition events were transformed into the wettability change of the inner wall of the glass capillary. The concentration of the target molecules was quantified by reading the height change of the water column in the capillary tube. As a proof of concept, this strategy was successfully used to build visual quantitative sensors for detecting glutathione and cholesterol. In addition, this strategy showed a good anti-interference ability to complex biological fluids and realized sensitive glutathione (GSH) and cholesterol detection in real human blood samples.

Abstract
A speciation study on the interaction between Ca2+ and ligands of biological interest in aqueous solution is reported. The ligands under study are l-cysteine (Cys), d-penicillamine (PSH), reduced glutathione (GSH), and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). From the elaboration of the potentiometric experimental data the most likely speciation patterns obtained are characterized by only protonated species with a 1:1 metal to ligand ratio. In detail, two species, CaLH2 and CaLH, for systems containing Cys, PSH, and GSH, and five species, CaLH5, CaLH4, CaLH3, CaLH2, and CaLH, for system containing GSSG, were observed. The potentiometric titrations were performed at different temperatures (15 ≤ t/°C ≤ 37, at I = 0.15 mol L-1). The enthalpy and entropy change values were calculated for all systems, and the dependence of the formation constants of the complex species on the temperature was evaluated. 1H NMR spectroscopy, MALDI mass spectrometry, and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) investigations on Ca2+-ligand solutions were also employed, confirming the interactions and underlining characteristic complexing behaviors of Cys, PSH, GSH, and GSSG toward Ca2+. The results of the analysis of 1H NMR experimental data are in full agreement with potentiometric ones in terms of speciation models and stability constants of the species. MALDI mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analyses confirm the formation of Ca2+-L complex species and elucidate the mechanism of interaction. On the basis of speciation models, simulations of species formation under conditions of some biological fluids were reported. The sequestering ability of Cys, PSH, GSH, and GSSG toward Ca2+ was evaluated under different conditions of pH and temperature and under physiological condition.

Abstract
There is an ongoing need to develop high-performance sensing strategy for detecting and discriminating antioxidants, primarily because of their role in medical diagnosis and food. In this regard, visual sensor arrays have been a subject of intensive research for such applications. To this end, we propose a colorimetric sensor array for accurate detection and identification of antioxidants, which is based on the reactions between 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and metal ions as sensing receptors and the interactions between antioxidants and oxidized TMB (oxTMB). Different target antioxidants displayed diverse reduction abilities toward the oxTMB, creating distinct colorimetric response patterns. The combination of colorimetric response variation at color and absorbance at 652 nm enables the sensor array to provide a unique fingerprint pattern to each antioxidant. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and centroid diagrams show that the sensor array can well detect and discriminate the eight tested antioxidants, including lipoic acid (LIA), cysteine (Cys), tannin (TA), ascorbic acid (AA), glutathione (GSH), Uric Acid (UA), glycine (Gly), and dopamine (DA), with a high sensitivity in the range of nanomolar concentrations.

Responses of different interfering substances to the developed probe were investigated, and the luminescence mechanism was examined by theoretical calculations. Results revealed that EQR-S can be applied for the rapid, sensitive determination of the GSH concentration with a detection limit of 69 nM. Based on the above advantages, EQR-S was successfully applied to investigate the fluctuation in the GSH concentration of living cells under high-temperature stress.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) plays a variety of vital functions in biological systems. Growth-associated change of GSH level in cells might be critical for cell survival and monitoring of GSH in living cells are of great significance for understanding the dynamic link between GSH and some diseases. In this work, chitason micelles templated gold nanoclusters (CM-Au NCs) emitting red fluorescence were prepared with a simple and rapid method, which shows interesting phenomenon of aggregation induced emission (AIE) affected by the size of the chitosan micelles. The unique CM-Au NCs can be used to develop turn-off fluorescent probe for detecting GSH in human serum and living cells based on the reverse process of AIE of CM-Au NCs, completely different from the principle of aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) effect, which can distinguish GSH from other biothiols (cysteine and homocysteine) and quantitatively detect GSH concentration of human serum in healthy people and cancer patients with high sensitivity. The practical application of fluorescent CM-Au NCs for cellular imaging and detecting GSH level indicates ultra-trace changes of GSH levels in normal and cancer cells could be monitored at different growth stages, which reveals that the levels of GSH in cancer cells was always higher than that of normal cells. Compared with commercial GSH assay kits for detection GSH in human serum and living cells, the proposed method was verified to be accuracy and precision. The results not only reflect the changes of GSH during cell growth at different stages, but also demonstrate the feasibility of reverse process of AIE of CM-Au NCs for detection GSH. This strategy would provide a platform to understand the dynamic link between GSH and disease to clarify the disease mechanism.

Abstract
The present paper is aimed at providing an overview of the recent advances in the electrochemical sensing of glutathione (GSH), an important electrochemically and biologically active molecule, for the period 2012-2018. Herein, the analytical performances of newly developed electrochemical methods, procedures and protocols for GSH sensing are comprehensively and critically discussed with respect to the type of method, electrodes used (new electrode modifications, advanced materials and formats), sample matrices, and basic validation parameters obtained (limit of detection, linear dynamic range, precision, selectivity/evaluation of interferences). This paper considers electrochemical methods used alone as well as the hyphenated methods with electrochemical detection (ECD), such as HPLC-ECD or CE-ECD. The practical applicability of the platforms developed for GSH detection and quantification is mostly focused on pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. The most significant electrochemical approaches for GSH detection in multicomponent analyte samples and multicomponent matrices and for real-time in vivo GSH analysis are highlighted. The great variability in the electrochemical techniques, electrode approaches, and obtainable performance parameters, discussed in this review, brought new insights not only on current GSH and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) determinations, but, along with this, on the advances in electrochemical analysis from a more general point of view.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel ultrasensitive signal-on electrochemical aptasensor has been proposed for Ochratoxin A (OTA) assay based on DNA controlled layer-by-layer assembly of dual gold nanoparticle (AuNP) conjugates. To construct the aptasensor, the 1st AuNP conjugate was prepared by simultaneous immobilization of the capture probe 2 (CP2) and bridge probe (BP) onto the AuNPs. Then, OTA aptamer was loaded onto 1st AuNPs by hybridization with CP2. The 1st AuNP conjugate can be further immobilized onto the electrode by hybridization between BP and capture probe 1 (CP1), which was pre-immobilized on Au electrode. The 2nd AuNP conjugate was prepared by immobilization of ferrocene (Fc) tagged SH-signal probe (SSP). Due to the recognition between aptamer on 1st AuNP conjugate and OTA, CP2 was reformed in the ssDNA state, which can be utilized as the anchor for immobilization of 2nd AuNP conjugate for electrochemical signal reporting. Because of the high surface-to-volume ratio and good conductivity of AuNPs, this dual AuNPs assembled nanoarchitecture finally lead to greatly improved abilities to load a large number of Fc molecules and significantly amply the electrochemical response even at a low target concentration. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis of OTA were thus realized by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) signals, resulting in an excellent detection limit of 0.001 ppb and a wide dynamic range from 0.001 to 500 ppb over 6 orders of magnitude. Moreover, the real sample analysis towards OTA spiked wine samples was favorable, implying a great potential for practical applications. We envision that this unique dual AuNP conjugate assembly strategy would pave a new avenue for the development of versatile signal amplified electrochemical aptasensors.

Abstract
This report outlines a highly sensitive and facile electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platform based on a novel high-quantum-yield Au-nanocluster (AuNC) probe for glutathione (GSH) detection. Owing to the prominent quenching effect of GSH on the ECL of the AuNCs, the proposed ECL nanosensor showed a wide response to GSH in the ranges of 1.0 × 10-9-1.0 × 10-5M and 1.0 × 10-5-1.0 × 10-1M and a low detection limit of 3.2 × 10-10M. In addition, the proposed system exhibited good selectivity for GSH in the presence of other chemical/biological interferences. Moreover, since no further functionalization of AuNC-based sensor interface was necessary, together with the stability, high sensitivity and selectivity of the proposed nanosensor, this convenient approach was able to successfully detect GSH in both of human urine samples and blood samples with excellent recoveries, which indicated its promising application under physiological conditions. Of significant importance is that this study not only helps in gaining a better understanding of the applicability of the ECL properties of AuNCs, but also provides a new avenue for the design and development of ECL sensors based on the novel high-quantum-yield AuNC-based probe and other functional-metal-based NC probes.
