Abstract
Since its discovery in 1984, the monoamine serotonin (5-HT) has been recognized for its critical role as a neuromodulator in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Recent research reveals that serotonin also significantly influences various neuronal activities. Historically, it was believed that peripheral serotonin, produced by tryptophan hydroxylase in intestinal cells, functioned primarily as a hormone. However, new insights have expanded its known roles, necessitating advanced detection methods. Biosensors have emerged as indispensable tools in biomedical diagnostics, enabling the rapid and minimally invasive detection of target analytes with high spatial and temporal resolution. This review summarizes the progress made in the past decade in developing optical and electrochemical biosensors for serotonin detection. We evaluate various sensing strategies that optimize performance in terms of detection limits, sensitivity, and specificity. The study also explores recent innovations in biosensing technologies utilizing surface-modified electrodes with nanomaterials, including gold, graphite, carbon nanotubes, and metal oxide particles. Applications range from in vivo studies to chemical imaging and diagnostics, highlighting future prospects in the field.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical sensor was constructed based on an enzyme-mediated physiological reaction between neurotransmitter serotonin per-oxidation to reconstruct dual-molecule 4,4'-dimeric-serotonin self-assembled derivative, and the potential biomedical application of the multi-functional nano-platform was explored. Serotonin accelerated the catalytic activity to form a dual molecule at the C4 position and created phenolic radical-radical coupling intermediates in a peroxidase reaction system. Here, 4,4' dimeric-serotonin possessed the capability to recognize intermolecular interactions between amine groups. The excellent quenching effects on top of the gold surface electrode system archive logically inexpensive and straightforward analytical demands. In biochemical sensing analysis, the serotonin dimerization concept demonstrated a robust, low-cost, and highly sensitive immunosensor, presenting the potential of quantifying serotonin at point-of-care (POC) testing. The high-specificity serotonin electrochemical sensor had a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.9 nM in phosphate buffer and 1.4 nM in human serum samples and a linear range of 10 to 400 with a sensitivity of 2.0 × 10-2 nM. The bivalent 4,4'-dimer-serotonin interaction strategy provides a promising platform for serotonin biosensing with high specificity, sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. The self-assembling gold surface electrochemical system presents a new analytical method for explicitly detecting tiny neurotransmitter-responsive serotonin neuromolecules.

Bioelectrochemistry 2022; 144:108046. [PMID: 35030457 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2021.108046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2021] [Revised: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
We have developed a powerful biosensing strategy for immobilizing histidine-tagged (His-Tag)-oriented recombinant nano-protein immobilization on a chemically modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surfaces via (S)-N-(5-amino-1-carboxypentyl)iminodiacetic acid (ANTA) acting as a chelating Ni2+ centered interaction. Here, we introduce a label-free electro-sensor to quantify cortisol levels in saliva samples for point-of-care testing (POCT). The high specificity of the chemically modified GCE was established by genetically bio-engineered metal-binding sites on the selected recombinant apoferritin (R-AFTN) nano-protein to impart functionality to its surface and by coating the carbon surface with the self-assembled monolayers of 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) attached to ANTA groups complexed with Ni2+ transition metal ions. Despite the variety of conventional assays available to monitor cortisol levels, they require bulky exterior outfits, which hinders use in the healthcare systems. Therefore, we performed a rapid, easy-to-implement, and low-cost quantitative electro-sensor to enable the real-time detection of cortisol levels in saliva samples. As a result, the cortisol electro-sensor fabricated with high specificity utilizing a GCE could measure cortisol levels with a detection limit of 0.95 ng/ml and sensitivity of 7.91 μA/(ng/mL), which is a practical approach in human saliva. Thus, protein nanoprobe-based cortisol biosensing showed high sensitivity and selectivity for the direct electro-sensing of cortisol for POCT.

Abstract
Chemically modulating monoamine neurotransmitter serotonin undergoes a physiological reaction of enzyme intermediated peroxidation to reconstruct dimeric self-assembled complex. A standard bivalent ligand approach dimeric serotonin increases structural and functional scaffolding with recognition-binding sites that are fundamentally more friendly than monovalent binding sites. Dimerization reaction accelerates the catalytic activity of one-electron oxidation at the C(4) position of serotonin to generate dual phenolic radicals in the presence of horseradish (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Herein, we suggest the dimeric serotonin-based colorimetric assay, which presents a new rapid, sensitive, selective, and quantitative visualization. The dimeric serotonin possesses the capability to recognize intermolecular interaction units that cause aggregation scaffold of gold nanoparticles (GNPs), providing inexpensive and straightforward analytical needs. As a proof of visual and spectral analysis, peroxidative dimeric serotonin demonstrated sensitive and robust results. The calorimetric method enables highly sensitive detection of serotonin in phosphate buffer, and in human serum samples at nanomolar levels with a LOD of 2.6 nM and 2.81 nM, respectively, and the sensor possesses a dynamic range of 100-300 nM in buffer condition. Also, as proof of concept, visible color imaging of immunosensors which is appropriate for fast visible testing at detection limits as low as 2.90 nM concentration.

Abstract
When dealing with infectious pathogens, the risk of contamination or infection in the process of detecting them is nonnegligible. Separation-free detection will be beneficial in operation and safety. In this work, we proposed a DNAzyme walker for homogeneous and isothermal detection of enterovirus. The DNAzyme is divided into two inactivate subunits. When the subunit-conjugated antibody binds to the target virus, the activity of the DNAzyme recovers as a result of spatial proximity. The walker propels, and the fluorescence recovers. The final fluorescence intensity of the reaction mixture is related to the concentration of the target virus. The detection limit of this proposed method is 6.6 × 104 copies/mL for EV71 and 4.3 × 104 copies/mL for CVB3, respectively. Besides, this method was applied in detection of EV71 in clinical samples with a satisfactory result. The entire experiment is easy to operate, and the proposed method has great potential for practical use.

Abstract
Salmon fish farmers face remarkable problems in fish rearing and handling due to the spread of disease by infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). Therefore, we developed a straightforward and sensitive technique to detect IPNV-based on recombinant human apoferritin heavy chain (hAFN-H) protein nanoparticles. In this study, the 24 subunits of the hAFN-H were genetically modified to express 6×His-tag and protein-G at their C-terminal site using Escherichia coli. We thus achieved a two-step signal amplifying strategy that utilizes a recombinant hAFN-H nanoprobe having a protein-G-binding site that targets the Fc region of monoclonal antibodies and a 6×His-tag that actively interacts with the functionalized Ni-NTA derivatives. In this study, we report a considerable advancement in magnetic bead-based detection systems that use Ni-NTA-Atto 550, reliably exhibiting detection limits of 1.02 TCID50/mL (50% tissue culture infective dose). Additionally, we propose a lateral flow chip-based detection method that uses the hAFN-H surface functionalized with 5 nm of the Ni-NTA-nanogold complex as a nanoprobe; the limit of detection towards IPNV was 0.88 TCID50/mL. The detection of IPNV by this recombinant hAFN-H nanoprobe was linear to virus titers in the range of 101-103 TCID50/mL.
