A SERS-based point-of-care testing approach for efficient determination of diquat and paraquat residues using a flexible silver flower-coated melamine sponge. Food Chem 2024; 454:139831. [PMID: 38838408 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139831] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Diquat (DQ) and paraquat (PQ) residues in food are potential hazards to consumers' health. Point-of-care testing (POCT) of them remains challenging. Based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology, we developed a POCT strategy for DQ and PQ on apple surface and in apple juice. A point-of-use composite was fabricated using a piece of porous melamine sponge (MS) modified with silver nanoflowers (AgNFs), combining the specificity of the SERS fingerprint and the excellent adsorption capacity of MS. Using this dual-functional AgNFs@MS, the on-site determination of the DQ and PQ residues was completed within 3 min without pretreatment. Clear trends were observed between SERS intensity and logarithmic concentrations, with r values from 0.962 to 0.984. The limit of detection of DQ and PQ were 0.14-0.70 ppb in apple juice and on apple surface. This study provides a new point-of-use alternative for rapidly detecting DQ and PQ residues in nonlaboratory settings.

Abstract
Concave nanocrystals stand out as a testament to the importance of the nanoscale morphology in dictating the functional properties of materials. In this report, we introduce a facile synthesis method for producing gold (Au) nanocrystals with a truncated octahedral morphology that features surface concavities (Au CNTOs). The incorporation of selenium (Se) doping into the truncated octahedral Au seeds was essential for their enlargement and the formation of concave structures. By simply adjusting the quantity of seeds, we could control the size of the nanocrystals while maintaining their distinctive morphology and surface concavity. The formation mechanism suggests that Se doping likely passivates the side faces, thereby slowing growth and promoting atomic deposition at the edges and corners. The resulting Se-doped Au CNTOs exhibited strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorptions in the visible spectrum and the SERS performance of their assemblies was demonstrated through crystal violet detection, reaching enhancement factors around 105. This study presents an innovative approach to synthesizing concave Au nanocrystals through the incorporation of selenium during a seeded growth process, offering insights into the strategic design of plasmonic nanostructures.

Abstract
The convergence of DNA origami and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has opened a new avenue in bioanalytical sciences, particularly in the detection of single-molecule proteins. This breakthrough has enabled the development of advanced sensor technologies for diagnostics. DNA origami offers a highly controllable framework for the precise positioning of nanostructures, resulting in superior SERS signal amplification. In our investigation, we have successfully designed and synthesized DNA origami-based gold nanorod monomer and dimer assemblies. Moreover, we have evaluated the potential of dimer assemblies for label-free detection of a single biomolecule, namely epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a crucial biomarker in cancer research. Our findings have revealed that the significant Raman amplification generated by DNA origami-assembled gold nanorod dimer nanoantennas facilitates the label-free identification of Raman peaks of single proteins, which is a prime aim in biomedical diagnostics. The present work represents a significant advancement in leveraging plasmonic nanoantennas to realize single protein SERS for the detection of various cancer biomarkers with single-molecule sensitivity.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an attractive technique in molecular detection with high sensitivity and label-free characteristics. However, its use in protein detection is limited by the large volume of proteins, hindering its approach to the narrow spaces of hotspots. In this study, we fabricated a Au nanoTriangle plate Array on Gel (AuTAG) as an SERS substrate by attaching a Au nanoTriangle plate (AuNT) arrangement on a thermoresponsive hydrogel surface. The AuTAG acts as an actively tunable plasmonic device, on which the interparticle distance is altered by controlling temperature via changes in hydrogel volume. Further, we designed a Gel Filter Trapping (GFT) method as an active protein delivery strategy based on the characteristics of hydrogels, which can absorb water and separate biopolymers through their three-dimensional (3D) polymer networks. On the AuTAGs, fabricated with AuNTs modified with charged surface ligands to prevent the nonspecific adsorption of analytes to particles, the GFT method helped the delivery of proteins to hotspot areas on the AuNT arrangement. This combination of a AuTAG substrate and the GFT method enables ultrahigh sensitivity for protein detection by SERS up to a single-molecule level as well as a wide quantification concentration range of 6 orders due to their geometric advantages.

Abstract
The early monitoring and inactivation of bacteria are of crucial importance in preventing the further spread of foodborne pathogens. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a prototypical foodborne pathogen, is widely present in the natural environment and has the capability to trigger a range of diseases at low concentrations. In this work, we designed Fe3O4@SiO2-Au core-shell-satellite nanocomposites (NCs) modified with aptamer for efficient capture, high-sensitivity surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection, and photothermal therapy (PTT) against S. aureus. Fe3O4@SiO2-Au NCs with tunable Au nanocrystal nanogaps were prepared. By combining the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and experimental results, we studied the electric field distribution of Fe3O4@SiO2-Au under different Au nanogaps and ultimately obtained the optimal SERS substrate FSA-60. The modification of aptamer on the surfaces of FSA-60 could be used for the specific capture and selective detection of S. aureus, achieving a detection limit of as low as 50 cfu/mL. Furthermore, Apt-FSA-60 possessed excellent photothermal properties, demonstrating the strong photothermal killing ability against S. aureus. Therefore, Apt-FSA-60 is a promising high-sensitivity SERS substrate and efficient photothermal agent and is expected to be widely applied and promoted in future disease prevention and treatment.

Abstract
The detection of a single-enzyme catalytic reaction by surfaced-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is presented by utilizing DNA origami-based plasmonic antennas. A single horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was accommodated on a DNA origami nanofork plasmonic antenna (DONA) containing gold nanoparticles, enabling the tracing of single-molecule SERS signals during the peroxide reduction reaction. This allows monitoring of the structure of a single enzymatic catalytic center and products under suitable liquid conditions. Herein, we demonstrate the chemical changes of HRP and the appearance of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), which works as a hydrogen donor before and after the catalytic reaction. The results show that the iron in HRP adopts Fe4+ and low spin states with the introduction of H2O2, indicating compound-I formation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed for later catalytic steps to rationalize the experimental Raman/SERS spectra. The presented data provide several possibilities for tracking single biomolecules in situ during a chemical reaction and further developing plasmon-enhanced biocatalysis.

Abstract
Photolithography has been the foundational fabrication paradigm in current high-performance electronics. However, due to the limitation in fabrication resolution, scaling beyond a 20-nm critical dimension for metal conductors presents a significant challenge for photolithography. Structural DNA nanotechnology emerges as a promising alternative to photolithography, allowing for the site-specific assembly of nano-materials at single-molecule resolution. Substantial progresses have been achieved in the ultra-scaled DNA-based conductors, exhibiting novel transport characteristics and small critical dimensions. This review highlights the structure-transport property relationship for various DNA-based conductors and their potential applications in quantum /semiconductor electronics, going beyond the conventional scope focusing mainly on the shape diversity of DNA-templated metals. Different material synthesis methods and their morphological impacts on the conductivities are discussed in detail, with particular emphasis on the conducting mechanisms, such as insulating, metallic conducting, quantum tunneling, and superconducting. Furthermore, the ionic gating effect of self-assembled DNA structures in electrolyte solutions is examined. This review also suggests potential solutions to address current challenges in DNA-based conductors, encouraging multi-disciplinary collaborations for the future development of this exciting area.

Abstract
Simultaneous detection and structural characterization of protein variants on a single platform are highly desirable but technically challenging. Herein, we present a single-molecule spectral system based on a gold plasmonic nanopore for analyzing two peptides and their single-point mutated variants. The gold plasmonic nanopore enabled the high-throughput acquisition of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra at the single-molecule level by electrically driving analytes into hot spots. Furthermore, a statistical method based on Boolean operations was developed to extract prominent features from fluctuated single-molecule SERS spectra. The effects of the single-amino acid substitutions on both the intramolecular interactions and the peptide conformations were directly characterized by the nanopore system, and the results agreed with the predictions by AlphaFold2. This study highlights the mutual benefits of spectroscopy and nanopore technology, whereby the gold plasmonic nanopore offers a powerful tool for the structural analysis of single-molecule proteins.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has revolutionized the fabrication of hybrid species with tailored functionalities. A milestone in this field is the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) conjugation of nanoparticles, introduced almost 30 years ago, which typically exploits the affinity between thiol groups and metallic surfaces. Over the last decades, developments in colloidal research have enabled the synthesis of an assortment of nonmetallic structures, such as high-index dielectric nanoparticles, with unique properties not previously accessible with traditional metallic nanoparticles. However, to stabilize, integrate, and provide further functionality to nonmetallic nanoparticles, reliable techniques for their functionalization with DNA will be crucial. Here, we combine well-established dibenzylcyclooctyne-azide click-chemistry with a simple freeze-thaw method to achieve the functionalization of silica and silicon nanoparticles, which form exceptionally stable colloids with a high DNA surface density of ∼0.2 molecules/nm2. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these functionalized colloids can be self-assembled into high-index dielectric dimers with a yield of over 50% via the use of DNA origami. Finally, we extend this method to functionalize other important nanomaterials, including oxides, polymers, core-shell, and metal nanostructures. Our results indicate that the method presented herein serves as a crucial complement to conventional thiol functionalization chemistry and thus greatly expands the toolbox of DNA-functionalized nanoparticles currently available.

Abstract
Herein, we report a DNA origami plasmonic nanoantenna for the programmable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of cytokine release syndrome (CRS)-associated cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)) in cancer immunotherapy. Typically, the nanoantenna was made of self-assembled DNA origami nanotubes (diameter: ∼19 nm; length: ∼90 nm) attached to a silver nanoparticle-modified silicon wafer (AgNP/Si). Each DNA origami nanotube contains one miniature gold nanorod (AuNR) inside (e.g., length: ∼35 nm; width: ∼7 nm). Intriguingly, TNF-α and IFN-γ logically regulate the opening of the nanotubes and the dissociation of the AuNRs from the origami structure upon binding to their corresponding aptamers. On this basis, we constructed a complete set of Boolean logic gates that read cytokine molecules as inputs and return changes in Raman signals as outputs. Significantly, we demonstrated that the presented system enables the quantification of TNF-α and IFN-γ in the serum of tumor-bearing mice receiving different types of immunotherapies (e.g., PD1/PD-L1 complex inhibitors and STING agonists). The sensing results are consistent with those of the ELISA. This strategy fills a gap in the use of DNA origami for the detection of multiple cytokines in real systems.

Abstract
A persistent challenge in utilizing Au nanocrystals for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) lies in achieving controllable superstructures that maximize SERS performance. Here, a novel strategy is proposed to enhance the SERS performance by precisely adjusting the tip arrangements of Au nanobipyramids (BPs) in two-dimensional (2D) superlattices (SLs). This is achieved through ligand-exchange of Au BPs, followed by liquid-air interfacial assembly, resulting in large-area, transferrable SL membranes. The key to controlling the arrangement of Au BPs in the SLs is the regulation of the amount of free ligands added during self-assembly, which allows for the precise formation of various configurations such as tilted SLs, tip-on-tip SLs, and tip-to-tip SLs. Among these configurations, tip-on-tip SLs exhibit the highest enhancement factor for SERS, reaching an impressive value of 1.95×108, with uniform and consistent SERS signals across a large area. The experimental findings are further corroborated by simulations using the finite element method. This study establishes an efficient method for engineering the microstructure of 2D SLs composed of Au BPs, highlighting the importance of fine-tuning the tip arrangements of Au BPs to regulate SERS performance.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (AuNRs) with unique optical properties play a pivotal role in applications in plasmonic imaging, small molecule detection, and photothermal therapy. However, challenges in DNA functionalization of AuNRs hinder their full potential due to the presence of a dense cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) bilayer, impeding close DNA contact. In this study, we introduced a convenient approach for the rapid assembly of polyadenine (polyA) tailed DNA on AuNRs with control of DNA density, rigidity, and valence. We explored the impact of DNA with designed properties on the construction of core-satellite structures by employing AuNRs as cores and spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNSs) as satellites. Density, rigidity, and valence are identified as crucial factors for efficient construction. Specifically, polyA-tailed DNA modulated DNA density and reduced spatial hindrance and electrostatic repulsion, thereby facilitating the construction. Enhancing the rigidity of DNA and incorporating multiple binding sites can further improve the efficiency.

Abstract
Creating customizable metallic nanostructures in a simple and controllable manner has been a long-standing goal in nanoscience. In this study, we use DNA origami as a letterpress printing plate and gold nanoparticles as ink to produce predesigned gold nanostructures. The letterpress plate is reusable, enabling the repetitive production of predesigned gold nanostructures. Furthermore, by modifying the DNA origami letterpress plate on magnetic beads, we can simplify the printing processes. We have successfully printed gold nanoparticle dimers, trimers, straight and quadrilateral tetramers, and other nanostructures. Our approach improves the flexibility and stability of metallic nanostructures, simplifying both their design and their operation. It promises universal applicability in the fabrication of metamaterials, biosensors, and surface plasma nanooptics.
