Nguyen SH, Nguyen VN, Tran MT. Ampicillin detection using absorbance biosensors utilizing Mn-doped ZnS capped with chitosan micromaterials. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31617. [PMID: 38826735 PMCID: PMC11141450 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
The detection of ampicillin plays a crucial role in managing and monitoring its usage and resistance. This study introduces a simple and effective biosensor for ampicillin detection, utilizing the unique absorbance features of Mn-doped ZnS capped by chitosan micromaterials in conjunction with β-lactamase activity. The biosensors can detect ampicillin concentrations from 13.1 to 72.2 μM, with a minimum detection limit of 2.93 μM for sensors based on 300 mg/L of the sensing material. In addition, these sensors show high specificity for ampicillin over other antibiotics such as penicillin, tetracycline, amoxicillin, cephalexin, and a non-antibiotic-glucose. This specificity is demonstrated by an enhancing effect when beta-lactamase is used, as opposed to a quenching effect observed at 340 nm in the absorbance spectrum when no beta-lactamase is present. This research highlights the potential of affordable chitosan-capped Mn-doped ZnS micromaterials for detecting ampicillin through simple absorbance measurements, which could improve the monitoring of antibiotics in both clinical and environmental settings.

Abstract
The inappropriate employment of antibiotics across diverse industries has engendered profound apprehensions concerning their cumulative presence within human bodies and food commodities. Consequently, many nations have instituted stringent measures limiting the admissible quantities of antibiotics in food items. Nonetheless, conventional techniques employed for antibiotic detection prove protracted and laborious, prompting a dire necessity for facile, expeditious, and uncomplicated detection methodologies. In this regard, aptamer-based fluorescent DNA biosensors (AFBs) have emerged as a sanguine panacea to surmount the limitations of traditional detection modalities. These ingenious biosensors harness the binding prowess of aptamers, singular strands of DNA/RNA, to selectively adhere to specific target antibiotics. Notably, the AFBs demonstrate unparalleled selectivity, affinity, and sensitivity in detecting antibiotics. This comprehensive review meticulously expounds upon the strides achieved in AFBs for antibiotic detection, particularly emphasizing the labeling modality and the innovative free-label approach. It also elucidates the design principles behind a diverse array of AFBs. Additionally, a succinct survey of signal amplification strategies deployed within these biosensors is provided. The central objective of this review is to apprise researchers from diverse disciplines of the contemporary trends in AFBs for antibiotic detection. By doing so, it aspires to instigate a concerted endeavor toward the development of heightened sensitivity and pioneering AFBs, thereby contributing to the perpetual advancement of antibiotic detection methodologies.

Graphene-based materials and DNA probes/nanostructures have emerged as building blocks for constructing powerful biosensors. Graphene-based materials possess exceptional properties, including two-dimensional atomically flat basal planes for biomolecule binding. DNA probes serve as excellent selective probes, exhibiting specific recognition capabilities toward diverse target analytes. Meanwhile, DNA nanostructures function as placement scaffolds, enabling the precise organization of molecular species at nanoscale and the positioning of complex biomolecular assays. The interplay of DNA probes/nanostructures and graphene-based materials has fostered the creation of intricate hybrid materials with user-defined architectures. This advancement has resulted in significant progress in developing novel biosensors for detecting DNA, RNA, small molecules, and proteins, as well as for DNA sequencing. Consequently, a profound understanding of the interactions between DNA and graphene-based materials is key to developing these biological devices. In this review, we systematically discussed the current comprehension of the interaction between DNA probes and graphene-based materials, and elucidated the latest advancements in DNA probe-graphene-based biosensors. Additionally, we concisely summarized recent research endeavors involving the deposition of DNA nanostructures on graphene-based materials and explored imminent biosensing applications by seamlessly integrating DNA nanostructures with graphene-based materials. Finally, we delineated the primary challenges and provided prospective insights into this rapidly developing field. We envision that this review will aid researchers in understanding the interactions between DNA and graphene-based materials, gaining deeper insight into the biosensing mechanisms of DNA-graphene-based biosensors, and designing novel biosensors for desired applications.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring of doxorubicin (DOX) is important to study pharmacokinetics in patients undergoing chemotherapy for reduction of side effects and improve patient survival by rationally controlling the dose of DOX. A fast and ultra-sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detector without sample pre-handling was developed for DOX monitoring. First, the two-dimensional metal-organic framework was modified on the Au film to enhance SPR, and then, the supramolecular probes with tunable cavity structure were self-assembled at the sensing interface for direct detection of DOX through specific host-guest interactions with a low detection limit of 60.24 pM. The precise monitoring of DOX in serum proved the possibility of clinical application with recoveries in the range 102.86-109.47%. The mechanisms of host-guest interactions between supramolecular and small-molecule drugs were explored in depth through first-principles calculations combined with SPR experiments. The study paves the way for designing facile and sensitive detectors and provides theoretical support and a new methodology for the specific detection of small molecules through calixarene cavity modulation.

Abstract
Synthetic biology harnesses the power of natural microbes by re-engineering metabolic pathways to manufacture desired compounds. Droplet technology has emerged as a high-throughput tool to screen single cells for synthetic biology, while the challenges in sensitive flexible single-cell secretion assay for bioproduction of high-value chemicals remained. Here, a novel droplet modifiable graphene oxide (GO) aptasensor was developed, enabling sensitive flexible detection of different target compounds secreted from single cells. Fluorophore-labeled aptamers were stably anchored on GO through π-π stacking interactions to minimize the non-specific interactions for low-background detection of target compounds with high signal-to-noise ratios. The assay's versatility was exhibited by adapting aptamer sequences to measure metabolic secretions like ATP and naringenin. To show the case, engineered E. coli were constructed for the bioproduction of naringenin. The high signal-to-noise ratio assay (∼2.72) was approached to precisely measure the naringenins secreted from single E. coli in the droplets. Consequently, secretory cells (Gib) were clearly distinguished from wild-type (WT) cells, with a low overlap in cell populations (∼0%) for bioproduction.

A novel label-free dual-mode aptasensor based on the mutual regulation of silver nanoclusters and MoSe 2 nanosheets for reliable detection of ampicillin. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1251:340997.

Abstract
Current methods for the rapid detection of trace antibiotics in the environment remains problems of low accuracy and false negative or false positive, making the development of fast, and accurate, and reliable methods for antibiotic testing a major challenge that needs to be addressed. Herein, we developed a novel label-free colorimetric and fluorescent dual-mode aptasensor assembled by the strong interaction of layered MoSe2 nanosheets (MoSe2 NSs) with ampicillin (AMP) aptamer functionalized silver nanoclusters (Apt-AgNCs) that specifically bind AMP to allow the sensitive and selective detection of AMP. Apt-AgNCs could be adsorbed on the surface of MoSe2 NSs via van der Waals force to form a nanocomposite, Apt-AgNCs/MoSe2 NSs. Interestingly, Apt-AgNCs/MoSe2 NSs act together to construct dual mode aptasensor through modulation of the intrinsic peroxidase activity of MoSe2 NSs and the fluorescence of Apt-AgNCs. In the presence of AMP, Apt-AgNCs could specifically bind AMP, triggering desorption from the MoSe2 NSs surface, leading to a decrease in the peroxidase activity of the system with the recovery in Apt-AgNCs fluorescence. The dual-signal aptasensor exhibited good linear colorimetric and fluorescence responses in the AMP concentration ranges of 0.115-2.00 μM and 6-100 nM, respectively. Furthermore, the aptasensor was successfully measured AMP levels in commercially-bought milk and lake water with satisfactory results. Unlike single-signal aptasensors, the constructed dual-signal aptasensor could not only improve the detection precision, but also reduce the false positive or false negative results. These promising results suggest that the dual-readout strategy as demonstrated is general mode for the detection of other antibiotics or compounds using various aptamers functionalized AgNCs in concert with MoSe2 NSs.

Abstract
Monitoring the anti-epileptic drug carbamazepine (CBZ) is crucial for proper dosing, optimizing a patient's clinical outcome, and managing their medication regimen. Due to its narrow therapeutic window and concentration-related toxicity, CBZ is prescribed and monitored in a highly personalized manner. We report an electrochemical conformation-changing aptasensor with two assay formats: a 30 min assay for routine monitoring and a 5 min assay for rapid emergency testing. To enable "sample-to-answer" testing, a de novo CBZ aptamer (K d < 12 nM) with conformational switching due to a G-quadruplex motif was labeled with methylene blue and immobilized on a gold electrode. The electrode fabrication and detection conditions were optimized using electrochemical techniques and visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The aptasensor performance, including reproducibility, stability, and interference, was characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and voltammetry techniques. The aptasensor exhibited a wide dynamic range in buffer (10 nM to 100 μM) with limits of detection of 1.25 and 1.82 nM for the 5 and 30 min assays, respectively. The clinical applicability is demonstrated by detecting CBZ in finger prick blood samples (<50 μL). The proposed assays provide a promising method to enable point-of-care monitoring for timely personalized CBZ dosing.

Abstract
Soluble oligomers of α-synuclein (α-syn) are known to be responsible for neuronal death in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). Thus, the development of a simple, rapid, and inexpensive method for the detection of α-syn oligomers can help PD diagnosis before irreversible damage to the brain tissue occurs. The present study is aimed at developing a FRET-based aptasensor for the selective and sensitive detection of α-syn oligomers. Herein, FAM-labeled aptamer adsorption on graphene oxide (GO) resulted in fluorescence quenching of FAM. The binding of α-syn oligomers to the aptamer led to the recovery of the fluorescence intensity. Under optimized conditions, the developed biosensor showed two linear response ranges from 10-100 nM and 250 nM to 2 μM in α-syn oligomer detection. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were calculated to be 6.3 nM and 19.3 nM, respectively. Furthermore, the performance of the sensing platform in the detection of the target analyte in biological matrices was demonstrated by the assay of α-syn oligomers in spiked human saliva samples. According to the obtained results, this sensing platform has a good performance for α-syn oligomer detection and it can be considered as a promising candidate for the early diagnosis of PD.

Abstract
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based fluorescence sensing of various target analytes has been of growing interest in the environmental, bioimaging, and diagnosis fields. Graphene-based zero- (0D) to two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, such as graphene quantum dots (GQDs), graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and graphdiyne (GD), can potentially be employed as donors/acceptors in FRET-based sensing approaches because of their unique electronic and photoluminescent properties. In this review, we discuss the basics of FRET, as well as the role of graphene-based nanomaterials (GQDs, GO, rGO, and GD) for sensing various analytes, including cations, amino acids, explosives, pesticides, biomolecules, bacteria, and viruses. In addition, the graphene-based nanomaterial sensing strategy could be applied in environmental sample analyses, and the reason for the lower detection ranges (micro- to pico-molar concentration) could also be explained in detail. Challenges and future directions for designing nanomaterials with a new sensing approach and better sensing performance will also be highlighted.

The quantum dot vs. organic dye conundrum for ratiometric FRET-based biosensors: which one would you chose? Chem Sci 2022; 13:6715-6731. [PMID: 35756504 PMCID: PMC9172442 DOI: 10.1039/d1sc06921g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a widely used and ideal transduction modality for fluorescent based biosensors as it offers high signal to noise with a visibly detectable signal. While intense efforts are ongoing to improve the limit of detection and dynamic range of biosensors based on biomolecule optimization, the selection of and relative location of the dye remains understudied. Herein, we describe a combined experimental and computational study to systematically compare the nature of the dye, i.e., organic fluorophore (Cy5 or Texas Red) vs. inorganic nanoparticle (QD), and the position of the FRET donor or acceptor on the biomolecular components. Using a recently discovered transcription factor (TF)-deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) biosensor for progesterone, we examine four different biosensor configurations and report the quantum yield, lifetime, FRET efficiency, IC50, and limit of detection. Fitting the computational models to the empirical data identifies key molecular parameters driving sensor performance in each biosensor configuration. Finally, we provide a set of design parameters to enable one to select the fluorophore system for future intermolecular biosensors using FRET-based conformational regulation in in vitro assays and new diagnostic devices.

Colorimetric assay for tetracyclines based on europium ion-induced aggregation of gold nanoparticles. ANAL SCI 2022; 38:1073-1081.

Abstract
Oxytetracycline-capped gold nanoparticles (OTC-Au NPs) were prepared using sodium borohydride as the reductant and OTC as the capping agent, respectively. The prepared OTC-Au NPs with a size of 6 nm have a maximum surface plasma resonance (SPR) absorption located at 514 nm. The OTC on the surface of Au NPs still can coordinate with Eu3+ ions. Due to the property that OTC has multivalent binding sites with Eu3+ ions, Eu3+ ions can induce the aggregation of OTC-Au NPs. Based on the Eu3+ ions-aggregated OTC-Au NPs, a simple aptamer-free colorimetric sensing method for TCs was developed. Briefly, free TCs compete with OTC on the surface of Au NPs resulting in the change of OTC-Au NPs from an aggregation state to a dispersed state. The whole process takes only 5 min, and as low as 20 nM OTC, 14 nM tetracycline (TC), and 20 nM doxycycline (DC) could be sensitively detected, respectively. The proposed method was also featured as good repeatability and specificity, and was applied to the detection of OTC in lake water with satisfactory recovery.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to create synthetic polymer receptors with the fluorescence signalling ability, using molecular imprinting, precisely designed template molecules, and site-specific post-imprinting modifications, which can mimic conjugated proteins and are capable of specific molecular recognition, and wherein successful binding can be indicated by a change in fluorescence. A molecularly imprinted APO-type nanocavity with a reconstructable domain was prepared by co-polymerisation of a template molecule containing cephalexin conjugated to polymerisable groups via a Schiff base, a disulphide bond, and a cross-linker, followed by hydrolysis of the Schiff base and a disulphide exchange reaction. Fluorescence-based indication of binding was devised by the Schiff base formation reaction with 4-formylsalicylic acid, and the interacting site was introduced via a disulphide exchange reaction with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid, yielding a multifunctional mature (HOLO)-type molecularly imprinted nanocavity. The ability to indicate binding events using changes in the fluorescence of the HOLO polymer was investigated, and it was revealed that the target antibiotic cephalexin can be selectively detected in aqueous media with high affinity (Ka = 1.1 × 104 M-1). Furthermore, the proposed sensor exhibited the potential to detect spiked cephalexin in chicken extracts with a limit of detection of 18 μM (1.3 ppm). The proposed fluorescence-sensing system based on molecular imprinting and post-imprinting modification is expected to enable the development of advanced materials for the specific detection of trace antibiotics in complex samples.

Abstract
Bifunctional fluorescent molecular oxoanion probes based on the benzoxadiazole (BD) chromophore are described which integrate a thiourea binding motif and a polymerizable 2‐aminoethyl methacrylate unit in the 4,7‐positions of the BD core. Concerted charge transfer in this electron donor‐acceptor‐donor architecture endows the dyes with strongly Stokes shifted (up to >250 nm) absorption and fluorescence. Binding of electron‐rich carboxylate guests at the thiourea receptor leads to further analyte‐induced red‐shifts of the emission, shifting the fluorescence maximum of the complexes to ≥700 nm. Association constants for acetate are ranging from 1–5×105 M−1 in acetonitrile. Integration of one of the fluorescent probes through its polymerizable moiety into molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) grafted from the surface of submicron silica cores yielded fluorescent MIP‐coated particle probes for the selective detection of antibiotics containing aliphatic carboxylate groups such as enoxacin (ENOX) at micromolar concentrations in highly polar solvents like acetonitrile.

Abstract
Composite materials and their applications constitute a hot field of research nowadays due to the fact that they comprise a combination of the unique properties of each component of which they consist. Very often, they exhibit better performance and properties compared to their combined building blocks. Graphene oxide (GO), as the most widely used derivative of graphene, has attracted widespread attention because of its excellent properties. Abundant oxygen-containing functional groups on GO can provide various reactive sites for chemical modification or functionalization of GO, which in turn can be used to develop novel GO-based composites. This review outlines the most recent advances in the field of novel dyes and pigments encompassing GO as a key ingredient or as an important cofactor. The interactions of graphene with other materials/compounds are highlighted. The special structure and unique properties of GO have a great effect on the performance of fabricated hybrid dyes and pigments by enhancing the color performance of dyes, the anticorrosion properties of pigments, the viscosity and rheology of inks, etc., which further expands the applications of dyes and pigments in dyeing, optical elements, solar-thermal energy storage, sensing, coatings, and microelectronics devices. Finally, challenges in the current development as well as the future prospects of GO-based dyes and pigments are also discussed. This review provides a reference for the further exploration of novel dyes and pigments.

Abstract
Food safety analysis plays a significant role in controlling food contamination and supervision. In recent years, multiplex optical bioassays (MOBAs) have been widely applied to analyze multiple hazards due to their efficiency and low cost. However, due to the challenges such as multiplexing capacity, poor sensitivity, and bulky instrumentation, the further application of traditional MOBAs in food screening has been limited. In this review, effective strategies regarding food safety MOBAs are summarized, such as spatial-resolution modes performed in multi-T lines/dots strips or arrays of strip/microplate/microfluidic chip/SPR chip and signal-resolution modes employing distinguishable colorimetric/luminescence/fluorescence/surface plasma resonance/surface-enhanced Raman spectrum as signal tags. Following this, new trends on how to design engineered sensor architecture and exploit distinguishable signal reporters, how to improve both multiplexing capacity and sensitivity, and how to integrate these formats into smartphones so as to be mobile are summarized systematically. Typically, in the case of enhancing multiplexing capacity and detection throughput, microfluidic array chips with multichannel architecture would be a favorable approach to overcome the spatial and physical limitations of immunochromatographic assay (ICA) test strips. Moreover, noble metal nanoparticles and single-excitation, multiple-emission luminescence nanomaterials hold great potential in developing ultrasensitive MOBAs. Finally, the exploitation of innovative multiplexing strategy hybridized with powerful and widely available smartphones opens new perspectives to MOBAs. In future, the MOBAs should be more sensitive, have higher multiplexing capacity, and easier instrumentation.

Nanozymes have piqued the curiosity of scientists in recent years because of their ability to demonstrate enzyme-like activity combined with advantages such as high stability, inexpensive availability, robust activity, and tunable properties. These attributes have allowed the successful application of nanozymes in sensing to detect various chemical and biological target analytes, overcoming the shortcomings of conventional detection techniques. In this review, we discuss recent developments of nanozyme-based sensors to detect biomarkers associated with food quality and safety. First, we present a brief introduction to this topic, followed by discussing the different types of sensors used in food biomarker detection. We then highlight recent studies on nanozyme-based sensors to detect food markers such as toxins, pathogens, antibiotics, growth hormones, metal ions, additives, small molecules, and drug residues. In the subsequent section, we discuss the challenges and possible solutions towards the development of nanozyme-based sensors for application in the food industry. Finally, we conclude the review by discussing future perspectives of this field towards successful detection and monitoring of food analytes. We present a discussion on different types of sensors used in food biomarker detection and highlight recent studies on nanozyme-based sensors to detect markers like toxins, pathogens, antibiotics, growth hormones, metal ions, additives, small molecules, drug residues.![]()

Abstract
Current advances in constructing functional nanomaterials and elegantly designed nanostructures have opened up new possibilities for the fabrication of viable field biosensors. Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have fascinated much attention due to their chemical, optical, physicochemical, and electronic properties. They are ultrathin nanomaterials with unique properties such as high surface-to-volume ratio, surface charge, shape, high anisotropy, and adjustable chemical functionality. 2DMs such as graphene-based 2D materials, Silicate clays, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), MXenes, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and transition metal oxides (TMOs) offer intensified physicochemical and biological functionality and have proven to be very promising candidates for biological applications and technologies. 2DMs have a multivalent structure that can easily bind to single-stranded DNA/RNA (aptamers) through covalent, non-covalent, hydrogen bond, and π-stacking interactions, whereas aptamers have a small size, excellent chemical stability, and low immunogenicity with high affinity and specificity. This review discussed the potential of various 2D material-based aptasensor for diagnostic applications, e.g., protein detection, environmental monitoring, pathogens detection, etc.

Abstract
Heavy metal contaminants have serious consequences for the environment and human health. Consequently, effective methods for detecting their presence, particularly in water and food, are urgently required. Accordingly, the present study proposes a sensor capable of detecting mercury Hg(II) and lead Pb(II) ions simultaneously, using graphene oxide (GO) as a quenching agent and an aptamer solution as a reagent. In the proposed device, the aptamer sequences are labeled by FAM and HEX fluorescent dyes, respectively, and are mixed well with 500 ppm GO solution before injection into one inlet of the microchannel, and the heavy metal sample solution is injected into another inlet. The presence of Hg(II) and Pb(II) ions is then detected by measuring the change in the fluorescence intensity of the GO/aptamer suspension as the aptamer molecules undergo fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The selectivity of these two ions is also shown to be clear among other mixed heavy metal ions. The experimental results show that the aptamer sensors have a linear range of 10~250 nM (i.e., 2.0~50 ppb) for Hg(II) ions and 10~100 nM (i.e., 2.1~20.7 ppb) for Pb(II) ions. Furthermore, the limit of detection is around 0.70 ppb and 0.53 ppb for Hg(II) and Pb(II), respectively, which is lower than the maximum limits of 6 ppb and 10 ppb prescribed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for Hg(II) and Pb(II) in drinking water, respectively.

Abstract
Purpose Sulfamethazine (SMZ) exposed in the environment can enter the human body through the food chain and pose a serious threat to human health. Therefore, it is important to develop a rapid and sensitive method for detecting SMZ in environmental samples. In order to fastly and quantitatively detect SMZ in environmental samples, we developed a label-free fluorescent aptasensor based on specific aptamer (SMZ1S) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and rhodamine B (RhoB). Methods In the absence of SMZ, SMZ1S was adsorbed on the surface of AuNPs, which led to dispersion of the AuNPs in high concentration saline solution, thus effectively quenching the fluorescence of RhoB. With the increase of the SMZ concentration, the specific binding of SMZ1S and SMZ led to the aggregation of AuNPs in the presence of NaCl, which reduced the quenching of RhoB fluorescence and increased the fluorescence intensity. The sensitivity and linearity curve of the label-free fluorescent aptasensor were determined with different concentrations of sulfamethazine standard solutions. The specificity of this fluorescent aptasensor was determined by replacing sulfamethazine with different antibiotics. In addition, the actual water and soil samples were spiked and recovered. Results Under optimized conditions, the proposed fluorescent aptasensor demonstrated a good linear detection of SMZ in binding buffer from 1.25 ng mL-1 to 40 ng mL-1 and the limit of detection was 0.82 ng mL-1. The spiked recoveries for SMZ were 94.4% to 108.8% with a relative standard deviation of 1.8-10.3% in water and soil samples, respectively. Conclusion The label-free fluorescent aptasensor investigated in the current study is a promising tool to detect and quantify SMZ in water and soil samples.

Abstract
The existence of contaminants in food poses a serious threat to human health. In recent years, aptamer sensors (aptasensors) have been developed rapidly for the detection of food contaminants because of their high specificity, design flexibility, and high efficiency. However, the development of high-throughput, highly sensitive, on-site, and cost-effective methods for simultaneous detection of food contaminants is still restricted due to multiple signal overlap or mutual interference and cross-reaction between different analytes with similar molecular structures. To overcome these problems, this Review summarizes some effective strategies from the articles published in recent years about multiplexed aptasensors for the simultaneous detection of food contaminants. This work focuses on the application of multiplexed aptasensors to simultaneously detect antibiotics, pathogens, and mycotoxins in food. These aptasensors mainly contain fluorescent aptasensors, electrochemical aptasensors, surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based aptasensors, microfluidic chip aptasensors, and paper-based multiplexed aptasensors. In addition, this Review also covers the application of nucleic acid cycle amplification and nanomaterial amplification strategies to improve the detection sensitivity. Finally, the limitations and challenges in the design of multiplexed aptasensor are also taken into account.

Investigation of a Truncated Aptamer for Ofloxacin Detection Using a Rapid FRET-Based Apta-Assay. Antibiotics (Basel) 2020; 9:antibiotics9120860. [PMID: 33287135 PMCID: PMC7761777 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics9120860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2020] [Revised: 11/24/2020] [Accepted: 12/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In this work, we describe the use of a new truncated aptamer for the determination of ofloxacin (OFL), being a principal quinolone commonly used in both human and animal healthcare. Since the affinity of a 72-mer ssDNA sequence has been previously described without further investigations, this paper demonstrates the first computational prediction of the binding motif between this aptamer and OFL through in silico molecular docking studies. Besides, we suggest the application of the characterized recognition mechanism in a simple FRET (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer) pattern for the rapid aptasensing of the quinolone of interest. Accordingly, our approach harnesses the fluorescence quenching of the fluorescein-tagged aptamer (FAM-APT) induced by its partial hybridization to a tetramethyl rhodamine-labelled complementary ssDNA (TAMRA-cDNA). In such a structure, dye labels brought into close proximity act as a FRET pair. Upon ofloxacin addition, an affinity competition occurs to form a more stable FAM-APT/OFL complex, thus unquenching the FAM-APT signal. Interestingly, the recovered fluorescence intensity was found to correlate well with the antibiotic's concentrations in the range of 0.2-200 μM in HEPES buffer, with a linear response that ranged between 0.2 and 20 μM. The rapid apta-assay achieved limits of detection and quantification of 0.12 and 0.40 μM, respectively. The truncated aptamer has also shown an improved specificity toward OFL than other quinolones, compared to the original full-length aptamer described in previous works. Finally, the practical application of the developed apta-assay was successfully confirmed to detect OFL quinolone in spiked milk samples, with satisfactory recoveries ranging between 97.4% and 111.4%.

Abstract
We developed a fluorescent aptamer/graphene oxide (GO)-based biosensor to detect sulfamethazine (SMZ) residues in animal-derived foods. The SMZ-bound aptamers were identified and screened with an improved GO-SELEX technique using non-immobilizing ssDNA library. After seven rounds of selection, six SMZ aptamers were sequenced and analyzed for secondary structure, and their affinity and specificity were assessed by binding assays. The truncated aptamer (SMZ1S: 5'-CGTTAGACG-3') with a unique stem-loop structure showed the highest affinity (Kd = 24.6 nM) to SMZ and was used to develop a GO-based fluorescent aptasensor. The binding mechanism between SMZ1S and SMZ was further analyzed by molecular docking. Under optimal conditions, the fluorescent aptasensor showed low detection limits (0.35 ng/mL) and a wide dynamic linear range (from 2 to 100 ng/mL). The aptasensor was also validated against real samples spiked with SMZ, which showed a fluorescence recovery from 93.9 to 108.8% and a coefficient of variation of < 12.7%. Taken together, these results suggest that this novel aptasensor can be used to sensitively, selectively, and accurately detect SMZ residues in foods.

Abstract
Intrinsic fluorescence and versatile optical properties of Graphene Oxide (GO) in visible and near-infrared range introduce this nanomaterial as a promising candidate for numerous clinical applications for early-diagnose of diseases. Despite recent progresses in the impact of major features of GO on the photoluminescence properties of GO, their modifications have not yet systematically understood. Here, to study the modification effects on the fluorescence behavior, poly ethylene glycol (PEG) polymer, metal nanoparticles (Au and Fe3O4) and folic acid (FA) molecules were used to functionalize the GO surface. The fluorescence performances in different environments (water, DMEM cell media and phosphate buffer with two different pH values) were assessed through fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescent microscopy, while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to evaluate the modifications of chemical structures. The modification of GO with desired molecules improved the photoluminescence property. The synthesized platforms of GO-PEG, GO-PEG-Au, GO-PEG-Fe3O4 and GO-PEG-FA illustrated emissions in three main fluorescence regions (blue, green and red), suitable for tracing and bio-imaging purposes. Considering MTT results, these platforms potentially positioned themselves as non-invasive optical sensors for the diagnosis alternatives of traditional imaging agents.

Abstract
Diazinon is a typical phosphorothionate, which is widely used to prevent and control harmful organisms that endanger the agriculture productions. However, it is among the most toxic substances and can cause damage to the environment, food and human health even in very low concentrations. Hence, ultra-sensitive screening methods are urgently required for the detection of this extensively used pesticide. In this study, a rapid and sensitive fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method was developed for low concentration detection of diazinon in food. The aptamer-modified upconversion nanoparticles (Apt-UCNPs) were synthesized and conjugated with graphene oxide (GO) through π-π interaction. Due to the FRET between UCNPs and GO, the fluorescence was quenched. When diazinon was added, the aptamer preferentially bound with it, caused the separation of GO, and resulted in the enhancement of fluorescent signal. Under the optimal conditions, a wide linear detection range from 0.05 to 500 ng/mL was achieved, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.023 ng/mL. The proposed method was successfully applied to measure diazinon in real samples. Results showed that the proposed nanosensor offers an efficient, specific and simple approach for the detection of diazinon in food and has a high potential for food safety and quality control.

Abstract
Aminoglycosides (AGs) are broad-spectrum antibiotics used in both human infection and animal medicine. The overuse of AGs causes undesirable residues in food, leading to serious health problems due to food chain accumulation. In recent years, various methods have been developed to determine AGs in food. Among these methods, fluorescent (FL), colorimetric and chemiluminescent (CL) optical methods possess advantages such as their simple instrumentation, low cost, simple operation, feasibility of realizing visualization, and smartphone imaging. This mini-review summarizes optical assays for the detection of AGs in food developed in recent years. The detection principles for different categories are discussed. Then, the amplification techniques for the ultrasensitive detection of AGs are introduced. We also discuss multiplex methods for the simultaneous detection of AGs. Finally, the challenges and future prospects are discussed in the Conclusions and Perspectives section.

Abstract
The excessive use or abuse of pesticides and veterinary drugs leads to residues in food, which can threaten human health. Therefore, there is an extremely urgent need for multi-analyte analysis techniques for the detection of pesticide and veterinary drug residues, which can be applied as screening techniques for food safety monitoring and detection. Recent developments related to rapid multi-residue detection methods for pesticide and veterinary drug residues are reviewed herein. Methods based on different recognition elements or the inherent characteristics of pesticides and veterinary drugs are described in detail. The preparation and application of three broadly specific recognition elements-antibodies, aptamers, and molecular imprinted polymers-are summarized. Furthermore, enzymatic inhibition-based sensors, near-infrared spectroscopy, and SERS spectroscopy based on the inherent characteristics are also discussed. The aim of this review is to provide a useful reference for the further development of rapid multi-analyte analysis of pesticide and veterinary drug residues.

Abstract
Effective molecular recognition remains a major challenge in the development of robust receptors for biosensing applications. Over the last three decades, aptamers and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have emerged as the receptors of choice for use in biosensors as viable alternatives to natural antibodies, due to their superior stability, comparable binding performance, and lower costs. Although both of these technologies have been developed in parallel, they both suffer from their own unique problems. In this review, we will compare and contrast both types of receptor, with a focus on the area of environmental monitoring. Firstly, we will discuss the strategies and challenges involved in their development. We will also discuss the challenges that are involved in interfacing them with the biosensors. We will then compare and contrast their performance with a focus on their use in the detection of environmental contaminants, namely, antibiotics, pesticides, heavy metals, and pathogens detection. Finally, we will discuss the future direction of these two technologies.

Abstract
This study introduces a computational method to design a new aptamer with higher binding affinity to a special target in comparison with the experimentally available aptamers. The method is called step by step mutation based on MD simulation, which includes some steps. First, MD simulation is performed for the SELEX-introduced (native) aptamer in the presence of the target. Afterwards, conformational factor (Pi) is calculated for the simulated system, which obtains the affinity of the aptamer residues to the target. A nucleotide exchange is done for the residue with the least Pi parameter to the nucleotide with the highest Pi value that results in a mutant aptamer. MD simulation is performed for the target-mutant complex, and Pi values are calculated again. The nucleotide exchange is performed similarly, and the designing process is proceeded repeatedly that results in a mutant with the improved specificity to the target. The aptamer affinity to the target is also determined in each step through calculating the binding Gibbs energy (ΔGBind) as a reliable parameter. The introduced strategy is utilized efficiently to design a mutant aptamer with improved specificity toward sulfadimethoxine (SDM) antibiotic as a case study. The great difference in the ΔGBind values about 579.856 kJ mol-1 highlights that the M5 mutant possesses the improved specificity toward SDM in comparison with the native aptamer. Besides, the selectivity of the M5 aptamer toward SDM is examined among some conventional interfering compounds by using MD simulation that confirms the applicability of the designed aptamer for further experimental studies.

Abstract
The presence of antimicrobial residues in food-producing animals can lead to harmful effects on the consumer (e.g., allergies, antimicrobial resistance, toxicological effects) and cause issues in food transformation (i.e., cheese, yogurts production). Therefore, to control antimicrobial residues in food products of animal origin, screening methods are of utmost importance. Microbiological and immunological methods (e.g., ELISA, dipsticks) are conventional screening methods. Biosensors are an innovative solution for the development of more performant screening methods. Among the different kinds of biosensing elements (e.g., antibodies, aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), enzymes), aptamers for targeting antimicrobial residues are in continuous development since 2000. Therefore, this review has highlighted recent advances in the development of aptasensors, which present multiple advantages over immunosensors. Most of the aptasensors described in the literature for the detection of antimicrobial residues in animal-derived food products are either optical or electrochemical sensors. In this review, I have focused on optical aptasensors and showed how nanotechnologies (nanomaterials, micro/nanofluidics, and signal amplification techniques) largely contribute to the improvement of their performance (sensitivity, specificity, miniaturization, portability). Finally, I have explored different techniques to develop multiplex screening methods. Multiplex screening methods are necessary for the wide spectrum detection of antimicrobials authorized for animal treatment (i.e., having maximum residue limits).

Abstract
Mycotoxins posit serious threats to human and animal health, and numerous efforts have been performed to detect the multiple toxins by a single diagnostic approach. To best of our knowledge, for the first time, we synthesized an aptamer induced "turn on" fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor using dual-color gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), l-proline, and BSA synthesized AuNCs (Lp-AuNCs and BSA-AuNCs), with WS2 nanosheet for simultaneous recognition of aflatoxinB1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) by single excitation. Here, AFB1 aptamer stabilized blue-emitting AuNCs (AFB1-apt-Lp-AuNCs) (at 442 nm) and ZEN aptamer functionalized with red-colored AuNCs (ZEN-apt-BSA-AuNCs) (at 650 nm) were employed as an energy donor and WS2 nanosheet as a fluorescence quencher. With the addition of AFB1 and ZEN, the change in fluorescence intensity (F.I) was recorded at 442 and 650 nm and can be used for simultaneous recognition with a detection limit of 0.34 pg mL-1 (R2 = 0.9931) and 0.53 pg mL-1 (R2 = 0.9934), respectively. Most importantly, the semiquantitative determination of AFB1 and ZEN can also be realized through photovisualization. The current approach paves a new way to develop sensitive, selective, and convenient metal nanocluster-based fluorescent "switch-on" probes with potential applications in multipurpose biosensing.
