Abstract
As traditional methods for detection of heavy metal pollution in water involve complex procedures and require expensive equipment, there is a great deal of interest in the development of rapid and simple methods for determining heavy metal ions in water. Here, a nanobiosensor based on molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) nanosheets and fluorophore (FAM) labeled oligonucleotides was proposed, and fluorescence spectroscopy was adopted for detection of Hg2+ or Ag+ ions in aqueous solution. The principle underlying detection by the sensor involves the formation of T-Hg2+-T or C-Ag+-C mismatches by single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) rich in thymine (T) or cytosine (C), thereby forming stable double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) structures. By exploiting the different adsorption capacity of MoS2 nanosheets for ssDNA and dsDNA, when oligonucleotides were in a single chain state, MoS2 nanosheets possessed a strong adsorption capacity for ssDNA, resulting in fluorescence quenching of FAM. After the addition of Hg2+ or Ag+, ssDNA formed double chains structure, the fluorescence recovered due to the weak adsorption capacity of MoS2 nanosheets for dsDNA. Along this line, an "off-on" mode fluorescence nanobiosensor was designed to alternatively detect these two heavy metal ions in water. The sensor showed high sensitivity and excellent selectivity for both Hg2+ and Ag+ ions, with minimum detection limits of 6.8 nM and 8.9 nM, respectively.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 438:129530. [PMID: 35816803 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Due to improper storage, the presence of patulin in fruits poses a threat to food safety. Herein, a one-step dual amplification strategy-based electrochemical aptasensor was proposed for patulin detection. Silver-palladium nanoparticles (AgPdNPs) with a hollow and branched structure were used as a supporting material for thionine to provide numerous attachment sites. AuNFs/g-C3N4 was employed as an electrode modification material, which has been demonstrated to facilitate electron transport and improve signal label loading capacity. Ag+ ions were released in the presence of patulin, activating the Ag+-DNAzyme on the electrode surface. The formed Ag+-DNAzymes further cyclically cleaved the substrate DNA, and the released sequences were used as a new trigger to mediate the secondary recirculation. This one-step dual amplification strategy enabled double target recycling without additional procedures. The signal cascade amplification through dual target recycling, was thus available for trace detection of patulin. Under the optimal conditions, the electrochemical aptasensor achieved a satisfactory linear range from 5.0 × 10-6 μg L-1 to 50 μg L-1 with a detection limit of 0.92 fg·mL-1 for the determination of patulin. In addition, the aptasensor exhibited favorable selectivity, reproducibility, repeatability and long-term stability, and thus can be employed for patulin detection in apple juice samples, providing excellent choice for the detection of trace patulin.

Abstract
Guanine (G)-quadruplexes (G4s) are unique nucleic acid structures that are formed by stacked G-tetrads in G-rich DNA or RNA sequences. G4s have been reported to play significant roles in various cellular events in both macro- and micro-organisms. The identification and characterization of G4s can help to understand their different biological roles and potential applications in diagnosis and therapy. In addition to biophysical and biochemical methods to interrogate G4 formation, G4 fluorescent turn-on ligands can be used to target and visualize G4 formation both in vitro and in cells. Here, we review several representative classes of G4 fluorescent turn-on ligands in terms of their interaction mechanism and application perspectives. Interestingly, G4 structures are commonly identified in DNA and RNA aptamers against targets that include proteins and small molecules, which can be utilized as G4 tools for diverse applications. We therefore also summarize the recent development of G4-containing aptamers and highlight their applications in biosensing, bioimaging, and therapy. Moreover, we discuss the current challenges and future perspectives of G4 fluorescent turn-on ligands and G4-containing aptamers.

Abstract
G-quadruplexes are made up of guanine-rich RNA and DNA sequences capable of forming noncanonical nucleic acid secondary structures. The base-specific sterical configuration of G-quadruplexes allows the stacked G-tetrads to bind certain planar molecules like hemin (iron (III)-protoporphyrin IX) to regulate enzymatic-like functions such as peroxidase-mimicking activity, hence the use of the term DNAzyme/RNAzyme. This ability has been widely touted as a suitable substitute to conventional enzymatic reporter systems in diagnostics. This review will provide a brief overview of the G-quadruplex architecture as well as the many forms of reporter systems ranging from absorbance to luminescence readouts in various platforms. Furthermore, some challenges and improvements that have been introduced to improve the application of G-quadruplex in diagnostics will be highlighted. As the field of diagnostics has evolved to apply different detection systems, the need for alternative reporter systems such as G-quadruplexes is also paramount.

Abstract
Silver, a very common heavy metal, has been employed in electronics, medicine, jewelry, and catalysis due to its excellent chemical and physical characteristics. Silver-containing wastes can cause environmental pollution, so it is vital to monitor the Ag(I) concentration. Here, a label-free biosensor was developed for the Ag(I) detection, which used single-walled carbon nanotubes/field effect transistor (SWNTs/FET) to functionalize with a specific DNAzyme, containing an Agzyme and a complementary strand DNA (CS-DNA) embedded an RNA-base. The CS-DNA was covalently immobilized on the SWNTs’ surface through peptide bonds, and then combined with the Agzyme. When Ag(I) was bound with the Agzyme, the CS-DNA can be cleaved at the RNA site efficiently. The cleaved DNAzyme induced a remarkable change in the electrical conductivity of SWNTs. The performances of DNAzyme/SWNTs/FET were investigated using different spectroscopy and electrochemical methods. Under the optimized parameters, DNAzyme/SWNTs/FET presented a high sensitivity and selectivity towards Ag(I), in which the linear response range is 10 pM to 106 pM and the limit of detection is 5 pM(S/N = 3). Additionally, the prepared biosensor was applied to measure the Ag(I) concentration in the water sample with good results.

Abstract
G-quadruplex DNA ligands attract much attention because of their potential use in biology. Indeed they may interfere with G-quadrulex nucleic acid function in cells. Most of the G-quadruplex ligands so far reported (including also metal complexes) are large planar aromatic compounds that interact by π-π stacking with an external G-quartet of quadruplex. Porphyrins are well-known G-quadruplex ligands. We report herein a new porphyrin scaffold (meso-tetrakis(4-(N-methyl-pyridinium-2-yl)phenyl)porphyrin) able to strongly and selectively bind to G-quadruplex DNA. We show that even when this porphyrin is metallated with cobalt(III), i.e. it carries two water molecules as axial ligands on the cobalt ion, on each face of the porphyrin, the interaction occurs by a π-stacking-like mode with an external G-quartet of quadruplex DNA.

Abstract
The reactions of neutral or cationic IrIII and RhIII derivatives of phenyl purine nucleobases with unsymmetrical alkynes produce new metallacycles in a predictable manner, which allows for the incorporation of either photoactive (anthracene or pyrene) or electroactive (ferrocene) labels in the nucleotide or nucleoside moiety. The reported methodology (metalation of the purine derivative and subsequent marker insertion) could be used for the postfunctionalization and unambiguous labeling of oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Due to the high toxicity of silver(I) ions, a method for the rapid, sensitive, and selective detection for silver(I) ions in water, pharmaceutical products, and food is of great importance. Herein, a novel single-labeled fluorescent oligonucleotide (OND) probe based on cytosine-Ag(I)-cytosine coordination and the inherent fluorescence quenching ability of the G-quadruplex is designed to detect silver(I) ions. The formation of a hairpin structure in the OND-Ag(I) complex brings the hexachloro fluorescein (HEX) labeled at the 5'-end of the OND probe close to the G-quadruplex located at the 3'-end of the OND probe, leading to a fluorescence quenching due to photoinduced electron transfer between HEX and the G-quadruplex. Through this method, silver(I) ions can be detected quantitatively, the linear response range is from 1 to 100 nmol/L with a detection limit of 50 pmol/L, and no obvious interference occurs with other metal ions with a 10-fold concentration. This assay is simple, sensitive, and selective, and it can be used to detect silver(I) ions in actual water, drug, and food samples.

Abstract
The real-time conformational changes of cytosine (C)-rich ssDNA oligonucleotides upon binding with silver ions (Ag(+)) were studied using dual polarization interferometry (DPI). Upon the addition of Ag(+), Ag(+) selectively bound to cytosine-cytosine mismatches and formed C-Ag(+)-C complexes, inducing change of the structure of the C-rich ssDNA from random coil conformation to duplex conformation, whereas the control ssDNA without cytosine-cytosine mismatches had no such signal, which was consistent with circular dichroism (CD) characterization. The conformational change of DNA was reflected on the changes of the mass, thickness, and density values resolved by DPI. The calibration curves showed that as the concentration of Ag(+) increased from 10 nM to 8 μM, the thickness and mass values increased linearly while the density values decreased linearly. Other metal ions such as K(+), Ca(2+), Na(+), Mg(2+), Zn(2+), Mn(2+), Ni(2+), and Pb(2+) did not interfere with the interaction between Ag(+) and C-rich ssDNA, indicating that this method had a good selectivity. The practical application of this biosensor was also investigated in real samples such as drinking water. Besides, cysteine could specifically capture Ag(+) from C-Ag(+)-C complexes and transformed the structure of the C-rich DNA back from rigid double-stranded conformation to random coil conformation, which allowed cysteine to be detected selectively as well. It is expected that this biosensing strategy may be utilized to study the interaction of DNA with other molecules.

Abstract
This paper describes a novel approach utilizing nano-graphite-DNA hybrid and DNase I for the amplified detection of silver(I) ion in aqueous solutions for the first time. Nano-graphite can effectively quench the fluorescence of dye-labeled cytosine-rich single-stranded DNA due to its strong π-π stacking interactions; however, in the presence of Ag(+), C-Ag(+)-C coordination induces the probe to fold into a hairpin structure, which does not adsorb on the surface of nano-graphite and thus retains the dye fluorescence. Meanwhile, the hairpin structure can be cleaved by DNase I, and in such case Ag(+) is delivered from the complex. The released Ag(+) then binds other dye-labeled single-stranded DNA on the nano-graphite surface, and touches off another target recycling, resulting in the successive release of dye-labeled single-stranded DNA from the nano-graphite, which leads to significant amplification of the signal. The present magnification sensing system exhibits high sensitivity toward Ag(+) with a limit of detection of 0.3nM (S/N=3), which is much lower than the standard for Ag(+) in drinking water recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The selectivity of the sensor for Ag(+) against other biologically and environmentally related metal ions is outstanding due to the high specificity of C-Ag(+)-C formation. Moreover, the sensing system is used for the determination of Ag(+) in river water samples with satisfying results. The proposed assay is simple, cost-effective, and might open the door for the development of new assays for other metal ions or biomolecules.

Abstract
The structure of the double helix of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA, also called duplex-DNA) was elucidated sixty years ago by Watson, Crick, Wilkins and Franklin. Since then, DNA has continued to hold a fascination for researchers in diverse fields including medicine and nanobiotechnology. Nature has indeed excelled in diversifying the use of DNA: beyond its canonical role of repository of genetic information, DNA could also act as a nanofactory able to perform some complex catalytic tasks in an enzyme-mimicking manner. The catalytic capability of DNA was termed DNAzyme; in this context, a peculiar DNA structure, a quadruple helix also named quadruplex-DNA, has recently garnered considerable interest since its autonomous catalytic proficiency relies on its higher-order folding that makes it suitable to interact efficiently with hemin, a natural cofactor of many enzymes. Quadruplexes have thus been widely studied for their hemoprotein-like properties, chiefly peroxidase-like activity, i.e., their ability to perform hemin-mediated catalytic oxidation reactions. Recent literature is replete with applications of quadruplex-based peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme systems. Herein, we take a further leap along the road to biochemical applications, assessing the actual efficiency of catalytic quadruplexes for the detection of picomolar levels of surface-bound analytes in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA)-type assay. To this end, we exploit an innovative strategy based on the functionalization of DNA by a multitasking platform named RAFT (for regioselectivity addressable functionalized template), whose versatility enables the grafting of DNA whatever its nature (duplex-DNA, quadruplex-DNA, etc.). We demonstrate that the resulting biotinylated RAFT/quadruplex systems indeed acquire catalytic properties that allow for efficient luminescent detection of picomoles of surface-bound streptavidin. We also highlight some of the pitfalls that have to be faced during optimization, notably demonstrating that highly optimized experimental conditions can make DNA pre-catalysts catalytically competent whatever their secondary structures.

Abstract
We report herein the synthesis and application of a novel G-quadruplex-selective luminescent iridium(III) complex [Ir(ppy)2(bcp)](+) (where ppy = 2-phenylpyridine and bcp = 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) for the sensitive detection of apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease activity. Using endonuclease IV (Endo IV) as a model enzyme, a duplex DNA substrate containing a G-quadruplex-forming sequence is cleaved by Endo IV at the abasic site. This releases the G-quadruplex sequence, which folds into a G-quadruplex and is recognised by the G-quadruplex-selective iridium(III) complex with an enhanced luminescence response. The assay achieved high sensitivity and selectivity for Endo IV over other tested enzymes.

Abstract
We report herein the G-quadruplex-selective property of a luminescent cyclometallated iridium(III) complex for the detection of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) in aqueous solution. The ATP-binding aptamer was employed as the ATP recognition unit, while the iridium(III) complex was used to monitor the formation of the G-quadruplex structure induced by ATP. The sensitivity and fold enhancement of the assay were higher than those of the previously reported assay using the organic dye crystal violet as a fluorescent probe. This label-free luminescent switch-on assay exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity towards ATP with a limit of detection of 2.5 µM.

Abstract
Breakthrough advances in chemistry and biology over the last two decades have vastly expanded the repertoire of nucleic acid structure and function with potential application in multiple areas of science and technology, including sensing and analytical applications. DNA oligonucleotides represent popular tools for the development of sensing platforms due to their low cost, rich structural polymorphism, and their ability to bind to cognate ligands with sensitivity and specificity rivaling those for protein enzymes and antibodies. In this review, we give an overview of the "label-free" approach that has been a particular focus of our group and others for the construction of luminescent DNA-based sensing platforms. The label-free strategy aims to overcome some of the drawbacks associated with the use of covalently-labeled oligonucleotides prevalent in electrochemical and optical platforms. Label-free DNA-based probes harness the selective interaction between luminescent dyes and functional oligonucleotides that exhibit a "structure-switching" response upon binding to analytes. Based on the numerous examples of label-free luminescent DNA-based probes reported recently, we envisage that this field would continue to thrive and mature in the years to come.

Abstract
A label-free G-quadruplex-based luminescent switch-on assay has been developed for the selective detection of micromolar histidine in aqueous solution. In this study, an iridium(III) complex was employed as a G-quadruplex-specific luminescent probe while a guanine-rich oligonucleotide (Pu27, 5'-TG4AG3TG4AG3TG4A2G2-3')/cupric ion (Cu(2+)) ensemble was employed as a recognition unit for histidine. The initial luminescence of the iridium(III) complex in the presence of G-quadruplex DNA is effectively quenched by Cu(2+) ions due to the Cu(2+)-mediated unfolding of the G-quadruplex motif. The addition of histidine sequesters Cu(2+) ions from the ensemble, thereby restoring the luminescence of the system. The assay could detect down to 1 μM of histidine in aqueous media, and also exhibited good selectivity for histidine over other amino acids with the use of the cysteine, masking agent N-ethylmaleimide. Furthermore, the application of the assay for the detection of histidine in diluted urine samples was demonstrated.

Abstract
Newly prepared gold(I) acetylide-based luminescent cation sensors 1c and 1d, which bear a novel three-armed flexible conformation, together with control molecule 2c, were synthesized in four steps. 1c and 1d exhibit the π → π* absorption of the acetylide ligands in fluid solutions and produce the (3)(ππ*) emission of the acetylide ligands in the solid state and degassed THF solution. The (3)(ππ*) emission of 1c in DMSO can be turned on upon addition of Ag(+). The binding ratio between 1c and Ag(+) as well as the binding constant log K were determined as 1:1 and 4.35 ± 0.12 respectively by UV-vis titration experiments. The formation of [1c·Ag](+) adduct, which leads to the appearance of new up-field peaks, was confirmed by (1)H NMR spectroscopic titrations. The control (1)H NMR titration experiments for the acetylide-free analogue 1a and single-armed analogue 2c indicate the acetylide groups and tripodal structures are responsible for the binding of Ag(+). The control experiment for tripodal gold(I) acetylide analogue 1d suggests the change of PPh3 with P(2-Py)Ph2 induces similar binding affinity toward Ag(+) but less selectivity toward Ag(+). Free 1c also exhibits the anion binding affinity toward F(-), but the Ag(+) adduct [1c·Ag](+) shows less affinity toward F(-).

Abstract
A parallel G-quadruplex-selective iridium(III) complex has been synthesized and employed as a luminescent probe in a label-free G-quadruplex-based detection assay for Ca(2+) ions in aqueous solution. In this assay, a guanine-rich oligonucleotide (G4, 5'-G4T4G4-3') initially exists in an antiparallel G-quadruplex conformation, resulting in a low luminescence signal. Upon incubation with Ca(2+) ions, the antiparallel G-quadruplex is induced into a parallel G-quadruplex conformation, which greatly enhances the luminescence emission of the iridium(III) probe. This method was highly sensitive for Ca(2+) ions with a limit of detection in the nanomolar range, and was selective for Ca(2+) over other metal ions.

Abstract
A reaction mechanism that describes the substitution of two imino protons in a thymine:thymine (T:T) mismatched DNA base pair with a Hg(II) ion, which results in the formation of a (T)N3-Hg(II)-N3(T) metal-mediated base pair was proposed and calculated. The mechanism assumes two key steps: The formation of the first Hg(II)-N3(T) bond is triggered by deprotonation of the imino N3 atom in thymine with a hydroxo ligand on the Hg(II) ion. The formation of the second Hg(II)-N3(T) bond proceeds through water-assisted tautomerization of the remaining, metal-nonbonded thymine base or through thymine deprotonation with a hydroxo ligand of the Hg(II) ion already coordinated to the thymine base. The thermodynamic parameters ΔGR =-9.5 kcal mol(-1), ΔHR =-4.7 kcal mol(-1), and ΔSR =16.0 cal mol(-1) K(-1) calculated with the ONIOM (B3LYP:BP86) method for the reaction agreed well with the isothermal titration calorimetric (ITC) measurements by Torigoe et al. [H. Torigoe, A. Ono, T. Kozasa, Chem. Eur. J. 2010, 16, 13218-13225]. The peculiar positive reaction entropy measured previously was due to both dehydration of the metal and the change in chemical bonding. The mercury reactant in the theoretical model contained one hydroxo ligand in accord with the experimental pKa value of 3.6 known for an aqua ligand of a Hg(II) center. The chemical modification of T:T mismatched to the T-Hg(II)-T metal-mediated base pair was modeled for the middle base pair within a trinucleotide B-DNA duplex, which ensured complete dehydration of the Hg(II) ion during the reaction.

Abstract
We report herein a luminescent switch-on label-free G-quadruplex-based assay for the rapid and sensitive detection of polymerase proofreading activity using a novel iridium(III) complex as a G-quadruplex-selective probe. The interaction of the iridium(III) complex with the G-quadruplex motif facilitates the highly sensitive switch-on detection of polymerase proofreading activity. Using T4 DNA polymerase (T4 pol) as a model enzyme, the assay achieved high sensitivity and selectivity for T4 pol over other tested enzymes.

Abstract
Enzymes are critically involved in maintaining normal cellular physiology through the catalysis of highly specific and tightly regulated chemical reactions. The inhibition or undesired activation of particular enzymatic functions has been associated with the pathogenesis of a number of diseases. Consequently, the aberrant activity of certain enzymes can be regarded as biomarkers for the diagnosis or monitoring of particular diseases. With rapid technological advances in the field of DNA nanotechnology, oligonucleotides have recently emerged as attractive recognition units for monitoring the activity of enzymes compared with organic small molecules or protein antibodies. In this review article, we present an overview of advantages and versatility of the 'label-free' approach for the fabrication of DNA-based sensing platforms using colorimetric and luminescent molecules as signal transducing units and highlight recent examples of label-free strategies that have been employed for monitoring enzyme activity.
