PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 280:121497. [PMID: 35749972 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2022.121497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
We successfully designed an aptasensor based on the red emission carbon dots (R-CDs) and effectively detected insulin (INS) via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). In the process, the aptamer (apt) labeled with R-CDs (R-CDs@apt) was used as fluorescence donor and graphene oxide (GO) was used as fluorescence receptor. The successful detection due to the aptamer sequence has a certain affinity for Go and INS, while the affinity for INS is stronger than that of GO. When INS is not added to the detection system, the aptamer is adsorbed onto the surface of GO, shortening the distance between R-CDs@apt and GO, resulting in FRET and the quenching of fluorescence of R-CDs@apt. When INS was added to the detection system, the aptamer selectively bound INS and separated from the adsorption of GO, FRET gradually disappeared and the fluorescence of R-CDs@apt/GO/INS system was restored. By comparing the changes of fluorescence intensity before and after adding INS, the detection of INS was implemented. The aptasensor has a good linear curve with the detection limit of as low as 1.1 nM when the concentration of INS reached 1.3-150 nM. This method has excellent selectivity and anti-interference. Therefore, it is a potential method for detecting substances in biological fluids.

Abstract
Graphene, a relatively new two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, possesses unique structure (e.g. lighter, harder, and more flexible than steel) and tunable physicochemical (e.g. electronical, optical) properties with potentially wide eco-friendly and cost-effective usage in biosensing. Furthermore, graphene-related nanomaterials (e.g. graphene oxide, doped graphene, carbon nanotubes) have inculcated tremendous interest among scientists and industrials for the development of innovative biosensing platforms, such as arrays, sequencers and other nanooptical/biophotonic sensing systems (e.g. FET, FRET, CRET, GERS). Indeed, combinatorial functionalization approaches are constantly improving the overall properties of graphene, such as its sensitivity, stability, specificity, selectivity, and response for potential bioanalytical applications. These include real-time multiplex detection, tracking, qualitative, and quantitative characterization of molecules (i.e. analytes [H2O2, urea, nitrite, ATP or NADH]; ions [Hg2+, Pb2+, or Cu2+]; biomolecules (DNA, iRNA, peptides, proteins, vitamins or glucose; disease biomarkers such as genetic alterations in BRCA1, p53) and cells (cancer cells, stem cells, bacteria, or viruses). However, there is still a paucity of comparative reports that critically evaluate the relative toxicity of carbon nanoallotropes in humans. This manuscript comprehensively reviews the biosensing applications of graphene and its derivatives (i.e. GO and rGO). Prospects and challenges are also introduced.

Abstract
With effective adsorption and quenching efficiency, graphene oxide (GO) can be utilized for sensing biomolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins. In these assays, the fluorophore-labeled nucleic acid (reporter) is usually adsorbed by GO first, followed by adding the target molecules to bind the reporter, thus restoring the fluorescence signal. However, the kinetics of fluorescence recovery is usually very slow because the target is probably adsorbed by GO and compromises the binding of the target and the reporter. Herein, we proposed a toehold-regulated strand displacement strategy to accelerate the kinetics of GO-based biosensing. In this strategy, the toehold of the duplex mediated a competitive assembly with the aim of eliminating the adsorption of the target by GO, facilitating the binding of the target and the reporter. While the duplex with the toehold of the target-blocker DNA or reporter-blocker DNA was formed, the rigid structure of the duplex weakened the adsorption of the target by GO and enhanced the recognition of the target by the reporter. This strategy achieved up to 2.6-fold enhancement in fluorescence signal restoration for nucleic acid detection, while there was 3.2-fold enhancement in fluorescence signal restoration for thrombin detection. It has also been demonstrated that this strategy can be used for the determination of DNA and thrombin in diluted serum with excellent specificity.

Abstract
The fundamental goal of prosthesis is to achieve optimal levels of performance and enhance the quality of life of amputees. Socket type prostheses have been widely employed despite their known drawbacks. More recently, the advent of osseointegrated prostheses have demonstrated potential to be a better alternative to socket prosthesis eliminating most of the drawbacks of the latter. However, both socket and osseointegrated limb prostheses are prone to superficial infections during use. Infection prone skin lesions from frictional rubbing of the socket against the soft tissue are a known problem of socket type prosthesis. Osseointegration, on the other hand, results in an open wound at the implant-stump interface. The integration of infection sensors in prostheses to detect and prevent infections is proposed to enhance quality of life of amputees. Pathogenic volatiles having been identified to be a potent stimulus, this paper reviews the current techniques in the field of infection sensing, specifically focusing on identifying portable and flexible sensors with potential to be integrated into prosthesis designs. Various sensor architectures including but not limited to sensors fabricated from conducting polymers, carbon polymer composites, metal oxide semiconductors, metal organic frameworks, hydrogels and synthetic oligomers are reviewed. The challenges and their potential integration pathways that can enhance the possibilities of integrating these sensors into prosthesis designs are analysed.

Abstract
The surface of poly(methyl methacrylate) nanospheres (PMMA-NSs) was molecularly imprinted with sulfadiazine by a surface imprinting method. Simultaneously, Mn(II)-doped ZnS quantum dots were incorporated into the imprinted PMMA-NSs. The morphology of the fluorescent nanoprobe was characterized by transmission electron microscopy which revealed good spheroidal core-shell structure and a homogeneous distribution of the QDs. Following binding of sulfadiazine, fluorescence (best measured at excitation/emission maxima of 335/592 nm) is increasingly quenched. The detection range is 5-40 μmol·L-1 of sulfadiazine, and the detection limit is 0.24 μmol·L-1. The fluorescence quenching mechanism is discussed, and a photo-induced electron transfer process is shown to account for quenching. The fluorescent probe was applied to the determination of sulfadiazine in spiked tap water with recoveries and RSDs of 96.6-100.2% and 2.7-3.9%, respectively. The detection of sulfadiazine in spiked lake water exhibited the recoveries and RSDs with 99.3-104.8% and 1.8-4.2%, respectively.

Abstract
We describe a highly sensitive fluorescence biosensor incorporating polydopamine nanotubes (PDNTs) based on the mechanism of exonuclease III (Exo III) assisted signal amplification for the determination of Hg2+ in aqueous solution. Fluorescent probes of FAM labeled ssDNA (FAM-ssDNA) adsorbed on the PDNTs act as an efficient quencher. In the presence of Hg2+, the FAM-ssDNA can bind to Hg2+ to form double stranded DNA (dsDNA) via the formation of T-Hg2+-T base pairs. Then, the dsDNA was removed from the surface of the PDNTs to restore the fluorescence. The release of the dsDNA was triggered by Exo III digestion. At the same time, the liberated Hg2+ mediates a new cycle of digestion. This assay is ultrasensitive for the selective recognition of Hg2+, and a detection limit as low as 10 pM was achieved. In addition, the fluorescent biosensing system also displays remarkable specificity to Hg2+ in the presence of other possible competing ions. This approach was applied to the determination of Hg2+ in real water samples with good recovery and high efficiency for practical analysis.

Abstract
Game theory—the scientific study of interactive, rational decision making—describes the interaction of two or more players from macroscopic organisms to microscopic cellular and subcellular levels. Life based on molecules is the highest and most complex expression of molecular interactions. However, using simple molecules to expand game theory for molecular decision-making remains challenging. Herein, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept molecular game-theoretical system (molecular prisoner’s dilemma) that relies on formation of the thymine–Hg2+–thymine hairpin structure specifically induced by Hg2+ and fluorescence quenching and molecular adsorption capacities of cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanosheets, resulting in fluorescence intensity and distribution change of polythymine oligonucleotide 33-repeat thymines (T33). The “bait” molecule, T33, interacted with two molecular players, CoOOH and Hg2+, in different states (absence = silence and presence = betrayal), regarded as strategies. We created conflicts (sharing or self-interest) of fluorescence distribution of T33, quantifiable in a 2 × 2 payoff matrix. In addition, the molecular game-theoretical-system based on T33 and CoOOH was used for sensing Hg2+ over the range of 20 to 600 nM with the detection limit of 7.94 nM (3σ) and for determination of Hg2+ in pond water. Inspired by the proof-of-concept for molecular game theory, various molecular decision-making systems could be developed, which would help promote molecular information processing and generating novel molecular intelligent decision systems for environmental monitoring and molecular diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Water pollution and habitat degradation are the cause of increasing water scarcity and decline in aquatic biodiversity. While the freshwater availability has been declining through past decades, water demand has continued to increase particularly in areas with arid and semi-arid climate. Monitoring of pollutants in wastewater effluents are critical to identifying water pollution area for treatment. Conventional detection methods are not effective in tracing multiple harmful components in wastewater due to their variability along different times and sources. Currently, the development of biosensing instruments attracted significant attention because of their high sensitivity, selectivity, reliability, simplicity, low-cost and real-time response. This paper provides a general overview on reported biosensors, which have been applied for the recognition of important organic chemicals, heavy metals, and microorganisms in dark waters. The significance and successes of nanotechnology in the field of biomolecular detection are also reviewed. The commercially available biosensors and their main challenges in wastewater monitoring are finally discussed.

Abstract
A molecular rotor thioflavin T (ThT) is usually used as a fluorescent ligand specific for G-quadruplexes. Here, we demonstrate that ThT can tightly bind non-G-quadruplex DNAs with several GA motifs and dimerize them in a parallel double-stranded mode, accompanied by over 100-fold enhancement in the fluorescence emission of ThT. The introduction of reverse Watson–Crick T-A base pairs into these dimeric parallel-stranded DNA systems remarkably favors the binding of ThT into the pocket between G•G and A•A base pairs, where ThT is encapsulated thereby restricting its two rotary aromatic rings in the excited state. A similar mechanism is also demonstrated in antiparallel DNA duplexes where several motifs of two consecutive G•G wobble base pairs are incorporated and serve as the active pockets for ThT binding. The insight into the interactions of ThT with non-G-quadruplex DNAs allows us to introduce a new concept for constructing DNA-based sensors and devices. As proof-of-concept experiments, we design a DNA triplex containing GA motifs in its Hoogsteen hydrogen-bonded two parallel strands as a pH-driven nanoswitch and two GA-containing parallel duplexes as novel metal sensing platforms where C–C and T–T mismatches are included. This work may find further applications in biological systems (e.g. disease gene detection) where parallel duplex or triplex stretches are involved.

Even though a variety of methods have been developed for Pb(2+), Hg(2+) and Ag(+) assays, most of them are usually laborious and time-consuming with poor sensitivity. Due to their unique advantages of excellent catalytic properties and high affinity for heavy metal ions, functional nucleic acids such as DNAzymes and aptamers show great promise in the development of novel sensors for heavy metal ion assays. In this review, we summarize the development of functional nucleic acid-based sensors for the detection of Pb(2+), Hg(2+) and Ag(+), and especially focus on two categories including the direct assay and the amplification-based assay. We highlight the emerging trends in the development of sensitive and selective sensors for heavy metal ion assays as well.

Abstract
As the newest two members of the carbon materials family, carbon dots (CDs) and graphene oxide (GO) possess many excellent optical properties resulting in a wide range of applications. In this work, we successfully synthesized CDs with a high-quantum-yield, and labeled them on oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN). The fluorescence of resultant CDs-labeled oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN-CDs) was quenched by GO via fluorescence resonance energy transfer. In the presence of Hg(2+), the fluorescence was recovered by the release of ODN-CDs from GO due to the formation of T-Hg(2+)-T duplex. In the light of this theory, we designed a simple, highly sensitive and selective fluorometric Hg(2+) sensor based on CDs-labeled oligodeoxyribonucleotide and GO without complicated, costly and time-consuming operations. Under the optimal conditions, a linear relationship was obtained between relative fluorescence intensity and the concentration of Hg(2+) in the range of 5-200 nM (R(2)=0.974). The present GO-based sensor system is highly selective toward Hg(2+) over a wide range of metal ions and has a detection limit of 2.6 nM. This method is reliable, and has been successfully applied for the detection of Hg(2+) in practical samples.

Abstract
In this study, a label-free graphene-based fluorescence probe used for detection of volatile organic liquids was fabricated by a simple, efficient and low-cost method. To fabricate the probe, a bio-based β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was firstly grafted on reduced graphene surfaces effectively and uniformly, as evidenced by various characterization techniques such as Ultraviolet/Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The subsequent inclusion of Rhodamine B (RhB) into the inner cavities of the β-CD grafted on the graphene surfaces was achieved easily by a solution mixing method, which yielded the graphene-based fluorescent switch-on probe. In addition, the gradual and controllable quenching of RhB by Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer from RhB to graphene during the process of stepwise accommodation of the RhB molecules into the β-CD-functionalized graphene was investigated in depth. A wide range of organic solvents was examined using the as-fabricated fluorescence probe, which revealed the highest sensitivity to tetrahydrofuran with the detection limit of about 1.7 μg/mL. Some insight into the mechanism of the different responsive behaviors of the fluorescence sensor to the examined targets was also described.

Abstract
We report an extremely sensitive and specific detection of mercuric ions (Hg²⁺) based on graphene assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (GALDI-MS). Combining the highly selective coordination interactions between thymine (T) and Hg²⁺, we present a simple, effective, and novel approach, based on π-π interactions of the T-Hg²⁺-T complex and G that can serve as a platform and matrix for GALDI-MS. The present sensor not only exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity (picomolar) to Hg²⁺ in aqueous solution, but also can elucidate the chemical structures of the metal complexes. The significant advantage in the current approach is that there is no need for a sophisticated instrument, and no sample pretreatment is required to detect the Hg²⁺ ions.

Abstract
In this paper, the development is described of an efficient pyrene excimer signaling-based fluorescent sensor for the measurement of mercury ions in aqueous solutions based on thymine-Hg(2+)-thymine (T-Hg(2+)-T) coordination chemistry and the inclusion interaction of γ-cyclodextrin. Introduction of cyclodextrin can provide cooperation for the molecular level space proximity of the two labeled pyrene molecules, moreover the hydrophobic cavity of γ-cyclodextrin can also offer protection for the pyrene dimer's emission from the quenching effect of Hg(2+) and enhance the fluorescence intensity of the pyrene excimer. To demonstrate the feasibility of the design, a bis-pyrene-labeled thymine-rich DNA strand was used as the detection probe. In the presence of Hg(2+), stem-close-shaped DNA strands can be formed with the cooperation of γ-cyclodextrin and ideally predominantly emit the excimer fluorescence. The selectivity of the sensor for Hg(2+) against other biologically and environmentally related metal ions is outstanding due to the high specificity of T-Hg(2+)-T formation. In addition, the pyrene excimer has a long fluorescence lifetime, which can tolerate intense background fluorescence interference from complex biological components, making it potentially applicable in the analysis of complex biological samples.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a sensitive and selective sensor technique for total mercury (Hg) detection in canned fish samples based on the fluorescence polarization (FP) method. The detection principle was that ssDNA containing thymine (T) bases was modified on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), which were used as enhancement probe. In the presence of Hg(2+), the ssDNA on MNPs can hybridize with the fluorophore labeled aptamer owing to the specific interaction between T bases and Hg(2+). The formation of thymine-Hg(2+)-thymine (T-Hg(2+)-T) complexes leads to the molar mass increase of fluorophore molecules, resulting in the enhancement of FP signal. The increase of FP was in a good linearity with the concentration of Hg(2+) in range of 2.0 nM-1.0 mM and the limit of detection was 0.49 nM (3.29 SB/m, according to the recent recommendation of IUPAC). Moreover, the proposed biosensor can be reused for 6 cycling times and was successfully applied in monitoring Hg(2+) in real samples.

Abstract
Herein, we present a sensitive, selective, and facile label-free DNA functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)-based chemiresistive biosensor for the detection of Hg(2+). SWNTs were functionalized with Hg(2+) binding 15-bases long polyT oligonucleotide through covalent attachment using a bilinker molecule. The polyT was further hybridized with polyA to form a polyT-polyA duplex. When exposed to Hg(2+) the polyT-polyA duplex was dehybridized combined with switching of polyT structure, leading to change in resistance/conductance of the SWNT chemiresistor device. The device provided a significant response within 100 to 1000 nM of Hg(2+) concentration with a 6.72 × 10(-3) nM(-1) sensitivity.
