Abstract
Diabetic wound is one of the chronic wounds that is difficult to heal, and effective treatment of it still confronts a great challenge. Monitoring the variation of diabetic wound microenvironment (such as hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )) can understand the wound state and guide the wound management. Herein, a multifunctional hydrogel with the abilities of monitoring the H2 O2 concentration, alleviating oxidative stress and promoting wound healing is developed, which is prepared by encapsulating manganese-containing bioactive glass (MnBG) and CePO4 :Tb in biocompatible gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel (CPT-MnBG-Gel). On the one hand, the H2 O2 -dependent fluorescence quenching effect of the CePO4 :Tb contributes to visible monitoring of the H2 O2 concentration of wounds via smartphone imaging, and the CPT-MnBG-Gel hydrogel can effectively monitor the H2 O2 level of 10.35-200 µmol L-1 . On the other hand, MnBG can alleviate oxidative stress and promote the proliferation, migration and differentiation of fibroblasts and endothelial cells in vitro owing to the bioactive Mn and Si ions, and in vivo evaluation also demonstrates that the CPT-MnBG-Gel hydrogels can effectively accelerate wound healing. Hence, such multifunctional hydrogel is promising for diabetic wound management and accelerating wound healing.

Abstract
A Ti3C2 membrane was prepared by doping UIO-66-NH2 with Ti3C2 through hydrogen bonds. When the doping mass ratio of Ti3C2 and UIO-66-NH2 was 6:1, the electrochemical performance was optimal. Characterization was done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) which exhibited hierarchical cave-like physiognomy, large specific area, outstanding electronic conductive network, and excellent film-forming property. Moreover, the Ti3C2 film was analyzed via atomic force microscopy (AFM), which displayed good mechanical properties and rough surface morphology. The fabricated Ti3C2 membrane/GCE sensor was applied to the detection of dopamine (working potential of + 0.264 V vs. Ag/AgCl) with LOD of 0.81 fM and a sensitivity of 14.72 µA fM−1 cm−2. It was demonstrated that the Ti3C2 membrane can be used to construct nonenzymatic sensors with excellent performance. The fabricated sensor has high selectivity and stability and has good practicability with recoveries of 101.2–103.5% and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.2–2.4%.

Abstract
An electrochemical method combining chemometrics was developed for simultaneous quantification of multiple neurotransmitters including Dopamine (DA), Epinephrine (EP), Norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) in human blood serum. A reduced graphene oxide modified glassy carbon electrode (RGO/GCE) was prepared via electrodeposition method. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurement of the four neurotransmitters showed that the voltammetric signals of the four targets overlapped significantly. To facilitate the simultaneous determination of the neurotransmitters, a chemometric tool of Tchebichef curve moment (TcM) method was proposed. The TcMs calculated from the voltammograms were used to establish the quantitative models by stepwise regression. The intra-day and inter-day precisions of the proposed method were less than 3.5% and 8.1%, respectively, and the recoveries were from 87.4% to 124%. The limit of detection (LOD) for DA, EP, NE and 5-HT were 74 nM, 104 nM, 84 nM and 97 nM, respectively. The above results indicated that the proposed approach is simple and reliable for the simultaneous determination of multiple neurotransmitters in human serum.

Abstract
We synthesized bovine serum albumin (BSA)-stabilized gold nanoclusters (BSA-GNCs) and confirmed their ultra-small size using HRTEM (High-resolution Transmission Electron Microscope) and DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering). The fluorescence intensity of BSA-GNCs is "turned off" in the presence of Cu(II) metal ions. The resulting Cu(II)-mediated BSA-GNCs were utilized to detect metformin, a drug used to control diabetes. Metformin binds to and displaces Cu(II) ions from the BSA on the surface of the nanoclusters, which turns on the fluorescence of the nanoclusters. The interactions between the protein-stabilized nanoclusters were investigated in the absence and presence of Cu(II) using circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Cu(II)-quenched BSA-GNCs had an extremely high sensitivity to detect metformin, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.068 μM and a dynamic range of limit of quantification (LOQ = 10/3 LOD) of 0.22 to 11 μM. The ability of this novel "turn-on" nanosensor to detect metformin in human serum and urine samples was confirmed: the percentage recovery in fluorescence for spiked analyte ranged from 96.00-98.50% and 92.60-96.62% in human serum and urine samples, respectively. Thus, BSA-GNCs provide a valid, sensitive, specific fluorometric methodology for the detection of metformin in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nowadays, several neurological disorders and neurocrine tumours are associated with dopamine (DA) concentrations in various biological fluids. Highly accurate and ultrasensitive detection of DA levels in different biological samples in real-time can change and improve the quality of a patient's life in addition to reducing the treatment cost. Therefore, the design and development of diagnostic tool for in vivo and in vitro monitoring of DA is of considerable clinical and pharmacological importance. In recent decades, a large number of techniques have been established for DA detection, including chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, spectroscopic approaches, and electrochemical (EC) methods. These methods are effective, but most of them still have some drawbacks such as consuming time, effort, and money. Added to that, sometimes they need complex procedures to obtain good sensitivity and suffer from low selectivity due to interference from other biological species such as uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA). Advanced materials can offer remarkable opportunities to overcome drawbacks in conventional DA sensors. This review aims to explain challenges related to DA detection using different techniques, and to summarize and highlight recent advancements in materials used and approaches applied for several sensor surface modification for the monitoring of DA. Also, it focuses on the analytical features of the EC and optical-based sensing techniques available.

Abstract
Catecholamine neurotransmitters, specifically, dopamine (DA), epinephrine (EP), and norepinephrine (NE), are known as substantial indicators of various neurological diseases. Developing rapid detection methods capable of simultaneously screening their concentrations is highly desired for early clinical diagnosis of such diseases. To this aim, we have designed an optical sensor array using three fluorescent dyes with distinct emission bands and have monitored variations in their emission profiles upon the addition of DA, EP, and NE in the presence of gold ions. Because of the different reducing power of catecholamines, differently sized gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with different levels of aggregation were generated, resulting in different amounts of spectral overlap between the absorption band of the in situ generated plasmonic GNPs and the emission bands of the fluorescent dyes. These energy-transfer-based fingerprint profiles were used to discriminate the neurotransmitters by applying pattern recognition methods including linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) and to determine their concentration using multiple linear regression (MLR). Our proposed array also showed a good performance in the discrimination of DA, EP, and NE in complex biological media such as human urine.

Abstract
This invited feature article focuses on the chemical reactions involving the surface ions of colloidal quantum dots (Qdots). Emphasis is placed on ion-exchange, redox, and complexation reactions. The pursuit of reactions involving primarily the cations on the surface results in changes in the optical properties of the Qdots and also may confer new properties owing to the newly formed surface species. For example, the cation-exchange reaction, leading to systematic removal of the cations present on the as-synthesized Qdots, enhances the photoluminescence quantum yield. On the other hand, redox reactions, involving the dopant cations in the Qdots, could not only modulate the photoluminescence quantum yield but also give rise to new emission not present in the as-synthesized Qdots. Importantly, the cations present on the surface could be made to react with external organic ligands to form inorganic complexes, thus providing a new species defined as the quantum dot complex (QDC). In the QDC, the properties of Qdots and the inorganic complex are not only present but also enhanced. Furthermore, by varying reaction conditions such as the concentrations of the species and using a mixture of ligands, the properties could be further tuned and multifunctionalization of the Qdot could be achieved. Thus, chemical, magnetic, and optical properties could be simultaneously conferred on the same Qdot. This has helped in externally controlled bioimaging, white light generation involving individual quantum dots, and highly sensitive molecular sensing. Understanding the species (i.e., the newly formed inorganic complex) on the surface of the Qdot and its chemical reactivity provide unique options for futuristic technological applications involving a combination of an inorganic complex and a Qdot.

Abstract
A fluorimetric method is described for the determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. It is based on the use of polyethyleneimine-coated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs), which display an intense blue fluorescence peaking at 450 nm (under 375 nm excitation). ALP catalyzes the dephosphorylation of the thiophosphate amifostine to generate a thiol that binds to the AgNCs and causes its fluorescence to be quenched. Under the optimal experimental conditions, fluorescence linearly drops in the 0.08-2.0 U L-1 ALP activity range, and the limit of detection is 0.02 U L-1. The method was successfully applied to the determination of ALP activity in spiked human serum samples. Graphical abstract Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) catalyzes the degradation of amifostine with a generation a thiol product. The thiol quenches the fluorescence of silver nanoclusters, and a method for the detection of ALP down to 0.02 U L-1 was developed.

Abstract
Fluorescence sensors for biologically active molecules are catching attention due to their good performance and simplicity. Herein, we report a fluorescence sensor for the selective and sensitive detection of dopamine (DA) in aqueous samples. MoS2 nanohybrid material composed of MoS2 quantum dots dispersed over MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2 QDNS) in alkaline medium was employed as the fluorescent probe. In the presence of DA, the photoluminescence intensity of MoS2 QDNS was quenched linearly with increasing concentration of the former. The quenching mechanism was found to operate via Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), and the inner filter effect (IFE). The QDNS sensor demonstrates high selectivity towards DA, especially in the presence of ascorbic acid and uric acid, which are the most potential interference for DA in biological systems. The sensitivity of the system was as low as 0.9 nM and demonstrated two linear ranges from 2.5 nM to 5.0 μM and from 5.0 μM to 10.4 μM. The sensor demonstrated a remarkable ability in the analysis of real blood samples and showed excellent potential for visual detection.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) MnO2 nanosheets were synthesized by a template-free and one-step route, and the dye [Ru(dpp)3]Cl2 was linked onto the MnO2 nanosheet surface via electrostatic interaction. The formed MnO2–[Ru(dpp)3]Cl2 hybrid was used for a dual optical detection for H2O2, an important reactive oxygen species (ROS). Upon addition of H2O2, the reaction of MnO2 with H2O2 results in the dissolution of MnO2 nanosheets and simultaneous generation of O2. The fading of the solution and simultaneous fluorescence change of [Ru(dpp)3]Cl2, sensitive to O2, enables colorimetric and fluorimetric dual-mode detection of H2O2. The dual-output assay in a single probe provides a good sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.18 μM H2O2. The dual-signal strategy can efficiently overcome the shortcoming of the single detection mode, and improve the detection accuracy by an additional correction of output signals from each other. Moreover, the successful determination of H2O2 in the serum samples demonstrates the potential applicability of the MnO2–[Ru(dpp)3]Cl2 based probe in biosensing and bioanalysis. The MnO2 nanosheets with anchored [Ru(dpp)3]Cl2 were prepared for colorimetric and fluorimetric dual-mode detection of H2O2.![]()

Abstract
Dopamine is a metabolite that plays a key role in the human body and in biomedical and diagnostic applications. Thus, the concentration of this analyte has been considered in various diseases in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). In the present study, for the first time, a photoprotein inhibition assay strategy was developed by utilizing aequorin for the direct detection of dopamine as a receptor and reporter simultaneously. The results showed that bioluminescence emission of aequorin was effectively quenched by increasing concentration of dopamine at the range of 1 nM to 100 μM with a detection limit of 53 nM. The viability of this method for the monitoring of dopamine in spiked biological fluids was also established and it was successfully applied for the direct determination of dopamine in a blood serum and urine without preliminary treatment with satisfactory quantitative recovery 90-95% and 82-93%, respectively. The structural investigation using circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy, and docking simulation indicated that, changes in the microenvironment of aromatic residues were significant, while minor conformational alterations of the protein were observed. It seems dopamine inhibits bioluminescence activity with specific binding to the residues involved in the light production.

Abstract
Quantum dots are important fluorescent semiconductor nano-crystals with distinguished electrical and optical properties and have gained great interest in many fields. The chemical and physical synthetic methods are usually not favorable for biological application due to high energy-consumption procedure and residual toxic chemicals. The development of novel "green" routes to prepare bio-compatible cadmium sulfide quantum dots constitutes a promising substituted approach. We used the white rot fungus Trametes versicolor for the biosynthesis of cadmium sulfide quantum dots taking account of the adsorption property of this fungus. Multiple physical characterizations involving scanning electron microscope (SEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo-gravimetric (TG), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed surface, optical and thermal characteristics, crystalline nature, size and shape distributions of the nanoparticles. This study provided a suitable and efficient approach to synthesize stable biocompatible cadmium sulfide quantum dots using the fungus Trametes versicolor with great potentials in the biological and biomedical researches.

Abstract
The interaction of the neurotransmitter dopamine is reported with a single particle white light-emitting (WLE) quantum dot complex (QDC). The QDC is composed of yellow emitting ZnO quantum dots (Qdots) and blue emitting Zn(MSA)2 complex (MSA = N-methylsalicylaldimine) synthesized on their surfaces. Sensing is achieved by the combined changes in the visual luminescence color from white to blue, chromaticity color coordinates from (0.31, 0.33) to (0.24, 0.23) and the ratio of the exponents (αon /αoff ) of on/off probability distribution (from 0.24 to 3.21) in the blinking statistics of WLE QDC. The selectivity of dopamine toward ZnO Qdots, present in WLE QDC, helps detect ≈13 dopamine molecules per Qdot. Additionally, the WLE QDC exhibits high sensitivity, with a limit of detection of 3.3 × 10-9 m (in the linear range of 1-100 × 10-9 m) and high selectivity in presence of interfering biological species. Moreover, the single particle on-off bilking statistics based detection strategy may provide an innovative way for ultrasensitive detection of analytes.

Polydopamine nanodots are viable probes for fluorometric determination of the activity of alkaline phosphatase via the in situ regulation of a redox reaction triggered by the enzyme. Mikrochim Acta 2018; 185:231. [PMID: 29594735 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-018-2769-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2018] [Accepted: 03/10/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
The authors describe an environmentally friendly and fast (~14 min) method for the synthesis of homogeneously distributed fluorescent polydopamine nanodots (PDA-NDs) using KMnO4 as the oxidant. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) catalyzes the hydrolysis of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate to release free ascorbic acid which undergoes an in-situ redox reaction with KMnO4. Depending on the activity of ALP, more or less KMnO4 is consumed, and this affects the formation of the PDA-NDs. Based on this finding, a sensitive method was worked out to quantify the activity of ALP via real-time formation of fluorescent PDA-NDs. The fluorometric signal (best measured at excitation/emission peaks of 390/500 nm) is linear in the 1 to 50 mU·mL-1 ALP activity range, and the limit of the detection is as low as 0.94 mU·mL-1 (based on 3 σ/m). The method was successfully applied to the determination of ALP activity in spiked human serum and in MCF-7 cell lysates. It was also applied in a method to screen for inhibitors of ALP. Graphical abstract Schematic of a fluorometric method for the determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. The method is based on the in-situ regulation of the formation of fluorescent polydopamine nanodots (PDA-NDs) through the competition between the KMnO4-induced polymerization of dopamine and ALP-directed ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (Asc-2P) hydrolysis.

Abstract
Catecholamine neurotransmitters, generally including dopamine (DA), epinephrine (EP) and norepinephrine (NE) are known as substantial indicators of various neurological diseases. Simultaneous detection of these compounds and their metabolites is highly recommended in early clinical diagnosis. To this aim, in the present contribution, a high performance colorimetric sensor array has been proposed for the detection and discrimination of catecholamines based on their reducing ability to deposit silver on the surface of gold nanorods (AuNRs). The amassed silver nanoshell led to a blue shift in the longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak of AuNRs, creating a unique pattern for each of the neurotransmitters. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and linear discriminate analysis (LDA) pattern recognition techniques were employed to identify DA, EP and NE. The proposed colorimetric array is able to differentiate among individual neurotransmitters as well as their mixtures, successfully. Finally, it was shown that the sensor array can identify these neurotransmitters in human urine samples.

Abstract
In this work, a novel approach for simple and sensitive determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is developed on the basis of an inner filter effect of p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNPP) on the fluorescence of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs). AuNCs with a high quantum yield of 12% were synthesized by one-pot strategy and were directly applied as fluorescent substance. When AuNCs were mixed with PNPP, the fluorescence of the AuNCs was remarkably quenched or was decreased via the inner filter effect since the absorption spectrum of PNPP overlaps well with the excitation spectrum of the AuNCs. While in the presence of ALP, PNPP was catalytically hydrolyzed into p-nitrophenol, which has different absorption characteristics from those of PNPP, resulting in the recovery of the AuNCs fluorescence. Thus, a novel "turn-on" fluorescent sensor for detecting ALP was established with a detection limit as low as 0.002 U/L (signal-to-noise ratio of 3). The turn-on fluorescent sensor exhibits many merits such as high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, and high signal output because of the low background signals. In addition, the developed sensing method was successfully applied to investigate ALP inhibitors and ALP determination in serum samples. A good linear relationship was obtained in the range from 0.02 to 50 U/L, and satisfactory recoveries at four spiking levels of ALP ranged from 95% to 106% with precision below 5%. The very simple sensing approach proposed here should promote the development of fluorescence turn-on chemosensors for chemo/biodetection.

Abstract
A very sensitive and convenient nanobiosensor based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was developed for the detection of a 22-mer oligonucleotides sequence in Human Papillomavirus 18 virus (HPV18) gene. For this purpose, water-soluble CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized and, subsequently, amino-modified 11-mer oligonucleotide as one of the two necessary probes was attached to QDs surface to form functional QDs-DNA conjugates. Right after addition of the QDs-DNA and a second Cyanine5 (Cy5)-labeled 11-mer oligonucleotide probe to the DNA target solution, the sandwiched hybrids were formed. The resulting hybridization brings the Cy5 fluorophore as the acceptor to close proximity of the QDs as donor, so that an effective transfer of energy from the excited QDs to the Cy5 probe would occur via FRET processing. The fluorescence intensity of Cy5 found to linearly enhance by increasing the DNA target concentration from 1.0 to 50.0nM, with a detection limit of 0.2nM. This homogeneous DNA detection method does not require excessive washing and separation steps of un-hybridized DNA, due to the fact that no FRET can be observed when the probes are not ligated. Finally, feasibility and selectivity of the proposed one-spot DNA detection nanobiosensor were investigated by analysis of derived nucleotides from HPV18 and mismatched sequences.

Abstract
The specific immune-reaction between the anti-citrinin antibody immobilized on the surface of magnetic/silica core–shell (MSCS) and the citrinin–Rho123–BSA conjugate brings the Rho123 fluorophore as an acceptor and the QDs as a donor in close spatial proximity and causes FRET for occurring upon photo-excitation of the QDs. The novelties of this study include: (1) immobilization of the MSCS; (2) large amount of the immobilized QDs, and (3) immobilization of a large amount of Rho123 on the BSA macromolecule. Cd/Te QDs were synthesized by the simultaneous reduction of cadmium chloride and tellurium in the presence of sodium borohydride. Magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized using FeSO4 and FeCl3. The prepared magnetic nanoparticles shelled by silica using tetraethoxysilane in the presence of ammonia. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis was used for investigating shape and monodispersity of the nanoparticles. EDC/NHS was used as a cross linking agent for immobilization of the QDs, conjugation of citrinin to amino groups of BSA, labeling of BSA with Rho123 and also for immobilization of the amino-functionalized MSCS on the immobilized QDs. Immobilization of the anti-citrinin antibody on the surface of the amino-functionalized MSCS was performed by Schiff-base mechanism. By using these three effective strategies, sensitivity of the designed nanobiosensor was incredibly enhanced as a very low limit of detection (up to 0.1 pM). The feasibility of this technique was tested by the detection of citrinin in the spiked human serum. Results showed that there was a linear correlation between the decreased fluorescence intensity of the Rho123 and increased fluorescence intensity of the QDs with increasing concentration of citrinin in the spiked samples in the range of 1–6 pM. According to obtained results, we conclude that this highly sensitive detection scheme is a easy, quick and impressive method that can be used in optical-based nanosensors.

Abstract
A "signal off" voltammetric aptasensor was developed for the sensitive and selective detection of ultra-low levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). For this purpose, a new strategy based on the principle of recognition-induced switching of aptamers from DNA/DNA duplex to DNA/target complex was designed using thioglycolic acid (TGA)-capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) as the signal amplifying nano-platforms. Owing to the small size, high surface-to-volume ratio and good conductivity, quantum dots were immobilized on the electrode surface for signal amplification. In this work, methylene blue (MB) adsorbed to DNA was used as a sensitive redox reporter. The intensity of voltammetric signal of MB was found to decrease linearly upon ATP addition over a concentration range of 0.1nM to 1.6μM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9924. Under optimized conditions, the aptasensor was able to selectively detect ATP with a limit of detection of 45pM at 3σ. The results also demonstrated that the QDs-based amplification strategy could be feasible for ATP assay and presented a potential universal method for other small biomolecular aptasensors.

Abstract
Changing the properties of photoprotein aequorin such as the wavelength emission and decay half-life by using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) phenomenon is the main aim in this paper. BRET system was set up with CdSe/ZnS quantum dot nanoparticles as an acceptor molecule and photoprotein as an energy donor molecule. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanoparticles with very interesting optical properties, including broad excitation spectra, narrow and the symmetric band width emission spectra, tunable by their sizes, compositions, negligible photo-bleaching and good chemical and photo-stability. In this QD-BRET system, aequorin is conjugated to the carboxyl groups on quantum dot surface by EDC/NHS chemistry as cross linker. Bioluminescence energy generates by aequorin upon adding Ca(2+) and transfers to the quantum dots in a radiationless manner and emits at a longer wavelength. The determined bioluminescent parameters for this method included aequorin activity, emission spectra and decay half-life time. In fact, this spectrum tuning strategy resulted in a change in bioluminescent properties of photoprotein, therefore, the maximum emission wavelength shifted from 455 to 540nm and the decay time increased from 3.76 to 12.11s. Nowadays, photoproteins with different characteristics are capable of being employed as a reporter in multi-analyte detections and in vivo imaging.

Abstract
Fluorescent carbon nanodots (CNDs) were synthesized through a facile, economic and green one-step hydrothermal process. The CNDs exhibit various merits including excellent solubility, superior photostability and low toxicity. Besides, the CNDs can be used as an effective fluorescent probe for dopamine and Al(3+). What's more, this CNDs based fluorescent probe was favorably applied to the analyses of dopamine in biological fluids and Al(3+) in food samples. This CDs based sensing platform shows its potential applications in the field of biology and food analysis with extraordinary advantages such as fast and simple as well as environmental-friendly. Inspired by these results, the prepared CNDs can be utilized as logic gates at the molecular level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, some new nanobiosensors using different nanoparticles or microarray systems for detection of mycotoxins have been designed . However, rapid, sensitive and early detection of aflatoxicosis would be very helpful to distinguish high-risk persons. OBJECTIVES We report a highly sensitive competitive immunoassay using magnetic/silica core shell as a signal intensifier for the determination of aflatoxin B1 using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from Cd/Te quantum dots (antiaflatoxin B1 antibody immobilized on the surface of Cd/Te quantum dots) to Rhodamine 123 (Rho 123-labeled aflatoxin B1 bound to albumin). The specific immune-reaction between the anti-aflatoxin B1 antibody on the QDs and the labeledaflatoxin B1 brings the Rho 123 fluorophore (acting as the acceptor) and the QDs (acting as the donor) in close spatial proximity and causes FRET to occur upon photo-excitation of the QDs. Using magnetic/silica core shell to intensify the obtained signal is the novelty of this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cd/Te QDs were synthesized by the simultaneous reduction of cadmium chloride and tellurium in the presence of sodium borohydride under nitrogen atmosphere. Magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized using FeSO4 and FeCl3 (1:2 molar ratio) and ammonia as an oxidizing agent under nitrogen atmosphere. The prepared magnetic nanoparticles shelled by silica using tetraethoxysilane in the presence of ammonia. Nanoparticles synthesis and monodispersity confirmed by TEM. Immobilization of Cd/Te QDs to antibodies and labeling of aflatoxin B1-albumin by Rho 123 were performed by EDC/NHS reaction in reaction mixture buffer, pH 6, at room temperature. RESULTS By using the magnetic/silica core shell sensitivity of the system changed from 2×10-11 in our previous study to 2×10-12 in this work. The feasibility of the method established by the detection of aflatoxin B1 in spiked human serum. There is a linear relationship between the decreased fluorescence intensity of Rho 123 with increasing concentration of aflatoxin B1 in spiked samples, over the range of 0.01-0.06 μmol.mL-1. CONCLUSIONS This homogeneous competitive detection scheme is simple, rapid and efficient, and does not require multiple separation steps and excessive washing.

Abstract
In this work, three kinds of nanostructured silica-phytic acid (SiO2-PA) materials with diverse morphologies including spherical SiO2-PA (s-SiO2-PA), rod-like (r-SiO2-PA), and helical SiO2-PA (h-SiO2-PA) were prepared with the help of electrostatic interaction. The SiO2-PA nanomaterials with different morphologies were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and circular dichroism spectrum (CD). Diverse morphologies of SiO2-PA were used as electrode decorated materials to achieve a high efficiency for electrochemical dopamine (DA) detection. The laccase biosensors were fabricated by immobilizing different morphologies of SiO2-PA nanomaterials and laccase onto the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface, successively. Then the electrochemical responses of the different morphologies of nanostructured SiO2-PA nanomaterials to laccase were discussed. Results indicated that compared to laccase/s-SiO2-PA and laccase/r-SiO2-PA, the laccase/h-SiO2-PA-modified electrode showed the best electrochemical performances.

Abstract
A novel, rapid and highly sensitive fluorescence turn-on assay for the detection of biothiols (glutathione, and L-cysteine), histidine and threonine was developed. Water-soluble CuInS2 ternary quantum dots (QDs) capped by mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) were directly synthesized in aqueous solution, and then functionalized using tyrosine molecules to form tyrosine-functionalized CuInS2 QDs (T-CuInS2 QDs). The fluorescence of T-CuInS2 QDs would decrease in the presence of Cu(2+) due to the coordination effect of phenolic hydroxyls of the tyrosine molecules. Subsequently, the addition of biothiols (glutathione and L-cysteine), histidine or threonine could turn on the fluorescence of the T-CuInS2 QDs-Cu(2+) system due to their strong affinity for Cu(2+). The proposed method was simple in design and fast in operation, and it was applied for the detection of glutathione, L-cysteine, histidine, and threonine in human serum samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
In this article, we describe a new platform for probing double stranded DNA (dsDNA) by tracing the "on-off-on" fluorescence signals of quantum dots-cationic porphyrin utilizing fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence measurements. Electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged thioglycolic acid capped CdTe quantum dots (CdTe-TGA QDs) and positively charged porphyrin surfaces leads to drastic quenching (turning off) of the donor by an effective electron transfer process. Interestingly, after the addition of calf thymus DNA (CtDNA), the porphyrins peel off from the quantum dot surface and bind to dsDNA, resulting in the restoration of fluorescence intensity of quantum dots (turning on). Consequently, this can be utilized for the selective sensing of dsDNA via optical responses. Experimental results show that the increase in fluorescence intensity is proportional to the concentration of CtDNA within the range of 6.5 × 10(-9) M to 29.6 × 10(-8) M under the optimized experimental conditions. Furthermore, the peel off mechanism was confirmed by atomic force measurement.

Abstract
Facile detection of dopamine (DA) in biological samples for diagnostics remains a challenge. This paper reported an effective fluorescent sensor based on adenosine capped CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (A-QDs) for highly sensitive detection of DA in human urine samples. In this assay, adenosine serves as a capping ligand or stabilizer for QDs to render high-quality QDs dispersed in water, and as a receptor for DA to attach DA onto the surface of A-QDs. DA molecules can bind to A-QDs via non-covalent bonding, leading to the fluorescence quenching of A-QDs due to electron transfer. The A-QDs based fluorescence probe showed a limit of detection (LOD) of ca. 29.3 nM for DA detection. This facile method exhibited high selectivity and anti-interference in the presence of amino acid, ascorbic acid (AA), uric acid (UA) and glucide with 100-fold higher concentration in PBS solution. Furthermore, it was also successfully used in the detection of DA in the human urine samples with quantitative recoveries (94.80-103.40%).

Abstract
Water-soluble CuInS2 ternary quantum dots (QDs) capped by mercaptopropionic acid were directly synthesized in aqueous solution. Consequently, the CuInS2 QDs were covalently linked to 3-aminophenyl boronic acid molecules to form the 3-aminophenyl boronic acid-functionalized CuInS2 QDs (F-CuInS2 QDs). The F-CuInS2 QDs had a fairly symmetric fluorescence emission centered at 736nm that was in the near-infrared region (NIR). The F-CuInS2 QDs containing boronic acid functional groups were reactive toward vicinal diols to form five- or six-member cyclic esters in an alkaline aqueous solution. The reaction would cause the fluorescence quenching, which could be used as a fluorescence probe for the determination of dopamine (DA). This assay could also probe other vicinal diols such as catechol, pyrogallol, and gallate, based on the fluorescence quenching of the F-CuInS2 QDs, and this assay was nearly unaffected by other phenol compounds such as phenol, resorcinol, and hydroquinone without the vicinal diol structures. The developed F-CuInS2 QDs were applied to the detection of DA in human serum samples with satisfactory results. Therefore, this experment provided a simple and sensitve NIR fluorescence probe for the detection of DA, catechol, pyrogallol, and gallate.
