Abstract
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) represent highly ordered molecular materials with versatile biochemical features and multidisciplinary applications. Research on SAMs has made much progress since the early begginings of Au substrates and alkanethiols, and numerous examples of peptide-displaying SAMs can be found in the literature. Peptides, presenting increasing structural complexity, stimuli-responsiveness, and biological relevance, represent versatile functional components in SAMs-based platforms. This review examines the major findings and progress made on the use of peptide building blocks displayed as part of SAMs with specific functions, such as selective cell adhesion, migration and differentiation, biomolecular binding, advanced biosensing, molecular electronics, antimicrobial, osteointegrative and antifouling surfaces, among others. Peptide selection and design, functionalisation strategies, as well as structural and functional characteristics from selected examples are discussed. Additionally, advanced fabrication methods for dynamic peptide spatiotemporal presentation are presented, as well as a number of characterisation techniques. All together, these features and approaches enable the preparation and use of increasingly complex peptide-based SAMs to mimic and study biological processes, and provide convergent platforms for high throughput screening discovery and validation of promising therapeutics and technologies.

Abstract
Over the last decade, autoimmune diseases (ADs) have undergone a significant increase because of genetic and/or environmental factors; therefore, their simple and fast diagnosis is of high importance. The conventional diagnostic techniques for ADs require tedious sample preparation, sophisticated instruments, a dedicated laboratory, and qualified personnel. For these reasons, biosensors could represent a useful alternative to these methods. Biosensors are considered to be promising tools that can be used in clinical analysis for an early diagnosis due to their high sensitivity, simplicity, low cost, possible miniaturization (POCT), and potential ability for real-time analysis. In this review, recently developed biosensors for the detection of autoimmune disease biomarkers are discussed. In the first part, we focus on the main AD biomarkers and the current methods of their detection. Then, we discuss the principles and different types of biosensors. Finally, we overview the characteristics of biosensors based on different bioreceptors reported in the literature.

Abstract
In this study, we present the development of an electrochemical sensor designed for ultrasensitive detection of endogenous H2O2. This sensor relies on signal amplification achieved through nanozyme activity exhibited by methylene blue (MB) grafted onto a peptide support. The sensor exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity, with a limit of detection of 18 nM and a linear detection range of 20-200 nM. Thus, we have validated the concept of the MB-peptide system, serving as both an electroactive label and a catalyst for H2O2 decomposition under electrochemical conditions. The implemented signal amplification system enables the rapid detection of H2O2, with an overall assay time of 1-2 min, a significant improvement compared to amperometric detection using surface-immobilized enzymes.

Abstract
Antibodies are among the most relevant biomolecular targets for diagnostic and clinical applications. In this Perspective, we provide a critical overview of recent research efforts focused on the development and characterization of devices, switches, and reactions based on the use of synthetic antigen-conjugated DNA strands designed to be responsive to specific antibodies. These systems can find applications in sensing, drug-delivery, and antibody-antigen binding characterization. The examples described here demonstrate how the programmability and chemical versatility of synthetic nucleic acids can be used to create innovative analytical tools and target-responsive systems with promising potentials.

Abstract
RNA isolation and amplification-free user-friendly detection of SARS-CoV-2 is the need of hour especially at resource limited settings. Herein, we devised the peptides of human angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (hACE-2) as bioreceptor at electrode interface for selective targeting of receptor binding domains (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SP). Disposable carbon-screen printed electrode modified with methylene blue (MB) electroadsorbed graphene oxide (GO) has been constructed as cost-efficient and scalable platform for hACE-2 peptide-based SARS-CoV-2 detection. In silico molecular docking of customized 25 mer peptides with RBD of SARS-CoV-2 SP were validated by AutoDock CrankPep. N-terminal region of ACE-2 showed higher binding affinity of - 20.6 kcal/mol with 15 H-bond, 9 of which were < 3 Å. Electrochemical biosensing of different concentrations of SPs were determined by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA), enabling a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.58 pg/mL and 0.71 pg/mL, respectively. MB-GO devised hACE-2 peptide platform exert an enhanced current sensitivity of 0.0105 mA/pg mL-1 cm-2 (R2 = 0.9792) (CV) and 0.45 nA/pg mL-1 (R2 = 0.9570) (CA) against SP in the range of 1 pg/mL to 1 µg/mL. For clinical feasibility, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab specimens in viral transport medium were directly tested with the prepared peptide biosensor and validated with RT-PCR, promising for point-of-need analysis.

Abstract
Nanoporous gold (NPG) is one of the most extensively investigated nanomaterials owing to its tunable pore size, ease of surface modification, and range of applications from catalysis, actuation, and molecular release to the development of electrochemical sensors. In an effort to improve the usefulness of NPG, a simple and robust method for the fabrication of hierarchical and bimodal nanoporous gold electrodes (hb-NPG) containing both macro-and mesopores is reported using electrochemical alloying and dealloying processes to engineer a bicontinuous solid/void morphology. Scanning electron microscopy (color SEM) images depict the hierarchical pore structure created after the multistep synthesis with an ensemble of tiny pores below 100 nm in size located in ligaments spanning larger pores of several hundred nanometers. Smaller-sized pores are exploited for surface modification, and the network of larger pores aids in molecular transport. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was used to compare the electrochemically active surface area of the hierarchical bimodal structure with that of the regular unimodal NPG with an emphasis on the critical role of both dealloying and annealing in creating the desired structure. The adsorption of different proteins was followed using UV-vis absorbance measurements of solution depletion revealing the high loading capacity of hb-NPG. The surface coverage of lipoic acid on the hb-NPG was analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and reductive desorption. The roughness factor determinations suggest that the fabricated hb-NPG electrode has tremendous potential for biosensor development by changing the scaling relations between volume and surface area which may lead to improved analytical performance. We have chosen to take advantage of the surface architectures of hb-NPG due to the presence of a large specific surface area for functionalization and rapid transport pathways for faster response. It is shown that the hb-NPG electrode has a higher sensitivity for the amperometric detection of glucose than does an NPG electrode of the same geometric surface area.

Abstract
The recently introduced technique of square-wave chronoamperometry (SWCA) is studied under conditions of progressively increasing height of potential pulses (square-wave amplitude) within a single experiment. In multi-amplitude square-wave chronoamperometry (MA-SWCA) a potential modulation consisting of square-wave forward and reverse potential pulses is imposed on a constant mid-potential; the amplitude of pulses increases progressively during the experiment. This allows the fast and reliable estimation of kinetic parameters at a constant pulse frequency in a single experiment, based on the resulting feature known as the amplitude-based quasireversible maximum. The proposed methodology is tested by simulating the responses of a simple quasireversible electrode reaction of a dissolved redox couple and a surface confined electrode reaction. Compared with conventional square-wave voltammetry (SWV) and SWCA, MA-SWCA shows advantages in estimation of the standard rate constant in terms of simplicity, speed and efficiency for both studied electrode mechanisms.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the stiffness and stress relaxation of poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) hydrogels on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Varying the amount of the crosslinker and the ratio between the monomers enabled the obtainment of hydrogels with controlled mechanical properties, as characterized using unconfined compression and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Subsequently, the surface of the hydrogels was functionalized with a mimetic peptide of the BMP-2 protein, in order to favor the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Finally, hMSCs were cultured on the hydrogels with different stiffness and stress relaxation: 15 kPa - 15%, 60 kPa - 15%, 140 kPa - 15%, 100 kPa - 30%, and 140 kPa - 70%. The cells on hydrogels with stiffnesses from 60 kPa to 140 kPa presented a star-like shape, typical of osteocytes, which has only been reported by our group for two-dimensional substrates. Then, the extent of hMSC differentiation was evaluated by using immunofluorescence and by quantifying the expression of both osteoblast markers (Runx-2 and osteopontin) and osteocyte markers (E11, DMP1, and sclerostin). It was found that a stiffness of 60 kPa led to a higher expression of osteocyte markers as compared to stiffnesses of 15 and 140 kPa. Finally, the strongest expression of osteoblast and osteocyte differentiation markers was observed for the hydrogel with a high relaxation of 70% and a stiffness of 140 kPa.

Abstract
Bovine diarrhea is a major concern in the global bovine industry because it can cause significant financial damage. Of the many potential infectious agents that can lead to bovine diarrhea, bovine rotavirus (BRV) is a particular problem due to its high transmissibility and infectivity. Therefore, it is important to prevent the proliferation of BRV using an early detection system. This study developed an affinity peptide-based electrochemical method for use as a rapid detection system for BRV. A BRV-specific peptide was identified via the phage display technique and chemically synthesized. The synthetic peptide was immobilized on a gold electrode through thiol-gold interactions. The performance of the BRV specific binding peptides was evaluated using square wave voltammetry. The developed detection system exhibited a low detection limit (5 copies/mL) and limit of quantitation (2.14 × 102 copies/mL), indicating that it is a promising sensor platform for the monitoring of BRV.

Abstract
The ability to monitor molecular targets is crucial in fields ranging from healthcare to industrial processing to environmental protection. Devices employing biomolecules to achieve this goal are called biosensors. Over the last half century researchers have developed dozens of different biosensor approaches. In this chapter we analyze recent advances in the biosensing field aiming at adapting these to the problem of continuous molecular monitoring in complex sample streams, and how the merging of these sensors with lab-on-a-chip technologies would be beneficial to both. To do so we discuss (1) the components that comprise a biosensor, (2) the challenges associated with continuous molecular monitoring in complex sample streams, (3) how different sensing strategies deal with (or fail to deal with) these challenges, and (4) the implementation of these technologies into lab-on-a-chip architectures.

Abstract
Peptides represent a promising class of biorecognition elements that can be coupled to electrochemical transducers. The benefits lie mainly in their stability and selectivity toward a target analyte. Furthermore, they can be synthesized rather easily and modified with specific functional groups, thus making them suitable for the development of novel architectures for biosensing platforms, as well as alternative labelling tools. Peptides have also been proposed as antibiofouling agents. Indeed, biofouling caused by the accumulation of biomolecules on electrode surfaces is one of the major issues and challenges to be addressed in the practical application of electrochemical biosensors. In this review, we summarise trends from the last three years in the design and development of electrochemical biosensors using synthetic peptides. The different roles of peptides in the design of electrochemical biosensors are described. The main procedures of selection and synthesis are discussed. Selected applications in clinical diagnostics are also described.

Strongyloidiasis Serological Analysis with Three Different Biological Probes and Their Electrochemical Responses in a Screen-Printed Gold Electrode. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 21:1931. [PMID: 33801807 PMCID: PMC8000320 DOI: 10.3390/s21061931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
(1) Background: The validation of biological antigens is the study's utmost goal in biomedical applications. We evaluated three different probes with single and multiple epitopes through electrochemical detection of specific IgG in serum for human strongyloidiasis diagnosis. (2) Methods: Screen-printed gold electrodes were used and probes consisting of two single-epitope synthetic peptides (D3 and C10) with different sequences, and a multi-epitope antigen [detergent phase (DP)-hydrophobic membrane proteins]. Human serum samples from three populations were used: Strongyloides stercoralis positive, positive for other parasitic infections and negative controls. To test the immobilization of probes onto a screen-printed gold electrode and the serum IgG detection, electrochemical analyses were carried out through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and the electrode surface analyses were recorded using atomic force microscopy. (3) Results: The electrochemical response in screen-printed gold electrodes of peptides D3 and C10 when using positive serum was significantly higher than that when using the DP. Our sensor improved sensitivity to detect strongyloidiasis. (4) Conclusions: Probes' sequences are critical factors for differential electrochemical responses, and the D3 peptide presented the best electrochemical performance for strongyloidiasis detection, and may efficiently substitute whole antigen extracts from parasites for strongyloidiasis diagnosis in electrochemical immunosensors.

Abstract
Proteins are generally detected as biomarkers for tracing or determining various disorders in organisms. Biomarker proteins can be tracked in samples with various origins and in different concentrations, revealing whether an organism is in a healthy or unhealthy state. In regard to detection, electrochemical biosensors are a potential fusion of electronics, chemistry, and biology, allowing for fast and early point-of-care detection from a biological sample with the advantages of high sensitivity, simple construction, and easy operation. Peptides present a promising approach as a biorecognition element when connected with electrochemical biosensors. The benefits of short peptides lie mainly in their good stability and selective affinity to a target analyte. Therefore, peptide-based electrochemical biosensors (PBEBs) represent an alternative approach for the detection of different protein biomarkers. This review provides a summary of the past decade of recently proposed PBEBs designed for protein detection, dividing them according to different protein types: (i) enzyme detection, including proteases and kinases; (ii) antibody detection; and (iii) other protein detection. According to these protein types, different sensing mechanisms are discussed, such as the peptide cleavage by a proteases, phosphorylation by kinases, presence of antibodies, and exploiting of affinities; furthermore, measurements are obtained by different electrochemical methods. A discussion and comparison of various constructions, modifications, immobilization strategies and different sensing techniques in terms of high sensitivity, selectivity, repeatability, and potential for practical application are presented.

Abstract
![]()
Electrochemical sensors
are major players in the race for improved
molecular diagnostics due to their convenience, temporal resolution,
manufacturing scalability, and their ability to support real-time
measurements. This is evident in the ever-increasing number of health-related
electrochemical sensing platforms, ranging from single-measurement
point-of-care devices to wearable devices supporting immediate and
continuous monitoring. In support of the need for such systems to
rapidly process large data volumes, we describe here an open-source,
easily customizable, multiplatform compatible program for the real-time
control, processing, and visualization of electrochemical data. The
software’s architecture is modular and fully documented, allowing
the easy customization of the code to support the processing of voltammetric
(e.g., square-wave and cyclic) and chronoamperometric data. The program,
which we have called Software for the Analysis and Continuous Monitoring of Electrochemical Systems (SACMES), also includes a graphical interface
allowing the user to easily change analysis parameters (e.g., signal/noise
processing, baseline correction) in real-time. To demonstrate the
versatility of SACMES we use it here to analyze the real-time data
output by (1) the electrochemical, aptamer-based measurement of a
specific small-molecule target, (2) a monoclonal antibody-detecting
DNA-scaffold sensor, and (3) the determination of the folding thermodynamics
of an electrode-attached, redox-reporter-modified protein.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is a T cell-mediated inflammatory autoimmune disorder of the upper small intestine caused by the ingestion of gluten. It is increasingly recognized as a global problem by experts and societies. The diagnosis of CD is of crucial importance because its delay strongly affects patient's health and quality of life. The diagnosis of CD is, however, complex and requires reliable, sensitive, specific, rapid, simple, and cost-effective, as well-as non-invasive analytical tools. There is also a high demand to develop simple point-of-care (POC) tests for non-specialists at home or in doctors' offices. Analytical techniques are now moving toward the development of fast, more simple, non-invasive, and POC analyses. The present review focuses on recent advances of CD biomarker detection in body fluids, concerning CD specific autoantibody detection in blood and saliva using electrochemical, optic-fiber, and piezoelectric biosensors and POC finger-prick tests, and identifying CD characteristic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urine and feces.

Abstract
Peptide-based sandwich assays are promising tools in molecular detection, but may be restricted by the availability of "pairs" of affinity peptides. Herein, a new potentiometric sandwich assay for bacteria based on peptide pairs derived from an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) ligand is demonstrated. As a model, the original AMP with a well-defined structure for Listeria monocytogenes (LM) can be split into two fragments to serve as the peptide pairs for the sandwich assay. The recognition and binding of the short peptide pairs to the target can be verified by circular dichroism, flow cytometry, fluorometry, and optical microscopy. The potentiometric magnetic bead-based sandwich assay is designed by using horseradish peroxidase as a label. The enzyme can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine with H2O2 to induce a potential change on a polymeric membrane ion-selective electrode. Under optimal conditions, the concentration of LM can be determined potentiometrically in a linear range of 1.0 × 102 to 1.0 × 106 CFU mL-1 with a detection limit of 10 CFU mL-1 (3σ). The proposed sensing strategy expands the applications of peptides in the field of bioassays.

Abstract
In this study, we performed uni- and multivariate data analysis on the extended binding curves of several affinity pairs: immobilized acetylcholinesterase (AChE)/bioconjugates of aflatoxin B₁(AFB₁) and immobilized anti-AFB₁ monoclonal antibody/AFB₁-protein carriers. The binding curves were recorded on three mass sensitive cells operating in batch configurations: one commercial surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor and two custom-made Love wave surface-acoustic wave (LW-SAW) sensors. We obtained 3D plots depicting the time-evolution of the sensor response as a function of analyte concentration using real-time SPR binding sensograms. These "calibration" surfaces exploited the transient periods of the extended kinetic curves, prior to equilibrium, creating a "fingerprint" for each analyte, in considerably shortened time frames compared to the conventional 2D calibration plots. The custom-made SAW sensors operating in different experimental conditions allowed the detection of AFB₁-protein carrier in the nanomolar range. Subsequent statistical significance tests were performed on unpaired data sets to validate the custom-made LW-SAW sensors.

Abstract
An electrosensitive peptide probe has been developed from an in vitro selection technique using biorthogonal tRNA prepared with an electroreactive non-natural amino acid, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-conjugated aminophenylalanine. The selected probe quantitatively detected the influenza virus based on a signal "turn-on" mechanism. The developed strategy could be used to develop electrochemical biosensors toward a variety of targets.

Abstract
Redox-tagged peptides have emerged as functional materials with multiple applications in the area of sensing and biosensing applications due to their high stability, excellent redox properties and versatility of biomolecular interactions. They allow direct observation of molecular interactions in a wide range of affinity and enzymatic assays and act as electron mediators. Short helical peptides possess the ability to self-assemble in specific configurations with the possibility to develop in highly-ordered, stable 1D, 2D and 3D architectures in a hierarchical controlled manner. We provide here a brief overview of the electrochemical techniques available to study the electron transfer in peptide films with particular interest in developing biosensors with immobilized peptide motifs, for biological and clinical applications.

Abstract
Antibody-based immunosensors are relatively less accessible to a wide variety of unreachable targets, such as low-molecular-weight biomarkers that represent a rich untapped source of disease-specific diagnostic information. Here, we present a peptide aptamer-based electrochemical sensor technology called 'PEP-on-DEP' to detect less accessible target molecules, such as renin, and to improve the quality of life. Peptide-based aptamers represent a relatively smart class of affinity binders and show great promise in biosensor development. Renin is involved in the regulation of arterial blood pressure and is an emerging biomarker protein for predicting cardiovascular risk and prognosis. To our knowledge, no studies have described aptamer molecules that can be used as new potent probes for renin. Here, we describe a portable electrochemical biosensor platform based on the newly identified peptide aptamer molecules for renin. We constructed a randomized octapeptide library pool with diversified sequences and selected renin specific peptide aptamers using cDNA display technology. We identified a few peptide aptamer sequences with a KD in the µM binding affinity range for renin. Next, we grafted the selected peptide aptamers onto gold nanoparticles and detected renin in a one-step competitive assay using our originally developed DEP (Disposable Electrochemical Printed) chip and a USB powered portable potentiostat system. We successfully detected renin in as little as 300ngmL(-1) using the PEP-on-DEP method. Thus, the generation and characterization of novel probes for unreachable target molecules by merging a newly identified peptide aptamer with electrochemical transduction allowed for the development of a more practical biosensor that, in principle, can be adapted to develop a portable, low-cost and mass-producible biosensor for point-of-care applications.
