Abstract
Heavy metal detection is critical due to its harmful effects on human health and the ecosystem. Enzyme-based platforms attract attention for heavy metal detection such as silver, a toxic metal, due to being small, portable, and requiring only essential equipment compared with the basic analytical methods. In this study, magnetic cross-linked invertase aggregates (MCLIA) were developed for the first time as an enzyme-based signaling platform to detect Ag+ using a personal glucose meter (PGM). EDX, FTIR, and VSM results depicted that MCLIA was successfully developed and exhibits super-paramagnetism. In addition, MCLIA selectively detected the Ag+ at a sensitivity of 1.2 inhibition rate/μM in a linear range from 5 to 70 μM with a detection limit of 4.6 μM and IC50 value of 42.3 μM. These findings strongly indicate that MCLIA is applicable as a signal platform for portable quantification of other analytes that inhibits the invertase enzyme.

RSC Adv 2020; 10:26239-26245. [PMID: 35519757 PMCID: PMC9055297 DOI: 10.1039/d0ra04202a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2020] [Accepted: 06/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
In this work, an efficient and sensitive fluorometric sensor was developed to detect silver ions (Ag+). It is based on the cytosine–Ag+–cytosine (C–Ag+–C) structure via a dual-signal amplification strategy using glucose oxidase (GOx) and the hybridization chain reaction (HCR). A silver-coated glass slide (SCGS) acts as an ideal material for separation. Cytosine rich (C-rich) capture DNA (C-DNA) assembled themselves on the SCGS via Ag–S bonds and hybridized with signal DNA (S-DNA) to trigger the HCR. With specific base-pairing, the S-DNA and HCR products bind on the SCGS. Then, the GOx–biotin–streptavidin (SA) complexes bind to the HCR products through SA–biotin interactions. Owing to the formation of a particular C–Ag+–C structure between two neighboring C-rich C-DNA on the SCGS, the C-DNA/S-DNA/HP1-GOx/HP2-GOx complex gradually moved away from the SCGS as the concentration of Ag+ increased and the combined GOx fell into the buffer. H2O2 could be generated during the oxidation of glucose, catalyzed by GOx in the buffer. Afterward, H2O2 could oxidize the substrate (3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-propanoic acid) when Horseradish peroxidase was present, giving rise to blue fluorescence. The proposed strategy reached a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.8 pmol L−1 with a linear detection range of 5 to 1000 pmol L−1 for Ag+. Moreover, this assay has been commendably used for the detection of Ag+ in actual samples with fairly good results. An assay for Ag+ based on a C–Ag+–C structure by utilizing a HCR/GOx dual-signal amplification strategy and SCGS as an ideal separation material.![]()

JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL METHODS IN CHEMISTRY 2019; 2019:3712032. [PMID: 30944752 PMCID: PMC6421803 DOI: 10.1155/2019/3712032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2018] [Revised: 01/28/2019] [Accepted: 02/05/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
A C-Ag+-C structure-based fluorescence biosensor with novel combination design of exonuclease III (Exo III) dual-recycling amplification is proposed for the application of silver ions (Ag+) detection. Since oligo-1 involves C-C mismatches, the presence of Ag+ can be captured to form C-Ag+-C base pairs, which results in a double-helix structure with a blunt terminus. The double-helix structure can be cleaved by EXO III to release short mononucleotide fragments (trigger DNA) and Ag+. Released Ag+ can form new bindings with oligo-1, and other trigger DNA can be produced in the digestion cycles. Hybridization with the signal DNA (oligo-2) transforms a trigger DNA into double-stranded DNA with blunt terminus which can be cleaved by Exo III to reproduce the trigger DNA and form guanine- (G-) quadruplex DNA. The trigger DNA returns free to the solution and hybridizes with another signal DNA, which realizes the dual-recycling amplification. The G-quadruplex DNA can be reported by N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (NMM), a specific G-quadruplex DNA fluorochrome. This method allows Ag+ to be determined in the 5 to 1500 pmol/L concentration range, with a 2 pmol/L detection limit, and it has been successfully applied to the detection of Ag+ in real samples.

Abstract
Silver has been widely used for disinfection. The cellular accumulation of silver ions (Ag+) is critical in these antibacterial effects. The direct cellular measurement of Ag+ is useful for the study of disinfection mechanisms. Herein, we reported a novel genetically encoded RNA-based sensor to image Ag+ in live bacterial cells. The sensor is designed by introducing a cytosine-Ag+-cytosine metallo base pair into a fluorogenic RNA aptamer, Broccoli. The binding of Ag+ induces the folding of Broccoli and activates a fluorescence signal. This sensor can be genetically encoded to measure the cellular flux and antibacterial effect of Ag+.

Abstract
Despite their practical applications, Ag+ ions are environmental pollutants and affect human health. So the effective detection methods of Ag+ ions are imperative. Herein, we developed a simple, sensitive, selective, and cost-effective fluorescence polarization sensor for Ag+ detection in aqueous solution using thiol-DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In this sensing strategy, Ag+ ions can specifically interact with a cytosine-cytosine (CC) mismatch in DNA duplexes and form stable metal-mediated cytosine-Ag+-cytosine (C-Ag+-C) base pairs. The formation of the C-Ag+-C complex results in evident changes in the molecular volume and fluorescence polarization signal. To achieve our aims, we prepared two complementary DNA strands containing C-base mismatches (probe A: 5'-SH-A10-TACCACTCCTCAC-3' and probe B: 5'-TCCTCACCAGTCCTA-FAM-3'). The stable hybridization between probe A and probe B occurs with the formation of the C-Ag+-C complex in the presence of Ag+ ions, leading to obvious fluorescence quenching in comparison to the system without AuNP enhancement. The assay can be used to identify nanomolar levels of Ag+ within 6 min at room temperature, and has extremely high specificity for Ag+, even in the presence of higher concentrations of interfering metal ions. Furthermore, the sensor was successfully applied to the detection of Ag+ ions in environmental water samples and showed excellent selectivity and high sensitivity, implying its promising application in the future.

Abstract
The fabrication and evaluation of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with self-doped polyaniline nanofibers (SPAN)/mesoporous carbon nitride (MCN) and bismuth for simultaneous determination of trace Cd2+ and Pb2+ by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) are presented here. The morphology properties of SPAN and MCN were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the electrochemical properties of the fabricated electrode were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Experimental parameters, such as deposition time, pulse potential, step potential, bismuth concentration and NaCl concentration, were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the fabricated electrode exhibited linear calibration curves ranging from 5 to 80 nM for Cd2+ and Pb2+. The limits of detection (LOD) were 0.7 nM for Cd2+ and 0.2 nM for Pb2+ (S/N = 3). Additionally, the repeatability, reproducibility, anti-interference ability and application were also investigated, and the proposed electrode exhibited excellent performance. The proposed method could be extended for other heavy metal determination.
