Abstract
Frequent monitoring of glycan patterns is a critical step in studying glycan-mediated cellular processes. However, the current glycan analysis tools are resource-intensive and less suitable for routine use in standard laboratories. We developed a novel glycan detection platform by integrating surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), boronic acid (BA) receptors, and machine learning tools. This sensor monitors the molecular fingerprint spectra of BA binding to cis-diol-containing glycans. Different types of BA receptors could yield different stereoselective reactions toward different glycans and exhibit unique vibrational spectra. By integration of the Raman spectra collected from different BA receptors, the structural information can be enriched, eventually improving the accuracy of glycan classification and quantification. Here, we established a SERS-based sensor incorporating multiple different BA receptors. This sensing platform could directly analyze the biological samples, including whole milk and intact glycoproteins (fetuin and asialofetuin), without tedious glycan release and purification steps. The results demonstrate the platform's ability to classify milk oligosaccharides with remarkable classification accuracy, despite the presence of other non-glycan constituents in the background. This sensor could also directly quantify sialylation levels of a fetuin/asialofetuin mixture without glycan release procedures. Moreover, by selecting appropriate BA receptors, the sensor exhibits an excellent performance of differentiating between α2,3 and α2,6 linkages of sialic acids. This low-cost, rapid, and highly accessible sensor will provide the scientific community with an invaluable tool for routine glycan screening in standard laboratories.

Abstract
Selective recognition of fructosyl amino acids in water by arylboronic acid-based receptors is a central field of modern supramolecular chemistry that impacts biological and medicinal chemistry. Fructosyl valine (FV) and fructosyl glycyl histidine (FGH) occur as N-terminal moieties of human glycated hemoglobin; therefore, the molecular design of biomimetic receptors is an attractive, but very challenging goal. Herein, we report three novel cationic Zn-terpyridine complexes bearing a fluorescent N-quinolinium nucleus covalently linked to three different isomers of strongly acidified phenylboronic acids (ortho-, 2Zn; meta-, 3Zn and para-, 4Zn) for the optical recognition of FV, FGH and comparative analytes (D-fructose, Gly, Val and His) in pure water at physiological pH. The complexes were designed to act as fluorescent receptors using a cooperative action of boric acid and a metal chelate. Complex 3Zn was found to display the most acidic -B(OH)2 group (pKa = 6.98) and exceptionally tight affinity for FV (K = 1.43 × 105 M-1) with a strong quenching analytical response in the micromolar concentration range. The addition of fructose and the other amino acids only induced moderate optical changes. On the basis of several spectroscopic tools (1H, 11B NMR, UV-Vis, and fluorescence titrations), ESI mass spectrometry, X-ray crystal structure, and DFT calculations, the interaction mode between 3Zn and FV is proposed in a 1 : 1 model through a cooperative two-point recognition involving a sp3 boronate-diol esterification with simultaneous coordination bonding of the carboxylate group of Val to the Zn atom. Fluorescence quenching is attributed to a static complexation photoinduced electron transfer mechanism as evidenced by lifetime experiments. The addition of FGH to 3Zn notably enhanced its emission intensity with micromolar affinity, but with a lower apparent binding constant than that observed for FV. FGH interacts with 3Zn through boronate-diol complexation and coordination of the imidazole ring of His. DFT-optimized structures of complexes 3Zn-FV and 3Zn-FGH show a picture of binding which shows that the Zn-complex has a suitable (B⋯Zn) distance to the two-point recognition with these analytes. Molecular recognition of fructosyl amino acids by transition-metal-based receptors has not been explored until now.

Abstract
The regioselective modification of polyols allows rapid access to their derivatives, thereby accelerating the polyol-related biology and drug discovery. We previously reported that benzoxaborole is a potent catalyst for the regioselective modification of polyols containing a cis-1,2-diol structure. In this study, we developed a bifunctional benzoxaborole catalyst embedded with a Lewis base. Benzoxaborole and Lewis base groups were designed to cooperatively activate a substrate (cis-1,2-diol) and reactant (electrophile), respectively, hence lowering the reaction barrier for the cis-1,2-diol moiety. The bifunctional catalyst indeed exhibited a significantly higher catalytic activity and selectivity for cis-1,2-diol modifications rather than a benzoxaborole catalyst without a Lewis base group. Mechanistic analyses, using both experimental and theoretical methods, supported the design of our catalyst. The bifunctional catalyst reported herein would be a new tool for the straightforward synthesis of polyol derivatives.

Abstract
All multicellular systems produce and dynamically regulate extracellular matrices (ECM) that play important roles in both biochemical and mechanical signaling. Though the spatial arrangement of these extracellular assemblies is critical to their biological functions, visualization of ECM structure is challenging, in part because the biomolecules that compose the ECM are difficult to fluorescently label individually and collectively. Here, we present a cell-impermeable small molecule fluorophore, termed Rhobo6, that turns on and red shifts upon reversible binding to glycans. Given that most ECM components are densely glycosylated, the dye enables wash-free visualization of ECM, in systems ranging from in vitro substrates to in vivo mouse mammary tumors. Relative to existing techniques, Rhobo6 provides a broad substrate profile, superior tissue penetration, nonperturbative labeling, and negligible photobleaching. This work establishes a straightforward method for imaging the distribution of ECM in live tissues and organisms, lowering barriers for investigation of extracellular biology.

Abstract
The reversibility of the covalent interaction between boronic acids and 1,2- or 1,3-diols has put the spotlight on this reaction for its potential in the development of sensors and for the fishing of bioactive glycoconjugates. In this work, we describe the investigation of this reaction for the reversible functionalization of the surface of CdSe/ZnS Quantum Rods (QRs). With this in mind, we have designed a turn-off Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) system that ensures monitoring the extent of the reaction between the phenyl boronic residue at the meso position of a BODIPY probe and the solvent-exposed 1,2-diols on QRs' surface. The reversibility of the corresponding boronate ester under oxidant conditions has also been assessed, thus envisioning the potential sensing ability of this system.

Abstract
Molecular recognition and sensing can be coupled to interfacial capacitance changes on graphene foam surfaces linked to double layer effects and coupled to enhanced quantum capacitance. 3D graphene foam film electrodes (Gii-Sens; thickness approximately 40 μm; roughness factor approximately 100) immersed in aqueous buffer media exhibit an order of magnitude jump in electrochemical capacitance upon adsorption of a charged molecular receptor based on pyrene-appended boronic acids (here, 4-borono-1-(pyren-2-ylmethyl)pyridin-1-ium bromide, or abbreviated T1). This pyrene-appended pyridinium boronic acid receptor is employed here as a molecular receptor for lactate. In the presence of lactate and at pH 4.0 (after pH optimization), the electrochemical capacitance (determined by impedance spectroscopy) doubles again. Lactic acid binding is expressed with a Hillian binding constant (Klactate = 75 mol-1 dm3 and α = 0.8 in aqueous buffer, Klactate = 460 mol-1 dm3 and α = 0.8 in artificial sweat, and Klactate = 340 mol-1 dm3 and α = 0.65 in human serum). The result is a selective molecular probe response for lactic acid with LoD = 1.3, 1.4, and 1.8 mM in aqueous buffer media (pH 4.0), in artificial sweat (adjusted to pH 4.7), and in human serum (pH adjusted to 4.0), respectively. The role of the pyrene-appended boronic acid is discussed based on the double layer structure and quantum capacitance changes. In the future, this new type of molecular capacitance sensor could provide selective enzyme-free analysis without analyte consumption for a wider range of analytes and complex environments.

Abstract
Neurotransmitters are important signaling molecules in the brain and are relevant in many diseases. Measuring them with high spatial and temporal resolutions in biological systems is challenging. Here, we develop a ratiometric fluorescent sensor/probe for catecholamine neurotransmitters on the basis of near-infrared (NIR) semiconducting single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Phenylboronic acid (PBA)-based quantum defects are incorporated into them to interact selectively with catechol moieties. These PBA-SWCNTs are further modified with poly(ethylene glycol) phospholipids (PEG-PL) for biocompatibility. Catecholamines, including dopamine, do not affect the intrinsic E11 fluorescence (990 nm) of these (PEG-PL-PBA-SWCNT) sensors. In contrast, the defect-related E11* emission (1130 nm) decreases by up to 35%. Furthermore, this dual functionalization allows tuning selectivity by changing the charge of the PEG polymer. These sensors are not taken up by cells, which is beneficial for extracellular imaging, and they are functional in brain slices. In summary, we use dual functionalization of SWCNTs to create a ratiometric biosensor for dopamine.

Abstract
Iminoboronates and diazaborines are related classes of compounds that feature an imine ortho to an arylboronic acid (iminoboronate) or a hydrazone that cyclizes with an ortho arylboronic acid (diazaborine). Rather than acting as independent chemical motifs, the arylboronic acid impacts the rate of imine/hydrazone formation, hydrolysis, and exchange with competing nucleophiles. Increasing evidence has shown that the imine/hydrazone functionality also impacts arylboronic acid reactivity toward diols and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). Untangling the communication between C=N linked functionalities and arylboronic acids has revealed a powerful and tunable motif for bioconjugation chemistries and other applications in chemical biology. Here, we survey the applications of iminoboronates and diazaborines in these fields with an eye toward understanding their utility as a function of neighboring group effects.

Abstract
New design and synthetic strategies were developed to generate functional phenyl boronic acid (BA)-based fluorescent probes incorporating the 1,8-naphthalimide (NI) tag. This fluorescent core was anchored onto the BA unit through small organic linkers consisting of nitrogen groups which can arrest, and internally stabilise the phenyl-boronate units. The newly synthesised fluorophores were characterised spectroscopically by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry and evaluated for their ability to bind to a naturally occurring polysaccharide, β-d-glucan in DMSO and simultaneously as act as in vitro cell imaging reagents. The uptake of these new NI-boronic acid derivatives was studied living cancer cells (HeLa, PC-3) in the presence, and absence, of β-d-glucan. Time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) of DMSO solutions and two-photon fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) techniques allowed an insight into the probes' interaction with their environment. Their cellular uptake and distributions were imaged using laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy under single- and two-photon excitation regimes (λmax 910 nm). FLIM facilitated the estimation of the impact of the probe's cellular surroundings using the fluorophore lifetime. The extent to which this was mediated by the β-d-glucan was visualised by 2-photon FLIM in living cells. The fluorescence lifetime observed under a range of temperatures varied appreciably, indicating that changes in the environment can be sensed by these probes. In all cases, the cellular membrane penetration of these new probes was remarkable even under variable temperature conditions and localisation was widely concentrated in the cellular cytoplasm, without specific organelle trapping: we conclude that these new probes show promise for cellular imaging in living cancer cells.

Abstract
The sensitive analysis of glycoproteins is of great importance for early diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. In this work, a sandwich-type electrochemical aptasensor was developed for the detection of glycoproteins using 4-formylphenylboric acid (FPBA)-modified Cu-based metal-organic frameworks (FPBA-Cu-MOFs) as dual-functional signal probes. The target captured by the aptamer-modified electrode allowed the attachment of FPBA-Cu-MOFs based on the interaction between boronic acid and glycan on glycoproteins. Large numbers of Cu2+ ions in FPBA-Cu-MOFs produced an amplified signal for the direct voltammetric detection of glycoproteins. The electrochemical aptasensor showed a detection limit as low as 6.5 pg mL-1 for prostate specific antigen detection. The method obviates the use of antibody and enzymes for molecular recognition and signal output. The dual-functional MOFs can be extended to the design of other biosensors for the determination of diol-containing biomolecules in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
It is of great importance to have sensitive and accurate detection of cis-diol-containing biologically related substances because of their important functions in the research fields of metabolomics, glycomics, and proteomics. Boronic acids can specifically and reversibly interact with 1,2- or 1,3-diols to form five or six cyclic esters. Based on this unique property, boronic acid-based materials have been used as synthetic receptors for the specific recognition and detection of cis-diol-containing species. This review critically summarizes the recent advances with boronic acid-based materials as recognition elements and signal labels for the detection of cis-diol-containing biological species, including ribonucleic acids, glycans, glycoproteins, bacteria, exosomes, and tumor cells. We also address the challenges and future perspectives for developing versatile boronic acid-based materials with various promising applications.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic sensors with the capability of long-term stability and low cost are promising in glucose monitoring applications. Boronic acid (BA) derivatives offer a reversible and covalent binding mechanism for glucose recognition, which enables continuous glucose monitoring and responsive insulin release. To improve selectivity to glucose, a diboronic acid (DBA) structure design has been explored and has become a hot research topic for real-time glucose sensing in recent decades. This paper reviews the glucose recognition mechanism of boronic acids and discusses different glucose sensing strategies based on DBA-derivatives-based sensors reported in the past 10 years. The tunable pKa, electron-withdrawing properties, and modifiable group of phenylboronic acids were explored to develop various sensing strategies, including optical, electrochemical, and other methods. However, compared to the numerous monoboronic acid molecules and methods developed for glucose monitoring, the diversity of DBA molecules and applied sensing strategies remains limited. The challenges and opportunities are also highlighted for the future of glucose sensing strategies, which need to consider practicability, advanced medical equipment fitment, patient compliance, as well as better selectivity and tolerance to interferences.

Abstract
Phenylboronic acids (BAs) are important synthetic receptors that bind reversibly to cis-diols enabling their use in molecular sensing. When conjugated to magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, BAs have potential for application in separations and enrichment. Realizing this will require a new understanding of their inherent binding modes and measurement of their binding capacity and their stability in/extractability from complex environments. In this work, 3-aminophenylboronic acid was functionalized to superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs, core diameter 8.9 nm) to provide stable aqueous suspensions of functionalized particles (BA-MNPs). The progress of sugar binding and its impact on BA-MNP colloidal stability were monitored through the pH-dependence of hydrodynamic size and zeta potential during incubation with a range of saccharides. This provided the first direct observation of boronate ionization pKa in grafted BA, which in the absence of sugar shifted to a slightly more basic pH than free BA. On exposure to sugar solutions under MNP-limiting conditions, pKa moved progressively to lower pH as maximum capacity was gradually attained. The pKa shift is shown to be greater for sugars with greater BA binding affinity, and on-particle sugar exchange effects were inferred. Colloidal dispersion of BA-MNPs after binding was shown for all sugars at all pHs studied, which enabled facile magnetic extraction of glucose from agarose and cultured extracellular matrix expanded in serum-free media. Bound glucose, quantified following magnetophoretic capture, was found to be proportional to the solution glucose content under glucose-limiting conditions expected for the application. The implications for the development of MNP-immobilized ligands for selective magnetic biomarker capture and quantitation from the extracellular environment are discussed.

Abstract
The detection of biogenic amines released from degraded meats is an effective method for evaluating meat freshness. However, existing traditional methods like titration are deemed tedious, while the use of sophisticated analytical instruments is not amenable to field testing. Herein, a cyanostilbene-based fluorescent array was rapidly fabricated using macroarray synthesis on a cellulose paper surface to detect amines liberated from spoiled beef, fish, and chicken. The fluorescence changes of immobilized molecules from the interaction with gaseous amines were used to monitor changes in freshness levels. Thanks to the high-throughput nature of macroarray synthesis, a set of highly responsive molecules such as pyridinium and dicyanovinyl moieties were quickly revealed. Importantly, this method offers flexibility in sensing applications including (1) sensing by individual sensor molecules, where the fluorescence response correlated well with established titration methods, and (2) collective sensing whereby chemometric analysis was used to provide a cutoff of freshness with 73-100% accuracy depending on meat types. Overall, this study paves the way for a robust and cost-effective tool for monitoring meat freshness.

Abstract
Polyborylated-alkenes are valuable polymetalloid reagents in modern organic synthesis, providing access to a wide array of transformations, including the construction of multiple C-C and C-heteroatom bonds. However, because they contain similar boryl groups, many times their transformation faces the main challenge in controlling the chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity. One way to overcome these limitations is by installing different boron groups that can provide an opportunity to tune their reactivity toward better chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity. Yet, the preparation of polyborylated-alkenes containing different boryl groups has been rare. Herein we report concise, highly site-selective, and stereoselective boron-masking strategies of polyborylated alkenes. This is achieved by designed stereoselective trifluorination and MIDA-ation reactions of readily available starting polyborylated alkenes. Additionally, the trifluoroborylated-alkenes undergo a stereospecific interconversion to Bdan-alkenes. These transition-metal free reactions provide a general and efficient method for the conversion of polyborylated alkenes to access 1,1-di-, 1,2-di-, 1,1,2-tris-(borylated) alkenes containing BF3M, Bdan, and BMIDA, a family of compounds that currently lack efficient synthetic access. Moreover, tetraborylethene undergoes the metal-free MIDA-ation reaction to provide the mono BMIDA tetraboryl alkene selectively. The mixed polyborylalkenes are then demonstrated to be useful in selective C-C and C-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. Given its simplicity and versatility, these stereoselective boron-masking approaches hold great promise for organoboron synthesis and will result in more transformations.

Abstract
Many successful stories in enzyme engineering are based on the creation of randomized diversity in large mutant libraries, containing millions to billions of enzyme variants. Methods that enabled their evaluation with high throughput are dominated by spectroscopic techniques due to their high speed and sensitivity. A large proportion of studies relies on fluorogenic substrates that mimic the chemical properties of the target or coupled enzymatic assays with an optical read-out that assesses the desired catalytic efficiency indirectly. The most reliable hits, however, are achieved by screening for conversions of the starting material to the desired product. For this purpose, functional group assays offer a general approach to achieve a fast, optical read-out. They use the chemoselectivity, differences in electronic and steric properties of various functional groups, to reduce the number of false-positive results and the analytical noise stemming from enzymatic background activities. This review summarizes the developments and use of functional group probes for chemoselective derivatizations, with a clear focus on screening for enzymatic activity in protein engineering.

Abstract
Bioactive flavonoids, the major ingredients of red wines, have been proven to prevent atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease due to their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity. However, flavonoids have proven challenging to identify, even when multiple approaches are combined. Hereby, a simple array was constructed to detect flavonoids by employing phenylboronic acid modified perylene diimide derivatives (PDIs). Through multiple non-specific interactions (hydrophilic, hydrophobic, charged, aromatic, hydrogen-bonded and reversible covalent interactions) with flavonoids, the fluorescence of PDIs can be modulated, and variations in intensity can be used to create fingerprints of flavonoids. This array successfully discriminated 14 flavonoids of diverse structures and concentrations with 100% accuracy, based on patterns in fluorescence intensity modulation, via optimized machine learning algorithms. As a result, this array demonstrated the parallel detection of 8 different types and origins of red wines with a high accuracy, revealing the excellent potential of the sensor array in food mixtures detection.

Abstract
Isomers of some chemical compounds may be dynamically interconvertible. Due to a lack of sensing methods with a sufficient resolution, however, direct monitoring of such processes can be difficult. Engineered Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A (MspA) nanopores can be applied as nanoreactors so that chemical reactions can be directly monitored. Here, an MspA modified with a phenylboronic acid (PBA) adapter was prepared and was used to observe dynamic interconversion between chiral configurations of boronate esters, which appears as telegraphic switching on top of nanopore events. The mechanism of this behavior was further confirmed by trials with different halogenated catechols, dopamine, adenosine, 1,2-propanediol, and (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol, and its generality has been demonstrated. These results suggest that an engineered MspA possesses an exceptional resolution in its monitoring of chemical reaction processes and may inspire the future design of nanopore small-molecule sensors.

Abstract
Two new series of air stable compounds of cAACX = fluorene/indene (X = Me2 , Et2 , Cy) [cAAC = cyclic (alkyl) amino carbene] have been isolated and well characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction, photoluminescence, cyclic voltammogram (CV) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies. Fluorescence studies reveals green light emission of cAAC bonded fluorene, whereas free fluorene generally displays a violet emission. Interestingly, the sterically crowded cAAC-fluorene analogue display solvatochromism and CF3 CO2 H sensing in solution. CV of the these compounds show a quasi-reversible electron transfer process, indicating the functionalization of fluorene/indene with radical anionic form of carbene, confirmed by CV/EPR measurements. DFT/TDDFT calculations and energy decomposition analysis coupled with natural orbital for chemical valence (EDA-NOCV) have been carried out to study different aspects of bonding and electronic transitions. Such a class of redox active and thermally stable organic molecules may be suitable for molecule based spin memory devices in future.

Abstract
Boronic acids and boronate esters find appreciable use in chemical biology. Molecules containing orthogonal boronic acid pairs can be utilized for sequential metal-catalyzed cross-couplings for facile preparation of complex bioconjugates including protein-protein conjugates. In this paper, we expand bis-boronic acid reagents for tandem covalent and dynamic bioconjugation. Sequential cross-coupling of 2-nitroarylboronic acid with cysteine residues and condensation of phenylboronic acid with salicylhydroxamic acids (SHA) readily afforded bioconjugates under physiological conditions with dual covalent and dynamic linkages. Both small molecule- and macromolecule-protein conjugates were amenable with this approach and reversible upon addition of excess unfunctionalized SHA or reactive oxygen species. These investigations provide new insights into the kinetic stability of SHA adducts.

Abstract
Phenyl boronic acids are valuable for medical diagnostics and biochemistry studies due to their ability to readily bind with carbohydrates in water. Incorporated in carbohydrates are 1,2-diols, which react with boronic acids through a reversible covalent condensation pathway. A wide variety of boronic acids have been employed for diol binding with differing substitution of the phenyl ring, with the goals of simplifying their synthesis and altering their thermodynamics of complexation. One method for monitoring their pKa's and binding is 11B NMR spectroscopy. Herein, we report a comprehensive study employing 11B NMR spectroscopy to determine the pKa of the most commonly used phenyl boronic acids and their binding with catechol or d,l-hydrobenzoin as prototypical diols. The chemical shift of the boronic acid transforming into the boronate ester was monitored at pHs ranging from 2 to 10. With each boronic acid, the results confirm (1) the necessity to use pHs above their pKa's to induce complexation, (2) that the pKa's change in the presence of diols, and (3) that 11B NMR spectroscopy is a particularly convenient tool for monitoring these interconnected acidity and binding phenomena.

Sun X. Glucose detection through surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy: A review. Anal Chim Acta 2022; 1206:339226.

Abstract
Glucose detection is of vital importance to diabetes diagnosis and treatment. Optical approaches in glucose sensing have received much attention in recent years due to the relatively low cost, portable, and mini-invasive or non-invasive potentials. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) endows the benefits of extremely high sensitivity because of enhanced signals and specificity due to the fingerprint of molecules of interest. However, the direct detection of glucose through SERS was challenging because of poor adsorption of glucose on bare metals and low cross section of glucose. In order to address these challenges, several approaches were proposed and utilized for glucose detection through SERS. This review article mainly focuses on the development of surface enhanced Raman scattering based glucose sensors in recent 10 years. The sensing mechanisms, rational design and sensing properties to glucose are reviewed. Two strategies are summarized as intrinsic sensing and extrinsic sensing. Four general categories for glucose sensing through SERS are discussed including SERS active platform, partition layer functionalized surface, boronic acid based sensors, and enzymatic reaction based biosensors. Finally, the challenges and outlook for SERS based glucose sensors are also presented.

Fluorescent-based nanosensors for selective detection of a wide range of biological macromolecules: A comprehensive review. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 206:115-147. [PMID: 35231532 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.02.137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Thanks to their unique attributes, such as good sensitivity, selectivity, high surface-to-volume ratio, and versatile optical and electronic properties, fluorescent-based bioprobes have been used to create highly sensitive nanobiosensors to detect various biological and chemical agents. These sensors are superior to other analytical instrumentation techniques like gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis for being biodegradable, eco-friendly, and more economical, operational, and cost-effective. Moreover, several reports have also highlighted their application in the early detection of biomarkers associated with drug-induced organ damage such as liver, kidney, or lungs. In the present work, we comprehensively overviewed the electrochemical sensors that employ nanomaterials (nanoparticles/colloids or quantum dots, carbon dots, or nanoscaled metal-organic frameworks, etc.) to detect a variety of biological macromolecules based on fluorescent emission spectra. In addition, the most important mechanisms and methods to sense amino acids, protein, peptides, enzymes, carbohydrates, neurotransmitters, nucleic acids, vitamins, ions, metals, and electrolytes, blood gases, drugs (i.e., anti-inflammatory agents and antibiotics), toxins, alkaloids, antioxidants, cancer biomarkers, urinary metabolites (i.e., urea, uric acid, and creatinine), and pathogenic microorganisms were outlined and compared in terms of their selectivity and sensitivity. Altogether, the small dimensions and capability of these nanosensors for sensitive, label-free, real-time sensing of chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical agents could be used in array-based screening and in-vitro or in-vivo diagnostics. Although fluorescent nanoprobes are widely applied in determining biological macromolecules, unfortunately, they present many challenges and limitations. Efforts must be made to minimize such limitations in utilizing such nanobiosensors with an emphasis on their commercial developments. We believe that the current review can foster the wider incorporation of nanomedicine and will be of particular interest to researchers working on fluorescence technology, material chemistry, coordination polymers, and related research areas.

Abstract
The lateral flow assay (LFA) is one of the most successful analytical platforms for rapid on-site detection of target substances. This type of assay has been used in many rapid diagnoses, for example, pregnancy tests and infectious disease prevention. However, applications of LFAs for very small molecules remain a demanding challenge due to the problem of obtaining the corresponding binding partners to form sandwich complexes. In this paper, we report an affinity-switchable (AS) LFA (ASLFA) for the rapid and selective detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), glucose, and ethanol in blood serum and urine samples. Unlike classical LFAs, which rely on the "always on" interaction between the antigen and the antibody, the working principle of ASLFA is based on the gold nanoparticle-conjugated AS biotin probe Au@H2O2-ASB, which can be activated by H2O2 for binding with the streptavidin (SA) protein. In the presence of glucose and ethanol, glucose oxidase and alcohol oxidase can react with the substrate to generate H2O2 and thereby activate Au@H2O2-ASB for binding with SA. Therefore, this ASLFA approach can be an alternative for classical glucose and ethanol detection methods in a wide variety of samples, where simple and rapid on-site detection is essential.

Abstract
Stabilizing mechanisms through covalent and non-covalent interactions have been studied along the years for color stabilization of anthocyanin dyes. In this work, the chemical functionalization of a natural and biocompatible marine-based polysaccharide (alginic acid) with 3-aminophenylboronic acid via carbodiimide coupling chemistry was carried out in order to create a bifunctional material for pH-dependent selective interaction with colored cyanidin-3-glucoside chemical species. The interaction studies were performed by UV-Vis, 1H, and 11B NMR spectroscopy. Overall, the apparent acidic and hydration constants are more stabilized in the presence of phenylboronic acid-modified alginate. For more acidic pH values the red cationic flavylium cation of cyanidin-3-glucoside mainly interacts through non-covalent electrostatic interactions with the carboxylate groups of the biopolymer derivative with association constant around 0.5 mM-1 while at higher pH values boronate-catechol covalent bonds are favored, promoting the stabilization of the colored neutral and anionic quinoidal bases of anthocyanins instead of colorless hemiketal and chalcones.

Abstract
Continuous control of blood glucose levels is important for the effective treatment of diabetes. The short-term use of enzymatic continuous monitoring systems involves expensive maintenance and is inconvenient, which limits their widespread use by diabetes patients. The fluorescent diboronic anthracene-embedded system has demonstrated in vivo continuous glucose monitoring for 12 times longer than enzymatic systems by protecting the dye from reactive oxygen species. However, its small Stokes shift and low excitation and emission wavelength should be heavily considered for easy fabrication. We successfully synthesized a derivative of bis-phenyl boronate with a large Stokes shift and long excitation wavelength by adding an acetyl moiety to the anthracene ring. This resulted in a ~90-nm Stokes shift and 15-nm and 80-nm redshifts of the excitation and emission wavelengths, respectively. The fluorescence of the synthesized probe increased proportionally with the glucose concentration because the formation of the boronic acid-glucose complex prevented photoinduced electron transfer. The association constant and quantum yield for acetyl-substituted diboronic anthracene with glucose was 20% and 13% higher than that of the analog, respectively. While keeping resistance to the oxidation by reactive oxygen species, the improved optical properties and glucose-detecting performances of the newly synthesized dye will allow better pairing of the source and detecting unit for in vivo continuous glucose monitoring, leading to easy fabrication and then contributing more to utilization by diabetes patients.

Abstract
Exposure to nerve agents, which are usually colorless and odorless gases, may cause organ failure, paralysis, or even quick death. Diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP) has been recognized as one of the most well-known chemical warfare nerve agent mimics. In the current study, we introduce a simple strategy for the development of a portable and reversible nanocomposite-based microporous strip for naked-eye detection of DCP within a few seconds. A dicyanomethylenedihydrofuran hydrazone (DCDHF-H) chromophore was synthesized by an easy azo-coupling reaction and encapsulated in situ during the preparation of cellulose acetate/cellulose nanowhisker/hydrazone (CA-CNW-H) nanocomposites. These CA-CNW-H nanocomposites displayed a bathochromic shift in the absorption intensity of about 142 nm from 438 to 580 nm with the increase of the DCP concentration. The present CA-CNW-H sensor strip displayed a detection limit for DCP ranging from 25 to 200 ppm. The color change of CA-CNW-H from yellow to purple due to exposure to DCP was detected by CIE Lab analysis. The morphology, fibrous crystallinity, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of the prepared CA-CNW-H sensor strips were investigated.

Abstract
Synthetic molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors used in combination with innovative assay protocols hold great potential for the development of robust, low-cost, and fast-responding sensors that are applicable in biofluids (urine, blood, and saliva). Particularly, the development of sensors for metabolites, neurotransmitters, drugs, and inorganic ions is highly desirable due to a lack of suitable biosensors. In addition, the monitoring and analysis of metabolic and signaling networks in cells and organisms by optical probes and chemosensors is becoming increasingly important in molecular biology and medicine. Thus, new perspectives for personalized diagnostics, theranostics, and biochemical/medical research will be unlocked when standing limitations of artificial binders and receptors are overcome. In this review, we survey synthetic sensing systems that have promising (future) application potential for the detection of small molecules, cations, and anions in aqueous media and biofluids. Special attention was given to sensing systems that provide a readily measurable optical signal through dynamic covalent chemistry, supramolecular host-guest interactions, or nanoparticles featuring plasmonic effects. This review shall also enable the reader to evaluate the current performance of molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors in terms of sensitivity and selectivity with respect to practical requirement, and thereby inspiring new ideas for the development of further advanced systems.

Abstract
A water-soluble fluorescent sensor based on carbazole pyridinium boronic acid (CPBA) was designed and synthesized. Its structure has been confirmed by CHN and 1H and 13C NMR, FT-IR, and MS spectral data. Fluorescence studies of the synthesized chemosensor CPBA showed a selective ratiometric fluorescent response for glucose among different monosaccharides. The results specified that CPBA is a pH-sensitive sensor that behaves differently in the absence and presence of glucose in the pH range 4–10. The pH, DLS, Job's plot, UV-visible, and fluorescence titration studies showed that the selectivity of CPBA towards glucose is through the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon. The fluorescence emission intensity of CPBA changes by more than 2100 fold by adding glucose, whereas it is 2 fold for fructose. The calculated binding constant value of CPBA for glucose (K = 2.3 × 106 M−1) is 85 times greater than for fructose, indicating the high affinity of the sensor for glucose. An amphiphilic chemosensor for a highly selective ratiometric fluorescent response toward glucose via AIE is introduced. High binding constant (K = 2.3 × 106 M−1) and low detection limit (5.9 × 10−7 M) make it an efficient chemosensor for glucose.![]()

Abstract
Boron was misconstrued as a toxic element for animals, which retarded the growth of boron-containing drug discovery in the last century. Nevertheless, modern applications of boronic acid derivatives are attractive in biomedical applications after the declaration that boron is a 'probable essential element' for humans by the WHO. Additionally, the approval of five boronic acid-containing drugs by the FDA has vastly impacted the use of boron in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, drug delivery, biomaterial exploration, pharmacological improvements, and nutrition. This review article focuses on the chemistries attributed to boronic acids at physiological pH, enticing chemists to multidisciplinary applications. Prospective uses of boronic acid in pharma and chemical biology, along with prospects and challenges, are also part of the deliberation. Understanding these fundamental chemistries and interactions of boronic acid in biological systems will enable solving future challenges in drug discovery and executing space-age applications.

Abstract
The [2-formyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]boronic acid as well as its benzoxaborole and bis(benzoxaborole) derivatives were obtained and their properties studied. The 2-formyl compound displays an unusual structure in the crystalline state, with a significant twist of the boronic group, whereas in DMSO solution it tautomerizes with formation of a cyclic isomer. All the studied compounds exhibit relatively high acidity as well as a reasonable antimicrobial activity. Docking studies showed interactions of all the investigated compounds with the binding pocket of Candida albicans LeuRS. High activity against Bacillus cereus was determined for the 2-formyl compound as well as for the novel bis(benzoxaborole), whereas the studied benzoxaborole shows high antifungal action with MIC values equal to 7.8and 3.9 μg/mL against C. albicans and A. niger respectively. None of the studied compounds exhibits reasonable activity against E. coli.

Abstract
Dual detection systems are of interest for rapid, accurate data collection in sensing systems and in vitro testing. We introduce an IrIII complex with a boronic acid receptor site attached to the 2‐phenylpyridine ligand as an ideal probe with photo‐ and electrochemical signals that is sensitive to monosaccharide binding in aqueous solution. The complex displays orange luminescence at 618 nm, which is reduced by 70 and 40 % upon binding of fructose and glucose, respectively. The electro‐chemiluminescent signal of the complex also shows a direct response to monosaccharide binding. The IrIII complex shows the same response upon incorporation into hydrogel matrices as in solution, thus demonstrating the potential of its integration into a device, as a nontoxic, simple‐to‐use tool to observe sugar binding over physiologically relevant pH ranges and saccharide concentrations. Moreover, the complex's luminescence is responsive to monosaccharide presence in cancer cells.

Abstract
A smart fluorescence "turn-on" probe which contained a dansyl amide fluorophore and an N-oxide group was designed based on the bioorthogonal decaging reaction between N-oxide and the boron reagent. The reaction proceeds in a rapid kinetics (k2 =57.1±2.5 m-1 s-1 ), and the resulting reduction product showcases prominent fluorescence enhancement (up to 72-fold). Time dependent density functional theoretical (TD-DFT) calculation revealed that the process of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the N-oxide moiety to the dansyl amide fluorophore accounts for the quenching mechanism of N-oxide. This probe also showed high selectivity over various nucleophilic amino acids and good biocompatibility in physiological conditions. The successful application of the probe in HaloTag protein labeling and HepG2 live-cell imaging proves it a valuable tool for visualization of biomolecules.

Abstract
The development of chemosensors to detect analytes in biologically relevant solutions is a challenging task. We report the synthesis of a fluorescent receptor that combines vibration-induced emission (VIE) and dynamic covalent chemistry for the detection of glucose in aqueous media. We show that the bis-2-(N-methylaminomethyl)phenylboronic acid-decorated N,N'-diphenyl-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine (DPAC) receptor 1 can detect glucose and discriminate between closely related monosaccharides including those commonly found in blood. Preliminary studies suggest monosaccharides bind to the DPAC-receptor with a 1:1 stoichiometry to produce pseudomacrocyclic complexes, which in turn leads to distinct optical changes in the fluorescent emission of the receptor for each host. Moreover, the complexation-induced change in emission can be detected visually and quantified in a ratiometric way. Our results highlight the potential of VIE-type receptors for the quantitative determination of saccharides in biological samples.

Abstract
We present fluorescent Janus hydrogel microbeads for continuous glucose sensing with pH calibration. The Janus hydrogel microbeads, that consist of fluorescent glucose and pH sensors, were fabricated with a UV-assisted centrifugal microfluidic device. The microbead can calibrate the pH values of its surroundings and enables accurate measurements of glucose within various pH conditions. As a proof of concept, we succeeded in obtaining the accurate value of glucose concentration in a body-fluid-like sample solution. We believe that our fluorescent microbeads, with pH calibration capability, could be applied to fully implantable sensors for continuous glucose monitoring.

Abstract
Selective molecular recognition of hydrophilic guests in water plays a fundamental role in a vast number of biological processes, but synthetic mimicry of biomolecular recognition in water still proves challenging both in terms of achieving comparable affinities and selectivities. This Review highlights strategies that have been developed in the field of supramolecular chemistry to selectively and non-covalently bind three classes of biologically relevant molecules: nucleotides, carbohydrates, and amino acids. As several groups have systematically modified receptors for a specific guest, an evolutionary perspective is also provided in some cases. Trends in the most effective binding forces for each class are described, providing insight into selectivity and potential directions for future work.

Abstract
In this research, three types of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers doped with a phenylboronic derivative at different ratios of -B(OH)2 groups to amino groups (-NH2) and one polyethyleneimine (PEI) polymer doped with a phenylboronic acid derivative were used as molecular receptors. The voltammetric glucose detection was based on the difference in the affinity of the tested systems in relation to 2-((ferrocenylmethyl)amino)propane-1,3-diol (Fc-1,3-diol) and glucose. Polymeric phenylboronic compounds were introduced to the electrode surface through an electrodeposition process at a constant potential. The obtained calibration curves were characterized by a wide range of linearity (0.005-100 μM) and low values of the limit of detection reaching even 0.0012 μM. Moreover, the influence of interferents (ascorbic acid, uric acid and fructose) was investigated at two different concentrations. Only fructose had a significant influence on the oxidation signal of ferrocene units, but solely in the case of R-Ph-B(OH)2 (where R = PEI or PAMAM; Ph - phenyl ring) systems with a low content of boron groups, and these systems form complexes with glucose in a stoichiometric ratio of 1 : 1. The reliability of the results was confirmed by determining the percentage of recovery (added glucose vs. labeled glucose). Most of the results met the acceptance criteria (95%-105%), allowing the developed electrochemical sensors to be successfully used for the analysis of real-life samples.
