Abstract
The folding of RNA and DNA strands plays crucial roles in biological systems and bionanotechnology. However, studying these processes with high-resolution numerical models is beyond current computational capabilities due to the timescales and system sizes involved. In this article, we present a new coarse-grained model for investigating the folding dynamics of nucleic acids. Our model represents three nucleotides with a patchy particle and is parameterized using well-established nearest-neighbor models. Thanks to the reduction of degrees of freedom and to a bond-swapping mechanism, our model allows for simulations at timescales and length scales that are currently inaccessible to more detailed models. To validate the performance of our model, we conducted extensive simulations of various systems: We examined the thermodynamics of DNA hairpins, capturing their stability and structural transitions, the folding of an MMTV pseudoknot, which is a complex RNA structure involved in viral replication, and also explored the folding of an RNA tile containing a k-type pseudoknot. Finally, we evaluated the performance of the new model in reproducing the melting temperatures of oligomers and the dependence on the toehold length of the displacement rate in toehold-mediated displacement processes, a key reaction used in molecular computing. All in all, the successful reproduction of experimental data and favorable comparisons with existing coarse-grained models validate the effectiveness of the new model.

A sensitive and versatile electrochemical sensor based on hybridization chain reaction and CRISPR/Cas12a system for antibiotic detection. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1304:342562. [PMID: 38637031 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
A sensitive electrochemical platform was constructed with NH2-Cu-MOF as electrochemical probe to detect antibiotics using CRISPR/Cas12a system triggered by hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The sensing system consists of two HCR systems. HCR1 occurred on the electrode surface independent of the target, generating long dsDNA to connect signal probes and producing a strong electrochemical signal. HCR2 was triggered by target, and the resulting dsDNA products activated the CRISPR/Cas12a, thereby resulting in effective and rapid cleavage of the trigger of HCR1, hindering the occurrence of HCR1, and reducing the number of NH2-Cu-MOF on the electrode surface. Eventually, significant signal change depended on the target was obtained. On this basis and with the help of the programmability of DNA, kanamycin and ampicillin were sensitively detected with detection limits of 60 fM and 10 fM (S/N = 3), respectively. Furthermore, the sensing platform showed good detection performance in milk and livestock wastewater samples, demonstrating its great application prospects in the detection of antibiotics in food and environmental water samples.

Abstract
DNA is commonly employed as a substrate for the building of artificial logic networks due to its excellent biocompatibility and programmability. Till now, DNA logic circuits are rapidly evolving to accomplish advanced operations. Nonetheless, nowadays, most DNA circuits remain to be disposable and lack of field programmability and thereby limits their practicability. Herein, inspired by the Configurable Logic Block (CLB), the CLB-based erasable field-programmable DNA circuit that uses clip strands as its operation-controlling signals is presented. It enables users to realize diverse functions with limited hardware. CLB-based basic logic gates (OR and AND) are first constructed and demonstrated their erasability and field programmability. Furthermore, by adding the appropriate operation-controlling strands, multiple rounds of programming are achieved among five different logic operations on a two-layer circuit. Subsequently, a circuit is successfully built to implement two fundamental binary calculators: half-adder and half-subtractor, proving that the design can imitate silicon-based binary circuits. Finally, a comprehensive CLB-based circuit is built that enables multiple rounds of switch among seven different logic operations including half-adding and half-subtracting. Overall, the CLB-based erasable field-programmable circuit immensely enhances their practicability. It is believed that design can be widely used in DNA logic networks due to its efficiency and convenience.

Abstract
Efficient and accurate acquisition of cellular biomolecular information is crucial for exploring cell fate, achieving early diagnosis, and the effective treatment of various diseases. However, current DNA biosensors are mostly limited to single-target detection, with few complex logic circuits for comprehensive analysis of three or more targets. Herein, we designed a sea anemone-like DNA nanomachine based on DNA strand displacement composed of three logic gates (YES-AND-YES) and delivered into the cells using gold nano bipyramid carriers. The AND gate activation depends on the trigger chain released by upstream DNA strand displacement reactions, while the output signal relies on the downstream DNAzyme structure. Under the influence of diverse inputs (including enzymes, miRNA, and metal ions), the interconnected logic gates simultaneously perform logical analysis on multiple targets, generating a unique output signal in the YES/NO format. This sensor can successfully distinguish healthy cells from tumor cells and can be further used for the diagnosis of different tumor cells, providing a promising platform for accurate cell-type identification.

Abstract
DNA-functionalized hydrogels are capable of sensing oligonucleotides, proteins, and small molecules, and specific DNA sequences sensed in the hydrogels' environment can induce changes in these hydrogels' shape and fluorescence. Fabricating DNA-functionalized hydrogel architectures with multiple domains could make it possible to sense multiple molecules and undergo more complicated macroscopic changes, such as changing fluorescence or changing the shapes of regions of the hydrogel architecture. However, automatically fabricating multi-domain DNA-functionalized hydrogel architectures, capable of enabling the construction of hydrogel architectures with tens to hundreds of different domains, presents a significant challenge. We describe a platform for fabricating multi-domain DNA-functionalized hydrogels automatically at the micron scale, where reaction and diffusion processes can be coupled to program material behavior. Using this platform, the hydrogels' material properties, such as shape and fluorescence, can be programmed, and the fabricated hydrogels can sense their environment. DNA-functionalized hydrogel architectures with domain sizes as small as 10 microns and with up to 4 different types of domains can be automatically fabricated using ink volumes as low as 50 μL. We also demonstrate that hydrogels fabricated using this platform exhibit responses similar to those of DNA-functionalized hydrogels fabricated using other methods by demonstrating that DNA sequences can hybridize within them and that they can undergo DNA sequence-induced shape change.

Abstract
Herein, powerful DNA strand displacement reaction and sensitive electrochemical analysis method were ingeniously integrated to develop a programmable biosensing platform. Using DNA as the detection model, a cascade amplification system based on catalytic hairpin assembly and entropy-driven catalytic was constructed, and the reaction rate and signal amplification effect were significantly improved. The product of the cascade amplification circuit could undergo strand displacement reaction with the signal probe on the electrode surface to obtain sensitive electrochemical signal changes and realize highly sensitive detection of the target. In addition, without redesigning the DNA sequences in the cascade amplification circuit, the by-product strand typically wasted in traditional entropy-driven catalytic reactions can be fully utilized to construct a single-signal output biosensing system and even a dual-signal output ratiometric biosensing platform, improving the detection repeatability and reliability of the system, and expanding the application of DNA strand displacement reaction in electrochemical biosensing. Furthermore, benefiting from the design flexibility of the DNA molecules, the constructed biosensing platform realized the sensitive detection of aptamer substrate (kanamycin as an example) and certain metal ion (mercury as an example) by simply recoding the corresponding recognition sequence, demonstrating the good versatility of the biosensing platform.

Abstract
The rise of DNA nanotechnology is promoting the development of molecular security devices and marking an essential change in information security technology, to one that can resist the threats resulting from the increase in computing power, brute force attempts, and quantum computing. However, developing a secure and reliable access control strategy to guarantee the confidentiality of molecular security devices is still a challenge. Here, a biomolecule-driven two-factor authentication strategy for access control of molecular devices is developed. Importantly, the two-factor is realized by applying the specificity and nicking properties of the nicking enzyme and the programmable design of the DNA sequence, endowing it with the characteristic of a one-time password. To demonstrate the feasibility of this strategy, an access control module is designed and integrated to further construct a role-based molecular access control device. By constructing a command library composed of three commands (Ca, Cb, Ca and Cb), the authorized access of three roles in the molecular device is realized, in which the command Ca corresponds to the authorization of role A, Cb corresponds to the authorization of role B, and Ca and Cb corresponds to the authorization of role C. In this way, when users access the device, they not only need the correct factor but also need to apply for role authorization in advance to obtain secret information. This strategy provides a highly robust method for the research on access control of molecular devices and lays the foundation for research on the next generation of information security.

Abstract
Molecular circuits and devices with temporal signal processing capability are of great significance for the analysis of complex biological processes. Mapping temporal inputs to binary messages is a process of history-dependent signal responses, which can help understand the signal-processing behavior of organisms. Here, we propose a DNA temporal logic circuit based on DNA strand displacement reactions, which can map temporally ordered inputs to corresponding binary message outputs. The presence or absence of the output signal is determined by the type of substrate reaction with the input so that different orders of inputs correspond to different binary outputs. We demonstrate that a circuit can be generalized to more complex temporal logic circuits by increasing or decreasing the number of substrates or inputs. We also show that our circuit had excellent responsiveness to temporally ordered inputs, flexibility, and expansibility in the case of symmetrically encrypted communications. We envision that our scheme can provide some new ideas for future molecular encryption, information processing, and neural networks.

Abstract
Bridge DNA is an essential structure for programming chemical reaction networks. In this work, a bridge DNA guided assembly of nanoparticles has been constructed to program one-step and multi-step reactions via toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction for higher structural complexity and dynamic regulation behaviors. The structures of the bridge DNA linker and the length of the toeholds have an essential effect on successful construction of a molecular machine and achievement of multi-step reactions. A six-base toehold is enough to achieve the toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction in bridge DNA. When the difference between toehold length-2 and toehold length-1 is equal to or larger than one, the multi-step reaction can be triggered and performed by the driving of bridge DNA. For application, both simultaneous detection of two target DNA strands as well as the construction of logic gates can be achieved by changing the four single-stranded tails on the bridge DNA. In principle, this approach of the bridge DNA guiding the assembly of AuNPs can implement any behavior that can be expressed mathematically.

Abstract
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas12a, which exhibits excellent target DNA-activated trans-cleavage activity under the guidance of a programmable CRISPR RNA (crRNA), has shown great promise in next-generation biosensing technology. However, current CRISPR-Cas12a-based biosensors usually improve sensitivity by the initial nucleic acid amplification, while the distinct programmability and predictability of the crRNA-guided target binding process has not been fully exploited. Herein, we, for the first time, propose a modular and sensitive CRISPR-Cas12a fluorometric aptasensor by integrating an enzyme-free and robust crRNA-mediated catalytic nucleic acid network, namely, Cas12a-CMCAN, in which crRNA acts as an initiator to actuate cascade toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions (TM-SDRs). As a proof of concept, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was selected as a model target. Owing to the multiturnover of CRISPR-Cas12a trans-cleavage and the inherent recycling amplification network, this method achieved a limit of detection value of 0.16 μM (20-fold lower than direct Cas12a-based ATP detection) with a linear range from 0.30 to 175 μM. In addition, Cas12a-CMCAN can be successfully employed to detect ATP levels in diluted human serum samples. Considering the simplicity, sensitivity, and easy to tune many targets by changing aptamer sequences, the Cas12a-CMCAN sensing method is expected to offer a heuristic idea for the development of CRISPR-Cas12a-based biosensors and unlock its potential for general and convenient molecule diagnostics.

Abstract
Synthetic analogues of natural oligonucleotides known as locked nucleic acids (LNAs) offer superior nuclease resistance and cytocompatibility for numerous scenarios ranging from in vitro detection to intracellular imaging of nucleic acids. While recognized as stronger hybridization partners than equivalent DNA residues, quantitative analysis of LNA hybridization activity is lacking, especially with respect to competitive displacement of the original hybridization partner by another oligonucleotide. In the current study, we perform in situ measurements of toehold-mediated competitive displacement of soluble, fluorescently labeled primary targets from probe strands immobilized on microspheres using high throughput flow cytometry. Both LNA-DNA hybrid sequences and pure DNA sequences are employed as the immobilized strands, as soluble, fluorescently labeled 9-base-long primary targets, and as unlabeled 15-base-long secondary or competitive targets. In addition to comparing chemically substituted and unsubstituted sequences, we explore the effects of mismatched primary targets and the location of the toehold segment within the primary duplexes on the resulting displacement profiles. The primary duplex or double-stranded probe (dsprobe) systems implemented here exhibited varying responses to unlabeled secondary targets ranging from surprisingly modest primary target displacement activity despite the presence of a six base-long nucleotide toehold segment at the dsprobe free end to distinctive displacement profiles sensitive to LNA substitutions and the placement of the toehold segment closer to the microsphere surface.

Abstract
The DNA toehold mediated strand displacement reaction is one of the semi-synthetic biology technologies for next-generation computers. In this article, we present a framework for a novel nonlinear neural network based on an engineered biochemical circuit, which is constructed by several reaction modules including catalysis, degradation and adjustment reaction modules. The proposed neural network possesses an architecture that is similar to that of an error back propagation neural network, and is built of an input layer, hidden layer and output layer. As a proof of concept, we utilize this nonlinear neural network based on an analog DNA toehold mediated strand displacement reaction circuit to learn the standard quadratic form function and analyze the robustness of the nonlinear neural network toward DNA strand concentration detection, DNA strand displacement reaction rate and noise. Unlike in error back propagation neural networks, the adaptive behavior of this DNA molecular neural network system endows it with supervised learning capability. This investigation will highlight the potential of analog DNA displacement reaction circuits for implementing artificial intelligence.

Abstract
The exploitation of accurate and robust photoelectrochemical (PEC) approaches in whole biosensing community counts on the smooth electrons transport and delicate biological design. An aptasensor using depositional rutile titanium dioxide/bismuth vanadate nanoarrays (TiO2/BiVO4 NAs) as photoanode generator and strand-displacement model as nucleic acid frame was developed for microRNA-155 (miRNA-155) detection root in original idea. Photoanode was fabricated via a three-step overlayer deposition procedure including hydrothermal method, electrodeposition and ion beam sputtering. With a sufficient dense of oriented arrays, it provided a solid substrate and fast electronic kinetics reaction during host-guest recognition. In situ yielding electron donors were integrated into the PEC system to provide the most accurate quantitative analysis. The nanoarrays-triggered PEC platform opens another potential perspective in biosensing.

Abstract
DNA logic gates, nanocomputing circuits, have already implemented basic computations and shown great signal potential for nano logic material application. However, the reaction temperature and computing speed still limit its development. Performing complicated computations requires a more stable component and a better computing platform. We proposed a more stable design of logic gates based on a triple, double-stranded, DNA (T-dsDNA) structure. We demonstrated a half adder and a full adder using these DNA nanocircuits and performed the computations in a microfluidic chip device at room temperature. When the solutions were mixed in the device, we obtained the expected results in real time, which suggested that the T-dsDNA combined microfluidic chip provides a concise strategy for large DNA nanocircuits.

Abstract
DNA strand displacement (DSD) is regarded as a foundation for the construction of biological computing systems because of the predictability of DNA molecular behaviors. Some complex system dynamics can be approximated by cascading DSD reaction modules with different functions. In this paper, four DSD reaction modules are used to realize chaotic secure communication based on drive-response synchronization of four-dimensional chaotic systems. The system adopts the communication technology of chaos masking and uses a single-channel synchronization scheme to achieve high accuracy. The simulation results demonstrate that encryption and decryption of the signal are achieved by the design. Moreover, the system is robust to noise signals and interference during the DNA reactions. This work provides a method for the application of DNA molecular computation in the communication field.

Abstract
ZnSe nanodisks:Ti3C2 MXene complex was prepared for the first time. Based on its remarkable photoelectrochemical performance, combined with the enzyme-free toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction, a photoelectrochemical biosensor for the detection of the non-small-cell cancer biomarker ctDNA KRAS G12D was developed. ZnSe nanodisks were in situ grown on Ti3C2 MXene surface by two-step hydrothermal method. The high conductivity and adjustable band gap of MXene significantly enhanced the photoelectric response of ZnSe. Subsequently, the photoelectrochemical biosensor was prepared by combining with the signal amplification function of p-aminophenol and the enzyme-free toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction on the modified ITO electrode surface. Under the optimized conditions, the linear detection range is 0.5 ~ 100.0 fM, and the detection limit is 0.2 fM, which realizes the sensitive detection of KRAS G12D. The photoelectrochemical biosensor constructed opens up a new pathway for the preparation of new Mxene-based composite materials and the research of photoelectrochemical biosensor.
