Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification techniques have always been one of the hot spots of research, especially in the outbreak of COVID-19. From the initial polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to the current popular isothermal amplification, each new amplification techniques provides new ideas and methods for nucleic acid detection. However, limited by thermostable DNA polymerase and expensive thermal cycler, PCR is difficult to achieve point of care testing (POCT). Although isothermal amplification techniques overcome the defects of temperature control, single isothermal amplification is also limited by false positives, nucleic acid sequence compatibility, and signal amplification capability to some extent. Fortunately, efforts to integrating different enzymes or amplification techniques that enable to achieve intercatalyst communication and cascaded biotransformations may overcome the corner of single isothermal amplification. In this review, we systematically summarized the design fundamentals, signal generation, evolution, and application of cascade amplification. More importantly, the challenges and trends of cascade amplification were discussed in depth.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 298:122787.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution can pose a threat to food safety and human health, and accurate quantification of heavy metal ions is a vital requirement. Emerging DNA nanostructures-based biosensors offer attractive tools toward ultra-sensitive or rapid analysis of heavy metal ions. However, the problems including complex design, severe reaction conditions and undesirable reliability are inevitable obstacle in advancing their extension and application. Herein, a ratiometric fluorescent platform was established for monitoring lead ion (Pb2+) in food based on dual Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and RNA cleavage-inhibited self-assembly of three-arm branched junction (TBJ). GR-5 DNAzyme was employed for Pb2+ recognition, and enzyme-free amplification technique catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) served to form FRET probes-carried TBJ. The substrate strand (S) of DNAzyme triggered the generation of CHA-TBJ, and Pb2+-responsive cleavage of S hindered the assembly of CHA-TBJ, causing opposite changes in the FRET states of FAM/BHQ1 and ROX/BHQ2 pairs. The fluorescence responses were recorded through synchronous fluorescence spectrometry to indicate Pb2+ concentration, allowing sensitive and reliable identification of Pb2+ in the linear range of 0.05-5 ng mL-1 with the detection limit of 0.03 ng mL-1. The Pb2+ detection can be achieved under conventional reaction conditions, simple mixing procedures and one-step measurement operation. The approach can afford excellent specificity for Pb2+ against competing metal ions, and can be applied to analyze Pb2+ in tea samples with satisfactory results. This facile fluorescence platform shows a capable method for Pb2+ detection, and provides new avenue in the development of ratiometric approaches and DNAzyme strategies for monitoring heavy metal pollution, facilitating the transformation of DNAzyme-based biosensors for food safety control.

Abstract
Nucleic acid testing for HIV plays an important role in the early diagnosis and monitoring of antiretroviral therapy outcomes in HIV patients and HIV-infected infants. Currently, the main molecular diagnostic methods employed are complex, time-consuming, and expensive to operate in resource-limited areas. Isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology overcomes some of the shortcomings of traditional assays and makes it possible to use point-of-care tests for molecular HIV detection. Here, we summarize and discuss the latest technological advances in isothermal nucleic acid amplification for HIV detection, with the intent of providing guidance for the development of subsequent HIV assays with high sensitivity and specificity.

Advances from conventional to real time detection of heavy metal(loid)s for water monitoring: An overview of biosensing applications. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:136124. [PMID: 35995194 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The rapid growth of the industrial sector has expedited the accumulation of heavy metal(loid)s in the environment at hazardous levels. The elements such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium and chromium are lethal in terms of toxicity with severe health impacts. With issues like water scarcity, limitations in wastewater treatment, and costs pertaining to detection in environmental matrices; their rapid and selective detection for reuse of effluents is of the utmost priority. Biosensors are the futuristic tool for the accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis of a specific analyte and integrate biotechnology, microelectronics and nanotechnology to fabricate a miniaturized device without compromising the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. The characteristic features of supporting matrix largely affect the biosensing ability of the device and incorporation of highly sensitive and durable metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are reported to enhance the efficiency of advanced biosensors. Electrochemical biosensors are among the most widely developed biosensors for the detection of heavy metal(loids), while direct electron transfer approach from the recognition element to the electrode has been found to decrease the chances of interference. This review provides an insight into the recent progress in biosensor technologies for the detection of prevalent heavy metal(loid)s; using advanced support systems such as functional metal-based nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, screen printed electrodes, glass beads etc. The review also delves critically in comparison of various techno-economic studies and the latest advances in biosensor technology.
