Abstract
Hydrothermally prepared copper-doped carbon dots (Cu-CDs) were modified with Ca2+, which serve as an excellent platform for the recognition of glycine. The feeble emission of Ca@Cu-CD increases substantially in the presence of glycine due to aggregation-induced emission. At the same time, there was a 5-fold increase in the current response of the Ca@Cu-CD modified electrode as compared to the control. The exceptional combination of fluorescence and conducting properties, along with Ca-glycine interaction, establishes our probe as a dual sensor for the detection of glycine in real serum samples. The limit of detection for this nonenzymatic fluorescence and electrochemical sensing are 17.2 and 4.1 nM, respectively. Furthermore, an extensive evaluation of the toxicity and bioimaging properties in fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster shows that the Ca@Cu-CD probe is not cytotoxic and can be applied for ex vivo imaging of glycine.

First PCR-free electrochemical bioplatform for the detection of mustard Sin a 1 protein as a potential "hidden" food allergen. Bioelectrochemistry 2023; 150:108357.

Abstract
A disposable electrochemical PCR-free biosensor for the selective detection of a fragment encoding the protein Sin a 1, a 2S albumin considered a diagnostic marker for sensitization to mustard, is reported. The methodology is based on the formation of DNA/RNA heterohybrids by sandwich hybridization of a specific fragment of the Sin a 1 allergen coding sequence with appropriately designed RNA probes. Labeling with commercial antibodies specific to the heteroduplexes and secondary antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was carried out onto the surface of magnetic beads (MBs). Amperometric transduction was undertaken on screen-printed electrodes using H2O2 as enzyme substrate and hydroquinone (HQ) a redox mediator. The electrochemical biosensor allows the simple and fast detection (75 min) of Sin a 1 reaching a limit of detection of 3 pM. The bioplatform was successfully applied to the analysis of the targeted Sin a 1 gene specific region using just 50 ng of non-fragmented denatured genomic DNA extracted from yellow mustard seeds.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors allow the rapid, selective, and sensitive transduction of critical biological parameters into measurable signals. However, current electrochemical biosensors often fail to selectively and sensitively detect small molecules because of their small size and low molecular complexity. We have developed an electrochemical biosensing platform that harnesses the analyte-dependent conformational change of highly selective solute-binding proteins to amplify the redox signal generated by analyte binding. Using this platform, we constructed and characterized two biosensors that can sense leucine and glycine, respectively. We show that these biosensors can selectively and sensitively detect their targets over a wide range of concentrations-up to 7 orders of magnitude-and that the selectivity of these sensors can be readily altered by switching the bioreceptor's binding domain. Our work represents a new paradigm for the design of a family of modular electrochemical biosensors, where access to electrode surfaces can be controlled by protein conformational changes.

Abstract
![]()
Glycine (GLY) is gaining importance in medical diagnoses
due to
its relationship with multiple physiological functions. Today, GLY
is exclusively analyzed using instrumentation centralized in clinical
labs, and a tangible point-of-care tool that gathers real-time data
from the patient for effective and fast evaluations is lacking. Relevant
clinical advances are expected as soon as the rapid provision of both
punctual and continuous measurements is possible. In that context,
this work presents a microneedle (MN)-based biosensor for intradermal
GLY detection in interstitial fluid (ISF). The MN tip is externally
tailored to detect GLY levels through the hydrogen peroxide formed
in its reaction with a quinoprotein-based GLY oxidase enzyme. The
analytical performance of the MN biosensor indicates a fast response
time (<7 s); acceptable reversibility, reproducibility, and stability;
as well as a wide linear range of response (25–600 μM)
that covers the physiological levels of GLY in ISF. The MN biosensor
conveniently exhibits high selectivity for GLY over other compounds
commonly found in ISF, and the response is not influenced by temperature,
pH, or skin insertions. Validated intradermal measurements of GLY
were obtained at the in vitro (with pieces of rat skin), ex vivo (on-body
tests of euthanized rats) and in vivo (on-body tests of anesthetized
rats) levels, demonstrating its ability to produce accurate physiological
data. The developed GLY MN biosensor is skin-wearable and provides
reliable, real-time intradermal GLY measurements in ISF by means of
a minimally invasive approach.

Abstract
Glycine is an important biomarker in clinical analysis due to its involvement in multiple physiological processes. As such, the need for low-cost analytical tools for glycine detection is growing. As a neurotransmitter, glycine is involved in inhibitory and excitatory neurochemical transmission in the central nervous system. In this work, we present a 10 μM Pt-based electrochemical enzymatic biosensor based on the flavoenzyme glycine oxidase (GO) for localized real-time measurements of glycine. Among GO variants at position 244, the H244K variant with increased glycine turnover was selected to develop a functional biosensor. This biosensor relies on amperometric readouts and does not require additional redox mediators. The biosensor was characterized and applied for glycine detection from cells, mainly HEK 293 cells and primary rat astrocytes. We have identified an enzyme, GO H244K, with increased glycine turnover using mutagenesis but which can be developed into a functional biosensor. Noteworthy, a glycine release of 395.7 ± 123 μM from primary astrocytes was measured, which is ∼fivefold higher than glycine release from HEK 293 cells (75.4 ± 3.91 μM) using the GO H244K biosensor.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) and its analogue (PBA) are a kind of representative cyanide-based coordination polymer. They have received enormous research interest and have shown promising applications in the electrochemical sensing field due to their excellent electrochemical activity and unique structural characteristics including open framework structure, high specific surface area, and adjustable metal active sites. In this review, we summarize the latest research progress of PB/PBA as an electrochemical sensor in detail from three aspects: fabrication strategy, synthesis method and electrochemical sensor application. For the fabrication strategy, we discussed different fabrication methods containing the combination of PBA and carbon materials, metal nanoparticles, polymers, etc., respectively, as well as their corresponding sensing mechanism for improving performance. We also presented the synthesis methods of PB/PBA materials in detail, such as: coprecipitation, hydrothermal and electrodeposition. In addition, the effects of different methods on the morphology, particle size and productivity of PB/PBA materials are also concluded. For the application of electrochemical sensors, the latest progress of such materials as electrochemical sensors for glucose, H2O2, toxic compounds, and biomolecules have been summarized. Finally, we conclude remaining challenges of PB/PBA-based materials as electrochemical sensors, and provide personal perspectives for future research in this field.

Electrochemical biosensor for glycine detection in biological fluids. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 182:113154.

Abstract
We present herein the very first amperometric biosensor for the quantitative determination of glycine in diverse biological fluids. The biosensor is based on a novel quinoprotein that catalyzes the oxidation of glycine with high specificity. This process is coupled to the redox conversion of Prussian blue in the presence of hydrogen peroxide originating from the enzymatic reaction. The optimized tailoring of the biosensor design consists of the effective encapsulation of the quinoprotein in a chitosan matrix with the posterior addition of an outer Nafion layer, which is here demonstrated to suppress matrix interference. This is particularly important in the case of ascorbic acid, which is known to influence the redox behavior of the Prussian blue. The analytical performance of the biosensor demonstrates fast response time (<7 s), acceptable reversibility, reproducibility, and stability (<6% variation) as well as a wide linear range of response (25-500 μM) that covers healthy (and even most unhealthy) physiological levels of glycine in blood/serum, urine and sweat. A total of 6 real samples from healthy patients and animals were analyzed: two serum, two urine and two sweat samples. The results were validated via commercially available fluorescence kit, displaying discrepancy of less than 9% in all the samples. The unique analytical features and effortless preparation of the new glycine biosensor position it at the forefront of current technologies towards decentralized clinical applications and sport performance monitoring.
