Pyrethroid pesticides residues will not only pollute the environment, but also cause high toxicity to the human body. It is significant to establish an efficient and accurate method for pyrethroid detection in food. Considering that the common biomolecules like antibody is complicated and easy to inactivate, it is urgent to find a new type of biomolecule to specifically recognize pyrethroid pesticides. This study proposed the Capture-SELEX strategy to firstly select λ-cyhalothrin aptamer by immobilizing random ssDNA library. High-throughput sequencing was performed on the enriched ssDNA library through multiple Capture-SELEX rounds. Comprehensively inspecting structural similarity and homology , six sequences were chosen from five families for further analysis. The results showed that the aptamer (named LCT-1) could specifically recognize λ-cyhalothrin with the strongest affinity ( K d = 50.64 ± 4.33 nmol L −1 ). Molecular docking results revealed that the binding sites between λ-cyhalothrin and LCT-1 aptamer are mainly related to the bases A-5, C-6, C-28, A-29, C-30, G-31 and G-32. The LCT-1 aptamer was truncated to a shorter sequence (named as LCT-1-39) by removing other irrelevant bases, and its K d value was determined as (10.27 ± 1.33) nmol·L −1 by Microscale Thermophoresis (MST). Both LCT-1 and LCT-1-39 aptamers were employed as recognition molecules to establish the colorimetric aptasensors for λ-cyhalothrin detection, which displayed good repeatability and reproducibility. The detection limit of the aptasensors were individually calculated as 0.0197 μg ml −1 and 0.0186 μg ml −1 , and their recovery rate of λ-cyhalothrin in pear and cucumber samples was in the range of 82.93–95.50%. This article provides a promising application for the detection of λ-cyhalothrin.

The abuse of ribavirin, an antiviral drug, in poultry breeding can cause quality degradation and drug resistance. So it is of great importance to establish a simple and effective method for detecting ribavirin in foods. In this work, aptamers that could especially bind to ribavirin with high affinity were obtained by the Capture-SELEX method. After 15 rounds of enrichment, ssDNA library pool was enriched and then analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. The seven most enriched sequences were selected as candidate aptamers for affinity and specificity characterization. Among the candidate aptamers, APT-1 was proved to be the optimal aptamer. The dissociation constant (Kd) values of APT-1 obtained by the two methods of colorimetric and fluorescence were 34.34 ± 6.038 nmol L−1, 61.19 ± 21.48 nmol L−1, respectively. To study the binding mechanism of the selected aptamer, molecular docking was conducted and results indicated that hydrogen bonds were formed at binding sites located at G37, T38, A40, T53 and A54. Furthermore, to confirm the practicability of the selected aptamer, a fluorescence assay was designed, showing the liner range within 1.0–50 ng mL−1 and the low detection limit of 0.67 ng mL−1. Besides, the aptamer was applied for the detection of ribavirin in chicken samples and the recoveries ranged from 87.26% to 105.57%, which showed great application potential in food safety.

Chlorpromazine is a phenothiazine representative drug that can be used to anesthetize and calm animals. However, chlorpromazine excess may lead to residual persistence in edible tissues, which is potentially harmful to human health and animal production. In this work, high affinity and specificity aptamers against chlorpromazine were screened out based on Capture-SELEX. After ten rounds of screening, the candidate aptamers were obtained. The optimal aptamer of CHL-3 was obtained by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and SYBR Green I (SGI) fluorescence-competition methods. The Kd value of CHL-3 was 69.8 ± 9.81 nM. Subsequently, the Uio-66-NH 2 material was prepared, filled with rhodamine 6G (Rho 6G) dye into the pore, and sealed with CHL-3, and fluorescence probes were obtained. The ratiometric fluorescence detection method was established to detect the concentration of chlorpromazine. A linear relationship was obtained in a range of 1–100 nM, with a lower detection limit of 0.67 nM. Meanwhile, a good recovery was shown in spiked food samples, such as eggs and milk. These results indicate that the constructed ratiometric fluorescence strategy can be successfully applied in food detection.

Acyclic guanosine analogues, a class of widely used antiviral drugs, can cause chronic toxicity and virus resistance. Therefore, it is essential to establish rapid and accurate methods to detect acyclic guanosine analogues. In this study, five acyclic guanosine analogues (acyclovir, famciclovir, ganciclovir, penciclovir, and valaciclovir) were used as positive targets to obtain broad-spectrum aptamers through Capture-SELEX technology. Real-time quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) was used to monitor the aptamer SELEX process. After the sixteen rounds of selection against mixed targets, sequences were obtained by high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Furthermore, a broad-spectrum aptamer, named CIV6, was found as the higher performance aptamer that was suitable for five acyclic guanosine analogues by graphene oxide (GO) polarization and fluorescence assay. Finally, the aptamer CIV6 was used to construct GO fluorescence assay to detect five acyclic guanosine analogues. The limits of detection (LOD) of acyclovir, famciclovir, ganciclovir, penciclovir, and valaciclovir were 0.48 ng·mL −1 , 0.53 ng·mL −1 , 0.50 ng·mL −1 , 0.56 ng·mL −1 , and 0.38 ng·mL −1 , respectively.

There is still a great challenge of on-site and rapid detection for ethyl carbamate (EC) in liquor. Herein, the aptamer (EC1) against EC was firstly screened by Capture-SELEX strategy, and its affinity and binding sites for EC were further investigated by fluorescence assay and molecular docking . Under the premise of retaining the structural features, the obtained aptamer was further truncated into a short sequence (named EC1-34), which has the dissociation constant of 17.97 ± 0.98 nM for EC. Subsequently, a visible, rapid, and cost-effective test strip was firstly designed for EC detection in liquor, in which the cationic polymer was used to efficiently capture the recognition probe conjugated with EC1-34 aptamer and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The minimum detection limit of the test strip is calculated as 2.14 μg⋅L -1 . The rapid test strip can be widely used for EC detection in liquor due to the advantages of high stability, convenience and selectivity .
