A novel colorimetric method for detection of cholesterol was developed with hemin-G-quadruplex DNAzyme by transducing oxidation of cholesterol into the color change of 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS 2− ). Oligonucleotide 5′-GTGGGTAGGGCGGGTTGG-3′ (Oligo-1) formed G-quadruplex structure in the presence of K + , it acted as a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) mimicking DNAzyme when binding hemin and catalyzed the oxidation of colorless ABTS 2− to green ABTS − by H 2 O 2 , which was produced by the reaction of cholesterol and oxygen that catalyzed by cholesterol oxidase. Therefore, the oxidation of cholesterol could be transduced into the color change of ABTS 2− by combining these two reactions. Under the optimum conditions, the absorbance was proportional to the concentration of cholesterol over the range of 1.0–30 μM, with a linear regression equation of A = 0.362 + 0.0256 C ( C : μM, R = 0.998) and a detection limit of 0.10 μM (3 σ /slope). Moreover, the practicability of the assay in the detection of cholesterol in human serum was studied as well.

The determination of the level of Cu 2+ plays important roles in disease diagnosis and environmental monitoring. By coupling Cu + -catalyzed click chemistry and metal ion-dependent DNAzyme cyclic amplification, we have developed a convenient and sensitive colorimetric sensing method for the detection of Cu 2+ in human serums. The target Cu 2+ can be reduced by ascorbate to form Cu + , which catalyzes the azide-alkyne cycloaddition between the azide- and alkyne-modified DNAs to form Mg 2+ -dependent DNAzymes. Subsequently, the Mg 2+ ions catalyze the cleavage of the hairpin DNA substrate sequences of the DNAzymes and trigger cyclic generation of a large number of free G-quadruplex sequences, which bind hemin to form the G-quadruplex/hemin artificial peroxidase to cause significant color transition of the sensing solution for sensitive colorimetric detection of Cu 2+ . This method shows a dynamic range of 5 to 500 nM and a detection limit of 2 nM for Cu 2+ detection. Besides, the level of Cu 2+ in human serums can also be determined by using this sensing approach. With the advantages of simplicity and high sensitivity, such sensing method thus holds great potential for on-site determination of Cu 2+ in different samples.

Herein, a nanocomposite of Cu,Ce-containing phosphotungstates (Cu,Ce-PTs) with outstanding laccase-like activity was fabricated via a one-pot microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. Notably, it was discovered that both Fe 3+ and Cr 6+ could significantly enhance the electron transfer rates of Ce 3+ and Ce 4+ , along with generous Cu 2+ with high catalytic activity, thereby promoting the laccase-like activity of Cu,Ce-PTs. The proposed system can be used for the detection of Fe 3+ and Cr 6+ in a range of 0.667–333.33 μg/mL and 0.033–33.33 μg/mL with a low detection limit of 0.135 μg/mL and 0.0288 μg/mL, respectively. The proposed assay exhibits excellent reusability and selectivity and can be used in traditional Chinese medicine samples analysis.

The increased uric acid (UA) level is closely related to many diseases. However, the detection of UA remains great challenges due to the pain of blood testing and the complexity of common methods. Therefore, the detection of UA is of great significance for public health. In this paper, a new method for UA detection is proposed. The swellable hydrogel microneedles (hydrogel MNs) can be used for minimally invasive extraction of skin interstitial fluid (ISF). The colorimetric detection of trace UA in ISF can be successfully achieved by virtue of DNAzyme@MOFs with enhanced peroxidase activity. This study provides a powerful tool for minimally invasive, painless, rapid and convenient detection of UA in clinical applications. This study not only avoids the use of expensive and unstable natural enzymes but also expands the applications of DNAzyme@MOFs in biomedical detection.

There is an urgent need for efficient and convenient methods to detect SARS-CoV-2 as the global pandemic continues. Currently, detection of COVID-19 relies primarily on reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), a laboratory-based method that is time-consuming. To tackle this challenge, the study proposes an immediate high-throughput detection platform for SARS-CoV-2. The platform uses a gold nanoenzymatic colorimetric assay that focuses on the specific detection of 3CLpro in SARS-CoV-2. The platform has been extensively characterized for stability, sensitivity, detection range, and response time. The colorimetric detection method not only provides easy-to-read results but also allows color readings to be taken using a smartphone, with accuracy comparable to that of large instruments such as a microplate reader. The innovation of this technology lies in the ability to achieve instant high-throughput detection, which makes rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 feasible. The proposed detection platform has a wide range of potential applications, particularly in the field of virus detection, providing an efficient and reliable solution for managing current pandemics and future disease prevention and control.

The sensitive and label-free detection of microRNA (miRNA) is crucial for the comprehension of miRNA-related pathological process, such as glioma. Here, we utilized a SYBR Green I (SG) catalytic photosensitization colorimetric reaction in conjunction with target recognition-induced exonuclease-iii (Exo-iii) assisted cascade toehold assembly amplification to achieve highly sensitive and label-free miRNA detection. In this research, the photosensitized generation of 1 O 2 by SG could directly oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) without the need for H 2 O 2 oxidation or enzyme catalysis, which simplifies the experimental procedures and renders the method highly stable. Furthermore, the Exo-iii enhances the target recognition induced catalytic chain assembly, thereby forming cascade signal amplification and providing the method with a significantly higher level of sensitivity than conventional colorimetric miRNA detection methods. Based on this, the proposed method exhibits a low limit of detection of 2.1 fM for miRNA-212 detection. Taking the merit of the high sensitivity, portability, and simplicity, the proposed method can serve as a highly effective nucleic acid detection tool and can facilitate the advancement of biosensors for point-of-care testing (POCT) and clinical disease diagnosis.

Kanamycin (KAN) can generate a serious threat to human health due to its tendency to accumulate in food. Current colorimetric strategy for KAN detection still faces some challenges, and nanozyme-based colorimetry is an ideal alternative approach. Herein, a non‑copper-based multivalent laccase mimic named Mn-Car is first synthesized through a self-assembly of manganese ions and the endogenous biomolecule carnosine, which is further used to develop a novel colorimetric method for ultrasensitive and selective detection of KAN. The laccase-like catalytic center is formed through the multidentate chelation bonds between manganese ions and imidazolium groups of histidine as well as carboxyl groups of β-alanine in carnosine. The multivalent oxidation states of manganese dynamically regulate electron transfer pathways through synergistic coordination. The unique Mn-Car architecture drives the efficient generation of superoxide radicals (O 2 · − ) and semiquinone radicals (SQ· − ). Leveraging the excellent laccase-like activity of Mn-Car , a highly sensitive colorimetric method for KAN detection is developed. Mn-Car forms polydentate chelation with the amino and hydroxyl groups in KAN, which can trigger multi-step cascade oxidation reactions that disrupt the structural core of Mn-Car and lead to reduced colorimetric signals. The colorimetric method achieves a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.102 μM and is successfully applied for on-site detection of KAN in water samples and honey, providing a novel platform for antibiotic residue analysis.

Kanamycin (KAN) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic employed for the treatment of bacterial infections in livestock and poultry and is widely used as a veterinary drug in animal husbandry. Its overuse poses serious threats to public health and ecosystems; while traditional detection methods cannot meet the requirements of widespread application and rapid detection, developing rapid and reliable technology for KAN detection is essential. In this study, a colorimetric aptasensor was developed to rapidly detect KAN residues, leveraging the enhanced catalytic effect of aptamers on the peroxidase-like activity of the Cu2O/hemin-graphene oxide (Cu2O/hemin-GO) nanozyme. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the Cu2O/hemin-GO nanozyme demonstrated excellent peroxidase-like catalytic activity, oxidizing 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The adsorption of aptamers on the nanozyme surface increased the negative charge density and significantly enhanced the affinity of the nanozyme for the positively charged chromogenic substrate TMB, boosting the catalytic activity nearly threefold. Upon exposure to KAN, the specific binding of aptamers to KAN reduced their adsorption on the Cu2O/hemin-GO nanozyme, leading to a decrease in the peroxidase-like activity of the Cu2O/hemin-GO nanozyme and a corresponding reduction in color change. The aptasensor exhibited excellent sensitivity with a linear detection range from 0.1 pM to 1 μM and a detection limit of 16 fM. The recovery rates for KAN in milk samples ranged from 92.05% to 110.71%. Furthermore, the colorimetric aptasensor demonstrated high selectivity and reproducibility. Overall, the colorimetric approach achieved the economical, simple and sensitive detection of KAN residues, indicating its promising potential in real-world applications. In addition, this sensing method could be applied to other targets by replacing the aptamer, providing a strategy for developing sensors facilitating rapid detection.

Phytosterols (PSs), a class of naturally occurring bioactive lipid compounds, have been found to possess a significant cholesterol-lowering effect. In developing countries, the consumption of rapeseed oil is the primary pathway of PS intake for the general population. However, developing low-cost, real-time, and high-throughput screening techniques for PSs remains a challenge. Here, a Cu-based nanocomposite CuOx@C was synthesized via a simple method of the calcination of HKUST-1 and systematically characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The CuOx@C demonstrated excellent peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity, functioning as a peroxidase mimic to facilitate the catalysis of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into its oxidized form (oxTMB), thereby initiating a discernible color response. On the basis of this discovery, a CuOx@C-based colorimetric method for detecting total sterols in rapeseed was successfully constructed via cascade reactions. After optimizing the conditions, the high-throughput screening of total sterols in rapeseed could be completed in only 21 min, which significantly facilitated the sensing of PSs. A linear range of 0.6–6 mg/g was achieved for the detection of total sterols in rapeseed samples, thereby satisfying the requirements for detection. In addition, due to the high stability of CuOx@C and the specificity of cholesterol oxidase, the developed method had excellent stability and selectivity toward PSs, indicating that this work has huge prospects for commercial application. This innovative work overcomes the limitation of the instrumental method and provides a portable and reliable tool for total sterols detection. It can also facilitate the development of oilseeds with a high content of PSs. Graphical abstract

A simple and sensitive DNAzyme-based colorimetric sensor for detecting Hg 2+ based on T–Hg 2+ -T base pair and magnetic beads (MBs) is proposed. In the presence of Hg 2+ , capture probes (CPs) immobilized on MBs are hybridized with the signal probes (SPs) consisting of G-quadruplex sequences with the help of T–Hg 2+ -T base pairs. The SPs are separated by MBs and used to bind hemin for the formation of catalytically active hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzymes, which catalyzes the H 2 O 2 -mediated oxidation of ABTS to produce a blue-green-colored product. A linear relationship between the absorbance and Hg 2+ concentration is observed over a range of 10–200 nM with a limit of detection 5 nM. Taking advantage of MBs separation/collection process, the sensing system can be regenerated by using EDTA as the chelator.

A colorimetric assay based on the oriented TA-AuNPs-PEG-FITC for rapid and sensitive PABA detection was proposed. Initially, the negatively charged TA modified on the surface of AuNPs enabled rapid binding to PABA due to the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond, resulting in a visible color change. However, particles were aggregated in a non-oriented way, leading to an unstable testing system which failed to realize the accurate quantification. Thus, the asymmetrically functionalized TA-AuNPs-PEG-FITC were prepared, in which the stabilizer agent of HS-PEG-FITC was attached to the specific sites on the surface of TA-AuNPs. Such a way of modification resulted in an oriented aggregation manner, the addition of PABA induced the formation of oligomers. Moreover, the introduction of FITC group acted as fluorescent marker, providing a simple, fast and quantitative method for characterization of PEG chain. The molar ratio between TA-AuNPs and modified PEG-FITC was further determined. A linear regression was established in a wide range from 10 μM to 1 mM with the LOD of 6.9 μM. Finally, the sensor was successfully applied in the health food. This was the first example in which TA-AuNPs-PEG-FITC were fabricated for colorimetric detection of PABA, and an indirect method based on fluorescence marker was well used to quantify the content of PEG chain.

A dual-mode approach was developed for dopamine (DA) assay based on boron (B) and nitrogen (N) co-doped carbon dots (B, N-CDs). This platform enabled highly sensitive and specific detection of DA in biological samples through collaborative ratio fluorometry and colorimetry. B, N-CDs were synthesized via a one-pot hydrothermal method using 3-aminobenzylboric acid (3-APBA) and proline (Pro) as precursors. B, N-CDs exhibited dark blue fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) light excitation with a quantum yield (QY) of 0.05. In the presence of DA, the fluorescence of B, N-CDs displayed bright blue with the QY at 0.22. The original fluorescence peak intensity at 420 nm of B, N-CDs decreased, while a new peak at 465 nm increased significantly with the increasing concentration of DA. In this case, a ratio fluorometry for DA detection was constructed using B, N-CDs as fluorescence probes. On the other way, the color of B, N-CDs solution changed from colorless to brown with the addition of DA. A colorimetry for DA sensing was established based on the absorbance enhancement of B, N-CDs. There is excellent linear relationship within the concentration range of 2.5–500 μM for DA sensing with limit of detection (LOD) at 0.22 μM (ratio fluorometry) and 1.04 μM (colorimetry) and the relative standard deviations (RSD%) are 0.2170 and 0.02131, respectively. To enable the real-time visual and portable quantification of DA, two intelligent methods were explored by a program named RGB color analysis in a smartphone and machine learning. This dual-mode sensing strategy combined high sensitivity, wide linear range and ease of operation, offering a novel solution for rapid analysis of DA in complex biological substrates.
