Global pandemic has emphasized the needs for advanced pathogen diagnosis in dealing with newly emerged infectious threats, including the Langya henipavirus (LayV). LayV, as an emerging zoonotic pathogen, has potential to cause pandemic, but lacks of rapid diagnostic tools, particularly at point-of-care level. Here, we leveraged the merits of CRISPR-Cas12a biosensing and established a highly sensitive LayV detection method. By integrating CRISPR-Cas12a with RPA, 10 copies/μL ultra-sensitive LayV RNA detection has been achieved at room temperature within 30 min. More importantly, this study developed a special horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) reporter enabling CRISPR-Cas12a to detect LayV RNA without pre-amplification, achieving a sensitivity of 1,200 copies/μL detectable by the naked eye. These explorations can serve as accelerator for CRISPR-Cas biosensing toward rapid response for newly emerged biological threats, and also provide a method to realize simple, precise, and amplicon-free point-of-care pathogen screening for resource limited or underdevelopment regions.

Enzymatic modification, compared with traditional starch (St) chemical modification methods, avoids using toxic solvents and toxic catalysts. The horseradish peroxidase (HRP), being the most commonly employed natural green initiator, has found extensive application in starch grafting modification as a substitute for chemical initiators. HRP-catalyzed grafting of starch with vinyl zwitterionic monomers has not been reported. Here, modified starch (St-PSBMA) is first synthesized by grafting zwitterionic sulfobetaine [2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) (SBMA) onto starch by HRP/Acetylacetone(ACAC) binary initiation system catalyzed. The modified starch-based hydrogel is then prepared by the repeated freeze-thaw method. Compared with native starch-based hydrogels, which bind water molecules only through hydrogen bonding, the ability of modified starch-based hydrogels to bind water molecules is enhanced by ionic solvation. The modified starch hydrogels also have excellent antiprotein adsorption and antibacterial properties due to the presence of a strong hydration layer. The modified starch-based hydrogel also has excellent sensitivity and stability when used as a sensor for detecting joint motion. The binary HRP initiating system, employed in this study instead of the traditional three-component HRP initiating system, offers a novel and promising approach for grafting modification of starch without the need for strong oxidant hydrogen peroxide.

Cortisol, a corticosteroid hormone as a primary stress hormone response to internal and external stress, has been regarded as a gold standard reliable biomarker to evaluate human mental stress. The double enzymes strategy, using nanozyme and enzyme amplifying the electrochemical signal, has been widely used to improve the performance of electrochemical biosensors. An ultra-sensitive electrochemical cortisol sensor based on Au single-atom nanozymes had been fabricated through HRP labeled anti-cortisol antibody binding with Au by Au-S bond. Based on the high catalytic activity of Au single-atom nanozymes and the high selectivity of HRP-labeled anti-cortisol antibodies, the cortisol electrochemical sensor-based Au single-atom nanozymes had an excellent response to cortisol, such as high electrochemical activity, high sensitivity, high selectivity, and wide linear range (0.15–300 ng.mL −1 ) and low detection (0.48 pg.mL −1 ) through the four-parameter logistic model with 95% confidence. The electrochemical cortisol sensor was used to determine the cortisol concentration of human saliva at different times.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has been successfully employed as a protective coating to encapsulate enzyme via various immobilization strategies by recent works. However, in all of the research, ZIF-8 only acts as the enzyme-immobilization matrix. In this work, by exploiting the fluorescence quenching properties of the ZIF-8 surface, we for the first time properly amalgamated the basic functionalities of ZIF-8 for horseradish peroxidise (HRP) encapsulation and fluorescence quencher by constructing HRP@ZIF-8/DNA hybrids and gave the successive detection of Hg2+ and phenol. Specifically, we introduced a biomimetic mineralization approach for facile encapsulation of HRP by ZIF-8 with high HRP-encapsulation efficiency (98.4%). Indeed, the HRP@ZIF-8 biocomposite functioned as an active biocatalyst under biologically challenging conditions, such as alkaline condition, high temperature, organic solvent, long-term storage, and continuous operation. After addition of FAM-labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), the HRP@ZIF-8/DNA hybrid system could achieve rapid, specific, and sensitive detection of Hg2+ with a detection limit as low as 0.22 nM. Subsequently, benefiting from excellent catalytic activity of as-obtained HRP@ZIF-8 biocomposite, which could be successively utilized as a colorimetric sensor for sensitive measurement of phenol in micromolar level. It is believed that our strategy provides a convenient and efficient method for functionality integration of ZIF-8 without any complex modification. To the field of biosensing, our discovery broadens up the potential of bio-ZIF-8 composite for successive detection of two pollutants.

Silk sericin (SS) derived from silkworms has the characteristics of anti-oxidation, antibacterial, and biocompatibility, however, high solubility in water restricted its applications in biomedical fields. In the present work, SS was enzymatically graft-copolymerized with a hydrophobic vinyl monomer of methyl methacrylate (MMA), through a free radical reaction, through the combination use of hydrogen peroxide and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Efficacy of the HRP-mediated reaction was examined by means of FTIR, SDS-PAGE, and SEC chromatogram. A bio-composite of SS- graft -polymethyl methacrylate (SS-g-PMMA) was constructed subsequently, the corresponding wettability, thermal behavior, and biocompatibility of the obtained composite were examined, respectively. The data reveal that MMA was successfully copolymerized with the reactive sites in sericin chains, resulting in a noticeable increase in the molecular weight. For the membrane of SS-g-PMMA, the surface hydrophobicity was evidently improved compared to that of the untreated, according to the determined data of water contact angle and dissolution ratio. The current work develops an eco-friendly technique for reuse of the industrial waste like sericin, and provides a novel method for preparation of the sericin-based biomaterials as well.

The monitoring of the fungal genus Alternaria , which causes destructive brown spot disease in citruses worldwide and produces highly toxic mycotoxins , is extremely important to protect citrus and human health. In this work, we describe an ultrasensitive colorimetric method for the detection of genomic DNA of Alternaria from citrus fruit samples, using a system consisting of five groups of reporter probes. Each reporter probe is prepared by coupling recognition DNA and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on the surface of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) through a convenient and low-cost freezing-assisted method. Meanwhile, the capture DNA is immobilized on magnetic bead (MB) via biotin-streptavidin reaction. Then, the capture DNA, target DNA, and five groups of AuNP-based reporter probes form a stable DNA-heptamer sandwich structure on the MB, and then HRP generates a blue signal for the subsequent colorimetric detection. It should be noted that AuNP with a large specific surface area drives abundant HRP anchoring, resulting in significant signal amplification. In addition, there are five groups of AuNP-based reporter probes, which further amplify the detection signal. As a result, the detection limit of the artificial target DNA is as low as 15.6 pM. Because the detection signal can be recorded visually without any special equipment, and its sensitivity is high, this method represents a suitable diagnostic tool for Alternaria genetic detection.

We report an optofluidic catalytic laser for sensitive sulfide ion detection. In the catalytic reaction , horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme is used for catalyzing the non-fluorescent substrate, 10-Acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenox-azine (ADHP), to produce highly fluorescent resorufin , which was used as gain medium for lasing. Using sulfide ions as inhibitors, the catalytic reaction slows down, resulting in a delay in the lasing onset time, which is used as the sensing signal. The sensing mechanism of the catalytic laser is theoretically analyzed and the performance is experimentally characterized. Sulfide anion is chosen as a model ion because of its broad adverse impacts on both environment and human health. Due to the optical feedback provided by the laser, the small difference in the sulfide ion concentration can be amplified. Consequently, a detection limit of 10 nM is achieved with a dynamic range as large as three orders of magnitude, representing significant improvement over the traditional fluorescence and colorimetric methods. This work will open a door to a new catalytic-laser-based chemical sensing platform for detecting a wide range of species that could inhibit the catalytic reaction.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been reported to mediate a variety of physiological and pathological processes in living systems. In this work, a biosensor for determination of H2O2 was prepared by using an HRP/Ti3C2/Nafion film-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Ti3C2 nanosheets with remarkable conductivity and high specific surface area were chosen as carriers for HRP. Moreover, this biosensor modified with HRP has a specific catalytic effect on H2O2. The difference in peak current could reflect the quantitative change of H2O2. The linear range of the biosensor is 5–8000 μM, and the detection limit is 1 μM (S/N = 3). This biosensor was used to detect H2O2 in clinical serum samples of normal controls and patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The results showed that the difference between normal controls and patients is significant (P < 0.05), as well as the difference for patients before and after PCI (P < 0.01), but no significant difference existed between postoperative patients and normal controls. This biosensor has the advantages of simple preparation, high sensitivity, and quick detection, showing potential application in clinical diagnosis.

H 2 O 2 sensor is widely used in biomedicine, environmental governance and food processing. However, it is limited by the complex preparation processes and high cost of raw materials. In this work, we develop a facile, simple and cost-effective method to fabricate H 2 O 2 sensor based on a screen-printed electrode via in-situ growth method. The copper was first electrodeposited on the working electrode of screen-printed electrode (SPE) as a sacrificial layer, subsequently, the SPE was immersed in horseradish peroxidase (HRP) containing phosphate buffer saline (PBS). The Cu ions formed by oxidation of the copper layer combined with HRP and phosphate ions to construct HRP-Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 hybrid nanoflowers on its surface. The fabrication process is straightforward, without complex reaction conditions and dangerous drugs, which is conducive to mass production. This sensor showed a good linear response to H 2 O 2 with a detection limit of 1.8 μM and a sensitivity of 263.3 μA∙mM −1 ∙cm −2 . Additionally, it possessed excellent selectivity and long-time stability. The performance of this sensor was investigated in various beverages such as milk, beer, and juice, showing reliable detection of H 2 O 2 which highlights the potential practical applications of the sensor.

It is very essential and meaningful for detection and quantitation of aflatoxin in food and agricultural commodities to establish a rapid and accurate detection method. Herein, a novel electrochemical aptasensor for sensitive and selective detection of aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) was successfully constructed. The thiolated complementary strand (cDNA) of the AFB 1 aptamer (Apt) was immobilized on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) through Au–S bond. Then Apt was attached on the surface of GCE via by specific base pairing. In the presence of AFB 1 , the Apt was detached from the electrode surface by specific recognition between the AFB 1 and Apt, forming Apt-AFB 1 conjugates in solution. The conjugates were digested by exonuclease I ( Exo I) to trigger AFB 1 recycling. Finally, DNA-AuNPs-horseradish peroxidase (DNA-AuNPs-HRP) nanoprobes was bound with cDNA on the surface of electrode by specific base pairing. HRP could catalyze the oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ) to benzoquinone (BQ) by hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) for producing a strong electrochemical signal. Under the optimized conditions, the electrochemical signals increased with increasing concentrations of AFB 1 in a range from 10 −3 ng mL −1 to 200 ng mL −1 with a low detection limit of 3.3 × 10 −4 ng mL −1 . Moreover, the aptasensor has been successfully applied for the determination of AFB 1 in peanuts and corn samples and the recoveries were 88.5 %–110.2%, which would provide a novel method for the rapid detection of AFB 1 in food samples.

The establishment of a highly sensitive and efficient platform for detecting circulating miRNA in serum is important for disease diagnosis and prognosis. To this end, a self-assembled horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-based polymer (poly-HRP) dual signal amplification strategy, via skillful combination of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles as the capture nanoprobes and the poly-HRP as signal amplification probes, has been developed for highl-sensitive and accurate detection of circulating miR-142-3p in human serum. Just by mixing building blocks together at one time, the poly-HRP used for dual signal amplification can be engineered by only one-step assembly. As the poly-HRP can be directly prepared ahead, avoiding chain amplification reaction in the detection process, the assay can be rapidly accomplished in about one hour. The measured limit-of-detection (LOD) is down to 100 fM. Standard miR-142-3p spiked in human serum is measured with ideal recovery rates ranging from 97.46% to 115.90%. More importantly, this method was validated to be applicable to direct detection of miR-142-3p in serums, and the results suggested that the miR-142-3p levels of serum samples obtained from T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia children (n = 25) are significantly higher than those from healthy control groups (n = 25) ( P < 0.01). To conclude, the ingenious combination of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles and the poly-HRP presented in this work brings forth a rapid, convenient, yet simple, sensitive, and specific biosensing method that can potentially be applied for clinical diagnosis.

A novel sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor based on cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O)@copper-metal organic framework (Cu-MOF)@gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) core–shell structure was proposed. Cu 2 O@Cu-MOF@Au attached with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) triple-catalyzed hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) for detecting CEA antigen. In this work, 50 nm Cu 2 O nanospheres were prepared. Using Cu 2 O nanospheres as the core, Cu-MOF was coated on the surface of Cu 2 O nanospheres by reaction of Cu 2 O and ligands. Subsequently, chloroauric acid was reduced to Au NPs without adding any reducing agent and Au NPs dispersed on the surface of Cu-MOF. Finally, the Cu 2 O@Cu-MOF@Au-HRP-Ab 2 nanoprobe was successfully prepared. Immunosensors had good performance due to the following reasons. Firstly, Cu 2 O, Cu-MOF and HRP have excellent catalytic properties for hydrogen peroxide. In addition, the synergistic effect of Cu 2 O, Cu-MOF and HRP promoted the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and tripled amplification of electrical signals. Here, the successfully prepared immunosensor detected carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) sensitively, the detection range was 50 fg/mL–80 ng/mL, and the detection limit was 17 fg/mL. Besides, the proposed immunosensor had good stability, selectivity and specificity. Detection in human serum samples had good results without matrix effect. This provided a new idea for the clinical detection of tumor markers: "metal oxide—metal organic framework—precious metal nanoparticles" (MMP). Graphic abstract
