Enzymatically Mediated In Situ Generation of Z-Scheme Bi2S3/Bi2MoO6 Heterojunction-Based Organic Photoelectrochemical Transistor for METTL3/METTL14 Detection
The OPECT biosensing platform, which connects optoelectronics and biological systems, offers significant amplification and more possibilities for research in biological applications. In this work, a homogeneous organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) biosensor based on a Bi2S3/Bi2MoO6 heterojunction was constructed to detect METTL3/METTL14 protein activity. The METTL3/METTL14 complex enzyme was used to catalyze adenine (A) on an RNA strand to m6A, protecting m6A-RNA from being cleaved by an E. coli toxin (MazF). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) catalyzed the conversion of Na3SPO3 to H2S through an enzymatic reaction. Due to the adoption of the strategy of no fixation on the electrode, the generated H2S was easy to diffuse to the surface of the ITO electrode. The Bi2S3/Bi2MoO6 heterojunction was formed in situ through a chemical replacement reaction with Bi2MoO6, improving photoelectric conversion efficiency and realizing signal amplification. Based on this “signal on” mode, METTL3/METTL14 exhibited a wide linear range (0.00001–25 ng/μL) between protein concentration and photocurrent intensity with a limit of detection (LOD) of 7.8 fg/μL under optimal experimental conditions. The applicability of the developed method was evaluated by investigating the effect of four plasticizers on the activity of the METTL3/METTL14 protein, and the molecular modeling technique was employed to investigate the interaction between plasticizers and the protein.
