In this work, a novel and ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor was constructed for DNA detection based on functionalized gold clusters/graphene nanohybrids (AuNCs/GR nanobybrids) and exonuclease III (Exo III)-aided cascade target recycling. By utilizing the capacity of GR as universal template, different metal nanoclusters including AuNCs/GR nanobybrids and PtNCs/GR nanohybrids were synthesized through convenient ultrasonic method. Exo III-aided cascade recycling was initiated by target DNA, generating the final cleavage product (S2), which acted as a linkage between capture probe and the functionalized metal nanoclusters/GR conjugates in the construction of the biosensor. The AuNCs/GR-DNA-enzyme conjugates acted as interfaces of enzyme-catalyzed silver deposition reaction, achieving DNA detection ranging from 0.02 fM to 20 pM with a detection limit of 0.057 fM. In addition, PtNCs/GR-DNA conjugates presented peroxidase-like activity and the functionalized PtNCs/GR nanohybrids-based electrochemical biosensor also realized DNA detection by catalyzing the 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine-hydrogen peroxide (TMB-H 2 O 2 ) system to produce electrochemical signal. This metal clusters/GR-based multiple-amplified electrochemical biosensor provided an universal method for DNA detection.

Glucose management is an important part of disease control for diabetes patients, thus the development of a rapid and real-time point of care testing (POCT) device for monitoring blood glucose is of great significance. In this work, a paper-based analytical device (PAD) is constructed by combining acetylene black (AB)-hemin complex modified filter paper as sensing platform with a smartphone as signal detector. Large specific surface area of AB decreases the self-associate and aggregate of hemin in aqueous solution, resulting in improved peroxidase-like activity of hemin. Compared with graphene oxide supported hemin, AB-hemin exhibits superior signal response on paper. Glucose oxidase (GOx) catalyzes the conversion of blood glucose to hydrogen peroxide, and then AB-hemin complex catalyzes the oxidation of colorless 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue TMB oxidized products (TMB + ) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, thus achieving the visual detection of blood glucose. In optimal conditions, PAD provides an applicable linear range from 0.2 mM to 30 mM and a low limit of detection (LOD) (0.06 mM). Notably, the detection accuracy of the developed paper-based sensor is in good agreement with that of the commercially available blood glucose meter (p > 0.05). Moreover, the proposed PAD presents high recoveries from 95.4% to 112% (RSD ≤ 3.2%), and therefore holds great potential for glucose monitoring and diabetes diagnosis.

In this study, a facile method to sensitively detect melamine and highly improve the peroxidase-like activity of bare gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) at the same time is proposed for the first time. It is interesting to find that the addition of melamine could improve the peroxidase-like activity of Au NPs. By coupling with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethlybenzidine (TMB)–H 2 O 2 chormogenic reaction, a novel method for colorimetic detection of melamine is developed. The detection limit of this method is as low as 0.2 nM with the help of UV–vis spectroscopy and 0.5 µM by naked-eye observation, both which are far below the US food and Drug Administration estimated melamine safety limit of 20 µM. In addition, the present method is successfully applied for the detection of melamine in raw milk and milk powder. More importantly, the proposed method could also improve the peroxidase-like activity of Au NPs, which may not only provide a new approach to develop effective nanomaterials-based mimetic enzyme , but also irradiative to develop new applications for Au NPs in varieties of cost-effective and simple sensors in medicine, biotechnology and environmental chemistry.

In the present work we demonstrated an ultrasensitive detection platform for specific DNA based on nonlinear hybridization chain reaction (HCR) by triggering chain-branching growth of DNA dendrimers . HCR was initiated by target DNA ( t DNA) and finally formed dendritic structure by self-assembly. The electrochemical signal was drastically enhanced by capturing multiple catalytic peroxidase with high-ordered growth. Electrochemical signals were obtained by measuring the reduction current of oxidized 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine sulfate (TMB), which was generated by HRP in the presence of H 2 O 2 . This method exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity to t DNA with detection limit of 0.4 fM. Furthermore, the biosensor was also capable of discriminating single-nucleotide difference among concomitant DNA sequences .

The authors describe a photometric method for the determination of free cholesterol based on the oxidation of cholesterol by the catalytic action of the enzyme cholesterol oxidase. The hydrogen peroxide formed is used to oxidize the chromogenic compound 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by exploiting the peroxidase-like activity of carbon nanotube-supported Prussian blue (PB). This enzyme mimic was synthesized from a mixture of ferric chloride and hexacyanoferrate(III) in the presence of intrinsically reducing multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The composite can trigger the formation of a blue-green dye from TMB in the presence of H 2 O 2 . The findings were exploited to design a photometric (652 nm) assay that has a linear response in the 4 to 100 μM cholesterol concentration range and a 3 μM detection limit. The practicability of the method was verified by the successful analysis of free cholesterol in human blood samples.
Schematic of a carbon nanotube-supported Prussian blue (PB/MWCNT) hybrid used as a promising peroxidase mimic. It has the advantages of low cost, simple synthesis, high activity, and good stability. PB/MWCNTs along with cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) are used in a colorimetric assay for the determination of free cholesterol.

Ratiometric electrochemical assays have been demonstrated to be more sensitive and selective in various sensing events, mainly due to their affordable built-in correction and good self-reference capability. But it is known that complicated modification and labeling operations usually are necessary for the construction of ratiometric electrochemical assays, therefore is a hot and important issue needing consideration carefully. We herein report a new yet simple bare electrode-based ratiometric electrochemical bioassay to achieve sensitive and selective analysis of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), using a liquid phase system that contains CoOOH nanozymes and commercially available indicator substrate. This proposed bioassay works based on the ratiometric change of dual electrochemical signals, arising from an exclusive target ALP-triggered hydrolysis of electrochemical substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP). In this design, the two hydrolyzed products of electrochemically active p-nitrophenol (PNP) and electrochemically inactive phosphate anion (PO 4 3− ) are responsible together for the ratiometric electrochemical analysis of ALP. PNP exhibits a straightforward current response toward ALP content; however, PO 4 3− cannot show a direct electrochemical signal thus is rationally designed to offer an alternative response by linking it with the specific CoOOH nanozyme-catalyzed reaction of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and H 2 O 2 , in which the nanozyme-catalyzed product oxTMB shows a direct reduction current at the GCE, and significantly decreases with increasing PO 4 3− species due to the good inhibition of PO 4 3− toward CoOOH nanozyme activity. As a result, a ratiometric electrochemical strategy for ALP analysis with a low limit of detection of 0.366 U/L (S/N = 3) was successfully achieved by integrating the above direct and indirect dual electrochemical responses. This developed bioassay can allow the quantitative diagnosis of ALP activity especially with a label-free and modification-free merit, therefore paving the way for simple, convenient, and portable electroanalytical tools in biosensing design and application.

Accurate, rapid, and sensitive pathogenic detections play an important role in food safety. Herein, we developed a novel CRISPR/Cas12a mediated strand displacement/hybridization chain reaction (CSDHCR) nucleic acid assay for foodborne pathogenic colorimetric detection. A biotinylated DNA toehold is coupled on avidin magnetic beads and acts as an initiator strand to trigger the SDHCR. The SDHCR amplification allowed the formation of long hemin/G-quadruplex-based DNAzyme products to catalyze the TMB-H2O2 reaction. In the presence of the DNA targets, the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a was activated to cleave the initiator DNA, resulting in the failure of SDHCR and no color change. Under optimal conditions, the CSDHCR has a satisfactory linear detection of DNA targets with a regression equation Y = 0.0531*X – 0.0091 (R2 = 0.9903) in the range of 10 fM to 1 nM, and the limit of detection was determined as 4.54 fM. In addition, Vibrio vulnificus, one foodborne pathogen, was used to verify the practical application of the method, and it showed satisfactory specificity and sensitivity with a limit of detection at 1.0 × 100 CFU/mL coupling with recombinase polymerase amplification. Our proposed CSDHCR biosensor could be a promising alternative method for ultrasensitive and visual detection of nucleic acids and the practical application of foodborne pathogens.

Urchin-like peroxidase mimics 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-carboxyl phenyl) porphyrin–functionalized CuCo 2 O 4 nanospheres (Por-CuCo 2 O 4 ) has been fabricated as an excellent visual biosensor. X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been employed to characterize the composition, morphologies, and elemental analysis of the as-synthesized Por-CuCo 2 O 4 . The catalytic activity of Por-CuCo 2 O 4 was evaluated by the chromogenic substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with the aid of H 2 O 2 , which exhibited a visual blue change with an absorption maximum at 652 nm for only 10 s. The peroxidase-like behaviors of Por-CuCo 2 O 4 conformed to the Michaelis-Menten equation. Electrochemistry, radical scavenger, and fluorescence probe experiments verified that electron transfer, •O 2 − radicals, and holes (h + ) are the important factors during the catalytic oxidation of TMB. Based on the inhibition of dopamine (DA) on TMB oxidation, the Por-CuCo 2 O 4 -based colorimetric biosensor has been successfully constructed for sensitive determination of DA witha detection limit (LOD) of 0.94 μΜ. In addition, colorimetry was validated to detect DA in serum samples with high sensitivity and good selectivity. Graphical abstract

Extracellular respiratory bacteria (ERB) assume a significant role in biological and environmental remediation, so the rapid detection of ERB is essential to monitor its biological repair process. This study developed a microfluidic colorimetric biosensor for rapid and sensitive detection of ERB model strain Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. In the process of separation and enrichment of bacteria based on immune magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), the biological signal is significantly amplified by the excellent peroxidase activity of flower-like CoOOH (FL-CoOOH). Firstly, immune MNPs, samples and immune FL-CoOOH were mixed and incubated within the microfluidic chip’s channel. Magnetic capture in the separation chamber yielded MNP-bacteria-CoOOH complex. Then, 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate was added to make the FL-CoOOH nanozyme catalyze the formation of yellow product. Finally, the target bacteria in the microplate were quantitatively detected. Based on the excellent simulated enzyme activity and stability of FL-CoOOH, the detection can be completed within 45 min after the introduction of the microfluidic chip. The detection was 5×10 1 ∼5×10 6 CFU/mL. Compared with the previously reported colorimetric sensors for MR-1, the sensitivity was increased by 99.54 % to 23 CFU/mL. This study uniquely integrates optical sensors and microfluidic technology for rapid ERB detection with enhanced portability. The design of biosensor can facilitate further investigations into extracellular respiration mechanisms and rapid ecological environment restoration applications.

Heparin, a widely studied glycosaminoglycan, plays crucial roles in the regulation of various physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, it's important to develop highly selective and sensitive methods for convenient monitoring of heparin levels in biological systems. We report the design and synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 @PDA@MnO 2 nanoparticles (FPM-NPs), which exhibit dual enzymatic activities, enabling quantitative detection of heparin. The FPM-NPs feature a unique tri-layer spherical shell structure, possessing both peroxidase-like and oxidase-like activities, and catalyze the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence or absence of H 2 O 2 . Remarkably, upon co-incubated with heparin, the oxidase activity of FPM-NPs decreases, while the peroxidase activity increases. By leveraging these dual enzymatic properties of FPM-NPs, a highly sensitive and specific colorimetric detection of heparin is achieved, with a detection limit reaching 6.51 nM and a good linear response to quantify heparin ranging 10–800 nM. Additionally, the developed FPM-NPs are successfully applied to measure heparin in fetal bovine serum samples. We also extend this detection method to a paper-based chip, enabling portable detection of heparin through grayscale analysis of mobile phone photographs. The multi-nanozyme-based heparin detection approach provides a new perspective for future research on expanding the application of nanocomposite materials in biomedical detection and analysis.

A simple strategy to rapidly detect glucose was developed by utilizing core (Fe3O4)–shell (Pt) magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@Pt NPs) as a nanoenzyme and a paper-based colorimetric sensor. In the presence of H2O2, Fe3O4@Pt NPs catalyze the redox reaction of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and generate a colour change from colourless to blue. On this basis, a colorimetric glucose sensing method assisted by glucose oxidase (GOx) was developed. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limits of the proposed assay for H2O2 and glucose were 0.36 µM and 1.27 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the fabricated colorimetric method was successfully applied to analyze glucose concentrations by using a paper device as a measuring platform without a spectrometer. In addition, this method exhibited satisfactory recovery for glucose detection in human serum samples and urine samples, which satisfied the requirements for normal detection of real samples. This study provides a good candidate for health monitoring of glucose and also expands the applications of nanoenzymes and paper-based colorimetric assays in point-of-care testing.

The inappropriate administration of lincomycin hydrochloride (LIN) will lead to severe side effects. It is critically essential to establish LIN effective detection technique. In this work, a new nanozyme Cu-BDC@Ag 2 O was synthesized by hydrothermal method, which was composed of metal organic framework (Cu-BDC, with copper ion as metal center and 2-aminoterephthalic acid as organic ligand) and Ag 2 O, exhibiting enhanced oxidase-like activity (K m = 0.70 mM, V max = 42.53 × 10 −8 M s −1 ) and laccase-like activity. This enhanced activity was attributed to the interconversion between Cu + /Cu 2+ valence states and the synergistic effect between Ag and Cu elements. The superoxide anion radical ( O 2 – ) produced during the catalytic process of Cu-BDC@Ag 2 O can swiftly oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to a blue oxidation product (oxTMB). The methylthio group in LIN molecules reacted with Ag + in the nanozyme, forming a stable complex that inhibited the catalytic activity of Cu-BDC@Ag 2 O, causing discernible fading of the blue coloration. Based on this, a smartphone-assisted chromogenic detection system was established for LIN quantification. The linear range extended from 3.42 to 171 μM, with a detection limit of 3.14 μM. Moreover, the colorimetric sensing platform demonstrated promising results in the analysis of real samples with spiked recoveries in the range of 94.1–100.9 % and relative standard deviations lower than 8.0 %, and validated LIN content compliance with commercial ophthalmic solutions against pharmacopeial specifications. The developed colorimetric sensor demonstrated rapid response (4 min) and superior efficiency, offering a portable tool for LIN detection.
