Abstract: Escherichia coli O157:H7 can cause life-threatening gastrointestinal diseases and has been a severe public health problem worldwide in recent years. A novel biosensor for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 is described here using a film composed of ferrocene–peptide conjugates, in which the antimicrobial peptide magainin I has been incorporated as the biorecognition element. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was employed to investigate the surface characteristics of the newly developed biosensor and to monitor the interactions between the peptide film and the pathogenic bacteria. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) were employed to confirm the immobilization of ferrocene-conjugate onto the gold surface. Non-pathogenic E. coli K12, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Bacillus subtilis were used in this study to evaluate the selectivity of the proposed biosensor. The results have shown the order of the preferential selectivity of the method is E. coli O157:H7>non-pathogenic E. coli>gram positive species. The detection of E. coli O157:H7 with a sensitivity of 103 cfu/mL is enabled by the biosensor. The experimental conditions have been optimized and the plot of changes of charge transfer resistance (ΔR CT ) and the logarithm of the cell concentration of E. coli O157:H7 shows a linear correlation in the range of 103–107 cfu/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.983.

Abstract: Ultrathin platinum-coated gold (Pt@Au) nanoparticles with core@shell structure have been developed by under-potential deposition (UPD) redox replacement technique. A single UPD Cu replacement with Pt2+ produced a uniform Pt monolayer on the surface of gold nanoparticles, which are immobilized on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface based on electrostatic interaction. The ultrathin Pt@Au nanoparticles were confirmed by cyclic voltammetry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Voltammetry and amperometric methodologies were used to evaluate the electrocatalytic activity of the Pt@Au nanoparticles modified electrode towards the reduction of hydrogen peroxide under the physiological condition. The present results show that ultrathin Pt coating greatly enhances the electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, which can be utilized to fabricate the hydrogen peroxide sensor. Chronoamperometric experiments showed that at an applied potential of 0.08V (vs. Ag/AgCl), the current reduction of hydrogen peroxide was linear to its concentration in the range of 1–450μΜ, and the detection limit was found to be 0.18μM (signal-to-noise ratio, S/N=3).

Abstract: On the top of a multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) modified glassy carbon electrode (MWNTs/GCE), Pt nanoclusters were electrochemically deposited, fabricating a Pt/MWNTs composite modified electrode, Pt/MWNTs/GCE. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscope were used for the surface characterization of the electrode, and demonstrated the formation and distribution of Pt clusters of Pt nanoparticles of 8.4nm in averaged size in the MWNTs matrix. The preliminary study found that this composite modified electrode has strong electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of estrogens involving estradiol, estrone and estriol. The voltammetric behavior of estrogens on this electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry and square-wave voltammetry. In comparison with the MWNTs/GCE or a Pt nanoparticles modified GCE prepared in the similar way, this composite modified electrode exhibited much higher current sensitivity and catalytic activity. This electrode is also stable. The linear range of square-wave voltammetric determination was 5.0×10−7–1.5×10−5 mol/L for estradiol, 2.0×10−6–5.0×10−5 mol/L for estrone, and 1.0×10−6–7.5×10−5 mol/L for estriol. Under an assumption that the concentration ratio of estradiol:estrone:estriol is 2:2:1, the real sample of blood serums was tested for the determination using this electrode. Satisfactory result was obtained with averaged recovery of 105%. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

DNA has well-defined ability to recognize a wide variety of targets, such as small biological molecules, proteins, inorganic ions and small organic molecules. As molecular recognition elements, DNA can be used to build simple, rapid and sensitive biosensors for detection of these targets. DNA-based SPR sensors are considered to be a real-time and label-free tool. We present a systematical and critical review on DNA-based SPR biosensors and their signal amplification via various strategies, focusing on recent advances in nanomaterials, novel DNA amplifications, redox reactions on surface, enzyme amplifications, as well as promising multiplex amplification strategies.

Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a promising biomarker of liquid biopsy, but it still faces some difficulties in achieving sensitive and convenient detection. Herein, an Ω-shaped fiber optic localized surface plasmon resonance (FO-LSPR) biosensor based on hybridization chain reaction (HCR) coupled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed, and applied in simple and sensitive detection of cfDNA. Specifically, one-base mismatch was designed in HCR hairpins (H1 and H2) to obtain high reaction efficiency, and AuNPs was introduced onto H1 through poly-adenine to construct HCR coupled with AuNPs strategy. Meanwhile, target cfDNA was designed into two domains: one could trigger HCR to generate dsDNA concatemer carrying numerous AuNPs, and the other could hybridize with capture DNA on the surface of Ω-shaped fiber optic (FO) probes. Thus, the presence of target cfDNA would initiate HCR, and bring the formed dsDNA concatemer and AuNPs to approach the probe surface, resulting in dramatically amplified LSPR signal. Besides, HCR required simple isothermal and enzyme-free condition, and Ω-shaped FO probe with high refractive index sensitivity just needed to be immersed into HCR solution directly for signal monitoring. Benefiting from the synergetic amplification of mismatched HCR and AuNPs, the proposed biosensor exhibited high sensitivity with a limit of detection of 14.0 pM, and therefore could provide a potential strategy for biomedical analysis and disease diagnosis.

SARS-CoV-2 isolation from cold-chain food products confirms the possibility of outbreaks through cold-chain food products. RNA extraction combined with RT-PCR is the primary method currently utilized for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. However, the requirement of hours of analytical time and the high price of RT-PCR hinder its worldwide implementation in food supervision. Here, we report a fluorescence biosensor for detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein. The fluorescence biosensor was fabricated by aptamer-based conformational entropy-driven circuit where molecular beacon strands were labeled with graphitic carbon nitrides quantum dots@Zn-metal-organic framework (g-CNQDs@Zn-MOF) and Dabcyl. The detection of the N protein was achieved via swabbing followed by competitive assay using a fixed amount of N-48 aptamers in the analytical system. A fluorescence emission spectrum was employed for the detection. The detection limit of our fluorescence biosensor was 1.0 pg/mL for SARS-CoV-2 N protein, indicating very excellent sensitivity. The fluorescence biosensor did not exhibit significant cross-reactivity with other N proteins. Finally, the biosensor was successfully applied for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein in actual cold-chain food products showing same excellent accuracy as RT-PCR method. Thus, our fluorescence biosensor is a promising analytical tool for rapid and sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein. • An aptamer-based sensor could detect of SARS-CoV-2 in food products within 30 min. • Conformational entropy-driven circuit was designed for signal amplification. • g-CNQDs@Zn-MOF was utilized to improve stability and reproducibility of biosensor. • This strategy unlocks a route for the development of sensitive analytical tools.
